Background Free tissue transfer is considered the gold standard option for the reconstruction of distal leg defects. Free tissue transfer using recipient vessels in the contralateral leg (cross-leg bridge) is a potential option to supply the flap if there are no suitable recipient vessels in the injured leg. Most studies have described this techniq...

Background Distal lower limb reconstruction is one of the most difficult and challenging tasks in plastic surgery. Despite the continuous advances in microsurgical techniques, pedicled cross-leg flaps still have a major role particularly in pediatric patients. Many techniques have been described to maximize the potential of the cross-leg flaps. Th...

Introduction: Saethre-Chotzen syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by craniofacial and limb anomalies, with craniosynostosis (mainly coronal) being the most frequent craniofacial finding. Cranial and facial deformities can be extremely variable requiring individualization of treatment strategies. We present our case series to highlight cl...

In poor communities, patients may suffer from health problems requiring special management that cannot be provided locally because of lack of equipment and/or expertise. Children with craniofacial anomalies represent one of these challenging problems. Visiting medical missionary teams have attempted to address these issues for a long time. This art...

Soft-tissue injuries of the hand and wrist regions are quiet common casualty. Flap coverage is often required to achieve primary wound closure and to achievea good functional result. The use of the reversed flow radial forearm fasciocutaneous flap in the reconstruction of the hand and wrist soft tissue defectshas been described by many authors to b...

Background: Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital anomaly in the head and neck region. These clefts are not just a distortion of the normal appearance, but they may impose a major influence on the whole patient's life, both functionally and psychologically. Clefts affect feeding, teething, hearing, speech, and social communication. Th...

Background: Pressure sores are localized injury to the skin and/or the underlying tissue usually over bony prominences. Pressure sores affect significantly the patients' life especially those with limited mobility, 70 % of sores occur in persons older than 65 years. There is an inverse relationship exists between the amount of pressure and the leng...

Background: Foot trauma may have a major influence on life style in the form of chronic pain, ulcers and diminished function. These potential complications can be minimized by appropriate management of foot soft tissue injuries. Proper wound debridement and meticulous hemostasis are essential. The ultimate goal of reconstruction is to close the wou...

Background: Acute injury to extremities is a common surgical challenge. Road traffic accidents (RTA) are the most common etiology and are usually associated with soft tissue injuries and fracture patterns. Other injuries include gunshots, firework and burns. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as vacuum-assisted closure (VAC), has r...

Background: Oral and oropharyngeal cancers have a profound impact on the quality of life of patients and their families. Even with reconstructive procedures, the patient’s quality of life can be significantly altered by these functional problems. Although the primary intended outcome of head and neck cancer surgery is still the disease-free surviva...

The nose has a robust blood supply derived from both internal and external carotid arteries.

Thirty patients suffering from peripheral nerve injuries in the upper limb have been managed by secondary nerve repair. Clinical assessment was the same in all cases as well as surgical exploration and preparation of both ends of the injured nerves. Before coaptation of both ends, cases were divided randomly into two groups. Group 1: Fifteen patien...

Small lower jaw may be a reason of upper respiratory obstruction in neonates. Neonatal upper airway obstruction is a life threatening condition often requiring urgent interference. Typically, the treating neonatologist first stabilizes the patient’s airway via intubation, a nasal airway or proper patient positioning. Although the tracheostomy is a...
