Subcutaneous Endoscopy in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Scar visibility is a major deterrent to patients seeking reconstructive surgery. Endoscopic surgery can address a wide range of problems, from minimizing or concealing scars to improving access and outcomes in certain situations. This case series includes a wide range of reconstructive surgery problems addressed by subcutaneous endoscopic surgery.

Transaxillary endoscopic release of restricting bands in congenital muscular torticollis--a novel technique.

Congenital muscular torticollis is due to fibrosis of one or both the heads of sternocleidomastoid muscle. This may also involve the platysma, scalene muscles, and the carotid sheath and may be associated with cervical scoliosis. Conventional surgical procedures leave visible scars.

Myocutaneous v/s micro vascular free flaps in oral cavity reconstruction - a comparative study.

Unlabelled: Micro vascular free tissue transfer scores over the traditional myocutaneous flaps by providing better cosmesis and function. However, the increased operating tine and costs and the necessity for two operating teams sometimes, negate these advantages and even where this facility is freely available, myoentancous flaps continue to be widely used.To determine the ideal choice of reconstruction in patients after oral resection, we compared our experience with these two methods of reconstruction.
