The parasternal paddle: a modification of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.

A modification of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap has been described for head and neck reconstruction. The flap uses the skin overlying the sternum and parasternal area and may extend across the midline to the contralateral internal mammary perforators. The flap has been uniformly reliable in our experience. It is thin and easy to elevate, and donor-site morbidity is minimal. This flap is rapidly becoming our first-choice for head and neck reconstruction.

Biliary secretion of methadone and methadone metabolites in man.

A method for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of human bile for methadone, and two of its metabolites: pyrrolidine, the major metabolite formed by N-demethylation, and pyrroline, formed by a second N-demethylation, using gas liquid chromatography and both radiolabeled methadone and pyrrolidine as standards for determinations of recovery has been developed. This method has been applied to the quantitative analysis of methadone and its metabolites in bile collected over three days from T-tube drainage in a methadone-maintained patient who had undergone cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration but who had no liver disease. The concentrations and total amounts of the pyrrolidine metabolite far exceeded those of methadone and of the pyrroline metabolite. The amounts of unchanged methadone found in bile (as in previous studies of feces) were found to be very low. Therefore, at least in this patient, a significant enterohepatic circulation of unchanged methadone is unlikely.

Lipoma of the thumb in a child.

Lipomas occur anywhere in the body but are rarely found in the fingers. This report describes a lipoma of the dorsum of the thumb in a 9-year-old boy. We have been unable to find a previously reported case.

Comparison between the early use of skin flap and skin graft for the correction of large tissue loss at the elbow.

Six patients with soft and hard tissue injuries of the elbow region during the 1973 Yom-Kippur war are discussed. These six patients were treated with two types of procedures. One group was initially treated with application of a split-thickness skin graft followed by a thoracoabdominal, abdominal, or chest skin flap. The second group was initially treated with the application of a thoracoabdominal flap. There are few descriptions in the literature or in textbooks of the plan design method, nor are there comparisons of two types of procedures. In both groups the end results were the same. The differences were the time of hospitalization and the cooperation of the patients during treatment. In both groups the flap was transferred before further surgical reconstruction of bones and joints.

Treatment of extensive avulsions of skin and subcutaneous tissues.

This article deals with the treatment of extensive avulsion injuries. Five out of twenty-eight cases of extensive avulsion injuries are presented and illustrated. All of these injuries were caused by machinery or automobile accidents and were encountered in the three-year period from 1972 to 1975. Etiology, pathology, and treatment with mechanical and chemical debridement, porcine skin grafts, fasciotomy, delayed primary closure, stamp or mesh skin grafts, and skin flaps are detailed and discussed.
