    Comparison of Dorsal Intercostal Artery Perforator Propeller Flaps and Bilateral Rotation Flaps in Reconstruction of Myelomeningocele Defects.
    Turk Neurosurg 2018 Apr 9. Epub 2018 Apr 9.
    Mersin University Hospital, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Mersin, Turkey.
    Aim: Bilateral rotation flaps are considered the workhorse flaps in reconstruction of myelomeningocele defects. Since the introduction of perforator flaps in the field of reconstructive surgery, perforator flaps have been used increasingly in the reconstruction of various soft tissue defects all over the body because of their appreciated advantages. The aim of this study was to compare the complications and surgical outcomes between bilateral rotation flaps and dorsal intercostal artery perforator (DICAP) flaps in the soft tissue reconstruction of myelomeningocele defects.

    Repeated Use of Gluteal Fold Flaps for Post-Oncologic Vulvoperineal Reconstruction.
    Ann Plast Surg 2018 Apr 17. Epub 2018 Apr 17.
    Background And Aim: Because of the associated high recurrence rate, future reconstructive options should be reckoned with during surgical treatment of primary or recurrent (pre)malignant vulvoperineal lesions. One of the claimed advantages of the gluteal fold flap is the possibility of repeated use of the flap in case of recurrence. We present our experience with such reuse of gluteal fold flaps to illustrate this possibility. Read More

    [Contribution of the scrotal flap for the coverage of ischial and perineal pressure ulcers].
    Ann Chir Plast Esthet 2018 Apr 11. Epub 2018 Apr 11.
    Service de chirurgie plastique, reconstructrice et esthétique, centre hospitalier Saint-Joseph Saint-Luc, 20, quai Claude-Bernard, 69007 Lyon, France.
    Introduction: The ischiatric pressure sore is a common pathology in rehabilitated spinal cord injured people, despite careful prevention. Medical treatment by discharge and directed healing is not always sufficient and surgery using local musculocutaneous flaps is often essential. Unfortunately, recidivism is frequent and the availability of local flaps is limited. Read More

    Mixed facial reanimation technique to treat paralysis in medium-term cases.
    J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2018 May 14;46(5):868-874. Epub 2018 Mar 14.
    Maxillo-Facial Surgery Department. (Head: Professor C. Marchetti), Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Hospital, University of Bologna, via Albertoni 15, Bologna, Italy.
    Recent facial paralyses, in which fibrillations of the mimetic muscles are still detectable by electromyography (EMG), allow facial reanimation based on giving new neural stimuli to musculature. However, if more time has elapsed, mimetic muscles can undergo irreversible atrophy, and providing a new neural stimulus is simply not effective. In these cases function is provided by transferring free flaps into the face or transposing masticatory muscles to reinstitute major movements, such as eyelid closure and smiling. Read More

    Topology, Geometry, and Mechanics of Z-Plasty.
    Phys Rev Lett 2018 Feb;120(6):068101
    Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, 29 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA.
    Reconstructive surgeries often use topological manipulation of tissue to minimize postoperative scarring. The most common version of this, Z-plasty, involves modifying a straight line cut into a Z shape, followed by a rotational transposition of the resulting triangular pedicle flaps, and a final restitching of the wound. This locally reorients the anisotropic stress field and reduces the potential for scarring. Read More

    Cirugía Maxilofacial. Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Déu. Barcelona.
    Introduction: Isolated cleft lip is the mildest form of the cleft lip and palate spectrum; however those patients are often treated with the same surgical techniques that are used for the more severe cases (advancement-rotation flaps, quadrangular flaps). Meara's cheiloplasty technique may be a less aggressive option for lip repair in isolated cleft lip or whenever the gap between labial segments is not wide.
