In contrast, flaps do survive by a complete autonomous vascularisation created by microanastomosis between donor and recipient vessels. For years, these types of flaps have been used in reconstructive surgery, especially for head and neck reconstruction, breast reconstruction and lower limb salvage. ...
Background The aim of this study was to compare long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes in terms of satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following postmastectomy breast reconstruction using BREAST-Q in patients undergoing implant-based reconstruction, abdominal-based autologous...

Corneal wound healing involves communication between the different cell types that constitute the three cellular layers of the cornea (epithelium, stroma and endothelium), a process ensured in part by a category of extracellular vesicles called exosomes. In the present study, we isolated exosomes relea...
when a patient has a limited amount of donor skin—for example, in those who are severely burned or in children who have large congenitalmoles. Implants and expander devices have also been adapted for breast reconstruction followingmastectomyinbreast cancerpatients and for aesthetic breast augmentation...
