Utility of a Bilayered Banner Transposition Flap in Reconstruction of the Lower Third of the Pinna

Objective: To formulate a standardized procedure for repair of the nasal component of Tessier number 1 and 2 clefts. Patients and Methods: The procedure was performed from 1998 to 2007 in 13 patients with congenital nasal clefts of different degrees of expression corresponding to Tessier 1 and 2. The patients’ ages ranged from 3 months to 28 years. There were 10 male and three female patients. In the absence of any standard published technique for these rare defects, we devised our own method, which we find uniformly applicable to all such cases. We use a composite muco-chondro-cutaneous lateral alar flap to recreate the alar rim. The resulting defect on the lateral nasal wall is then covered with a transposition flap from the dorsum. An alar rim z-plasty was added in cases where notching was evident. Results: In all cases, no problem of flap viability was encountered and all healed well with minimal scarring. The postoperative results were satisfactory and have remained stable over an average 6-month follow-up period. Conclusions: We recommend this technique to be used for the correction of nasal deformity associated with Tessier clefts number 1 and 2. We feel that this technique is relatively simple and easily reproducible.

Reconstructive Technique

Postburn nailfold retraction often results in nail deformity and loss of distal interphalangeal joint flexion. A technique of reconstruction of the nailfold using a proximally based transposition flap is described in a patient with postburn nailfold retraction of the left thumb, index and middle fingers.

Scalp Defects

Background: Scalp reconstruction following high voltage electric burn can be challenging. A useful Reconstructive algorithm is lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate our experience and to identify an appropriate reconstructive strategy. Methodology: This was a prospective observational study, conducted in the Burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital & Department of Burn & Plastic Surgery,Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital over a period of five years. Reconstructive procedures, independent factors and outcomes were evaluated. A total of 7 procedures were performed in 30 patients. Techniques for reconstruction included skin grafting, outer table drilling & skin grafting, Bipedicle flap, Single rotation flap, Double opposing rotation flap, Transposition flap, Tissue expansion & primary closure. Conclusion: Important tenets for successful management of scalp defects are durable coverage, adequate debridement, preservation of blood supply, and proper wound drainage. Local scalp flaps with skin grafts remain the mainstay of reconstruction in most instances.

Melanoma Skin

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is one of the most common non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), along with basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Besides ultraviolet radiation, the role of exposure to industrial agents, ionizing radiation and areas of chronic inflammation is associated with the development of SCC. SCC may also be associated with foreign bodies. We report a rare case of cutaneous SCC in an elderly Kashmiri female, developing subsequent to subcutaneous non metallic foreign body, which was successfully excised with negative margins, and transposition flap closure.
