Oncoplastic Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Analysis.

Background: Oncoplastic lower eyelid reconstruction is a challenging task due to the complicated structure of the eyelid and requirement of high operative accuracy. Poorly treated defects result in ectropion and ptosis which may lead to keratitis and corneal ulceration. Previous related studies do not include a detailed comparison of the common reconstructive methods of the lower eyelid in terms of results and complication rates.

The Rapid Development of Squamous Cell Carcinoma on the Nasal Dorsum of a Patient Receiving Immunosuppressive Therapy.

The risk of cancer is significantly increased in patients undergoing renal transplant surgery than in the general population. In particular, skin cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in these patients.A 34-year-old man underwent living renal transplantation for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Application of Kuhnt-Szymanowski Procedure to Lower Eyelid Margin Defect after Tumor Resection.

Background: Lower eyelid reconstruction after tumor removal is always challenging, and full-thickness defects beyond half of the eyelid length require a flap from a part other than the remaining lower eyelid, such as the temporal area or the cheek.

Objective: We aimed to report our experience of applying Smith-modified Kuhnt-Szymanowski, one of the most popular procedures for paralytic ectropion, for reconstructing oblong full-thickness lower eyelid margin defect.

Materials And Methods: We performed Smith-modified Kuhnt-Szymanowski on 5 cases of oblong full-thickness lower eyelid margin defect after skin cancer removal.

Conservative Treatment of Large Aplasia Cutis Congenita of the Scalp With Bone Defect With Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Application.

The object of this report is to share our experience of conservative management of giant aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) of the scalp with the topical application of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Complete epithelialization of the 9 × 8 cm sized defect was achieved in 33 weeks. Careful conservative management could eliminate the requirement of surgery for giant ACC defects of the scalp with bone defects and should be tried if surgery is thought to be risky or has consecutive morbidity.

A preclinical study testing "Focused multiple laser beams," a new concept of irradiation with the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser for skin rejuvenation.

Introduction: In order to avoid epidermal heat damage, we developed a novel irradiation method termed "Focused multiple laser beams (FMLB)," which allows long-pulse neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser beams to be irradiated from several directions in a concentric fashion followed by focusing into the dermis without epidermal damage. This study aimed to assess whether FMLB achieves the desired dermal improvement without epidermal damage.

Materials And Methods: The dorsal skin of New Zealand White rabbits was irradiated with FMLB.

Microvascular Reconstruction of Free Jejunal Graft in Larynx-preserving Esophagectomy for Cervical Esophageal Carcinoma.

Background: Losing the ability to speak severely affects the quality of life, and patients who have undergone laryngectomy tend to become depressed, which may lead to social withdrawal. Recently, with advancements in chemoradiotherapy and with alternative perspectives on postoperative quality of life, larynx preservation has been pursued; however, the selection of candidates and the optimal reconstructive procedure remain controversial. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed our experience with free jejunal graft for larynx-preserving cervical esophagectomy (LPCE), focusing on microvascular reconstruction.

The availability of perifascial areolar tissue graft for deep cutaneous ulcer coverage.

Soft tissue defects or skin ulcers associated with tendon or bone exposure located distally on the extremities are always difficult to treat. The introduction of the vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) and dermal templates has led to major changes in ulcer treatment strategies. However, it is necessary to find an alternative method to treat these defects when VAC is not available.

Conjunctival Squamous Cell Carcinoma due to Long-term Placement of Ocular Prosthesis.

Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from an anophthalmic socket is quite rare, with few reports in the English literature. A 59-year-old man who had used an ocular prosthesis for 40 years had not removed the ocular prosthesis at all during the last 5 years. He had developed a mass on his entire right upper eyelid, and biopsy revealed a moderately differentiated SCC.

Cylinder syringe suction: a simple and efficient technique for the evacuation of subcutaneous hematoma.

Background: Subcutaneous hematoma is commonly caused by trauma or surgery. Proper treatment of the condition is needed to avoid severe complications. The present paper introduces a simple technique of hematoma evacuation, called cylinder syringe suction (CSS).

The medial plantar flap vascularized by the reverse flow lateral plantar artery: a novel variation through the case of aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma of the sole.

Aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma (ADPA) is a rare neoplasm of eccrine sweat gland origin that typically presents as a mass on the distal extremities. It is associated with high rates of local recurrence and distal metastasis. Presented here is the case of a 61-year-old male who developed ADPA on his distal sole just above the head of the first metatarsal bone.

Multiple rheumatoid bursal cysts that were finally effectively treated by combining surgical resection and sclerotherapy.

A 71-year-old male who had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 3 years previously developed multiple subcutaneous cysts on his buttock, elbow, knee, hand and back. The diameters of the cysts were 10-15 cm. The characteristic fluid and pathology of the cysts led to the diagnosis of multiple rheumatoid bursal cyst (MRBC).
