Article Abstract

Persistent tracheo-cutaneous fistulae necessitate a closure with pedicled or free flaps. The modality adopted is to reconstitute the anterior tracheal wall without compromising the tracheal lumen. We have developed the lateral U advancement Burrow's flap over the strap muscles and tracheal lateral fibrous flaps, to repair a large trachea-cutaneous fistula.

Economic and labour policies have a considerable influence on health and well-being through direct financial impacts, and by shaping social and physical environments. Strong economies are important for public health investment and employment, yet the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reshape economies, presenting challenges beyond mere temporary market disruption. Generative AI can perform non-routine cognitive tasks, previously unattainable though traditional automation, creating new efficiencies.

Lip reconstruction following excision of cutaneous malignancy should be carefully planned to avoid discarding useful tissue. In this report, we describe two cases in which the usually discarded Burrow's triangles of the cheek advancement flap are used to reconstruct adjacent anatomical structures, thus improving the functional and aesthetic outcome of the reconstruction.

Reconstruction following excision of skin lesions at the cosmetically sensitive junction between the alar base and upper lip continues to be challenging for surgeons. We describe an advancement flap from the nasolabial fold area to reconstruct such defects. Our case demonstrates a gentleman with a clinically diagnosed BCC between the alar base and upper lip.
