摘要:

Poor results in breast reconstruction can often be salvaged by turning to alternative techniques when the original treatment strategy has not produced optimum results. To do this, the surgeon must be willing to admit to aesthetic failures and correct them. If this is done honestly and vigorously, the multiplicity of methods presently available can allow us to turn many of our failures into successes. Five patients are presented to illustrate these principles and suggest some specific strategies for improving mediocre or poor results.

摘要:

The extended temporoparietal fascia flap is a logical variation of previously accepted extended free tissue transfers, which are unique in that the recipient and donor vessels are identical. This local scalp flap permits adequate distant ipsilateral skull coverage with minimal patient inconvenience. If desired, retrograde fascial perfusion from cephalad collaterals allows the completion of long interposition vein graft microanastomosis to the superficial temporal vessels before creating any recipient site defect without fear of flap warm ischemia time. Although the patient described had complications, the concept of the extended temporoparietal fascia flap has been proved to be an intriguing option for head and neck reconstruction.

摘要:

We describe here 2 patients with question mark ears in one family. They had the peculiar auricular deformities bilaterally. Both patients had a cleft between the helix and earlobe respectively. The upper portion of the auricle showed marked prominence. The mother also showed notching between the helix and earlobe. The literatnre is reviewed and discussed.

摘要:

The use of external devices for cranial suspension or immobilization may facilitate the transfer of skin grafts or flaps needed for scalp coverage. Skull tongs are readily available in any trauma center. Following composite tissue transfer to the skull, skull tongs can prevent compromise of the microanastomoses or the flap itself by eliminating pressure or shear forces that might otherwise jeopardize these reconstructive efforts.

摘要:

Split-thickness skin graft donor sites are often areas of significant morbidity in the elderly, in immunocompromised patients, and in steroid-dependent patients. We found that managing these donor sites with split-thickness skin and transparent dressings greatly increases the rate of healing and diminishes morbidity.
