Abstract
Introduction: Medial canthus area, as one of most common sites of facial skin cancers, is notified for reconstruction. There are numerous reconstructive options to cover resulted skin defects, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here, we decided to present our experience in medial canthal area with amazing result.
Case Report: A 47-year-old man with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of right medial canthus, without extra involvement, was admitted. Following lesion excision with safe margin, the resulted skin defect in 30 mm diameter was reconstructed with full thickness skin graft from posterior auricular area. Several months later, it was really difficult to find scar or operated skin, as supported by complete patient`s satisfaction.
Conclusion: The space between eyes has unbelievable aesthetic and social importance. Any added scar or incision to this area is always challenging. It seems full thickness skin graft - if harvested from proper donor site - can be acceptable in long term aesthetic outcome compared to other reconstructive options.

Abstract
Introduction: Auricular reconstruction of partial ear defects is usually challenging, especially in extended resections or traumas. Helical rim is the most noticeable part of ear with aesthetic significance, which demands detailed procedures. Helical rim advancement is a known procedure to reshape lacerated rim. In the original technique, a chondrocutaneous flap is raised in order to preserve the posterior skin and consequently, the blood supply.
Case Report: Due to auricle’s rich blood supply, we selected an inferiorly based flap of helical rim, which we incised completely, even the posterior skin, in order to advance the flap more freely to the cephalic side and relaxed cephalically. In five patients with helix tumors, this reconstructive procedure was done without threatening the blood supply and flap ischemia. Moreover, posterior skin traction or subsequent deformity, as one of concerns of reconstructive surgeons, were also eradicated.
Conclusion: It appears that this modification can be noteworthy in auricular reconstruction.

Abstract
Background and Aim: This study is executed to compare two common reconstructive surgeries in suppurative hidradenitis.
Methods: Patients with severe supporutive hidradenitis who had operations to excise their axillary lesions and then treated with two standard surgical repair techniques (lateral thoracic flap vs parascapular pedicle flap) were evaluated in a retrospective cohort study. Assessments included range of motion of shoulder, scar objective measurments, and Dermatology Quality of Life Index questionnaire.
Results: Mean range of motion in flexion of parascapular flap and lateral thoracic flap were 176 and 175 degrees, respectively. Range of motion in abduction of parascapular flap and lateral thoracic flap were 166 and 147 degrees, respectively which is interesting according to future disabilities. Pigmentation, thickness, pliability and vascularization were objective scar measurements which there were not significant differences between groups. Patients` responses to questionnaire on their satisfaction of surgery did not differ significantly between two groups in any items of questionnaire. But summation of items took lower points in parascapular flap group versus lateral thoracic flap group.
Conclusion: Despite various reconstructive options in axillary skin defects following suppurative hidradenitis surgery, there is not a generalized agreement on best choice, and each technique has its advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Background: Skin lesions and need for tissue evaluation, makes skin surgery an important part of treatment. Each excision is accompanied by skin repair. One of side effects of lesion excision is dog ear and cosmetic problems, particulary on face.
Case Report: A middle age woman presented with an old leishmaniosis scar in her face. she asked how can we remove the lesion with minimal scar. In the planned operation the lesion was excised some deeper fatty tissues at both ends. At the end of wound closure, there was not ant dog ear around wound.
Conclusion: There are numerous options to prevent and correct dog ears at the end of skin closure- depending on size and location of the lesion. in our recommended technique, subdermal fatty excision attached to the lesion, may remain minimal extra skin at the end of skin closure.

Abstract
Introduction: Skin lesions and masses of forehead are challenging topics in the field of reconstruction. Skin grafts and local flaps have significant role in reconstruction of skin defects of forehead. Proper design of flap can save hairline configuration and symmetry of eyebrows.
Case report: A young woman with congenital sebaceous nevus-Jadassohn-wanted to remove this lesion. After excision, there was skin defect of 4 cm diameter. A O to T flap designed and incisions were on bilateral hairline. The defect was covered without any disruption of hairline.
Conclusion: Rotational-advancement flaps are among reliable flaps in reconstruction of forehead skin defects. O to T flap belongs to this category which is effective in traumatic patients and reconstruction following tumor resections.
