Vascular pedicle twisting during a microsurgical anastomosis procedure can jeopardize the viability of the flap.

“…A study examining patient satisfaction and scar quality following upper blepharoplasty using a simplified preoperative marking technique developed by the authors (Dossan et al, 2023) is included, as well as a case study examining hand massage as a mechanism for relieving anxiety in preoperative patients (Rahmi et al, 2023). Alvedro-Ruiz et al (2023) provide an easy and effective method for avoiding intraoperative pedicle kinking, and Chang-Azancot et al ( 2023) report on a rare case of aplasia cutis congenita and the excellent results they obtained with conservative management of this condition. Finally, there is a very interesting article by Varga and Gross (2023) discussing oxidative stress status and its relationship to skin aging.…”
