Objective: To study a surgical and repairing method for defects after the resection of basal cell carcinoma of external nose.
Method: There are 26 cases of basal cell carcinoma that tumors have been resected completely after operation. For defect repairing in those 26 cases, 2 cases adopt direct suture method; 2 cases use skin graft repairing methods; 18 cases employ naselabial skin flap repairing method; 4 cases choose forehead pedicle skin flap repairing methods.
Result: the wound of all the 26 cases was primary healed. Additionally, skin flap and skin graft were all survived. Follow-up studied in patients 1 to 3 years after the surgery showed that the local scar was not obvious and no tumor recurred or transferred.
Conclusion: Different surgical and repairing methods are performed to obtain a satisfactory results based on the area of defect and its location in nose. Naselabial skin flap is especially an ideal method to repair defects.

: The lateral arm flap has been a very useful choice for the reconstruction of small to medium-sized defects, such as in the hands, extremities, and oral head and neck area. Its versatile characteristics and surgical feasibility allow this flap to be widely applied, but its reconstructive potential in the facial subunit after tumor ablation procedures has never been reported. In this study, we aimed to utilize the advantages of this flap to carry out facial temple subunit defect reconstruction.

: Pressure injuries are localized areas of tissue damage or necrosis that occur when pressure is applied to the skin for prolonged periods, often over bony prominences, often the sacrum, heels, ischial tuberosities, and greater trochanters. The pathophysiology is complex, involving a combination of mechanical forces, ischemia, and tissue hypoxia. : We conducted a 2-year retrospective study aiming to assess the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and management of pressure injuries in patients admitted to an emergency hospital who underwent a plastic surgery examination.

Reconstruction after the excision of a lower eyelid tumor should be focused on the restoration of both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Accurate identification and appropriate intervention are crucial for the favorable resolution of the condition. This technique used a nasolabial mucosal-myocutaneous propeller flap to reconstruct a huge full-thickness defection of right lower eyelid because of basal cell carcinoma.

Background: Although there is evidence that indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) can predict mastectomy skin flap necrosis during breast reconstruction, consensus on optimal protocol is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate various technical factors which can influence ICG fluorescence intensity and thus interpretation of angiograms.
Method: Single institution retrospective study (2015-2021) of immediate implant-based breast reconstructions postmastectomy using a standardized technique of ICGA, controlling for modifiable factors of ambient lighting, camera distance and ICG dose.

Background And Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the potential pathogenesis and present an implant retention procedure for patients with titanium mesh exposure after cranioplasty.
Methods: The clinical data were obtained from 26 consecutive cases with titanium mesh exposure who underwent surgical treatment between 2018 and 2023. These patients' medical records, scalp photographs, operative notes, and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.
