Resurfacing problems in the hand.

Some of the many acceptable methods of achieving primary skin cover of optimal quality under varying conditions in hand injuries have been briefly described. The overriding principles of hand coverage following injury remain: to achieve, by the simplest methods appropriate to the circumstances, the replacement of lost tissue similar or nearly similar in quality to that lost and to accomplish this with as little morbidity and as little donor area scar as possible, and as expeditiously as is consonant with the best results.

Electrical burns of the mouth in children; a method for assessing results.

A retrospective study has been reported of a 15-year experience with electrical burns of the mouth in children. Addtionally, a method has been described by which the surgical results to date can be measured. It seems that the means of initial treatment (excision vs. conservative) does not influence the final results, but rather the extent of injury is probably the crucial factor. Because of a high incidence of significant bleeding from the labial artery, and the concept of early wound excision to diminish late scaring, we continus to favor initial delayed primary excision.

The use of the fiberoptic bronchoscope to facilitate endotracheal intubation following head and neck trauma.

The fiberoptic bronchoscope is an invaluable aid in the difficult endotracheal intubation. Its successful use with three patient groups is described: those with soft-tissue contractures of the mouth or neck; those with severe fractures of facial bones and/or mandible; those with unstable fractures or fracture-dislocations of the cervical spine. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is felt to be the technique of choice when intubation is difficult, especially when there are contractures or deformities of the larynx, manidible, or cervical spine.
