Pre-shaped supraglottic airway devices offer an alternative to endotracheal intubation for airway management of postburn neck contracture: A case series.

Background And Aims: Moderate to severe postburn contractures (PBCs) of the neck lead to multiple areas of difficulty in airway management. Awake flexible fiberscope guided intubation with cuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) is considered the "gold standard" for securing the airway in these cases. Supraglottic airway devices (SADs), if at all used, are used either as rescue devices or as conduits for ETT.

Reconstruction of Medial Canthal Defects by Local/Loco-Regional Flaps.

Aim: To describe a series of medial canthal defect reconstruction by local/loco-regional flaps following excision of basal cell carcinoma.

Material And Methods: A series of 35 medial canthal defects following excision of basal cell carcinoma was reconstructed by local/loco-regional flaps. For smaller defects, glabellar lateral advancement flap or Limberg's flap from the nasolabial area were used to resurface the defects.

Versatility of Superficial Temporal Artery Pedicle for Postburn Facial Reconstruction: Our Center experience.

Objectives: Superficial temporal artery (STA) is the one of the terminal branches of external carotid artery. Superficial temporal artery divides into frontal and parietal terminal branches. Various types of locoregional flaps can be based on the STA as a pedicle to provide effective and robust cover.

Anthropometric analysis of linear parameters of the Indian nose: A cross-sectional study and comparison with literature.

Background: Many studies have been done to find out the accepted "ideal" appearance and proportions of the nose. However, much of this work has been limited to the facial architecture of the North American Caucasian population. Therefore, most beauty standards are driven by Western influences.

Assessment of Treatment Outcome of Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding in Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate and Its Postsurgical Stability.

Objective: To analyze the effects of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) in newborns with cleft lip and palate and evaluate its postsurgical stability at 1-year follow-up using a nasal stent.

Design: Prospective clinical trial.

Setting: Department of Orthodontics, Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences, Delhi.

Dental impression compound as an effective splint for maintenance of ear elevation in microtia reconstruction.

Ear projection is an important goal to be achieved after stage two (ear elevation) in cases of microtia. This is a retrospective study conducted on patients with microtia who underwent staged reconstruction for the same. This study has been carried out over a period of 10 years with 211 patients.

An algorithmic approach to management of whistle deformity.

Background: Various techniques have been described for the correction of whistle deformity, but no single technique can be used for all types of whistle deformities because the cause of deformity and tissues available for its correction may be different.

Method: Forty-seven cases of whistle deformity were divided in to 5 groups depending on its cause (deficient tissue) and the tissues available for its correction. Various techniques available for the correction of whistle deformity were analyzed.
