Abstract Parotid duct injury is a rare complication of cutaneous surgery usually occurring after excision deep infiltrating tumours on the cheek. The existing literature limited to case reports. We present our experience two cases encountered in unit over last 15 years. Our first patient was an 87-year-old man referred for Mohs biopsy-confirmed morphoeic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) his right Dur...

A ccurate tissue orientation and precise mapping of tissue specimens are fundamental to the technique of Mohs micrographic surgery. The ideal method for tissuemappingwould allow for precise replication of both the surgical defect and the excised tissue specimens in a reliable, rapid and reproducible manner. The most commonly utilized mapping technique is a hand-drawn sketch of the tissue specim...

Preliminary researches were carried out to study the effects of particle size on the wear behavior of a-C coating. The used nanoparticles are W (W-NPs), which have similar bulk hardness with ZrO2 (W: 7.5, ZrO2: 6.5, Mohs scale), but contain larger particles with the diameter of submicron and micron scale (Figure S1). The tribo-tests were performed under the same conditions with the ones used fo...

The paramedian forehead flap is a great option for restoration of complex nasal defects. For full-thickness defects, it may be used alone or in combination with other methods. We present a patient with a basal cell carcinoma on the distal nose treated by Mohs micrographic surgery, and a resulting full-thickness defect repaired with paramedian forehead flap combined with a hinge flap. For optima...
