Article Synopsis
- The helical free flap is a highly effective method for reconstructing the lower third of the nose, but traditionally suffers from a short pedicle length.
- The authors describe their experience using a long pedicle helical free flap based on the frontal branch of the superficial temporal vessels in five patients with various nasal defects.
- All flaps successfully survived, although one case experienced vein congestion which was treated successfully with a medical leech, demonstrating the flap's viability even for larger defects.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective plastic surgery is in treating giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) through various surgical techniques.
- A total of 20 patients with 44 lesions underwent procedures like serial excision, skin grafting, and tissue expansion, with outcomes assessed at 10 days and 6 months post-surgery.
- Results showed that serial excision had the best outcomes, with most patients reporting positive results from skin grafting and tissue expansion as well, confirming that plastic surgery is a viable treatment for GCMN.
