1.Gluteus Maximus Myocutaneous Island Flap Combined with Round Block Purse String Suture For Sacral Pressure Sores.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(6):1187-1190
Gluteus maximus myocutaneous island flap has several distinct advantage for the treatment of the sacral sore. It has wider rotational arc than the turn-over or rotation flap and can avoid suture line on the mid-line and save muscle function. And the round block purse string suture may reduce the defect size. Then we have been combined the two procedures for treatment of the sacral sore. This method permit a primary donor site closure and stable flap coverage without specific complication in the case of relatively large sized sacral sore.

3.Digital Reconstruction with Free Pulp Transfer from the Great Toe.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1999;26(4):714-719
The authors report our experience of digital pulp reconstruction by free great toe pulp transfer. Twelve patients were treated with lateral great toe hemipulp. Twelve cases of digital pulp defect were reviewed, including 2 thumbs and 10 indices. There were 11 primary cases and 1 case of secondary reconstruction. We noted no necrosis and 5 patients suffered from cold intolerance. The flap sensibility, according to ASSH criteria, was excellent in 1 case, good in 10 cases, fair in 1 case and poor in no cases. The range of the stationary two-point discrimination test was between 4 and 15mm (mean S2-PD value; 7.2mm). The subjective evaluation found in 11 patients was satisfactory and dissatisfactory in 1. Performing this procedure during the acute phase may improve the management of trauma by reducing the time needed for cicatrisation and the length of disability. Furthermore, the principal advantages of this procedure are minimal donor site morbidity, as well as excellent functional and cosmetic gain.

The dual muscle flap (Latissimus dorsi+ Serratus anterior muscle) based on the thoraco-dorsal vascular system for limb reconstruction has been infrequently reported. We have used this flap as a free flap for limb reconstruction in four patients (3 cases in lower linb, 1 in upper limb). A Latissmusi dorsi muscle or musculocutaneous flap and Serratus anterior muscle flap were used and all cases healed satisfactorily. The indications for this flap are to resurface two separate defects simultaneously or to resurface very large defects. It has the advantage of requiring anastomosis of one vascular pedicle only. This flap is particularly suitable for resurfacing defects wider than their length, in relation to the long axis of the limb.

We retrospectively studied 53 cases of thymic tumors diagnosed after thymectomy to clearfied the pathologic difference of thymic tumor associated with myasthenia gravis and without myasthenia gravis. Among them, there are 23 cases with myasthenia gravis; 19 among 36 thymomas(52.8%), 3 of 4 thymolipoma (75%) and 1 squamous cell carcinoma. Lymphoma and teratoma are not associated with myasthenia gravis. There is no significant difference in the prevalence of myasthenia gravis between types of the old traditional classification of thymoma. But according to the new Muller-Hermelink classification, about two-thirds of myasthenia gravis have the thymoma with cortical cell origin. The prevalence of myasthenia gavis were relatively low in the patients with thymoma of medullary or mixed type. The frequent association of myasthenia gravis was suggesting that the thymolipoma might be a variant of thymoma, cortical type.

8.Clinical analysis of the reverse digital island flap.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1998;25(1):145-151
Fingertip injuries represent the most common type of injuries were seen in the upper extrimity. Reconstruction of a injured digit needs good aesthetic result as well as functional recovery. From August 1994 to August 1996, sixty two digits in the fifty four patients were treated by using the reverse digital island flaps. The age of the patients ranged from 13 to 64 years. We reviewed the medical records of our cases and analyzed them in several aspects. Majority of the cases (79%) were covered primarily. Neurorrhaphy was performed in 26 digits (42%). The survival of these flaps was successful in all cases except one case. The mean values of the static two point discrimination in sensate and nonsensate flaps were 6.5 mm and 10.3 mm retrospectively. In this study, venous congestion was the most common early complication (9.6%). Arterial insufficiency and flap loss (6.4%) were the troublesome early complications. Bulky mushroom shaped flap (24.6%), scar contracture (6.4%), paronychia (8.2%), cold intolerance (9.6%), hyperesthesia (3.2%) and flap atrophy (4.8%) were the late complications. In conclusion, despites of its complications, reverse digital island flap provide durable skin cover, superior aesthetic result and excellent sensory restoration.
