“…Small defects created by surgical resection may be readily reconstructed by linear closure or with local flaps. However, large defects with large defects involving over 60% of lip local flaps previously described by Gillies and Millard [ 1 ], Karapandzic [ 2 ], Webster et al [ 3 ], Nakajima et al [ 4 ], and others often results with microstomia and oral incompetence resulting in drooling and speech incomprehension [ 5 , 6 ]. Microstomia may result with impaired oral hygiene and inability to use dentures.…”

Introduction. Squamous cell carcinoma is a common tumour of lower lip. Small defects created by surgical resection may be readily reconstructed by linear closure or with local flaps. However, large tumours resection often results with microstomia and oral incompetence, drooling, and speech incomprehension. The goal of this study is to describe our experience with composite free radial forearm-palmaris longus tendon flap for total or near total lower lip reconstruction. Patients and Methods. This procedure was used in 5 patients with 80–100% lip defect resulting from Squamous cell carcinoma. Patients' age ranged from 46 to 82 years. They are three male patients and two female. In 3 cases chin skin was reconstructed as well and in one case a 5 cm segment of mandible was reconstructed using radius bone. In one case where palmaris longus was missing hemi-flexor carpi radialis tendon was used instead. All patients tolerated the procedure well. Results. All flaps totally survived. No patient suffered from drooling. All patients regained normal diet and normal speech. Cosmetic result was fair to good in all patients accept one. Conclusion. We conclude that tendino-fasciocutaneous radial forearm flap for total lower lip reconstruction is safe. Functional and aesthetic result approaches reconstructive goals.

“…Tissue losses must be “replaced in kind.” 59 FT follows this principle through a single procedure as opposed to multistage autologous reconstruction. However, a mature approach to FT involves methodical reconstruction through a stepwise process.…”

Background: Facial transplantation (FT) has become a feasible reconstructive solution for patients with devastating facial injuries. Secondary revisions to optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes are to be expected, yet the optimal timing and approach remain to be determined. The purpose of this study was to analyze all facial allograft revisions reported to date, including the senior author’s experience with 3 FTs. Methods: A literature review was performed, with 2 reviewers independently conducting title and abstract screening, followed by a full-text review. All articles mentioning FT revision surgeries were evaluated. The medical records of the senior author’s 3 FT recipients were additionally reviewed. Results: Initially, 721 articles were captured and 37 were included in the final analysis. Thirty-two FTs were reported to have involved posttransplant allograft revisions, with FT recipients undergoing a mean of 4.8 ± 4.6 revision procedures. The mean duration between FT and the first revision procedure was 149 ± 179 days. A wide spectrum of revisions was identified and categorized as involving the soft tissues, craniofacial skeleton, dentition, oronasal cavity, salivary glands, facial nerve, or ocular region. In the senior author’s experience, when indicated, posttransplant occlusal changes and integrity of the donor–recipient intraoral interface were successfully addressed with secondary procedures without allograft compromise or loss. Conclusions: The worldwide experience shows that secondary procedures are nearly ubiquitous after FT and can be safely performed at various timepoints. The authors thereby establish 5 distinct categories of facial allograft revisions and define 7 critical principles to optimize posttransplant procedures.

“…13 Although planning a training in orthopaedics in Auckland, he was asked to take a Locum RSO post at Hammersmith Hospital and crucially this appointment in 1930 brought him under the influence of Sir Harold Gillies, himself just appointed to that hospital. 30,31 At first Rainsford was sceptical about the importance of plastic surgery. In 1957 Gillies wrote colourfully…”

“…The house officer was assigned back to the general service, as I arranged to cover Gillies’ beds, and we soon had half the ward filled with plastic cases’. 30 He was allocated a few beds in a general surgical ward ‘in which I worked and for some weeks my presence produced no reaction. One morning I saw a reconstruction of a destroyed cheek so surprising in its perfection that I determined then and there to try to cultivate the acquaintance of the man who was so obviously a master of his craft’.…”

“…These two also slaved away, cutting grafts, sewing up pedicles, and taking on all the hard luck cases while I went fishing or golfing. 30 From RSO, Mowlem was appointed Assistant Medical Officer in January 1932 32 and on 17 June 1933, at the Presbyterian Church, Regent Square, London, he married Margaret West Harvey, a nurse and the daughter of John Lamb Harvey, a Baptist minister. Of the ‘big four,’ Mowlem alone had a single marriage that lasted for almost 50 years until Margaret’s death.…”

Arthur Rainsford Mowlem, the junior of the 'big four' plastic surgeons, with Harold Delf Gillies, Thomas Pomfret Kilner and Archibald Hector McIndoe, came to prominence managing casualties of the Second World War. Rainsford Mowlem's ancestor was John Mowlem, the creator of the construction firm. Rainsford worked his passage to the United Kingdom from New Zealand in 1927 and did not return to New Zealand but retired at the age of 60 to enjoy 23 more years in Spain. He was the driving force between 1934 and 1939 at the Plastic Surgery Unit at St James's Hospital, Balham, and instigated the North London Plastic Surgery Unit at Hill End, St Albans, from 1939 to 1953 and subsequently developed the Unit after moving to Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middlesex. After successfully hosting the International Meeting of Plastic Surgeons in London in 1959, he received recognition and honours in America but soon afterwards he surprised colleagues by retiring in 1962. Despite his significant contributions, he did not receive national honours but his life outside surgery was active including Trusteeship of the Mowlem Estate at Swanage in Dorset for 40 years.
