Management of pilonidal sinus with the Limberg flap.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the advantages of rhombic excision and Limberg flap closure in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease. METHODS: We treated 24 patients who had chronic pilonidal sinus disease with rhomboid excision and Limberg flap closure. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for a period of 27 months. Mean hospital stay was 4.1 days, and mean time until return to work was 17.5 days. There was no surgical wound infection. Complication rate was 12.5 percent. During the follow-up period, no recurrence was found. CONCLUSION: Because other treatment methods carry a significant failure rate, this technique is an effective alternative in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease.

Commissure-based buccal mucosal flap.

Commissure-based buccal mucosal flaps extending to the retromolar trigone have been used for anterior intraoral mucosal defects. The flap was utilized successfully in 26 patients who had vermilion defect (14 cases), obliteration of the anterior gingivobuccal sulcus (8 cases), and anterior maxillary defect (4 cases).

The mental V-Y island advancement flap in functional lower lip reconstruction.

Various flap procedures for the reconstruction of lower lip defects have been described to achieve the basic requirements of a functional repair, namely muscle function and sensation. Flaps elevated from the upper lip or the adjacent cheek may provide a solution, but for larger lower lip defects, preservation of function is difficult. In this article, a new functional lower lip reconstruction technique that includes the transfer of a myocutaneous flap based on the mental neurovascular bundle and on the branches of the facial artery is described. The principle of this reconstructive procedure is to advance the tissues from both sides of the chin as myocutaneous flaps upward to the lip defect, reorienting the muscles of the flap for sphincteric function, and preserving the mental nerve for sensation. The depressor anguli oris and remnants of the orbicularis muscle together with their motor nerve branches are included in the V-Y advancement flap.

Retroperitoneal malignant teratoma. A case report.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare in adults. These tumours may be benign or malignant and are composed of multiple tissues foreign to the part in which they arise. We report a malignant teratoma of retroperitoneal space. In searching the literature, we have been able to find 39 cases reported since 1937. Of the forty cases reported (including this case), only ten (25%) were malignant.
