- - The study analyzed postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) delivery in head and neck cancer patients who underwent free flap reconstruction to assess delays and their impact on treatment outcomes.
- - Out of 87 patients, 32 received PORT within six weeks of surgery, with delays categorized as surgery-derived, system-derived, or patient-derived; only a small percentage experienced delays due to surgical complications.
- - The findings suggest that complications from the free flap surgeries do not significantly hinder the timely delivery of PORT in these patients.

In an attempt to avoid complications, Elliot et al described the use of an ulnar-based flap to obtain direct closure. Where it was not possible to close the proximal defect using V-Y closure, the use of a split skin graft was recommended.

Objective: To ascertain the prevalence of 22q11 deletion in children with a diagnosis of cleft lip and/or palate that had been referred to the Cleft Lip & Palate Service, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Design: Retrospective analysis of results of 22q11 FISH testing performed in all such referrals.
Participants: 191 children, of whom 13 had a bilateral cleft lip and palate, two had a median cleft, 77 had a cleft palate only, 44 had a unilateral cleft lip, 47 had a unilateral cleft lip and palate and eight had a submucous cleft palate.
