A successful nose reconstruction is represented by a normal look and nasal breathing preservation. The choice of method is based on the site, size, depth of the defect, donor availability, and surgeon experience. There are multiple methods of restoring nasal cover, from primary repair to healing by secondary intention, from primary suture, skin graft to locoregional flaps, but all of them should be integrated into a personalized approach, keeping the nasal functions, a good aesthetic outcome and without any tumor infiltration. This paper consisting of a retrospective study of 9 patients diagnosticated with squamous cell carcinoma revealed the importance of skin properties and skin changes during aging. Despite all aesthetic principles, skin is the most important resource in facial reconstruction.
Due to its scarcity, the basosquamous carcinoma represents a challenging pathology both as a result of its aggressiveness and potential of relapse and metastases, and also due to unclear management guides. Encountered under the name of basal cell carcinoma or metatypical carcinoma, the pathophysiology of such tumors is still unclear and it is not known yet if it either derives from a basal cell carcinoma or it could be a variant of transition to a squamous cell carcinoma. Due to low incidence, unclear treatment protocols and not enough research regarding squamous component in the aggressivity of basosquamous carcinoma, the aim of this paper is to analyze histopathological features of 5 cases of basosquamous carcinoma from Plastic Surgery Department of Emergency University Hospital, Bucharest, and correlate them with current literature.
The diagnosis in Carpian tunnel syndrom is based on clinical symptoms and electrodiagnostic studies. Electrodiagnostic studies help to stage both motor and sensory nerve damage.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is currently the most common peripheral nerve compression neuropathy that affects approximately 1% of the population [7,8,9]. The incidence of CTS seems to be increasing. The diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and electrodiagnostic studies.
