In this case report, successful scalp reconstruction was achieved for a 67-year-old man using a super thin DIEP flap, a technique adapted from breast reconstruction that shows promise in head and neck surgeries for improving wound contour and skin coverage.

This study highlights the potential benefits and current limitations of robotic systems in nipple-sparing mastectomies, noting their promise in reducing surgeon fatigue but pointing out challenges such as longer operating times, high costs, and limited haptic feedback.

In this study using rat models, researchers found that subcutaneously implanted non-de-epithelialized flaps maintained persistent epidermal components, leading to potential complications, whereas de-epithelialized flaps showed gradual regression of remaining skin elements, lowering complication risks over time.

This study found that using PRP injections in skin flap reconstructions and combining acellular dermal matrix with split-thickness skin grafts improved healing and reduced complications in the surgical treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study reviewed literature on the use of robotic systems in plastic and reconstructive surgery, highlighting their application in various procedures despite the predominance of descriptive case reports and a lack of comparative clinical outcomes and long-term data.
