[Use of a vein segment in peripheral nerve repair].

The authors describe a new technique of nerve repair based on the utilisation of a venous sleeve to isolate and to contain the severed nerve during the period of cicatrisation. The histological pattern of the venous wall and its reaction to the regenerated nerve have been studied. Electrophysiological techniques, confirmed by histological studies, have demonstrated the good quality of the anastomosis. The utilisation of a venous sleeve allows for nerve repair without synthetic suture material. The dimensions of anastomotic neuroma are reduced, and are smaller than in other techniques of suture. The possibility of isolation of neuroma by the vein, even in the case of terminal neuroma, is equally worth consideration.

The forearm fascia flap.

A new subcutaneous flap technic, derived from the chinese forearm flap has been demonstrated. It has been used to cover large cutaneous defects of the hand, especially when the extensor tendons were exposed. An excellent functional repair has been obtained in a single procedure avoiding large scar formation usually seen on the forearm after classical chinese fasciocutaneous flap.

[Late revascularization for partial amputation of the thumb].

The authors report a case of partial amputation of the thumb, still attached to the medial branch of its nerve, and which was successfully revascularized after 18 hours of ischemia with the thumb still warm. They discuss the operative technique employed, and other similar cases from the literature.

[Embolization of the brachial artery by lead-shot with ischemic syndrome].

Pre-operative arteriography in a 5-year-old girl with a gun-shot wound of the shoulder demonstrated the presence of an arterial embolus at the elbow provoking an ischemic syndrome. Following re-establishment of circulation by embolus extraction the arterial perforation at the point of entry was repaired by a venous graft, loss of shoulder substance being treated by a musculocutaneous flap from the latissimus dorsi region. Pre-operative arteriography should be a routine investigation in patients with ischemic syndromes of the limbs following injury from penetrating projectiles.

[Myocutaneous flaps of the pectoralis major. Anatomy, technic and clinical applications].

The authors emphasize the versatility of the pectoralis major myo-cutaneous flap in head and neck reconstruction. They describe the vascular anatomy of the flap after dissection and catheterization of the deep pectoral branch of the acromio-thoracic artery in twenty cadavers. They emphasize the consistency and the size of this artery and describe a rich and regular network of perforating myo-cutaneous arteries. These allow a high versatility in the size of the cutaneous area. The use of this flap to cover carcinologic or post-radiotherapic defect is indicated because it brings a richly vascularized muscular tissue. The arc rotation of the flap is very large and permits reconstructions in axillary, thoracic and facial area. A "S" superior incision save the possibility of using a homolateral delto-pectoralis cutaneous flap. The authors present five typical clinical applications of this flap.

[A case of hypertrophy of the earlobes].

The authors present a case of earlobe hypertrophy and discuss about etiologies and reduction methods possibilities. They insist on the importance of histological diagnoses to research connection tissue display and gives us a new surgical method with the limits of its indications.
