In light of diverse practice patterns, FSE should be routinely offered to women with early-stage cervical cancer in a 1-step protocol. We equally devised a model to predict those patients at least risk of nodal disease, who may be spared of FSE.
Extensive defects in perineal reconstruction cannot be effectively reconstructed with only a single perforator flap or other conventional techniques. We present a combination of three different types of flaps including pedicled ALT-rectus-vastus lateralis, gracilis-PAP flap and two IGAP flaps as an alternative option for reconstructing a critically-sized perineal defect.
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.
