Quantification of level I neck lymph nodes for lymph node transfer in lymphedema treatment: an anatomical study and review of literature

Computed tomography image of level I neck lymph nodes. The arrows point out the location of lymph nodes.

Boomerang latissimus dorsi flap in immediate or delayed breast reconstruction

Illustrations of boomerang LD flap in breast reconstruction. The flap is designed to ensure symmetry between the reconstructed breast and contralateral breast. The fullness of the upper pole that cannot be attained with the classic extended LD flap is attained by adding a vertical skin flap design when using the boomerang LD flap. Breast width = the length of transverse skin flap long axis (black arrow). Width at the half level from the upper pole = the length of vertical skin flap long axis (red arrow). Breast height = short axis length of transverse (green arrow) and vertical (blue arrow) skin flap + small amount LD muscle. LD, latissimus dorsi.

Malignancy risk in Bethesda class IV thyroid nodules in an iodine deficient region

Correlation between preoperative size and diagnosis of papillary and follicular carcinoma lymph node metastases. CI, confidence interval.

Catastrophic rhabdomyolysis following breast reconstruction operation using an abdominal flap: a case report

Serum biochemistry and pressure sore on the buttocks area. The patient’s condition improved starting on POD 3 of the ICU care and CRRT (blue red arrow). The patient was transferred to the general ward on POD 8. The changes and healing patterns of the sore wounds were examined throughout the postoperative period. LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; CRRT, continuous renal replacement therapy; ICU, intensive care unit; POD, postoperative day.
