Article Abstract
A 64-year-old woman with recurrence of carcinoma of the vulva in an irradiated area received an en-bloc total pelvic exenteration. Reconstruction of the pelvic defect was performed with an anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap and a rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) flap (PM/RAM). This combination of flaps is unique, with excellent results. In a large defect, often irradiated in advance, well-vascularised tissue should be placed. Multiple flaps can be used to reconstruct these large pelvic defects, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The combination of flaps used in this case uses the good properties of both flaps: the reliable and well-vascularised PM/RAM in combination with the ALT flap to provide much bulk in extreme large defects.

Reconstruction of large full-thickness medial lower eyelid margin defects often requires centrally-based tarsoconjunctival pedicle flaps from the ipsilateral upper eyelid in combination with anterior lamellar grafting. However, centrally-based flaps may result in temporary obstruction of the visual axis in the affected eye. We present a novel modified surgical technique utilizing a medially-based tarsoconjunctival pedicle flap from the upper eyelid for the reconstruction of large full-thickness medial lower eyelid defects.

The primary outcome measure was the percentage of root coverage. Secondary outcomes included recession height (RH), recession width (RW), width of keratinized tissue (WKT), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL).

To observe the effects of different repair methods in the defects after Mohs surgical excision of malignant nasal tumors. Twenty-two cases of external nasal malignant tumor surgery from January 2021 to May 2024 were selected as the research. The tumors were resected using Mohs surgical technique, and the defects were repaired using forehead axial flap, bipedicle flap, nasolabial flap, free full-thickness skin graft from the groin, forehead axial flap, facial kite flap, and composite flap of earlobe cartilage and perichond.

Traditionally, tumor ablation and reconstruction using the subscapular system of flaps require two patient position changes. Consequently, ablation and harvesting cannot be performed simultaneously by two teams, which is a considerable disadvantage of the subscapular flap system. We harvested these flaps using the pull-through technique in the lateral decubitus position to decrease position changes.
