Paraffinoma of the penis is rare and caused by paraffin liquid injection. This condition can cause significant penile deformity, ulceration, pain, and sexual dysfunction. However, it can be managed with surgical procedures to obtain normal aesthetic and functional results. Herein, we reported a 42-year-old male with penile paraffinoma who underwent excessive surgical excision of the fibrotic tissue and one-stage reconstruction using a spiral stitch full-thickness skin graft. At one year of follow-up it showed a good aesthetic outcome with no hypertrophic scars, skin contractures, penile curvature, or penile shortening. The sexual evaluation using the International Index of Erectile Function instrument also showed a good result with normal erectile function and satisfaction with sexual sensation. This case is interesting because we used the spiral stitch full-thickness skin graft technique to cover the degloving area and long-term follow-up to evaluate the aesthetic and functional results.

Objective: To investigate clinical staging systems and appropriate treatment strategies for external auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC).
Methods: We performed comparative analysis of the features of several staging schemes (Holt, Naim, Shin, Chang, Kaneda, Hn, and He) of EACC; retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 44 patients with primary EACC, and analyzed the prognosis.
Results: He's staging system (2019) was found to be particularly clear and practical.

This article presents particular occupational burn injuries resulting in a complex defect of the digits. Nine patients with exposed bone or tendon wounds on the digits were successfully treated using the pedicle adipofascial turnover flap overlaid with skin grafts. Electrical and high-temperature contact burns resulted in five and four severe cases, respectively.

Objective: To investigate the effect of self-made skin distractor in the treatment of limb skin defects.
Methods: From September 2018 to January 2020, 15 cases of limb skin defects (16 wounds) were treated with self-designed skin distractor, including 13 males and 2 females, with an average age of 42 years (range, 9-73 years). The smallest area of skin defect was 6 cm×3 cm, the largest was 32 cm ×7 cm, with an average of 72.

The Purpose: Evaluation of the short-term and long-term results of a phased correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in comparison with a one-stage total correction (TC) of the defect.
Materials And Methods: Two groups of patients with classical ToF were formed. Group 1 (n = 25; median age = 72 days) was initially represented by children with ToF with a more severe clinical status (median weight = 3.

Deep dermal and full-thickness burns often result in scar sequelae such as contractures, hypertrophy, pain and itching following split-thickness skin grafting. Dermal substitutes are currently employed alongside split-thickness skin grafting to enhance clinical outcomes, though their indications remain a subject of ongoing debate. This systematic review aims to clarify the indications for the application of dermal substitutes in burn patients, in both acute and reconstructive settings.
