Buttock soft tissue defects can be encountered due to many causes and also have many treatment solutions. Usually, defects are common on one side of the buttocks and cutaneous skin flaps in place, local or regional used. The article analyzes a rather rare case with a soft tissue defect in the buttocks on both sides as a necrotic sequela after injecting fillers for cosmetic purposes. After treatment of necrotizing inflammation, the sequelae left behind is a concave scar and deformed buttock on both sides. The local fat flaps are not valuable in this case, while the free fat flap will face many risks of failure due to the use of 2 flaps on both sides, the post-operative care position is also very difficult, easy to cause tension, compress the vascular pedicles. This clinical case with the use of bilateral DIEP flaps, and the postoperative results in this case are analyzed and evaluated in the article.

Introduction: Major crush injury of elbow joint following trauma with extensive injury to skin & soft tissue, bone, tendon, nerves and vessels remains a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Purpose of this study is to nd out whether the size of the defect, type of ap used and the location of the soft tissue defect inuence the outcome of soft tissue reconstruction. Material and methods: A prospective study was performed in all patients with soft tissue defects around the elbow in need of ap cover at Ganga Medical Centre Coimbatore, Tamilnadu India from April 2014 to December 2015.Patients demographics, defect size, location, type of ap used, complications and long – term outcomes analysed. Patients Mayo elbow performance score and Likert scale score were recorded for analysis of functional and aesthetic outcome respectively. The Kruskal wallis test was used for statistical comparison. Results: Forty three aps were performed primarily for coverage in forty patients. Three patients required two primary aps for reconstruction. The aps used in our study included 14 local fasciocutaneous aps (32.5%); 20 pedicled aps both locoregional and distant (46.5%) and 9 2 2 Anterolateral thigh free aps (20.9%) The average defect size was 151 cm . For local fasciocutaneous ap the average defect size was 44.7cm , 2 2 2 2 2 (range, 4-120 cm ), distant pedicled ap was181 cm (range 24- 600 cm ) and for the ALT free ap was 252.2 cm (range 80-450 cm ). Conclusion: The defect size is the main determinant of the type of ap used and their outcomes.

Extensive soft tissue defects following trauma, burn or after cancer surgery need coverage by flaps. Sometimes surrounding tissues are not healthy enough or quantity is not favorable to provide adequate pedicle flaps. Microvascular free flap can provide healthy tissue of adequate amount from distant area for those difficult situations.15 microvascular free flaps were performed from October 2011 to February 2013. Radial forearm free flap was done in 8 and Latissimusdorsi (LD) flap in 7 cases. 10 flaps done in foot, ankle & lower leg region (radial forearm-5, LD-5) and 5 flaps were done in face and scalp region (radial forearm-4, LD-1).12 flaps healed uneventfully with good coverage of the defect. Average ischemia time was 135 min (range 100-240 min) and average anastomosis time was 75 min (average 60-100 min). 2 flaps failed. There was necrosis of the tip of 2 LD and cumbersome swelling of the flap was found in 2 cases of LD flaps.Large soft tissue defect of body where local or regional flaps are not feasible; can be easily covered with free flaps. Its capacity to cover huge soft tissue defect has neutralizes its technical demand. Though complications are still high in our hands; can be reduced performing more number of cases.

Extensive soft tissue defects present a dif!cult problem to the plastic surgeon as they are usually associated with exposed important structures such as vessels, nerves, tendons, joint cavity or bone. Reconstruction of soft tissue defects have a wide range of therapeutic options. We reconstructed soft tissue defect in many areas using free anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF). From Februari 2009 - 2010, 9 cases of soft tissue defects in the face, neck, leg and foot of various etiologic factors were admitted to the plastic and reconstructive surgery unit, Cipto Mangunkusumo general hospital. Trauma is the commonest cause of soft tissue defects of the lower extremity, followed by tumours. The cruris was the commonest site (4 cases, 44,4%). Flap success rate was 66,67 %. Failure was reported 1 cases in this study due to vein compromise. In our hospital, we are quite familiar with Anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) even though the case is limited. Anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) is used for reconstruction of various simple and complex soft tissue defects, for big and small defects with cavity (orbita).

Hand soft tissue defects are a common disease in surgical emergency, which seriously affects the limb function of patients and significantly reduces their quality of life. To effectively repair hand soft tissue defects, a difficult problem posed to surgeons, we report here the use of a chitosan-based nanocomposite hydrogel (CS-GEL-PDRN). In vitro experiments showed that the nanocomposite hydrogel could promote the proliferation of human embryonic fibroblasts M-22 and human vascular endothelial cells EC-304. In addition, the hydrogel had excellent blood compatibility. In the rabbit model of soft tissue defects, CS-GEL-PDRN effectively coordinated cytokine responses, accelerated wound healing and promoted tissue repair. Based on this, CS-GEL-PDRN is expected to play a clinical role in the repair of hand and other soft tissue defects in the future.

Objective To describe the characteristics of the perforator vessel in the peroneal artery of the lower leg and to explore the use of perforator pedicle propeller flaps to repair soft tissue defects in the lower leg, heel and foot. Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients with soft tissue defects of the distal lower leg, heel and foot who underwent surgery using peroneal perforator-based propeller flaps. The peroneal artery perforators were identified preoperatively by colour duplex Doppler ultrasound. The flap was designed based on the preoperatively-identified perforator location, with the posterior border of the fibula employed as an axis, and the perforator vessel as the pivot point of rotation. Patients were followed-up to determine the outcomes. Results The study analysed 36 patients (mean age, 39.7 years). The majority of the soft tissue defects were on the heel (20; 55.6%). The donor-site of the flap was closed in 11 patients by direct suturing and skin grafting was undertaken in 25 patients. Postoperative complications included venous congestion (nine patients), which was managed with delayed wound coverage and bleeding therapy. All wounds were eventually cured and the flaps were cosmetically acceptable. Conclusions The peroneal perforator pedicle propeller flap is an appropriate choice to repair soft tissue defects of the distal limbs.
