Consequences of radiation accidents.

Radiation injury attributable to radiotherapy is a topic that has attracted ample attention in the literature, especially in a vast number of publications in plastic surgery. However, the literature is clearly devoid of compilations regarding the effects of ionized radiation accidents. A case of a radiation accident is presented. It is nearly impossible to anticipate the extent of effects of external irradiation of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The initially healed area should be expected to show late recurrent necrosis. Patients exposed to ionized external irradiation are no longer radioactive and can be treated as ordinary patients. However, these patients should be followed closely for years, keeping in mind the onset of late radiation effects like skin necrosis in various parts of the body, skin and other organ cancers, leukemia, infertility, hypothyroidism, and cataracts.

Bilateral split latissimus dorsi V-Y flaps for closure of large thoracolumbar meningomyelocele defects.

Closure of large meningomyelocele wounds and defects always requires durable and safe coverage of the dural repair. A new technical method for the reconstruction of large thoracolumbar meningomyelocele defects is described in which bilateral musculocutaneous flaps are advanced and transposed medially in a V-Y sliding manner, based on the thoracolumbar perforatiors of the latissimus dorsi. This procedure provides a reliable, well-vascularized soft tissue coverage over the neural repair with minimum donor-site morbidity. Additionally, this method is particularly appropriate to the thoracolumbar area, as it preserves the lateral adjacent regions of the defect, for later alternative and/or reconstructive options.
