ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the effectiveness of neurovascular staghorn flap for repairing defects in fingertips.@*METHODS@#Between August 2019 and October 2021, a total of 15 fingertips defects were repaired with neurovascular staghorn flap. There were 8 males and 7 females with an average age of 44 years (range, 28-65 years). The causes of injury included 8 cases of machine crush injury, 4 cases of heavy object crush injury, and 3 cases of cutting injury. There were 1 case of thumb, 5 cases of index finger, 6 cases of middle finger, 2 cases of ring finger, and 1 case of little finger. There were 12 cases in emergency, and 3 cases with finger tip necrosis after trauma suture. Bone and tendon exposed in all cases. The range of fingertip defect was 1.2 cm×0.8 cm to 1.8 cm×1.5 cm, and the range of skin flap was 2.0 cm×1.5 cm to 2.5 cm×2.0 cm. The donor site was sutured directly.@*RESULTS@#All flaps survived without infection or necrosis, and the incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 6-12 months, with an average of 10 months. At last follow-up, the appearance of the flap was satisfactory, the wear resistance was good, the color was similar to the skin of the finger pulp, and there was no swelling; the two-point discrimination of the flap was 3-5 mm. One patient had linear scar contracture on the palmar side with slight limitation of flexion and extension, which had little effect on the function; the other patients had no obvious scar contracture, good flexion and extension of the fingers, and no dysfunction. The finger function was evaluated according to the total range of motion (TAM) system of the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, and excellent results were obtained in 13 cases and good results in 2 cases.@*CONCLUSION@#The neurovascular staghorn flap is a simple and reliable method to repair fingertip defect. The flap has a good fit with the wound without wasting skin. The appearance and function of the finger are satisfactory after operation.

ABSTRACT

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a nonmelanocytic skin cancer that arises from basal cells, slow-growingtumors that almost never metastasize. Untreated BCCs have the potential to continue to grow anddestroy surrounding skin and nearby structures leading to physical deformity. The key to treatmentis to ensure that there is no more cancer left in the skin. Reconstruction with V-Y skin flaps can beperformed in several areas of the face. We reported a 62-year-old female patient with pigmentednodular BCC tumor on left cheek who was successfully treated with wide excision with V-Y skin flapunder bilevel surgical tumescent anesthesia.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To summarize 7 adjacent V-Y advanced perforator flaps for defects at donor sites leaving by six commonly-used flaps.@*Methods@#From May 2007 to Jan. 2014, 66 cases with hands and feet skin defects, tendon and bone exposure were treated with reverse island flap(15 cases), thumb dorsal artery island flaps (9 cases), dorsal metacarpal artery island flaps (9 cases), abdominal pedicle flaps (9 cases), free anterolateral thigh flaps (15 cases), sural nerve retrograde island flaps (9 cases). The defects at donor sites were covered by adjacent V-Y advanced perforator flaps, including dorsal metacarpal perforator flap, snuffbox perforator flap, dorsal carpal perforator flap, deep iliac circumflex artery musculocutaneous perforating branches flap, outer knee perforator flap, medial thigh perforator flap, proximal posterior tibial artery.@*Results@#All the six common flaps survived with average healing period of 15 days. Only one adjacent V-Y advanced outer knee perforator flap underwent partial necrosis at the proximal flap end which healed after dressing. All the other V-Y advanced flaps survived. The patients were followed up for 5-24 months (8 on average) with satisfactory flap texture and color both at reconstructed area and donor sites. The adjacent joints had normal movement function.@*Conclusions@#Adjacent V-Y advanced perforator flap is an important method for closure of defects at donor sites. It has the advantages of no sacrifice of main artery, satisfactory result and easy performance.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: In this study, we investigated whether there is a factor that can aid determi nation of the preferred technique by comparing the early and late results of two different surgical techniques for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. METHODS: The medical records of 176 patients in whom the Limberg flap (LF) or V-Y flap techniques were applied for reconstruction after the excision were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: The development rates of postoperative hematoma, wound separation, wound infection, and seroma were 2.8%, 5.1%, 5.6%, and 6.3%, respectively, while total flap necrosis was not observed in any patient. Return to daily activities was achieved after a mean of 17.1 days (13 to 21 days) days in the LF group and 32.7 days (18 to 47 days) in the V-Y flap group. During the average follow-up of 65 months (36 to 110 months), nine patients (5.1%) developed recurrent disease. There was no difference between the two groups with respect to early surgical complications (P = 0.286) or disease recurrence (P = 0.094), whereas the resumption of daily activities was longer in patients with a V-Y flap (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The early postoperative and long-term results of the LF and V-Y flap techniques for the treatment of pilonidal sinus were similar. Because the resumption of daily activities at work is achieved later in patients undergoing the V-Y flap compared with the LF technique, patients' employment (or position in working life) must be considered when determining the most appropriate surgical technique.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Cryptotia is a congenital deformity in which the upper third of the auricle is buried under the temporal skin. It is rare in Caucasians, yet it is more common in Asians. Although a variety of methods to treat cryptotia have been introduced, there is still no acceptable single procedure that can successfully manage this deformity in its entity. We present a triangular V-Y advancement flap and rhomboid flap for correcting cryptotia that can overcome the diverse shortcomings of the conventional methods. METHODS: This operative method was used to correct 18 auricles in patients ranging in age from 4 to 33 years. A triangular flap was prepared over the auricle by making a skin incision according to Ohmori's method. Then a rhomboid flap with a side length of about 8 to 10 mm that sets the lower portion as a pedicle in the anterior region was prepared to supplement the contracted portion of the helix. The cartilage deformity was corrected by the banner flap or the radiating cartilage incisions with cartilage graft or high density polyethylene graft. RESULTS: We have treated 16 patients with severe cryptotia using this method and have obtained good aesthetic results. All cases showed widened scaphoid fossa and smooth triangular fossa of antihelix. There were no major postoperative complications, such as necrosis or infection of the flaps. CONCLUSION: Correction of cryptotia using the triangular V-Y advancement flap and rhomboid flap is useful a method for certain conditions, when a severe contraction of the helix is present.

ABSTRACT

Os autores relatam um caso e objetivam a discussão sobre a Doença de Bowen. Patologia de ocorrência rara, principalmente na região perianal. Trata-se de um carcinoma escamoso in situ com potencial invasor. Apresenta como característica marcante alterações histopatológicas da epiderme que não ultrapassam a membrana basal. É doença de evolução lenta, oligo ou assintomática e de aspecto macroscópico variável. Assim sendo, muitas vezes o diagnóstico é retardado. A confirmação diagnóstica se dá por biópsia e estudo histopatológico. O tratamento de escolha, por seus menores índices de recidiva, é a ressecção cirúrgica com margens amplas. A utilização de enxertos ou retalhos é frequentemente necessária para corrigir o defeito cutâneo deixado e permitir a cicatrização satisfatória.


The authors report a case and aimed at discussing about Bowen's disease, an unusual pathology, especially in perianal area. It is an in situ carcinoma with invasive potential. Epidermal's histological abnormalities with basal membrane preservation is its main characteristic. This disease presents a slow progression, few or no specific symptoms and variable macroscopic aspect. These facts lead in several times to a late diagnosis. Biopsies and histopathological study confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of choice is wide surgical resection. Often it is necessary to utilize grafts or flaps to correct the cutaneous defects and allows a satisfactory cicatrization.
