In children with large soft tissue defects of the foot and ankle, it is difficult to cover the wound completely using a local skin flap, and skin grafting of the donor area for repair causes secondary damage. Free skin flaps require good vascular anastomoses and are prone to vascular crises. The authors evaluated the effectiveness and safety of cross-inguinal flaps for the repair of large soft tissue defects of the foot and ankle in children. The records of 15 children who underwent cross-groin flap transplantation between June 2017 and June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. All the flaps survived without infection, necrosis, or other complications. The flap shape was good, the donor area was sutured directly, and the damage was minimal. This surgical method is simple, effective, and safe and can replace microsurgery, making it suitable for use in primary-level hospitals that are not equipped for microscopic surgery.

IntroductionIn January 2013, France launched a military operation in Mali, which ended in August 2022. This study aimed to analyse the global activity performed by a surgical team within the role 2 medical treatment facility (MTF) deployed in Gao during this period, in order to adapt medical battlefield support and combat casualty care teaching.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted using the French surgical database OpEX (French Military Health Service) from January 2013 to August 2022. All patients operated on were included.ResultsDuring this period, 1298 patients with a median age of 29 (range: 23–38) years were included. Among them, 229 (17.6%) underwent a combat-related trauma surgery (CRTS), 234 (18.0%) underwent a non-CRTS, 167 (12.9%) underwent a non-trauma-related surgery and 668 (51.5%) underwent a scheduled surgery in the context of medical supply to the population.Among the CRTS group, 195 (85.2%) patients underwent an orthopaedic procedure, 73 (31.8%) required a general surgery. Finally, 15 (6.6%) wounded required a specialised surgery.ConclusionsIn line with the activity described in the role 2 MTF deployed in other contemporary asymmetric conflicts, this activity is moderate, especially if only combat-related injuries are considered; medical support to the population occupied most of the surgical activity. For CRTS, most of the traumas are limb traumas. Other traumas are composed of various lesions, which are often life-threatening. This fact imposes the presence of an orthopaedic surgeon with the appropriate equipment, as well as a general surgeon with a wide range of skills, in asymmetric conflicts.
