Summary: Laparoscopic harvest method to obtain gastro-epiploic lymph node flaps for lymphedema treatment has been previously described. In this article, the technical details of an alternative method -open approach via mini-laparotomy incision- for harvesting gastro-epiploic lymph node flaps and preparation of the flaps for the inset is presented. A total of 17 patients were included in this series of the mini-laparotomy approach. Blood loss was minimal during the surgery. The average duration of...

The increasing popularity of web-based learning in plastic surgery over the last 5 years has been driven by convenience, cost, use of portable devices, and the rise of remote communication platforms (1, 2). The delivery of regional plastic surgery teaching programmes in the UK is variable (3), and the centralisation of services makes gaining experience in the entirety of the broad curriculum challenging (4). The Plastic Surgery Trainees Association (PLASTA) recognised the need for additional educational...

Dear Editor,

We read with great interest the article by Lo et al. on the use of Three-dimensional visualisation technology (3DVT) in anatomy education1. The authors highlighted the benefits of incorporating novel modalities in anatomical education, which traditionally has been delivered via 2-dimensional teaching and cadaveric dissections or prosections where available. The study focused on using real-time 3D models of the anterolateral thigh (ALT) for educating plastic surgery-naïve anatomy students on the complexities...

The Covid 19 epidemic has modified the way that plastic surgeons can treat their patients. At our hospital all elective surgery was canceled and only the more severe cases were admitted. The outpatient department activity has been reduced also. We present the number and diagnoses of patients, treated as in- and out-patients, during seven weeks from the onset of the epidemic, comparing our activity from the lockdown of elective surgery with the numbers and diagnoses observed during the same weeks...

Cleft lip/palate is among the most common congenital anomalies, requiring multidisciplinary care from birth to adulthood. The nasolaveolar molding (NAM) revolutionized the care provided to babies with a complete cleft, with proving its benefits to patients, parents, clinicians, and society.1 This therapeutic modality requires parents’ engagement with NAM care at home and continuous clinician-patient/parent encounters, commencing at the second week of life and finishing just before the lip repair.

COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus with increasing outbreaks occurring around the world.1,2 During the past 4 weeks, emergence of new cases has gradually decreased in China with the help of massive efforts from society and the government. In addition to those directly working in the respiratory, infectious, cardiology, nephrology, psychology, and ICU departments and COVID-19 patients, all members of the general population may encounter the new coronavirus. Medical staff in plastics, reconstructive,...

How many times have we heard these words in this time? Too many. The COVID-19 pandemic has completely disrupted our normal surgical and clinical routine. In these days, many colleagues of whatever specialty are regularly employed by their hospitals to face COVID-19 emergency in Italy, Europe and worldwide. We are not plastic surgeons anymore. Many of us feel lost, unprepared and inadequate for such an emergency. Here in Bergamo, the center of the Italian epidemic, we felt small and incompetent at...
