The cheek sliding flap

A cheek flap that slides on its own subcutaneous tissue is described. It is used to replace skin defects of the cheek created by tumor removal in elderly patients. The simplicity of the method and uniform quality of the results in 25 cases has led the author to prefer this flap to all more conventional local flaps. © 1974 Springer-Verlag.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

LE TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL DES EPITHELIOMAS DE LA FACE

Carcinomas of the skin are treated by excision, radiotherapy or curettage, with a cure rate of 85 to 95%. Recurrences are more difficult to cure, and any type of treatment for recurrence is followed by a new recurrence rate of 30 to 50%. Modern treatment of skin carcinomas is done in two immediately consecutive stages: a broad excision with frozen section to control the nature of the tumor and the margins of resection, followed by a reconstruction as perfect as possible. The best techniques of reconstruction use local sliding or rotation flaps in one operation. The refinement of modern techniques often avoids any disfigurement to the patient, if the lesion is treated early enough. When the skin loss is too large for local flap reconstruction, distant flaps are taken from the forehead, the neck or the upper trunk. These flaps, which leave variable sequelae, have completely replaced long distance flaps such as abdominal tubed flaps, because these flaps need too many migrations and cause too much disfigurement. Epitheses are reserved for extremely mutilating lesions or for patients too old to stand complex reconstructions.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

NEUROFIBROMATOSE DU SCALP ASSOCIEE A UNE APLASIE OSSEUSE OCCIPITALE

The authors report a case of an extensive neurofibromatosis of the scalp associated with a bone defect of the occipital bone, but with no intracranial extension of the tumor. They have found no previous reference in the literature to von Recklinghausen's disease associated with a bone defect of the cranial vault. The symptoms, the risk of malignant degeneration, and the surgical management of the disease are described and discussed.0SCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Reconstructive options after cancer surgery of the breast

Breast cancer is now treated either by conservative therapy or by mastectomy. In the first case, no reconstruction is usually necessary, although some patients require additional surgery for asymmetry, distortion or even severe damage, by surgery or radiotherapy, of the treated breast. In these cases, reconstructive surgery should be performed very carefully, taking full account of the risk of operating in irradiated tissues. Minor procedures are usually adequate, but major surgery, reconstruction with abdominal flap, is sometimes the only solution to solve difficult postradiotherapy disasters. When a mastectomy is the choice of the patient and the surgeon, immediate reconstruction is now performed more often than before, as expansive prostheses are now available, allowing immediate implantation without endangering the skin flaps. In most cases of mastectomy, however, reconstruction is performed as a secondary procedure, in two stages if possible (volume and symmetry after the first, areola after the second). Most of the reconstructions are done by simple implantation of a prosthesis. When local conditions require a flap, the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous has been the best choice for years, but the lower rectus flap is now taking over, as it gives the advantage of reconstructing a breast with autologous tissue.SCOPUS: sh.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
