Lasers in pediatric otolaryngology.

Extensive clinical experience and anecdotal evidence indicate that application of laser technology has improved the management of many congenital and acquired diseases of the head and neck in pediatric patients. The general principles of laser surgery, with respect to laser-tissue interaction, must be adhered to at all times to achieve the best surgical effect. Improperly used, the laser can damage normal tissue in the infant's or child's larynx, with devastating consequences.

Reconstruction of massive defects of the scalp, cranium, and dura after resection of scalp neoplasms.

Massive defects of the scalp, cranium, and dura can be covered with local rotation, transposition scalp flaps. Five cases of massive defects of up to 300 square centimeters resulting from resection of scalp neoplasms were reconstructed by this technique. Excellent cosmetic and functional results were obtained in all cases. Although the emphasis in the recent literature has been on free flap coverage of these massive defects, our series demonstrates that these extensive scalp defects can be reconstructed using large local scalp flap transposition.
