A complex intercanthal skin defect, created by resection of a squamous cell carcinoma localised in the nasal root of a 52-year-old man, was successfully reconstructed using three axial pattern advancement flaps raised from the nasal dorsum ...
Distally-based peroneus brevis muscle flap: a successful way of reconstructing lateral soft tissue defects of the ankle [0.03%]

E Antti Koski
Sixteen distally-based peroneus brevis muscle flaps were used to cover soft tissue defects in the lateral side of the ankle. The defect in 13 cases was on the lateral malleolus, in two on the lateral side of the calcaneus, and in one case i...
Technical refinements in the Washio tempororetroauricular flap in reconstruction of the nasal wing [0.03%]

Tor-Göran Henriksson
Retroauricular tissue for reconstruction of external nasal defects was described by Washio. We describe our recent experiences in elderly patients, in whom the risk of reconstruction after excision of a malignant growth is high. We present ...

We studied 73 repairs of cleft palate (48 cleft lip and palate and 25 isolated cleft palate) done during a 7-year period (January 1996-October 2002) by the same plastic reconstructive surgeon. Two-flap or four-flap palatoplasty techniques w...
Length of the cleft in relation to the incidence of hypodontia of the second premolar and to inheritance of cleft lip and palate in children with isolated cleft palate [0.03%]
Agneta Karsten,Margareta Larson,Ola Larson;Stockholm Cleft Palate Team et al.
Agneta Karsten et al.
We studied severity of the isolated cleft palate expressed as the length of the cleft in relation to hypodontia in the second premolar regions and known inheritance of any type of cleft lip and palate. The material consisted of 47 children ...
Intravelar veloplasty reinforced with palatopharyngeal muscle: a review of a 10-year consecutive series [0.03%]
Tor-Göran Henriksson,Malin Hakelius,Anna Andlin-Sobocka et al.
Tor-Göran Henriksson et al.
We describe a technique by which the intravelar veloplasty was reinforced by including the superior part of posterior pillars and their palatopharyngeal muscle sheet in patients with cleft lip and palate. Our aim was to increase the functio...

The effects of inhalational anaesthetic agents on survival of flaps are not well known. We investigated the effect of isoflurane and sevoflurane anaesthesia on survival of flaps using a caudally-based McFarlane skin flap in 20 male Wistar r...
Functional evaluation of regenerated and misrouted low threshold mechanoreceptors and polymodal nociceptors in the skin of rat hindfeet after crush lesions to the sciatic nerve [0.03%]
Thomas Hansson,Bo Povlsen
Thomas Hansson
Tracer studies on motor axons after nerve crush injuries have indicated that misrouting may occur even when the endoneurium is intact. Misrouting of regenerated polymodal nociceptive C-fibres and low threshold mechanoreceptive axons have be...
