Acute pancreatitis is classically characterized by acute chemical inflammation of the pancreatic gland itself, peripancreatic tissues, and even remote organs. The newly revised Atlanta Classification 2012 redefined the patterns of pancreatic necrosis and local complications in acute pancreatitis.
Vascular complications of the unipedicled TRAM flap pointed out the need for solutions to decrease such occurrences. The flap surgical delay before transfer has been advocated to improve the blood supply but, at the same time, it increases the risk of wound infection at the donor site and imposes a
Of 114 patients who had TRAM flap breast reconstruction, 46 (40 percent) had preexisting abdominal surgical scars. Sixty-six free TRAM flaps and 9 pedicled TRAM flaps were performed in the 46 patients. The records were analyzed to determine what impact, if any, abdominal scars had on postoperative
BACKGROUND
The muscle-sparing free transverse rectus abdominis muscle (TRAM) flap is a reliable technique that provides great versatility, with potentially decreased donor-site morbidity. However, because of the inherent nature of microvascular techniques, it is still regarded as a time-consuming
BACKGROUND
Peripheral nerve palsies of the upper extremities presenting at birth can be distressing for families and care providers. It is therefore important to be able to identify patients whose diagnosis is compatible with full recovery so that their families can be reassured.

Preoperative selective embolization of the deep inferior epigastric arteries constitutes a new technique in TRAM flap delay. Whereas surgical ligation of these vessels has proved to be an effective delay procedure in experimental and clinical settings, it requires an additional operative step under
Panniculitides represent a heterogeneous group of inflammatory diseases involving subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is normally organized into adipose cells, adipocytes, and septa of connective tissue. The inflammation involving such tissues can be more represented in septa (septal panniculitis) or
Mesenteric panniculitis is an uncommon benign inflammatory condition of unknown etiology that involves the adipose tissue of the mesentery and for which an extremely varied terminology has been used, causing considerable confusion. It can be evaluated as a single disease with two pathological
When the free TRAM flap was introduced for breast reconstruction, it was supposed to have many advantages over the pedicled TRAM flap: good perfusion of all four zones, better mobility and easier shaping of the breast, lower incidence of abdominal-wall complications, and less restrictive selection
Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is primarily carried out to improve the patients' quality of life. The most commonly used autologous tissue for reconstruction is the transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM). The TRAM flap could be transferred either as pedicled or a free flap
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of different microvascular techniques in breast reconstruction with the analysis of postoperative complications. The additional goal of the study is to analyze the quality of life of patients after microvascular breast reconstruction in comparison to
BACKGROUND
Acinar cell carcinoma is a rare pancreatic malignant tumor, which can be associated with a particular manifestation: pancreatic panniculitis. It presents with erythematous subcutaneous nodules located mainly on the legs. The skin lesions can precede, be concurrent with or follow the
Presented is a new technique in preoperative conditioning of the pedicled TRAM-flap employing an interventional-radiologic procedure, selective embolization of the deep inferior epigastric artery (DIEA). During a four year period in 40 patients with a mean age of 48.4 (31-66) years breast
Cutaneous mucinosis secondary to autoimmune collagen vascular disease is well recognized, but manifestation as cellulitis-like massive cutaneous mucinosis preceding dermatomyositis is unusual. Here we report a 21-year-old Taiwanese woman with a large, rapid onset, painful erythematous, edematous
BACKGROUND
Numerous studies compare techniques for free flap breast reconstruction techniques, with no consensus regarding differences in complication rates. This study compared the risk of fat necrosis, partial flap loss, total flap loss, abdominal bulge, laxity, or weakness, and abdominal hernia
