The present work reviews a total lower-eyelid reconstruction technique that is currently not widely in use but which, in some cases, has proven to be of great utility in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery of the palpebral area. We performed an observational, longitudinal, descriptive and retrospective follow-up study. A total of 34 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in which the lower e...

Wide local excision of a lesion that encompasses several facial subunits including medial canthus, nasal sidewall, and cheek provides multiple aesthetic and reconstructive challenges to restore both orbital function as well as appearance. We report the first successful use of a chimeric upper eyelid--supraorbital flap to reconstruct a facial defect, secondary to a wide local excision of the low...

dHACM: dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane INTRODUCTION Mohs surgery and repair of lower eyelid surgical defects present unique reconstruction challenges because of risk for ectropion. There are several options to avoid this adverse outcome, but when a patient declines surgical repair, there are no alternatives aside from second-intention healing with or without adjunctive therapy. One pro...

Facial reconstruction is one of the most challenging problems faced by a reconstructive surgeon. We present a case of complex facial reconstruction with a composite trauma to the nose resulting in near total loss of skin and lining along with complete loss of left eyebrow with exposed frontal bone and partial loss of the left eyelid. We combined a temporoparietal fascial flap for reconstruction...

Aim objectives: The study aimed evaluate compare aesthetic result for residual fine wrinkles after transconjunctival alone or combined with post-operative fractional CO2 laser. Subjects methods: present was carried o...

Introduction: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of repair of the rectourethral and rectovaginal fistulas with transanal approach using the Latzko technique. Materials and Methods: We repaired 8 fistulas with transanal approach. Fistulas were rectourethral in 5 patients, and in the only woman of the series, they were rectovaginal and vesicovaginal. In 3 patients, The fistulas had been diagnos...

BACKGROUND Lower eyelid reconstruction after tumor removal is always challenging, and full-thickness defects beyond half of the eyelid length require a flap from a part other than the remaining lower eyelid, such as the temporal area or the cheek. OBJECTIVE We aimed to report our experience of applying Smith-modified Kuhnt-Szymanowski, one of the most popular procedures for paralytic ectropio...
