Background: Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), which plays a substantial role in wound healing, has been discussed in many recent studies concerning its positive effect on scar formation. Our study explored the effects of SVF on scar formation from partially-removed transverse rec...
Background: Particulate matter (PM) is known to increase the risk of diseases in major organs and PM may also slow the complex process of wound healing. We investigated the effect of PM on wound healing in vivo.
Methods: Twelve 10-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were puncture...
Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) facilitates recovery of pressure injuries. This study aimed to investigate whether preoperative NPWT affected complications after musculocutaneous flap reconstruction of pressure injury wounds that required surgical treatment.

Background: Lateral malleolar defects are a commonly encountered clinical issue, with several treatment options available from local flaps to microsurgical reconstruction. However, ankle defects are difficult to manage, especially in patients with comorbidities. We report here o...
Background: Pocket hematoma is the most common complication after procedures involving cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Furthermore, pocket hematomas increase the risk of device infection. Unless severe, a pocket hematoma is usually managed conservatively because ...
