Osteocutaneous-flap-related osteomyelitis following mandibular reconstruction: a cohort study of an emerging and complex bone infection.

Osteocutaneous flap (OCF) mandible reconstruction is at high risk for surgical site infection. This study aimed to describe diagnosis, management, and outcome of OCF-related osteomyelitis. All patients managed at our institution for an OCF-related osteomyelitis following mandible reconstruction were included in a retrospective cohort study (2012-2019).

Posterior auricular artery helix root free flap-part II: clinical application.

The surgical repair of full-thickness defects involving the alae nasi is complex. Pedicle flaps such as frontal and nasolabial flaps can be used, but require several interventions with different techniques. In contrast, free flaps from the foot of the ear helix allow the three layers of the nasal wings to be reconstructed in a single operation.

Posterior auricular artery helix root free flap-part I: radio-anatomical study.

Full-thickness defects of the distal nose are an ongoing surgical challenge. Among the available techniques, pre-auricular chondrocutaneous free flaps based on the superficial temporal artery (STA) have good aesthetic and functional outcomes. However they often require autologous venous grafts.

A new approach of crenellated fronto-orbital advancement for the management of trigonocephaly: Technical note.

Trigonocephaly is a craniosynostosis characterized by a premature fusion of the metopic suture associating a characteristic triangular head shape, with a frontal medial crest and hypotelorism. Various techniques have been described for its surgical treatment which is usually performed during the first year of life. However, there might be cases with a late referral, after the age of one year.

Trans-oral versus cervico-facial lift approach for mandibular angle resection in facial feminization: A retrospective study.

Introduction: Mandibular angle resection is an important procedure in facial feminization surgery. Two different approaches are described: trans-oral and cervico-facial lift (CFL) approaches. The aim of the study was to compare surgical outcomes and patient's satisfaction between the two approaches.

Efficacy of Surgical Excision and Brachytherapy in the Treatment of Keloids: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of a protocol combining surgical excision and high-dose-rate brachytherapy for treatment of keloids.

Methods: The authors performed a unicentric retrospective cohort study between 2013 and 2018. The minimum follow-up was 12 months.

Bilateral radical neck dissection with immediate reconstruction of the internal jugular vein.

Head and neck surgery for advanced neck disease may require ablation of critical structures, including the internal jugular vein (IJV). Although unilateral ligation of the IJV is not commonly associated with a significant increase in morbidity, bilateral sacrifice of the internal venous system may cause severe complications. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a T4N2cM0 tumour of the left and right hypopharynx.

Mandibular angle resection using cervicofacial lifting surgical approach: Technical note.

Facial feminization surgery brings a set of surgical procedures that address the three thirds of the face and aims to give feminine characteristics to a masculine face. The characteristics of the lower third of a male face are a long, broad chin, a prominent mandible with sharp angles (in connection with the insertions of the masseter muscles). Mandibular angle reduction is an important procedure of the male-to-female transformation.
