[Anatomic and functional plasty for unilateral complete cleft lip].

Objective: To explore methods for one-stage repairing of nose deformity and alveolar cleft, as well as primary unilateral complete cleft lip.

Methods: The nose deformity and alveolar cleft were repaired by Carstens' surgical methods, rhBMP-2 was used for correction of alveolar cleft.

Results: From 2004 to 2008, 45 cases of cleft lip were treated in the United States and followed up for 3-5 years.

[Application of modified reversed neurovascular flaps nourished by cutaneous nerve-superficial vein in lower extremity].

Objective: To investigate the application and therapeutic effect of modified neurovascular flaps nourished by sural nerve and small saphenous venous, or saphenous nerve and great saphenous venous.

Methods: According to the anatomy and recipient area, we made some modifications for the two neurovascular flaps. 1) The small and great saphenous venous were ligated or anastomosed with the venous in recipient area; 2) The flap was delayed for 8 - 14 days if the donor area was above the middle and upper one third of leg; 3) The sural nerve and its branch were anastomosed to the nerve in recipient site to restore the sense of flap; 4) the lower turning point could be designed just 3 cm above the point of internal and external malleolus; 5) Partial gastrocnemius or soleus muscle could be included in the flap if needed; 6) Reversed cross leg flap was considered if the adjacent flap in the affected side could not be used.
