[Burn sequelae in developing countries].

Based on their experience in the reconstruction of burn sequelae acquired over the last decade in India and Africa, the authors try to define a number of elements applicable to every case and in every country: the importance of preparation of missions in the foreign country and in France, concerning material and all team personnel; the particular conditions of anaesthesia-intensive care; surgical criteria of efficacy, rapidity, simplicity and reproducibility. Full-thickness skin grafts and reliable local or regional flaps are the preferred techniques. The authors consider that there is no place for expansion prostheses and microsurgical free flaps in this setting.

[The saphenous flap called the Acland's flap. Report of 2 cases].

The authors present two cases of Acland's flap. This flap described and published in 1981, is a very good flap, but the myocutaneous flaps have limited its use. However, the authors believe that there are indications for this saphenous flap. The vascular supply for this flap is a saphenous artery, the last branch of the femoral artery, before it becomes the popliteal artery. The authors report two cases: one neurovascular island flap for the posterior side of the knee, and the other case is a free flap for forearm. This flap is part of a particularly rich arterial network on the medial side of the thigh and of the knee. Masquelet, in 1986, showed that it is possible to raise a periosteal flap or a vascularized tendon flap.
