Background. Alar rim defects are mostly acquired, resulting from burns, traumas or tumor excision. Sometimes they can accompany craniofacial clefts. However, isolated congenital alar defects are extremely rare. Case report. We presented two cases of congenital isolated alar cleft. The defect was closed by the use of an advancement flap, the technique described by Denonvilliers. We achieved both symmetry and appropriate thickness of the nostrils. Skin color and texture of the alar rim were excellent, with scars not excessively visible. Conclusion. Denonvilliers' z-plasty technique by using advancement flap provides both functionally and aesthetically satisfying outcome in patients with congenital alar rim defects.

Microvascular replantation in not always feasible for distal finger amputations. Our work presents a case of 23-year-old woman who suffered an amputation of index finger at the level of nail base. She was disqualified from microvascular replantation, however, the cooperation with Replantation Service resulted in an uncommon method of treatment, which resulted in excellent functional and aesthetic outcome. Composite grafting for fingertip amputations is a unique procedure which enables preserving original tissue with its function. We consider composite grafting to be a valuable adjunct to the wide range of methods for treating distal finger amputiations.
