“…[11] Many reconstructive alternatives are available within the reconstructive ladder, the more local the better according to Gillies Principles of Plastic Surgery, principle no.9: 'Losses' (Loses must be replaced in kind). [12] Based on commandment and ladder local flap should be addressed firstly if possible. When the defect is beyond the limitation of local flaps regarding size of defect and elasticity of tissue, regional flaps or free vascularized flaps will be the choice despite the prolonged operative time and postoperative complications.…”

The scalp is different, unlike any other site in the head and neck, it has the thickest skin in the human body and covers bone that protects the intracranial structures. Due to the special nature of scalp tissue, the reconstruction of defects is a challenging task. Many techniques have been used in scalp reconstruction from a simple approximation of the two edges of the scalp lesion, rotation flaps with their techniques as triple rotation, double-opposing rotation, pinwheel flaps up to utilization of regional flaps and tissue expanders. This study aims to introduce a small alteration in both the design and closure technique of the snail rotation flap used in scalp reconstruction to allow less rotation and easier approximation of the flap. This modified flap was used to manage seven cases three females and four males with scalp defects presented to the Oral and

“…The disadvantage with the use of conchal and septal grafts is that, it is limited in volume. However, using the Gillies principle of “economy of use,” 2 conchal and septal grafts can be used for augmentation. Every bit and piece of available conchal and septum cartilage graft can be combined to obtain a substantial volume.…”

Background Augmentation rhinoplasty requires graft with substantial volume. In cases where patient is reluctant to use costal cartilage, this can be done using septum and conchal cartilage graft. Using the technique of “stacked cartilage graft” an assembly is made using septum and conchal cartilage for nasal augmentation and contour defects. Although multilayered grafts have been described before, we propose an elaborate and effective method named after our city, Mumbai, to shape these grafts and highlight economical use of conchal and septal cartilage to overcome its limited volume. It also describes its clinical and aesthetic outcome of this technique in Indian patients. Methods A retrospective study from 2005 to 2020 was done in our institute. Data was collected from medical and hospital records. Preoperative and postoperative photographs were obtained for preoperative planning and outcome analysis. Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation score was used for outcome analysis. Minimum follow-up was 1 year in our study. Results A total of 210 patients were included in our study. In all cases, the stacked cartilage graft technique produced a natural appearing dorsum. Complications of cartilage such as resorption, extrusion, and warping were minimum. All the patients were satisfied with their results. Conclusion Although the limited volume of conchal cartilage is criticized, in reality it can be used effectively for larger requirement with “economy of use” using our technique. The curvatures and convolutions of conchal cartilage can be effectively neutralized by using this technique to obtain a smooth surface.However, this technique requires incorporation of every bit of cartilage and meticulous stacking of the pieces to get the desired shape. Thus, the stacked cartilage grafts have excellent versatility and produce natural and long-lasting results and minimal complications.

“…Sir Harold Gillies’ principles of plastic surgery state to “always keep a lifeboat.” 11 Keeping a lifeboat is an important principle that underscores not only wound repair, but operational and financial aspects of plastic surgery as well. Things do not always go as planned and alternatives must be kept in mind.…”

Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, new guidelines were issued cautioning against performing elective procedures. We aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on operational and financial aspects of plastic surgery in Miami. Methods: A multiple-choice and short-answer survey regarding practice changes and financial impact was sent to all 67 members of the Miami Society of Plastic Surgeons. Results: A 41.8% (n = 28) response rate was obtained, five responses did not meet the inclusion criteria, and statistical analysis was performed on 34.3% (n = 23) of responses. Of the plastic surgeons who responded, 21.74% operate in an academic setting, 60.87% are in a single practitioner private practice, and 17.39% are in a multi-practitioner private practice. An estimated 60% of academic plastic surgeons had 75% or more of their previously scheduled cases canceled, compared with 57.14% in single practitioner private practice and 100% in multi-practitioner private practice. In total, 64.29% of single practitioner private practices and 50% of multi-practitioner private practices have had to obtain a small business loan. Single practitioner private practice plastic surgeons reported having an average of 6.5 months until having to file for bankruptcy or permanently close their practices, and multi-practitioner private practice plastic surgeons reported an average of 6 months. Conclusions: Guidelines to support small business must be implemented in order to allow private practice surgeons to recover from the substantial economic impact caused by the pandemic because it is necessary to reestablish patient access and provide proper care to our patients.
