“…Signoroni 26 Historical reviews of the art of nasal reconstruction were published over the years. 18,[32][33][34][35] With the advent of anesthesia and the possibility of closing the donor site primarily, leaving an acceptable scar, the forehead rhinoplasty became the procedure of choice due to its simplicity, good color match, and excellent results. Although the arm flap operation is now rarely performed, we have to be extremely grateful to Gaspare Tagliacozzi for having been the one who systematized and promulgated nasal reconstruction and established plastic surgery as an independent specialty.…”

Amputation of the nose was practiced as a sign of humiliation to adulterers, thieves, and prisoners of war by certain ancient populations. To erase this disfigurement, numerous techniques were invented over the centuries. In India, where this injury was common, advancement cheek flaps were performed (around 600 BC). The forehead flap was introduced much later, probably around the 16th century. The Venetian adventurer Manuzzi, in writing a report about the Mughal Empire in the second half of the 17th century gave the description of the forehead rhinoplasty. Detailed information concerning the Indian forehead flap reached the Western world in 1794, thanks to a letter to the editor that appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine. From this episode, one can date the beginning of a widespread interest in rhinoplasty and in plastic surgery in general. In Europe, nasal reconstruction started in the 15th century in Sicily with the Brancas, initially with cheek flaps and then with arm flaps. At the beginning of the 16th century, rhinoplasty developed in Calabria (Southern Italy) with the Vianeos. In 1597, Gaspare Tagliacozzi, Professor of Surgery at Bologna, improved the arm flap technique and published a book entirely devoted to this art. He is considered the founder of plastic surgery.

“…This beginning of a retributive system can be found along cultures in Hammurabi Code, Manu Code of India, Hebraic Law or Roman Twelve Tables. However, proportionality can have some anthropological differences appearing to be far away from fairness: blood vengeance in Arabic-beduinen cultures (Al-Krenawi & Graham, 1999); commiting suicide in Papua Nueva Guinea after being mistreated so that victim's family drives to get even with the offender (Counts, 1987); in some regions of India amputating the nose of thieves and war prisoners (Mazzola, 2007) or noses from women considered unfaithful or unworthy in many Middle East of Asia regions such as Afghanistan, as a symbol of public humiliation (as an example, see Aisha case, portrayed in Times cover 9 th August 2010), what is called honor crimes and that is also shaped as spewing acid to her faces; or even death penalty, a vindictive procedure still active in 67 countries in 2010 (Amnesty International, 2011).…”

Frijda (1994) warned that there was no major psychological study on vengeance, encouraging researchers to explore it. In the present article, an updated bibliographic search is done yielding similar conclusions but this time stating four arguments (cultural, judicial, criminal and psychological and social) to justify its study, concluding how society and individuals would benefit from it. Desires of vengeance (DoV) usually underlies the most prevalent crime in Spain. Some victims of bullying and mobbing can harbor DoV and turn into aggressors. In order to achieve a more objective judicial system, the measure of vindictive bias in juries may be helpful, as well as doing it within inmates, to assess risk of recidivism. From ancient to current times, DoV have modulated penal code modifications. These and some other reasons and possible future lines of research are shown to eventually propose an interdisciplinary study and further research so that from common effort of different disciplines we can achieve new knowledge of the matter.

“…Reconstruction of the nose is one of the oldest operations of its kind, but it is still a challenge to surgeons because of the complex anatomy of the nose and its functional and aesthetic importance [1][2][3][4][5][6] . A number of studies on this issue have shown that the tip of the nose, especially columella are the most complex structures for reconstruction, because of their specific localization [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] .…”

Reconstruction of the columella and the tip of the nose with an island-shaped forehead flap

et al. 2011

Background. Posttraumatic and postoperative defects of columella and the tip of the nose are difficult to reconstruct. There are several operative methods described in the literature, and many of them are step-by-step procedures with long duration. The aim of this study was to present one-step procedure for reconstruction of the columella and the tip of the nose with island-shaped arterial forehead flap. Case report. A 45-year old man was submitted to surgical excision of basocellular skin cancer. After the excision, a defect of the columella and tip of the nose the remained, 3 × 2.5 cm in dimensions, with exposed alar cartilages. During the same operation, the defect was covered with an island-shaped arterial forehead flap. Postoperative one-year course was uneventful, without signs of tumor recurrence after one year, and further surgical corrections were unnecessary. Conclusion. Considering the results of our operative technique, we believe that middle island-shaped forehead flap is suitable for reconstruction of the columella and the tip of the nose, due to the following reasons: safe vascularization of flap, similarity of the transferred tissue with the excised one, the procedure is completed in one step, simple surgical technique and uncomplicated healing of a flap-harvesting site
