Reconstruction of Head and Neck Defects Using Medial Sural Artery Perforator Free Flap.

Aim: To study the use of medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) free flap in head and neck reconstruction.

Material And Method: This was a prospective study. The patients with cancers of head and neck underwent excision of tumor along with neck dissection, and MSAP free flap was used for reconstruction.

Functional Reconstruction of Through and Through Cheek Defect with Free Composite Bi-pedalled Anterolateral Thigh Flap.

Unlabelled: Extensive composite defects involving the lip and cheek present difficult reconstructive challenges in view of functional recovery like oral competence, articulation, speech and mastication. This study presents our results of reconstructing through and through cheek defect with the use of free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps. All the patients with carcinoma of buccal mucosa and cheek who underwent through and through cheek resection and reconstructed with free composite pedalled anterolateral thigh flap between March 2019 to March 2020 were included in the study.

Reconstruction of Complex Oro-Mandibular Defect Using Free Fibula Flap and Lateral Sural Artery Flap: A Case Series.

Through and through complex oro-mandibular defect usually involves buccal mucosa, mandibular segment, lip, and outer cheek skin. Reconstruction of such extensive three-dimensional defects pose a great challenge to reconstructive surgeons which requires use of two flaps. There are diverse options for such types of defects like use two pedicled flaps, one free flap, one pedicled flap or use of two free flaps.

Complex Hemifacial Degloving Injury to Face: A Rare Case Report.

Abrasions and laceration of face are very common injury in a road traffic accident. Complex Hemi-facial Degloving injury of face is very rare injury in road traffic accident. Reconstruction of face and rehabilitation of patient poses a great challenge to treating surgeon.

Use of Free Anterolateral Thigh Flap in Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Defects in Orthopedic Oncology: What are the Outcomes?

Introduction: Soft tissue defects due to trauma with crush injuries and post-tumor excision are large in size. Free anterolateral flap provides a stable and durable coverage of soft tissue defects and leads to good functional outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2019, eight males and six female patients with soft tissue defects were operated upon using a free anterolateral thigh flaps.

"Repair and Flap technique": A Retrospective Analysis of Single Stage Reconstruction Method for Treatment of Chronic Open Achilles Tendon Defect with Proximal Turndown Flap and Reverse Sural Flap.

Background: Management of complex wounds of the lower extremity with concomitant Achilles tendon injury is a challenging situation for orthopaedic surgeons and plastic surgeons. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of chronic open defects of the Achilles tendon with composite tissue loss. We have performed single stage reconstruction using the central segment of the proximal part of the Achilles tendon as turn-down flap and was covered immediately with reverse sural flap.

Invasive Fungal Infection with in Immunocompetent Patient with Electrical Scalp Burn.

Invasive fungal infection in burn injury is caused by inoculation of fungal spore from patient skin, respiratory tract or from care giver. The risk factors for acquiring fungal infection in burns include age of burns, total burn size, full thickness burns, inhalational injury, prolonged hospital stay, late surgical excision, open dressing, central venous catheters, antibiotics, steroid treatment, long-term artificial ventilation, fungal wound colonization, hyperglycemic episodes and other immunosuppressive disorders. Invasive fungal infection with is rare opportunistic infection encountered in patient with burn injury.

A rare case of perforated tubular ileal duplication in 72-year-old male.

Enteric duplication is a rare anomaly, which is common in pediatric population, and it is very rare in adults. Enteric duplication can occur anywhere from mouth to anus. Ileal duplication is the most common (30 %) followed by duodenum, stomach, jejunum, colon and rectum.
