[Eyelid repair using the Hübner technique].

Many methods have been proposed for the reconstruction of full thickness defects of the eyelid are numerous, but all are imperfect. The texture, colour, and functional role of the eyelid require the use of a ciliated composite transplant. Among the various techniques described, Hübner's transplants, free transfers of a segment composed of connective tissue of the tarsus and the ciliary margin of the contralateral eyelid, covered by a palpebral flap, can be used to reconstruct a hemi-eyelid, or even two-thirds of the eyelid with good aesthetic and functional results.

[Cuniculatum carcinoma. 6 cases and review of the literature].

The cuniculatum carcinoma is a rare type of epidermoid carcinoma. We report 6 cases with different localizations ("oral cavity and larynx", vulva, lower limb) treated over a 23-year period. Diagnosis is particularly difficult and requires careful clinical examination completed by deep surgical biopsy for histology. The aetiology of the tumour is not well defined. It presents as a slow growing wart with local malignancy and chronic suppuration. Extension to lymph nodes is rare. Histologically there is proliferative deep malpighian infiltration with an aspect of normal cell maturation. Galeries are hollowed out giving the aspect of a rabbit burrow (cuniculatum). Surgery is the only treatment, generally without lymph node curage. Radiotherapy is contraindicated due to anaplastic transformation.

[The Pers flap in the reconstruction of distal nasal defects].

The in and out flap of Pers, described in 1967, is used for the reconstruction of alar defect. After an anatomical reminder of the blood supplied of the nasolabial region, we mentioned four cases of this flap, with some little modifications of drawing and closing of donor site. The others ways of repear of alar defect are discussed.

Use of polyglactin 910 mesh (Vicryl) in pelvic oncologic surgery.

Various synthetic materials have been shown to be useful surgical adjuncts in shielding the small intestine from pelvic radiation or in creating a new pelvic floor after major radical resections. Promising preliminary results with a polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) mesh in preventing radiation enteropathy prompted the authors to evaluate its clinical usefulness in reconstruction of the pelvic floor. Use of this mesh in pelvic exenterations (five total, one posterior) for advanced or recurrent gynecologic malignancies was associated with one enteroperineal fistula but no pelvic infection. In comparison with other pelvic reconstruction devices, this absorbable mesh significantly reduced intestinal morbidities in pelvic exenterations. This procedure appears to be feasible, reproducible, and safe, especially in patients who have undergone previous irradiation or those with an unsuitable omentum.
