Brachioradialis tendon transfer and palmaris longus tendon graft for thumb avulsion: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Thumb replantation following complete traumatic avulsion requires complex techniques to restore function, especially in cases of avulsion at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP I) and avulsion of the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) at the musculotendinous junction. Possible treatments include direct tendon suture or tendon transfer, most commonly from the ring finger. To optimize function and avoid donor finger complications, we performed thumb replantation with flexion restoration using brachioradialis (BR) tendon transfer with palmaris longus (PL) tendon graft.

[Forehead burns].

Severe burns on the forehead are rare; well-conducted initial surgical treatment also limits the occurrence of sequelae. Therefore, indications for repairing the forehead arise from complex burns often extending to adjacent units. Repair techniques depend on the location and size of the lesions, associated nearby damage, and the patient's ability to withstand the burden of treatment.

[Increased risk of bleeding during abdominal dermolipectomies in men: Myth or reality?].

Introduction: Abdominoplasty is the most frequently performed procedure for the treatment of weight loss sequelaes. It carries risks of complications, especially in patients with multiple metabolic comorbidities. It is commonly accepted that the male population develops more postoperative complications, particularly haemorrhage, but there are very few studies showing this excessive morbidity.

[Complications Following Treatment for Excessive Axillary Sweating With Microwaves: A Case Report].

Excessive axillary sweating is a frequent reason for seeking consultation in aesthetic medicine. Botulic toxin therapies have been used for years for this condition. A microwave-based treatment (MiraDry) has been used in France since 2011.

[Diagnostic pitfall: Early arising, multiple and recurrent Marjolin's ulcer. About 8 patients (16 tumors) and literature review].

Introduction: Marjolin's ulcer (MU) is a large entity representing skin cancers resulting from the transformation of chronic wounds of a heterogeneous nature. Burn scars are the most at risk of degeneration, in particular because there are the sites of important skin tension. Atypical forms are not uncommon.

[Hetero-digital toe flap according to the « spare-part » concept taken from a duplicated toe for the treatment of a cutaneous flessum of an associated clinodactyly].

Introduction: The correction of cutaneous deficiency encountered in clinodactyly is an important aspect of its treatment. The use of the skin lining of an adjacent duplicated toe as a « spare-part » flap may be of interest in providing good quality tissue.

Clinical Case: We report the case of a child with complete duplication of the 5th toe associated with clinodactyly.

[Pollicization in the management of congenital hypoplasias and aplasias of the thumb, functional results, about 13 cases].

Introduction: Pollicization of the index finger as a treatment for aplasia and severe congenital thumb hypoplasia remains a demanding surgical procedure. In aplasias, it is generally well-accepted, less in hypoplasias. However, it is often the only solution to give back to the child the possibilities of a pollici-digital grip, guaranteeing an excellent function of the hand.

Abdominoplasty with simultaneous laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair: A practical approach to preserve the umbilical vascularization.

Background: Umbilical necrosis is a well-known complication of abdominoplasty, the risk of this complication can be increased when an associated umbilical hernia requires further dissection in peri-umbilical region, potentially leading to umbilical devascularisation. Multiple minimally invasive open techniques were described to avoid this problem. The combined approach of abdominoplasty with laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair is one promising solution to avoid devascularising the umbilicus.

[The advantages in using cyanoacrylate glue over skin staples as a method of skin graft fixation in the pediatric burns population].

Introduction: Local postoperative care and burn wound management can present with a certain degree of difficulty in the pediatric population. While the use of skin staples as a method of skin graft fixation is a well-known, rapid and simple method, their removal can be painful and may necessitate some sedation or even general anesthesia. We studied in this article the advantages and economic value of using the cyanoacrylate glue as a fixation method for skin grafts.
