Radial forearm flap surgery—evaluation of donor site morbidity
discuss this article
Abstract The free radial forearm flap is an excellent method for reconstruction of defects in the head and neck region. In the literature,
there is still disagreement about the best surgical treatment of the forearm defect to avoid functional and cosmetic drawbacks.
There is a debate about using full-thickness skin graft or better split thickness skin graft. To evaluate our own results
after radial forearm flap surgery, a follow-up examination and standardized interview of 25 patients was performed. For closure
of the donor site, a full skin graft from the groin was used in 17 cases and split skin graft from...

Adult burn injuries due to domestic barbeques in new south wales.
discuss this article
CONCLUSIONS: In this series the number of admissions resulting from both wood fired and gas barbeques has increased. The cause of injury in open fires is associated with misuse of accelerants, whilst the cause of injury in gas barbeques is mainly due to delayed ignition of gas or incorrect use of the appliance. Distribution and severity of injuries are similar.

Management of synkinesis

Facial plast Surg 2008; 24: 242-249DOI: 10.1055/s-2008-1075840ABSTRACTFacial synkinesis is one of the most distressing consequences of facial paralysis. Synkinesis refers to the abnormal involuntary facial movement that occurs with voluntary movement of a different facial muscle group. The pathophysiologic basis of facial synkinesis is likely multifactorial although the predominant mechanism appears to be aberrant regeneration of facial nerve fibers to the facial muscle groups after facial nerve injury. Patients experience hypertonic contractures and synkinetic movements such as eye closure with volitional movement of the ...

The evaluation and treatment of upper eyelid paralysis

Facial plast Surg 2008; 24: 220-230DOI: 10.1055/s-2008-1075838ABSTRACTPatients with upper lid paralysis suffer from a loss of the blink reflex/response in the affected eye, leaving the eye vulnerable to a host of predatory insults. Partial or total impairment of the orbicularis oculi muscle, lagophthalmos, disruption of the lacrimal apparatus, upper lid retraction, and the unopposed pull of gravity on the surrounding paralyzed tissues all contribute to increased corneal exposure and an increased risk of exposure keratitis. Management of the upper lid in these patients must therefore focus on restoration of the effects of t...

Facial plast Surg 2008; 24: 204-210DOI: 10.1055/s-2008-1075835ABSTRACTDynamic muscle transfers offer the hope of improved facial support and symmetry, with volitional movement. These are most commonly employed for reanimation of the oral commissure to produce a smile. In addition, muscle transfers have been used successfully to reestablish eye closure. Facial paralysis of long-standing duration presents challenges quite distinct from paralysis that is managed early after onset. It is in this situation, most commonly, that dynamic muscle transfers are used. In this respect, the alternative is free tissue transfer. Each of t...

Free tissue transfer for the treatment of facial paralysis
discuss this article
Facial plast Surg 2008; 24: 194-203DOI: 10.1055/s-2008-1075834ABSTRACTLong-standing facial paralysis requires the introduction of viable, innervated dynamic muscle to restore facial movement. The options include regional muscle transfer and microvascular free tissue transfer. There are advantages and disadvantages of each. Briefly, the regional muscle transfer procedures are reliable and provide immediate return of movement. However, the movement is not of a spontaneous mimetic nature. Free tissue transfer, in contrast, offers the possibility of synchronous, mimetic movement. It does, however, require a prolonged healing t...

Although imperfect, primary repair is currently the best option to restore facial nerve function. Cable, or interposition, nerve grafting is an acceptable alternative when primary repair is not possible. Several donor nerves are at the surgeon's disposal. Great auricular, sural, or medial and lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerves are all easily obtained.
