Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Surgical Oncology"
DOI: 10.1002/jso.26269
Abstract: We report, for the first time in the literature, a metastatic lymphatic pathway along the inferior epigastric vessels, through the inferior epigastric lymph nodes (IELNs), in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Interestingly, these lymph nodes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/micr.30403
Abstract: Large upper medial thigh defects in prior irradiated tissue require challenging reconstructions. Several techniques have been reported to reconstruct this region and according to the literature, pedicled perforator flaps are the first reconstructive option. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cps.2016.12.006
Abstract: Use of the retrograde limb of the internal mammary vein has been described previously as a lifeboat for venous congestion but not prophylactically. Maximizing the length of the deep inferior artery perforator (DIEP) flap pedicle,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1748645
Abstract: In lower abdominal flap representing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap or deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV) exists as superficial and independent venous system from deep system. The superficial… read more here.
