OBJECTIVE To analyze and compare the postoperative adherence qualities between the subperiosteal layer approach and the subgaleal layer approach for brow elevation using a rabbit model. METHODS Twelve New Zealand white rabbits (weight, 3.1-3.5 kg) were evenly divided into 2 groups and underwent forehead flap elevation via subperiosteal or subgaleal dissection, depending on the group assignmen...

BACKGROUND surgical excision remains the best tool for management of skin tumors affecting nasal skin, however many surgical techniques have been used for reconstruction of the nasal defects caused by excisional surgery. The aim of this work is the evaluation of the feasibility and outcome of levator anguli oris muscle based flaps. METHODS Ninety patients of malignant nasal skin tumours were ...

A dog bite is the most common trauma among animal bites, and it has varying severity, from simple skin lacerations to defects in whole tissue layers. Considering aesthetic functional importance of nose, an appropriate reconstruction should be conducted for large full-thickness defects. Although this quite common, literature detailing surgical lacking, especially domestic journals. 45-year-old m...

The ReCell system (Avita Medical) is a cell culture product that allows the immediate processing of a small split-thickness skin biopsy to produce a complete population of cells including keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells and fibroblasts. This series is the first to highlight the reconstructive applications of ReCell following ablative skin cancer surgery. The ReCell system was utili...

Abstract The principles of nasal reconstruction include the need to reconstruct three tissue layers, restore entire skin aesthetical units, and, possibly, replacement with like tissues. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies were applied two total reconstructions in male patients who underwent rhinectomy for cancer. Three-dimensional (3D) data obtained f...
