Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, a lateralized parabolic multiplanar incision was defined. It was aimed to reduce necrosis in the nipple-areola complex (NAC) and, in the long run, to prevent the scar from pulling the areola laterally by maintaining healthy skin tissue between the scar and the areola and preserving the natural round appearance of the areola. Moreover, we purposed the scar not to be visible from the anterior view. METHODS The study included 243 patients who underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. The incision was made 4-5 cm away from the lateral border of the NAC. The incision was completed after passing the anterior axillary line by drawing a parabolic curve in superolateral axis. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 24.6 months, and the mean age of the patients was 42.3 years. Full-thickness necrosis of the NAC occurred in 3.6% of breasts. In long-term follow-ups, the incision scar measured an average length of 8.6 cm. None of the patients had lateral displacement of the NAC. The NAC preserved its round appearance, except for 12 breasts that had full-thickness NAC necrosis. Ten breasts had an unnatural breast appearance. CONCLUSION The lateralized parabolic multiplanar incision is an ideal incision model for nipple-sparing mastectomy, as it allows for the exposure and reconstruction of all breast quadrants. We maintain areolar circulation; there are no visible scars when viewed anteriorly. Furthermore, it prevents lateral displacement of the NAC, ensuring that the natural round form of the NAC is not distorted.

Abstract
Significance: Laser use has become part of the gold standard of treatment as an effective adjuvant in multimodal therapy for pathologic scarring caused by burns, trauma, acne, and surgery, as well as vascular anomalies. Understanding indications and applications for laser therapy is essential for physicians to improve patient outcomes. Recent Advances: Since the 1980s, the medical use of lasers has continuously evolved with improvements in technology. Novel lasers and fractionated technologies are currently being studied in the hopes to improve treatment efficacy, while reducing complications. Recent advancements include acne treatment with novel picosecond lasers, new hypertrophic scar therapies with simultaneous laser and intense pulsed light use, and novel systems such as lasers with intralesional optical fiber delivery devices. In addition, optimizing the timing of laser therapy and its use in multimodal treatments continue to advance the field of photothermolysis. Critical Issues: Selecting the correct laser for a given indication is the fundamental decision when choosing a laser balancing effective treatment with minimal complications. This article covers the principles of laser therapy, the preferred lasers used for the treatment of scarring and vascular anomalies, and discusses the current evidence behind these laser choices. Future Directions: To optimize laser therapy, larger randomized control trials and split scar studies are needed. Continued advancement through better randomized controlled studies will help to improve patient outcomes on a broader scale.

Abstract
In some cases, keratoacanthomas can be indistinguishable from squamous cell
carcinoma, making the gold standard treatment surgical excision with
histopathological evaluation. The surgical defects created on the back of the
hand can be challenging to repair. We describe the use of bilateral rotation
flap as an option in this area, and discuss the indications and
contraindications of some of the possible surgical techniques for reconstruction
of the dorsum of the hand.

Abstract
Burns and trauma cause superficial and deep soft tissue wounds that cannot heal to the preinjury state. Healing requires cell proliferation and differentiation into the injured tissue type, laying down extracellular matrix, often as collagens. Heterotopic ossification causes severe pain, nonhealing wounds, and restricted range of motion. Treatment includes radiation therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, bisphosphonates, and possibly surgical excision and prophylactic measures. Hypertrophic scars, nonosseous lesions caused by excessive collagen deposition, are often painful, functionally limiting, and aesthetically displeasing. Treatment includes CO2 laser application, steroid injections, and excision with skin grafting. This article reviews the management of these pathologic wounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few clinical retrospective studies have reported the risk factors of pedicled flap necrosis in hand soft tissue reconstruction. The aim of this study was to identify non-technical risk factors associated with pedicled flap perioperative necrosis in hand soft tissue reconstruction via a multivariate logistic regression analysis. METHODS For patients with hand soft tissue reconstruction, we carefully reviewed hospital records and identified 163 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The characteristics of these patients, flap transfer procedures and postoperative complications were recorded. Eleven predictors were identified. The correlations between pedicled flap necrosis and risk factors were analysed using a logistic regression model. RESULTS Of 163 skin flaps, 125 flaps survived completely without any complications. The pedicled flap necrosis rate in hands was 11.04%, which included partial flap necrosis (7.36%) and total flap necrosis (3.68%). Soft tissue defects in fingers were noted in 68.10% of all cases. The logistic regression analysis indicated that the soft tissue defect site (P = 0.046, odds ratio (OR) = 0.079, confidence interval (CI) (0.006, 0.959)), flap size (P = 0.020, OR = 1.024, CI (1.004, 1.045)) and postoperative wound infection (P < 0.001, OR = 17.407, CI (3.821, 79.303)) were statistically significant risk factors for pedicled flap necrosis of the hand. CONCLUSION Soft tissue defect site, flap size and postoperative wound infection were risk factors associated with pedicled flap necrosis in hand soft tissue defect reconstruction.

Abstract
Burn injury can result in hypertrophic scar formation that can lead to debilitating functional deficits and poor aesthetic outcomes. Although nonoperative modalities in the early phase of scar maturation are critical to minimize hypertrophic scar formation, surgical management is often indicated to restore hand function. The essential tenant of operative scar management is release of tension, which can often be achieved through local tissue rearrangement. Laser therapy has emerged as a central pillar of subsequent scar rehabilitation. These treatment tools provide an effective resource for the reconstructive surgeon to treat hypertrophic hand scars.

Abstract
A local flap consists of skin and subcutaneous tissue that is harvested from a site near a given defect while maintaining its intrinsic blood supply. Local skin flaps can be a used as a reliable source of soft tissue replacement that replaces like with like. Flaps are categorized based on composition, method of transfer, flap design, and blood supply, but flap circulation is considered the most critical factor for the flap survival. This article reviews the classification of local skin flaps of the hand and offers a practical reconstructive approach for several soft tissue defects of the hand and digits.
