A case of pyoderma gangrenosum progressively developing after bilateral mastopexy at the surgical site is described. The described case was successfully treated with corticosteroids, the application of the dermal regeneration template Integra and autologous skin grafts. This approach was able to save the patient's life and to generate a high-quality aesthetical outcome. The article reported the case, reviewed the literature of pyoderma gangrenosum related to mastopexy or augmentation mammoplasty and discussed the use of a dermal regeneration template to optimise aesthetical results after reconstructive surgery.

Objective To determine the management of perineal and genital burns in children. Patients and methods Twenty‐seven children (aged 6 months to 12 years) suffering from genital or perineal burns between 1981 and 1995 were reviewed. Most burns occurred in boys (70%), were due to scalds (85%) and caused superficial second‐degree lesions (63%). The initial treatment consisted of topical antimicrobials or grafting with allografts. Results Spontaneous healing by conservative therapy, not early excision therapy, occurred in 96% of the patients. Contractures occurred in two patients and were treated with multiple Z‐plasties and circumcision. Conclusion The management of perineal and genital burns in children should be conservative.
