Article Synopsis
- Anterior mandible defects impact support for essential functions like airway, feeding, and speech, which can result in complications for patients.
- In a study involving four patients with these deformities, reconstruction was achieved using a fibula osteocutaneous flap for the mandible and a soft tissue flap for the lip and neck, with all flaps successfully surviving.
- Post-surgery, patients transitioned from tube feeding to oral diets, tracheostomies were removed, drooling ceased, and speech improved significantly, demonstrated by a marked increase in the functional assessment score.

Comparison of efficacy and safety of intralesional triamcinolone and combination of triamcinolone with 5-fluorouracil in the treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars: Randomised control trial.
Burns
February 2019
Article Synopsis
- Keloids and hypertrophic scars are difficult to treat, with conventional methods often yielding unpredictable outcomes and complications.
- A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 patients to compare the effectiveness of intralesional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) against TAC alone.
- Results showed that the combination therapy significantly reduced scar height and had a lower recurrence rate compared to TAC alone, making it a safe and effective treatment option.
