O to T Flap for Central Forehead Defect Reconstruction.

The reconstruction of central forehead defect is challenging because of the paucity of the adjacent extensible tissue and aesthetic importance of the area. Reconstruction of this region should be done keeping in mind brow symmetry and natural hairline. Camouflaging the final scar lines in wrinkles or hairline should be the final goal.

Pedicled Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap-an Effective Reconstructive Option for Extensive Buccal Cancer Resection in Resource Constrained and Salvage Settings.

Free flaps are the gold standard for reconstruction of extensive buccal cancer resections. However, salvage surgeries in previously operated and radiated necks, cost, increased operating time, and patient co-morbidities limit their routine use in high volume and resource-constrained settings. Pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap is the mainstay of reconstruction of large buccal defects.

Second Branchial Anomalies: A Study of 94 Cases.

Ninety-four patients with second branchial anomalies were retrospectively analysed at a tertiary care centre from January 2006 to September 2016 to determine the demographical data and management. Branchial sinus and fistula presented earlier as compared to branchial cyst. The mean age at presentation in case of branchial sinuses, fistulae and cysts was 5.

Primary Extracranial Meningioma as a very Rare Cause of Nasal Mass and Epistaxis in an Elderly.

Meningioma is known to be an intracranial pathology, but it can also present extracranially. We report a case of a 55-year-old female who presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) emergency with a complaint of epistaxis for 1 day. There was a 7-8years history of self-resolving intermittent epistaxis.

Angiomatous Hamartoma - A Rare Presentation.

Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma (EAH) is a benign rare skin neoplasm characterised histologically by abnormal proliferation of sweat glands and surrounding capillaries and other dermal elements like fatty lobules and hair. It usually presents at birth or in early childhood in the form of solitary nodules mostly affecting the extremities. Here, we report a case of angiomatous hamartoma over the face which presented as a cystic swelling in preauricular region in a 55-year-old man.

Tracheocutaneous Fistula Closure: Comparison of Rhomboid Flap Repair with Z Plasty Repair in a Case Series of 40 Patients.

Introduction: Tracheocutaneous fistula (TCF) is one of the recognized sequelae of a long-term tracheostomy resulting from mucocutaneous overgrowth which prevents closure of the artificial lumen at the site of tracheostomy. Primary closure of TCF has disappointing results and may lead to complications like pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema, and depressed scar.

Objective: To compare TCF repair using fistulectomy followed by rhomboid flap versus fistulectomy followed by Z plasty repair.
