Intralesional ultrasound-guided combined treatment with triamcinolone plus lincomycin in hidradenitis suppurativa: A pilot study.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, disease of the hair follicle. Intralesional corticosteroid treatment in HS patients has been reported, and while several data described this route of administration as an efficient delivery system, its efficacy is still debated. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical efficacy and the effect on quality of life (QoL) of an innovative intralesional treatment in HS patients.

Bipaddle chimaeric forehead flap: A new technique for simultaneous lining and cutaneous reconstruction in case of full thickness defects of the nose.

Introduction: Many techniques have been described to treat full thickness nasal defects. The authors introduce the bipaddle chimaeric forehead flap (BCFF), a new alternative technique to achieve simultaneous lining and cutaneous reconstruction in case of full thickness hemi-nasal defects, presenting surgical details and applications for its clinical use.

Patients And Methods: From June 2015 to April 2017, 10 patients presenting with oncological full thickness defects involving nasal sidewall and/or nasal ala were reconstructed with the BCFF technique.
