The results of healing of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap in 22 patients operated upon because of cancer of the tongue and floor of the mouth are presented. An inferiorly based island flap was used in 5 patients. Although total or partial cutaneous necrosis occurred in 4 of the patients, the wound healed without fistula formation in all cases. A superiorly based compound flap was used in 17 patients and in 5 of them the oral part of the skin underwent total or partial necrosis.

St Paul's Eye Unit, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Background: The post-operative evaluation of trabeculectomy blebs has traditionally relied on subjective clinical grading systems performed at the slit-lamp. This study explores the use of swept source anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to objectively measure bleb internal reflectivity and morphology, and to distinguish blebs with surgical success vs. failure.

Background: The 2021 ISAPS global survey shows a 49.6% rise in demand for breast implant explantation from 2017. The current challenge is to formulate a standardized technique of mastopexy after explantation, which counters the volume deficit and skin redundancy post removal of implant, giving aesthetically pleasing breast.

Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a severe infection of the perineum and genital regions, with high mortality rate. Treatment is medico-surgical and multidisciplinary, usually requiring extensive debridement of scrotal tissue and distant surgical reconstruction. Regarding scrotal reconstruction, numerous techniques have been described, however, to our knowledge, none has focused on testicular repositioning.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the surgical and oncological outcomes of robotic mastectomy (RM) and conventional mastectomy (CM) for breast cancer.
Methods: Our institutional registry of women with breast cancer who received RM between 2018 and 2023 and CM between 2016 and 2023 were reviewed. Propensity score matching of clinicopathological variables was used to match 123 RM patients with 123 CM patients.
Reconstruction of the Severe Cervical Scar Contracture Using a Combination of the Pre-expanded Bipedicled Forehead Flap and Lower Trapezius Musculocutaneous Flap.

Reconstructing severe cervical scar contractures (SCSC) remains a considerable challenge. This study presents a novel approach to SCSC reconstruction using a combination of pre-expanded bipedicled forehead and lower trapezius musculocutaneous flaps. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 25 patients who underwent this procedure between April 2004 and July 2020.
