[Secondary cheiloplasty in the treatment of cleft lip and palates].

In the course of treatment of cleft lip and palates, the quality of primary cheilo-rhinoplasty is essential to limit aesthetic and functional complications. This is why these primary reconstructions come under the domain of specialised centres with multidisciplinary teams. Unfortunately, residual imperfections often remain, especially in bilateral clefts, and secondary cheiloplasties represent for us a complex challenge.

Coverage of radial forearm flap donor site with full thickness skin graft and Matriderm®: An alternative reliable solution?

Purpose: After harvesting a radial forearm flap (RFF) an optimal aesthetic and functional restitution of the donor site is required. In order to cover the secondary defect of the donor site, several solutions are currently available, but there is still no real evidence of the most reliable option. A retrospective study was conducted in order to evaluate a new technique of forearm coverage with artificial dermis: the association of full thickness skin graft (FTSG) with Matriderm®.

Reconstruction of an anterior chest wall radionecrosis defect by a contralateral latissimus dorsi flap: A case report.

Introduction: Soft tissue and bone radionecrosis are rare but serious complications may occur late after radiotherapy.

Case Report: We report the case of an 86-year-old woman with a history an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast, treated by total mastectomy, left axillary dissection and adjuvant radiotherapy. Eighteen years later, the first radionecrosis lesions appeared and grew progressively in a 6-month period.

Full-thickness skin grafts for lower leg defects coverage: Interest of postoperative immobilization.

Introduction: Full-thickness skin graft is an effective reconstruction method after excision of skin lesions on the lower limb that are not amenable to primary closure. The randomness of graft take is the major drawback of this procedure.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the outcome of full-thickness skin grafts (FTSG), used to repair lower leg defects after excision of skin lesions, after a 5-day immobilization period.

[Evaluation of green indocyanine interest compared to Technetium in sentinel lymph node detection in breast cancer].

Introduction: Axillary sentinel lymph node (SN) biopsy by using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence for breast cancer is a recent technique. However, compared to Technetium-99m (Tc), which is the reference technique, its efficiency has received little testing.

Materials And Methods: Between December 2013 and January 2014, 40 patients with node-negative breast cancer underwent SN biopsy by injecting sub areolar Tc in preoperative stage and injecting sub areolar ICG in intraoperative stage.
