Single Incision Dual Cover with Temporoparietal Fascial Flap for Exposed Cochlear Implant: A Novel Take on a Workhorse Flap.

Cochlear implant surgeries have become increasingly common in India, leading to a rise in complications such as cochlear implant exposure. To address this issue, we present a novel technique involving a single incision dual cover using the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) and skin flap to give durable cover for exposed cochlear implants.  A retrospective study was conducted between December 2019 and December 2022 on patients who underwent the dual flap procedure for exposed cochlear implants.

Fourth Dimension in Reconstruction of Defects Following Excision of Basal Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck!

Background: Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common skin tumors of the face. Excision results in soft tissue defects that require reconstruction with the focus on form, function, and patient satisfaction.

Aim: To analyze the reconstruction of BCC excision defects of the head and neck region using local flaps and skin grafts with respect to the four dimensions of oncological reconstruction: clearance, form, function, and patient satisfaction.
