Published: March 2001

The effect of dipyrone on the skin flap survival was studied in a model of an epigastric island flap with a random extension on the opposite side in 23 rats. Dipyrone was given intraperitoneally one hour before the skin flap was raised. At the end of the operation the depth of penetration of the fluorescein dye in the skin flap was assessed visually from photographic records and the flap survival area was measured by a grid method on the seventh postoperative day. There was a significant reduction in the amount of ischaemic necrosis of the skin flap after a single dose of dipyrone 50 mg/kg (p < 0.001). These data suggest that dipyrone is a useful agent in the prevention and treatment of ischaemia and necrosis of the skin flap.

Importance: Surgery is frequently required for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) treatment, but the impact of common comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, and smoking on outcomes has been sparsely studied.

Observations: A total of 12 studies met final inclusion criteria for investigating complication rates associated with at least 1 comorbidity. Complication rates were associated with obesity in 3 of 10 studies.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Precision Medicine in Medical, Surgical and Critical Care (Me.Pre.C.C.), University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.

Background: Scalp reconstruction is a challenging field for plastic surgeons. In case of large or complex defects, microsurgical-free flaps are usually required. Reconstructive failure can result in high morbidity and in some cases be life-threatening.

Expanded Uses of the Dorsal Nasal Flap: Redefining the Nasal Reconstruction Algorithm.

January 2025

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, MA.

Background: Defects of the nose present complex reconstructive challenges to the plastic surgeon. We present our experience with using the dorsal nasal flap (DNF) to provide a durable reconstruction even in sizable defects that would otherwise be considered necessitating a paramedian forehead flap.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent reconstruction by DNF following resection of skin cancers on the nose.

Management of pilonidal sinus and recurrences in 2025.

J Visc Surg

January 2025

Department of Digestive Surgery, Clinique de La Sauvegarde, avenue Ben-Gourion, 69009 Lyon, France.

Pilonidal sinus is a common pathology of the intergluteal cleft that can develop into abscess or suppuration. This lesion corresponds histologically to a granuloma that organizes around foreign bodies, most often hairs, and fistulizes to the skin through partially epithelialized orifices. If suppuration and abscess develop, treatment is based either on medical treatment combining analgesics, local antiseptics and sometimes antibiotics, or on emergency incision and drainage in the operating room.
