Tumour implantation to a temporalis muscle flap donor site.

A rare case of tumour implantation to the donor site of a temporalis muscle flap is described. This flap was used for intra-oral reconstruction following resection of a squamous cell carcinoma of the retromolar fossa. This surprisingly uncommon complication of ablative cancer surgery should largely be preventable by strict adherence to well established surgical principles.

Opsite spray: its use for fixation of meshed skin grafts. Simple and low tech.

The fixation of skin grafts often poses a problem, particularly in patients who have undergone tangential excision and grafting for burns. Sutures, staples, fibrin glue and other adhesives have been used for graft fixation. We present the use of Opsite spray as a simple method for graft fixation and stabilization. Opsite markedly reduced pain and discomfort at the time of first graft dressing and obviated the necessity for an anaesthetic which is often required for the removal of staples.

Normal aortoiliac diameters by CT.

In spite of the vital role CT plays in the evaluation of vascular disease, no standard CT derived dimensions for the abdominal aorta, iliac, and femoral arteries have been established. A retrospective study of the CT scans of 260 patients was performed with patients separated by sex and age. Aortic diameter was measured at predetermined suprarenal, renal, and infrarenal locations and single measurements of the iliac and femoral arteries were made bilaterally. The vessel diameter was observed to gradually increase with age in both sexes. Men were found to have larger diameter vessels than age matched women. This pattern was noted at all levels measured. The normal range of vascular dimensions determined is presented.

Degloving injuries. A retrospective study at the University Hospital Rotterdam.

Degloving injuries are severe and frequently underestimated lesions. In a retrospective study, 65 patients treated between 1985 and 1991 were reviewed. Therapy consisted of surgical exploration as soon after injury as possible, with defatting of the avulsed skin and its replacement on the most functionally important sites. The remaining raw areas were covered with split skin grafts (SSG). This technique reduced morbidity, hospital stay and work incapacity, as compared with patients treated by other methods.
