2. Assessment of breast reconstruction with DIEP flaps
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

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

4. Perfusion Monitoring of Advancement and Rotational Flaps. Oculoplastic Surgery and 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

5. Surgical trauma, inflammation and tissue injury
Abstract : Surgical tissue trauma is a strong stimulus for local inflammation, including leukocyte recruitment. While such a response may be of importance for the defense against microorganisms, it is also clear that inflammation may contribute to further tissue injury. READ MORE
