研究室紹介
Professor Jae-Ah Jung's research lab specializes in complex reconstructive surgery, with a focus on innovative flap techniques for managing severe soft tissue defects resulting from infections like Fournier’s gangrene and aggressive neoplasms such as Marjolin’s ulcers. The lab emphasizes microsurgical reconstruction using pedicled and chimeric flaps—particularly the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap—demonstrating advanced surgical strategies for wound coverage and functional restoration. Research also extends to rare and complex cases involving deep tissue invasion, such as bone and dura mater penetration, highlighting the lab’s expertise in managing high-risk, challenging reconstructive scenarios. The lab integrates clinical innovation with meticulous surgical planning to improve outcomes in patients with extensive tissue loss and complex pathologies.

2Reconstructing Fournier’s gangrene is particularly challenging because it rapidly leads to soft tissue necrosis that requires extensive debridement. This often results in a large soft tissue defect with dead space due to structural irregularity. We report two cases of Fournier’s gangrene successfully reconstructed using a pedicled anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with a chimeric pattern. A 61-year-old man with Fournier’s gangrene presented with extensive necrosis in the penoscrotal area. After rad
Marjolin’s ulcers are rare aggressive conditions that arise from chronic skin lesions and diseases. Various cell types may be observed in these lesions; however, squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type. Squamous cell carcinoma due to Marjolin’s ulcer has a greater tendency to metastasize than squamous cell carcinoma due to other causes. This condition occurs primarily on the lower extremities, although a few cases have been reported of it occurring on the scalp. Moreover, cases of penetr
