Anastomotic microvascular device has gained popularity in reconstructive microsurgery over the last two decades. A systematic literature search has been carried out in the use of the venous coupler device in microsurgery to assess its impact on patency rate in microsurgery.
Fat injection empirically started 100 year ago to correct contour deformities mainly on the face and breast. The German surgeon Eugene Hollaender (1867-1932) proposed a cocktail of human and ram fat, to avoid reabsorption. Nowadays, fat injection has evolved, and it ranks among the most popular procedures, for it provides the physician with a range of aesthetic and reconstructive clinical applications with regenerative effects on the surrounding tissues. New research from all over the world has demonstrated the role of adipose-derived stem cells, present in the adipose tissue, in the repair of damaged or missing tissues.
Abu Al-Qasim Khalaf ibn Abbas Al-Zahrawi (936–1013 CE, known to Europe as Albucasis) practised medicine and surgery in Córdova, the capital of Andalusia.

What had really caught journalists’ attention, however, was his claim to have disguised his wartime identity by undergoing surgery to his face.
The prestigious magazine Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery publish this article about an actual issue at the Services of Plastic Surgery. There is growing interest in the use of autologous fat grafting (AFG) for breast reconstruction. Concerns have been raised regarding its effectiveness and safety. The primary objective was to determine the oncological, clinical, aesthetic and functional, patient reported, process and radiological outcomes of AFG.
La canalización venosa central es el procedimiento invasivo más frecuentemente realizado en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos; solamente en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica se realizan cada año más de 5 millones de inserciones venosas profundas. Prácticamente se han utilizado casi todas las venas del organismo para la canalización de la vena cava. En el presente capítulo se describen las principales vías de acceso para la cateterización venosa incluyendo la disección venosa.
