    Background: The inferior gluteal artery perforator (IGAP) flap is an alternative technique for autologous breast reconstruction. In contrast to other commonly used techniques, there is a paucity of literature on the safety and efficacy of the IGAP flap. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes and complications associated with the IGAP in autologous breast reconstructions to validate its safety. Methods: A systematic review of literature was performed following PRISMA guidelines. Articles reporting post-operative outcomes of IGAP flaps in autologous breast reconstruction were included. A proportional meta-analysis of post-operative complications was performed to obtain their proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria, which represented a total of 239 IGAP flaps in 181 patients The total flap loss rate was 3% (95% CI 0-8%), partial flap loss rate was 2% (95% CI 0-4%), haematoma rate was 3% (95% CI 0-7%), overall donor-site complication rate was 15% (95% CI 5-28%), overall recipient-site complication rate was 24% (95% CI 15-34%), and the overall complication rate was 40% (95% CI 23-58%). Conclusions: This meta-analysis provides comprehensive knowledge on the safety and efficacy of the IGAP flap in autologous breast reconstruction. It evidences the IGAP flap in autologous breast reconstruction's overall safety and validates its role as an effective option in breast reconstruction.</p

    The Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP): A unique opportunity for neurology across the globe.

    The World Health Assembly (WHA) approved the Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP) in 2022. This ambitious project, formally called the Intersectoral Global Action Plan for Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders, is a 10-year plan to enhance neurology implementation worldwide and to raise the status of brain health and neurology services for patients with neurological diseases. The IGAP has 5 important components: relation with policy makers, therapy, prophylaxis, research, and public health. The implementation of IGAP is a challenge, not only for the specialty of neurology but for the whole neurological community, encompassing patients, carers, healthcare providers, and the public. The lack of a unified definition of neurology and the great variety of health systems, as well as the dependency on socioeconomic status, will necessitate custom-made solutions in all regions
