Halsey needle holder for micro and mini slit grafting.

BACKGROUND: Few suggestions have been made to date concerning how to more reproducibly place scalp slits for micro- and minigrafts. OBJECTIVE: To improve on the unpredictable consistency of depth and angle of scalp slits for micro- and minigrafting. METHOD: Seven-inch Halsey needle holders were used to stabilize the cutting instruments (No-Kor microblades, #15c, and #15 blades) for making scalp slits for micro- and minigrafts on approximately 80 patients over 5 months. CONCLUSION: Using the Halsey needle holder or stabilization of the blades for slit placement of scalp micro- and minigrafting is superior to directly holding the blades by improving on depth, angle control, ease of holding and adjustment, and greater reproducibility.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome: laser photocoagulation of colonic hemangiomas in a child with microcytic anemia.

This is a case report and review of the literature on the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome. The clinical features of the syndrome are discussed, with emphasis on chronic gastrointestinal bleeding and resulting anemia. A new therapeutic modality, colonoscopy with laser photocoagulation, is recommended as a safe, effective, and less invasive method of controlling bleeding from colonic hemangiomas than surgical resection and repeated transfusions. This technique is less helpful for patients with prominent involvement of the small intestine.
