One stage random pattern de-epithelialized 'turn over' flap in the treatment of complicated wounds of the leg.

The de-epithelialized 'turn over' flap is a random pattern flap but it is safe by virtue of the rich dermal blood supply. It is a simple one-stage procedure which can be applied to most skin defects and complicated wounds of the leg. This procedure has been carried out in a series of 35 cases and two illustrative cases are presented to show the results. The design of the flap has been discussed in some detail.

Radical muscle mobilisation in surgery for a unilateral cleft lip.

The embryological basis of a unilateral cleft lip is briefly outlined. The abnormal configuration of the orbicularis oris in a unilateral cleft lip is viewed on a model. The effect of freeing this muscle from its abnormal attachments and radically mobilising it, is theoretically discussed. The actual effects of such a mobilisation in clinical practice are shown. Post operative results of 16 unilateral cleft lips treated by radical muscle mobilisation are presented and discussed. The need for a longer follow up is recognised.

One-stage random-pattern de-epithelialised "turn over" flaps in the leg.

One-stage random-pattern de-epithelialised "turn over" flaps in the lower third of the leg appear to be as useful and successful as in the upper third of the leg. The blood supply to these flaps and their advantages are briefly discussed. The clinical details of 20 "turn over" flaps done over a period of 18 months are listed and two typical examples are presented.

The use of de-epithelialised "turn over" flaps in the hand.

Two examples are presented of the application of the principles of de-epithelialised "turn over" flaps in the hand. These flaps were used to resurface a post-infective volar skin defect on a finger and to correct an adduction contracture in the first web space of the hand. The reasons for their use and their advantages are briefly discussed.

Radical muscle mobilisation in the surgical repair of a unilateral cleft lip.

The embryological basis of a unilateral cleft lip is briefly outlined. The hypothetical effects of radical mobilisation of the orbicularis oris in a unilateral cleft lip are postulated. The actual clinical effects of such a mobilisation are noted in four cases. The role that radical muscle mobilisation might play in the surgical repair of a unilateral cleft lip is discussed. The need for a longer follow-up of the patients treated in this way is recognised.
