Basal cell carcinomas are common facial malignancies with minimally invasive treatment approaches effective in the majority of cases. Recurrent aggressive lesions pose significant challenges and need wide local excision with major reconstruction. Geriatric patient with multiple comorbidities needs customized reconstructions to minimize morbidity.

Mammalian bites to the face challenges not only related to wound healing but also to aesthetic outcomes. This study aims to summarize 7 years of experience in treating mammalian bite wounds and propose a surgical approach for managing these wounds. From July 2016 to August 2023, 185 cases were treated and retrospectively evaluated.

Introduction: Frontal anterior laryngectomy with epiglottic reconstruction (Tucker's reconstructive surgery) is a technique of partial laryngectomy that has been used by several authors since its introduction in the 80s.The aim of this serie is to specify the indications of this operation and to present the functional and oncological outcomes of our study and those found in the literature.
Materials And Methods: We report a retrospective study of 65 cases who underwent Tucker's operation by many surgeons at our educational center over a period of 31 years (1988 - 2020).

Objective: This study aims to compare the postoperative thoracic deformity and scar aesthetic outcomes of auricular reconstruction between the conventional large-incision technique and small-incision technique with perichondrium preservation for costal cartilage harvesting.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 134 patients who underwent auricular reconstruction using tissue expanders and autologous costal cartilage harvested from the right chest wall between January 2021 and September 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to the harvesting technique: the traditional large-incision group (n = 64) and the small-incision group with perichondrium preservation (n = 70).

Despite being a major target of reconstructive surgery, development of the ear pinna remains poorly studied. Here we provide a cellular characterization of late gestational and postnatal ear pinna development in two rodents and investigate the role of BMP5 in expansion and differentiation of auricular elastic cartilage. We find that ear pinna development is largely conserved between Mus musculus and the highly regenerative Acomys dimidiatus.
