Skin surgical flaps. Medical search. Frequent questions

Breast-reconstruction mammoplasty can sometimes be realised with the application of a pedicled flap of tissue that has been harvested from the latissimus dorsi muscle, which is the broadest muscle of the back, to which the pedicle ("foot") of the tissue flap remains attached until it successfully grafts to the recipient site, the mastectomy wound. (wikipedia.org)
An investigation was made of the ability of this new type of gauze to act as a dressing for skin graft donor sites, partial-thickness burn injuries, and split-thickness skin grafts. (medbc.com)
The control dressings used for comparative purposes were as follows: fine mesh gauze for the skin graft donor sites, silver sulphadiazine (Silvadene) on coarse mesh gauze for the partial-thickness burns, and nitrofurazone (Furacin) on fine mesh gauze for the skin grafts. (medbc.com)

Free-flap breast reconstruction is a type of autologous-tissue breast reconstruction applied after mastectomy for breast cancer, without the emplacement of a breast implant prosthesis. (wikipedia.org)
As a type of plastic surgery, the free-flap procedure for breast reconstruction employs tissues, harvested from another part of the woman's body, to create a vascularised flap, which is equipped with its own blood vessels. (wikipedia.org)
The clinical advantage of the free-flap breast reconstruction procedure is avoidance of the medical complications-infection, malposition of the breast implant(s), capsular contracture-which occasionally occur consequent to breast-reconstruction surgery procedures that emplace breast prostheses to the mastectomy wounds. (wikipedia.org)
The clinical disadvantages of free-flap breast reconstruction surgery are: (i) the technical complexity of the plastic surgery procedure, (ii) prolonged surgical operation times, (iii) additional, secondary scarring at the flap-tissue donor site, (iv) possible medical complications at the flap-tissue donor-site, and (v) possible necrosis of the tissues harvested to create the free-flap.

In surgical praxis, the abdomen is the primary donor-site for harvesting the tissues to create the free flap, because that region of the woman's body usually contain's sufficient (redundant) adipocyte fat and skin -tissues that are biologically compatible and aesthetically adequate for the construction of a substitute breast. (wikipedia.org)
The secondary donor-sites for harvesting adipocyte and skin tissues to create a free flap are the regions of: (i) the gluteus maximus muscles, (ii) the medial thigh, (iii) the buttocks, and (iv) the waist of the woman's body. (wikipedia.org)
Disadvantages Besides a long scar to the abdomen, the surgical sacrifice of the rectus abdominis muscle can result in a higher risk of medical complications of the abdominal donor-site, such as hernia, and consequent intestinal protrusion (bulging), and pain. (wikipedia.org)

In this patient, use of contaminated aqueous solutions or inadequately rinsed surgical equipment ( 9 ) was unlikely the source of infection because further investigations indicated proper use of sterilized, nonreusable surgical equipment. (cdc.gov)
The presence of infection can further delay the process of healing, although surgical debridement of the necrotic tissue may improve healing conditions. (woundsource.com)
This second tier of infection prevention is used when patients have diseases that can spread through contact, droplet or airborne routes (e.g., skin contact, sneezing, coughing) and are always used in addition to Standard Precautions. (cdc.gov)

If a patient desires optimal aesthetic appearance with the best chance for function preservation, a staged forehead flap is the best option. (medscape.com)
Necrotic flap edges were recorded during the follow-up period for each patient, then excised and weighted in a blind manner. (druglib.com)
PPE that is appropriate for various types of patient interactions and effectively covers personal clothing and skin likely to be soiled with blood, saliva, or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) should be available. (cdc.gov)

Five days prior to flap elevation, vials of lyophilized BoTA were reconstituted in 10 mL of normal saline solution in a 100 international units' (IU) vial to a final concentration of 10 IU/mL. (hindawi.com)

This type of biopsy is most commonly done to help diagnose skin ulcers or diseases that involve the tissue below the skin, such as the fatty tissue. (medlineplus.gov)

3] The RFFF's popularity has stemmed from its superior soft tissue characteristics, which offer a large amount of thin, pliable skin that conforms well to the native contours of the recipient site. (medscape.com)

There are three types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. (medicinenet.com)

Although the RFFF is most commonly harvested as a fasciocutaneous flap, perforators to the radius allow it to be developed as an osteocutaneous flap. (medscape.com)
An area of your body where the surgeon harvests skin, muscle and fat to reconstruct your breast - commonly located in less exposed areas of the body such as the back, abdomen or buttocks. (millardplasticsurgery.com)
