Upper lip reconstruction: use of the free superficial temporal artery hair-bearing flap.

The use of the superficial temporal artery hair-bearing flap applied to the repair of burn injuries to the upper lip of two male patients is described. It is a relatively simple method of providing tissue to the injured lip with advantages over traditional methods in that it is single-staged and provides the possibility for hair growth in the form of a camouflaging moustache. Donor site morbidity is minimal. When combined with additional reconstructive procedures in the multiply-injured male face, it provides a reasonable expectation for the patient of an acceptable appearance.

Replantation of an excised segment of radial forearm tissue.

A report on a case of successful replantation of an excised segment of forearm tissue is presented. An 18 year old man was admitted to hospital with a completely excised segment of the radial side of his forearm and wrist as a result of a circular saw injury. The best reconstructive option was replantation of the excised radial forearm tissue thus providing both soft tissue cover and bony stabilization.
