Anatomic basis of the sural fascio-cutaneous flap: surgical applications.

Studies of the fascio-cutaneous vascularization and innervation of the leg seem incomplete. After reviewing the classical findings, the authors report on their anatomic study 15 dissections. Perforating pedicles, originating from the peroneal artery (3 to 5) and posterior tibial artery (4 to 5) destined for the skin and fascia of the posterior aspect of the leg were constantly found. This study suggests the possibility of a distally based sural fascio-cutaneous flap, a flap which has been successfully constructed clinically.

The action of piracetam in ischaemic flaps.

The effects of piracetam on skin flap viability, capillary blood flow and temperature were studied in abdominal cutaneous flaps in rats. The drug significantly increased the viability of the distal (random) portion of the flap and this response was dose-related. Compared with controls, the area of skin necrosis was 12.4% less in the piracetam-treated animals and extended necrosis was not observed. Piracetam appeared to act by increasing the capillary blood flow, mainly in the distal portion of the flap. The improved perfusion was reflected as a smaller drop in the recorded temperature compared with controls. Blood levels of this drug in animals receiving the maximum effective dose corresponded to the active drug concentration in human rheology.

[The distally based sural fascio-cutaneous flap. A new technic for the coverage of loss of substance of the lower leg].

Prognosis of compound open fractures has been transformed by the use of plastic surgery to cover wounds. However, loss of substance of lower third of leg remains a delicate problem frequently requiring the use of microsurgical techniques by experienced teams. The sural cutaneo-aponeurotic distal base flap, the subject of a detailed anatomical study by the authors, can resolve the problem without affecting muscle capital and at the price of minor esthetic sequelae. Results in two clinical cases confirm reliability of this flap.

Tumor of the hypopharynx: free jejunal transfer with conservation of the larynx: a case report.

Resection of the hypopharynx or cervical esophagus for malignancy is always quite mutilating if reconstruction cannot be achieved with a one-stage procedure. Several techniques have been described, but they are often associated with laryngectomy. In the case reported, a free split jejunal segment transfer allowed reconstruction of the hypopharynx without laryngectomy, as the malignancy did not involve the larynx.

[Mediastinal tracheotomy in cervicofacial oncologic surgery. Contribution of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap].

Four cases of anterior mediastinal tracheostomy with myocutaneous Pectoralis Major flap are described. Resection of the manubrium, clavicular heads and the cartilages of the first and second ribs is necessary. The use of myocutaneous Pectoralis Major flap give good functional results. No infection or hemorrhage of mediastinal great vessels occurred. The indications of Anterior mediastinal tracheostomy are discussed. Stomal and peristomal recurrences following laryngectomy for carcinoma represents the indication of choice. Stomal recurrences are difficult to treat and the prognostic is poor. Prevention of the stomal recurrences is discussed.
