Surgical techniques for the webbed neck: a narrative review with a comparative study and surgical decision-making algorithm for an optimal aesthetic result.

Purpose: A webbed neck is a conspicuous deformity that requires meticulous repair. Several surgical techniques are available; however, there is no guideline, or gold standard technique reference based on webbed neck characteristics. This article aims to conduct a narrative review of the surgical techniques with a comparative study to select those leading to the best aesthetic results and to propose a decision-making algorithm for surgical techniques according to the characteristics of the webbed neck.

A reverse facial artery perforator flap for partial thickness defect at the lateral upper lip: Technical note.

The reliability of the facial artery perforator's flap allowing freestyle design flaps for facial reconstruction is promising for one-stage upper lip repair This article describes the coverage of a large defect of the lip with a paramodiolus flap based on a reverse flow of the facial artery perforator. This technique was performed on a 65-year-old man who presented with basal cell carcinoma of the upper lateral lip. Its excision has created a cutaneous defect that was repaired with a paramodiolus flap based on the facial artery perforator.

[Role of visceral obesity in metabolic disorders associated with hyperandrogenia in hirsute women].

The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between the importance of visceral fat measured by tomodensitometry and the metabolic disturbances in hirsute women. It is a prospective study where 52 women were explored for hirsutism. They underwent a clinical and biological examination, as well as an abdominal tomodensitometry at the 4th and 5th lumbar spine level to measure the area of visceral fat (VF) and sub-cutaneous fat (ScF).
