Introduction: Free tissue transfers have become a mainstay in lower limb salvage, allowing safe and reliable reconstruction after trauma, tumor extirpation, and complex wounds. The optimal perioperative (PO) management of these flaps remains controversial. This study aims to assess the current state of practice among Canadian microsurgeons. Methods: Sixty-four Canadian microsurgeons were approached to complete an online questionnaire regarding their PO management of fasciocutaneous free flaps used for lower limb reconstruction. Trends in dangling timing and duration, use of venous couplers, compressive garments, thromboprophylaxis, and surgeons’ satisfaction with their protocol were assessed. Results: Twenty-eight surgeons responded. Fifty-seven percent did not have a specific mobilization protocol. Dangling was mainly initiated on postoperative days 5 to 6 (44%). The most common protocol duration was 5 to 6 days (43%). The concern for prolonged venous pooling was the main reason for delay of dangling (71%). Compressive garments were placed routinely by 12 surgeons (43%) with 20% starting before dangling, 46% with dangling, and 33% after dangling. Venous couplers were routinely used by 24 surgeons (85.7%). Trends in management were influenced by previous training in 53.6% of cases (vs evidence-based medicine 7.1%). Although 89.3% were satisfied with their approach, 92.8% would consider changing practice if higher-level evidence was available. Conclusions: The majority of Canadian microsurgeons initiate dangling early and utilize venous couplers. However, the use of compressive garments is limited. Trends in management are largely based on personal experience. Nearly all surgeons would consider changing their practice if higher-level evidence was available.

The free vascularized fibula flap has become the most common microvascular flap option for long bone and mandibular reconstruction following trauma and tumor extirpation. The free fibula flap can provide up to 26 cm of straight, cortical bone and has acceptable donor site morbidity. Published series have noted high rates of reconstructive success, with primary bony union rates of up to 80% and overall union of 97% following supplemental nonvascularized bone grafting. It is a true workhorse flap and one that all reconstructive plastic surgeons need to be familiar.

At this end of the millennium we witness an impressive increase in cancer frequency. According to WHO reports, cancer is the second cause of death, being overpriced by cardiovascular disease only. The oral cavity cancer is part of the ENT sphere malignant tumor group. It may appear at the level of any component structure: mobile tongue, mouth floor, retromolar trine (behind the last molar teeth in the lower arch), tough palate, internal cheek, lips, mouth vestibule or alveolar rebord. Salivary glands, although opening into the oral cavity, can not be included in this category, due to histological and enlargement features. Oral cancer is very easy to be noted because it causes a mouthstroke that does not heal over several weeks. This is the main symptom of the disease, but not the only one. Other signs are: whitish spots in the mouth, unexplained bleeding, difficulty in moving the jaw or chewing; hoarseness or considerable change in voice, loss of sensation or pain in the mouth, face or neck area, undue ear pain. The study includes 544 cases, and the statistical data collected over a 5-year period, 2013-2017, and: age, environment, sex, risk factors involved, location, tumor study and treatment are of interest. Combined therapy was reserved for patients with a low healing rate. The most common form of treatment was tumor removal within the limits of tumor safety, followed by another type of intervention: tumor extirpation and ganglion recording, whether or not associated with radiotherapy. An important role is also played by patients who come late, either due to a lack of health education or because of the fear of illness, or in most cases due to the oligosymptomatic character of the disease at the onset of onset.

Background: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is an important part of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) management but may even be useful for tumors that cannot be cleared in an office setting.  There are sparse reports of MMS for peripheral margin control in the dermatology literature but various techniques have been reported.Case 1: 58-year-old male with morpheaform basal cell carcinoma of the left midface treated with MMS peripheral margin control followed by facial plastic surgery central tumor extirpation and defect repair.Case 2: 56-year-old female with recurrent morpheaform BCC of the scalp treated with MMS peripheral margin control followed by facial plastic surgery central tumor extirpation and defect repair.Case 3: 73-year-old male with multiply recurrent SCC of the right lower extremity treated with MMS peripheral margin control followed by above the knee amputation.Conclusions:  MMS peripheral margin control followed by central tumor extirpation and defect reconstruction at a later date in the operating room is an option for deeply invasive, large and aggressive NMSC.  Benefits include decreased time under general anesthesia and superior rates of tumor clearance.  In the interim, the peripheral defect between the central tumor and healthy outer tissue can be sutured closed to decrease patient morbidity.

