Enhancement of healing of mesh grafts with autologous keratinocytes.
Cultured epithelium prepared from epidermal cells may spread to cover large wounds and may also stimulate the growth of islands of intact cells. Autologous keratinocytes have been used in two cases to enhance the healing of mesh grafts laid on large surgical wounds.

Surgical anatomy of the serratus anterior-rib composite flap.
Dissection of 40 cadavers demonstrates that the serratus muscle has a constant anatomy. If it is used as a muscle flap, it is reliable with a consistently long pedicle, excellent malleability and multipennate anatomy permitting coverage of complex three dimensional wounds of the face and limbs. The anastomosis, around the rib, between its vessels and those arising from the intercostal artery are useful if it is raised as a rib-composite flap.

Primary reconstruction of the mandible after resection for oral cancer.
Forty-seven patients with cancer of the lower half of the oral cavity underwent primary restoration of mandibular continuity with a threaded wire after "en bloc" resection. The overall 3 years tolerance rate of the wire calculated according to the actuarial method is 0.29. Preoperative radiotherapy and inclusion of the wire into silastic reduced tolerance of the prosthesis. The occurrence of an oral fistula required removal of the wire.
