Repair of a Scalp Defect with Punctate Skull Fenestration and Skin Grafting

Reconstruction of a scalp and skull defect with free latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap following dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

A 53-year-old male underwent more than 10 surgical treatments over 14 years, including a simple excision and local flap transfer, after recurrences of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the head. Clinical results indicated that simple excision of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans should not be performed as initial treatment. Instead, free flap transplantation, which permits a wide excision and co...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

Multidisciplinary Treatment of a Fenestration-type Defect.

The case report aimed at treating a fenestration-type defect with multidisciplinary conventional and advanced surgical techniques. Fenestrations are isolated areas in which the exposed root surface is covered only by the periosteum and gingiva, but the remaining cortical bone remains intact. Root coverage is indicated in cases of root hypersensitivity, treatment of shallow caries lesions, cervi...

Recurrent Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberance and its Management with Radical Excision and Interval Skin Grafting: A Case Report

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is very rare tumor of dermis layer of skin with the incidence of only 1 case per million per year. DFSP rarely leads to a metastasis (Less than 5% have metastasis), but DFSP can recur locally. We publish a rare case of a recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and its management with radical excision and interval skin grafting. 

Repair of a large, exposed-cartilage nasal tip defect using nasalis-based subcutaneous pedicle flaps and full-thickness skin grafting.

Large full-thickness nasal tip defects after Mohs surgery present a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The interpolated paramedian forehead flap is the standard modality to repair such defects, especially when exposed cartilage is present. Despite providing an excellent cosmetic outcome, some patients are reluctant to undergo this procedure due to the associated temporary deformity, the p...
