The microsurgical repair of sarcoma defects is a reliable option that, though not free of complications, is necessary in selected cases such as patients receiving neoadjuvant treatments and those with head and neck location and high-grade tumors. The procedure enables both adequate oncosurgical resection and function preservation. Our microsurgical sarcoma reconstruction data, based on an observation period of 12 years and presenting the results of 42 free tissue transfers in 41 patients, adds further evidence to the previously published smaller series.
La elefantiasis escrotal es una condición que ha sido historicamente descrita en áreas endémicas de filariasis, siendo menos frecuente su presentación idiopática o asociada a otras entidades. Presentamos un caso de elefantiasis escrotal gigante de causa adquirida al que se le practicó exéresis de estructura linfadematosa con reconstrucción con colgajo local y autoinjerto cutáneo. El caso clínico presentado es raro, ya sea por la baja frecuencia o por su etiología, así como por la importante magnitud del problema. Por esta razón hemos decidido presentarlo para dar a conocer posibilidades terapéuticas y realizar una revisión del tema.
Primary reconstructive surgery has a fundamental role in sarcoma treatment enabling radical surgical resection, avoiding amputations and facilitating adjuvant treatments.
The gastro-omental flap represents a useful method for reconstruction of the pharyngoesophageal segment in a surgical field compromised by previous multimodal therapy. Despite being useful, the complication rate is relevant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
