Key word: Basal cell carcinoma, Nose, Flap, & Graft.
Abstract:
This clinical study included (23) patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the nose who attended the Specialized Surgical Center in Medical City in Baghdad in 2005.these patients have been studied regarding the sociodemographic characteristics, clinical characters, & anatomical distribution of the BCC on the nose.
Flaps were used for (13) patients with lesions reaching and/or involving the underlying bone and cartilage. Grafts were used for (5) patients. Direct suturing was done for (3) patients with small lesions less than 1cm in diameter, & mixed graft flap was used for full thickness lesions involving the lining of the nose in (2) patients.
Primary reconstruction of any modality was carried out for lesions less than or equal to 2cm in diameter while secondary reconstruction was attempted for lesions more than 2cm in diameter with indefinite margin in the absence of frozen section. Flaps were associated with fewer complications compare to grafts.
Secondary reconstruction was associated with a lower incidence of complications compared to primary reconstruction. The only recurrence was recorded following a primary reconstruction, so that the recurrence is less dependent to the size of the tumor & making the secondary reconstruction a more superior choice.Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Key word: diluted steroid, complicated hemangiomas.
Abstract
The clinical study included (30) patients with complicated cutaneous hemangioma (ulceration, bleeding, obstruction of anatomical orifices, & interference with function or movement) who attended the Specialized Surgical Center in Medical city in Baghdad. Those patients studied regarding the age group, sex, site of lesion, size of lesion, & the percentage of regression after treatment with steroid.
The range of age was from 3 months to 6 years, 20 patients were female & 10 patients were male.
We use local injection of diluted Triamcinolne 4mg with 5ml NACL 0.9% (normal saline), injected by 23gage syringe under local or general anesthesia every 2 weeks for 6 8 sessions depending on the severity of case then applying local pressure dressing. We measure the size of the lesion before each session &record the regression of the lesion. The patients followed for 2 years. Hemangioma commonly present in infant & children, most commonly in female, especially in head & neck in small size between (1*1 2*4). It will regress early if we start the treatment earlier.Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0600

We live in a world that, without doubt, promotes certain so-called ideals and values - and one of them is physical perfection - and male liposuction is one of the ways to achieve it. What seems to be very interesting nowadays is the fact that the women are not the only ones that are "contaminated" by the plastic surgery trend. As a matter of fact, men tend to be more interested in looking as close to perfection as possible - and this is precisely why we hear so much about male liposuction recently. Male liposuction is just one of those procedures that can actually help one reach the ideal physique, in order to gain more admiration and to "fit in" the society that requests beauty and perfection.Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0500
