Resection of benign lesions is a common cause of nasal defects in young patients. The conventional bilobed flap (Zitelli’s design) used for reconstruction of defects of the lower third of the nose traditionally utilizes skin from the mid dorsum and the sidewall of the nose.[1] However, the conspicuous scarring and loss of conformity in the cosmetic subunits of the nose might be unacceptable to ...

Segmental bone allografts are widely used in managing large cortical defects. To improve host-graft union, the effect of allograft on a tibial defect augmented with non-vascularized periosteal flap was studied. Twelve mature Australian white rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were divided into intervention groups and control group. Bone defects treated segmental wrapped flap. The group transplanta...

In this study, the structure of trailing edge vertical axis offshore wind turbine blade is modified. First, according to method parameterization, model established, and a series characteristics are obtained. Second, we add flaps with different lengths NACA0021 airfoil obtain dynamic characteristics. The angle additional Finally, simulation for modified reestablished, variable performance studie...

Learning Objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the history of nasal reconstruction and its implications to modern nasal repair. 2. Understand current developments in the use of intranasal lining flaps and primary cartilage grafts. 3. Understand the use of the two-stage and, specifically, the three-stage paramedian forehead flap with an interme...

Amputation of the fingertip is a common injury of the upper extremity. Over the years, a variety of reconstructive techniques have been described. For dorsal oblique and transverse amputations, the Atasoy V-Y advancement flap is a popular choice because it preserves finger length, sensation and function. However, closure under tension remains a problem, putting the flap at risk of partial or fu...

OBJECTIVES Various coronally repositioned flap (CRF) techniques have been proposed for coverage of gingival recession defects. Although CRF has several modifications all of them needs vertical or oblique external releasing incisions for treatment of localized gingival recession defects. The aim of present article was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modification of the new CRF procedure witho...

We report a 56-year-old Malay woman with a tumour that involved the skin and caused hyoid bone erosion. There was no clinical or radiological evidence of regional lymph node involvement. A modified radical neck dissection with preservation of the accessory nerve and internal jugular vein was performed, followed by an "extended" Sistrunk operation. The surgical defect was reconstructed with a pe...

We present the case of a 31-year-old woman with an inflammatory and ulcerative malignant phyllodes tumor in her right breast. A right modified radical mastectomy and transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap were performed. A month after the initial operation, several masses recurred at the superior margin and deep margin of the TRAM flap. Wide excision was performed, but masses recu...
