An anatomic study of deep inferior epigastric artery diameters at the origin from external iliac and at the lateral border of rectus abdominis muscle by computed tomographic angiography from autologous breast reconstruction patients.

Background: Autologous breast reconstruction by means of microsurgical abdominal flaps is an very well described technique. The flap harvest dissection under inguinal ligament would cause the risk of parietal weakening in this zone and postoperative bulging. The goal of our study is to investigate whether the deep inferior epigastric artery diameter remains constant from its exit of the external iliac artery to its entrance in the rectus muscle sheath.

The use of lipostructure to treat burn sequelae is more and more common today. The regeneration capacities of mesenchymal stem cells appear promising on this sequelae skin, which is poorly vascularized, retractile and often painful. The aim of our study is to establish the analgesic properties, and the functional and aesthetic improvements gained by using lipostructure to treat burn sequelae.

A retrospective study was conducted to assess the interactions between epileptic seizure and burn. The study was conducted on all patients treated at the Saint Luc Saint Joseph Hospital Burn Unit from 2000 to 2015 with a diagnosis of epilepsy. Forty-eight cases associating burns and epilepsy were reviewed.

[Long-term strategy of the initial management of facial burns: About 3 cases].

Introduction: The management of facial burns in their acute stage determines most of the sequelae aspect. An initial treatment of good quality should reduce and even prevent scar ransom and should not compromise potential future corrections. This treatment is based on the respect of facial surgery standards and on the use of some particular technical points.

At the end of 2013, we proposed the possibility of obtaining specialized burn advice 24/7 via pictures transmitted through a dedicated email address, to healthcare professionals. This simple tool is now a success, and we received one request for advice per day in 2015, resulting in an exchange of numerous emails. This simple process offers a number of benefits: it allows burn centres to regulate patient flows all year long, gives healthcare professionals access to a burn care specialist when and as quickly as they need, ensures each patient receives dedicated care, and allows national authorities to provide the best public health service and gain financial profits.

[Contribution of the scrotal flap for the coverage of ischial and perineal pressure ulcers].

Introduction: The ischiatric pressure sore is a common pathology in rehabilitated spinal cord injured people, despite careful prevention. Medical treatment by discharge and directed healing is not always sufficient and surgery using local musculocutaneous flaps is often essential. Unfortunately, recidivism is frequent and the availability of local flaps is limited.

[Reconstruction of proximal nasal defect after deep carcinological resection. Interest to combine titane mesh with fat grafting].

Introduction: The mucosal cylindroma or adenoid cystic carcinoma is the second sinonasal non-epithelial malignant tumor frequency argument. Due to the achievement of the nasal mucosa and a late diagnosis reconstructions are often complex. We report the case of a mucous cylindroma recurrence of nasal septum requiring a wide and deep excision of the root of the nose with nasal reconstruction.
