  2. 1. Experimental skin flaps and nitric oxide

    Author : Örjan Gribbe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Surgical flaps; nitric oxide; ischemia; reperfusion; nitrite; laser Doppler; transit-time ultrasound flowmetry; electron microscopy; NO donors; NOS inhibitors;

    Abstract : Surgical flaps are used in plastic surgery to reconstruct tissue defects due to trauma or cancer removal. Occasionally flaps are subjected to ischemia and reperfusion injury leading to flap failure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Assessment of breast reconstruction with DIEP flaps

    Author : Stina Klasson; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : Plastic surgery; breast reconstruction; DIEP flap;

    Abstract : Reconstruction with a Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap is considered to be the first choice forautologous breast reconstruction. Skin and fat are transplanted from the lower abdomen to the chest were theblood vessels are reconnected through microsurgery. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pedicled and free TRAM flaps in breast reconstructions : a comparative study

    Author : Åsa Edsander-Nord; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : breast reconstruction; TRAM; pedicled flap; free flap; microdialysis; monitoring; flap circulation; flap metabolism; glucose; lactate; glycerol; abdominal muscles; trunk muscle strength; KIN-COM; quantitative sensory testing; tactile perception threshold; thermal perception threshold; breast volume; thermoplastic; quality of life; SF-36; esthetic evaluation; applanation tonometry;

    Abstract : The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap is frequently used when autologous tissue is desired for breast reconstruction, and it can be transferred pedicled or free. The pedicled TRAM flap is elevated as a lower transverse abdominal flap with the rectus abdominis muscle attached in the epigastric area, by which means the deep superior epigastric vessels nourish the flap.

  6. 4. Perfusion Monitoring of Advancement and Rotational Flaps. Oculoplastic Surgery and Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging

    Author : Cu Dybelius Ansson; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; flap; eyelid; oculoplastic; diathermic coagulation; laser speckle contrast imaging; perfusion; flap; eyelid; oculoplastic; diathermic coagulation; laser speckle contrast imaging;

    Abstract : Flaps are widely used in oculoplastic reconstructive surgery to cover defects following the removal of tumors, malformations, or trauma. Adequate blood perfusion of the flap is crucial for its survival. Knowledge about the perfusion in different type of flaps is therefore of great value. READ MORE
