PECTORALIS MAJOR FLAP FOLLOWING RADICAL PAROTIDECTOMY

This man required a radical parotidectomy for mucoepidermoid carcinoma. A pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was tthen used to close the defect. He is now receiving radiation.

RETINOBLASTOMA

 This little child had a fast growing mass in the left orbit. We did an enucleation and the pathology showed retinoblastoma. The child is about to start chemotherapy and later, perhaps, radiation as well. Charlotte Jacobs, MD, at Stanford University, has been helping with post surgical treatment recommendation.

TRAM FLAP FOR FUNGATING BREAST CANCER

This delightful lady had a fungating breast cancer. She received 3 courses of chemotherapy followed by radical mastectomy. Ten days after surgery, Dr. Mishack Akunekwe and I performed a TRAM Flap. She is discharged home and doing well. Of course, she probably is not cured but her quality of life is astonishingly better. She will no longer have the smelly mass attached to her and be a pariah in her village.