AbstractReconstruction of scalp defects is required for acute trauma, tumor extirpation, radiation necrosis, and the repair of traumatic alopecia or cosmetically displeasing scars. The proper choice of a reconstructive technique is affected by several factors—the size and location of the defect, the presence or absence of periosteum, the quality of surrounding scalp tissue, the presence or absence of hair, location of the hairline, and patient comorbidities.Cosmetic scalpreconstruction requires restoration and preservation of normal hair patterns and hair lines.The scalp vertex is an area of limited scalp mobility and requires extensive undermining and recruitment of tissue from the more mobile anterior, parietal, and occipital regions. The only 2 alternative for large defects (greater than 25 cm2 ) is large rotation-advancement flaps which require near complete scalp undermining.This article presents a case of Acute scalp Avulsion in the Vertex and the subsequent reconstruction using a large posteriorly based Rotation-Advancement Flap.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is associated with numerous craniofacial abnormalities but rarely with skull base tumor formation. We report an unusual and dramatic case of a symptomatic, mature skull base teratoma in an adult patient with KFS, with extension through the basisphenoid to obstruct the nasopharynx. This benign lesion was associated with midline palatal and cerebral defects, most notably pituitary and vertebrobasilar arteriolar duplications. A multidisciplinary workup and a complete endoscopic, transnasal surgical approach between otolaryngology and neurosurgery were undertaken. Out of concern for vascular control of the fibrofatty dense tumor stalk at the skull base and need for complete teratoma resection, we successfully employed a tissue resection tool with combined ultrasonic and bipolar diathermy to the tumor pedicle at the sphenoid/clivus junction. No CSF leak or major hemorrhage was noted using this endonasal approach, and no concerning postoperative sequelae were encountered. The patient continues to do well now 3 years after tumor extirpation, with resolution of all preoperative symptoms and absence of teratoma recurrence. KFS, teratoma biology, endocrine gland duplication, and the complex considerations required for successfully addressing this type of advanced skull base pathology are all reviewed herein.

Background: Dentigerous cyst is one of the most frequent types of odontogenic cyst that usually involving an impacted, supernumerary or ectopically erupted tooth. One of the non-dental sites for ectopiceruption is the maxillary sinus. The traditional approach under such circumstances is a Caldwell-Luc maxillotomy, but this type of procedure may result in significant long-term complications. Endoscopic transnasal medial maxillectomy (ETMM) has several advantages, such as good il lumination, as wellas clear and magnified visualization. The new modified endoscopic transnasal medial maxillectomy(METMM) can provide good visualization and more functional result by preserving the nasolacrimalduct and the inferior turbinate. Purpose: We present this case to introduce the METMM technique forextirpation of any tumor in the maxillary sinus. Case: One case of dentigerous cyst with an ectopicleft maxillary 3 molar tooth in a 27 year old woman who presented with sinusitis. Management:Surgery with a METMM technique to enucleate the cyst, combined with functional endoscopic sinussurgery (FESS) for the sinusitis. The patient then evaluated subjectively for epiphora and objectivelywith nasoendoscopic examination. Conclusion: In this case, METMM was effective in accessing themaxillary sinus allowing for tumor extirpation, while preserving the function of the inferior tubinate andnasolacrimal duct. Keywords : Dentigerous cyst, maxillary ectopic tooth eruption, transnasal medial maxillectomy ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Kista dentigerous merupakan salah satu jenis kista otontogenik yang paling sering ditemukan, biasanya berhubungan dengan gigi impaksi, supernumeri atau gigi yang tumbuhektopik. Salah satu tempat erupsi ektopik adalah sinus maksilaris. Pendekatan tradisional dalamkeadaan ini adalah operasi Caldwell-Luc, tetapi teknik operasi ini dapat mengakibatkan komplikasijangka panjang. Maksilektomi medial transnasal dengan endoskopi (MMTE) memiliki beberapakeunggulan, seperti visualisasi yang jelas dan diperbesar. Teknik maksilektomi medial transnasaldengan endoskopi yang dimodifikasi (MMTEM) dapat memberikan visualisasi yang baik dan hasillebih fungsional dengan mempertahankan duktus nasolakrimal dan konka inferior. Tujuan: makalahini diajukan untuk memperkenalkan teknik MMTEM untuk ekstrirpasi massa yang berada di dalamsinus maksila, karena teknik ini memberikan hasil yang lebih fungsional. Kasus: melaporkan satu kasuskista dentigerous dengan gigi molar 3 yang erupsi ektopik pada sinus maksila kiri pada wanita 27tahun. Penatalaksanaan: kasus ini ditatalaksana dengan teknik MMTEM untuk mengenukleasi kistadan BSEF untuk sinusitis. Pasien kemudian dievaluasi secara subjektif dengan anamnesis mengenaiadanya epifora dan objektif dengan pemeriksaan nasoendoskopi. Kesimpulan: MMTEM terbukti efektifuntuk ekstirpasi tumor yang berada di dalam sinus maksila, dan teknik ini juga memberikan hasil yanglebih fungsional dengan dipertahankannya konka inferior dan duktus nasolakrimal. Kata kunci : Kista dentigerous, erupsi gigi ektopik di maksila, transnasal maksilektomi medial
