    Abstract CIED infections are a dreaded complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality and the mainstay of treatment has traditionally been extraction. A recent cohort study suggested that continuous, in situ-targeted, ultrahigh concentrations of antibiotics (CITA) delivered into the CIED pocket may be a viable alternative to extraction in selected cases. We highlight two cases of device perforation which were successfully treated with this technique.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is rapidly evolving. Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the National Centre for Infectious Disease see the majority of confirmed and suspected cases in Singapore. This article describes the impact of COVID-19 on the practice of hand and reconstructive microsurgery (HRM) in our institution. It details our department's response as the situation escalated and the impact on the HRM elective and emergency workload, including the use of personal protective equipment on the surgical practice of HRM, as well as the effects of the condition on social and academic life.

    Abstract Objective: The use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is ubiquitous in the management of complex wounds. Extending beyond the traditional utility of NPWT, it has been used after reconstructive flap surgery in a few case series. The authors sought to investigate the outcomes of NPWT use on flap reconstruction in a case-control study.
    Method: Patients who underwent flap reconstruction between November 2017 and January 2020 were reviewed for inclusion in the study, and divided into an NPWT group and a control group. For patients in the NPWT group, NPWT was used directly over the locoregional flap immediately post-surgery for 4-7 days, before switching to conventional dressings. The control group used conventional dressing materials immediately post-surgery. Outcome measures such as flap necrosis, surgical site infections (SSIs), wound dehiscence as well as time to full functional recovery and hospitalisation duration were evaluated.
    Results: Of the 138 patients who underwent flap reconstruction, 37 who had free flap reconstructions were excluded, and 101 patients were included and divided into two groups: 51 patients in the NPWT group and 50 patients in the control group. Both groups had similar patient demographics, and patient and wound risk factors for impaired wound healing. Results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between flap necrosis, SSIs, wound dehiscence, hospitalisation duration as well as functional recovery rates. Cost analysis showed that the use of NPWT over flaps for the first seven postoperative days may potentially be more cost effective in our setting.
    Conclusion: In this study, the appropriate use of NPWT over flaps was safe and efficacious in the immediate postoperative setting, and was not inferior to the conventional dressings used for reconstructive flap surgery. The main benefits of NPWT over flaps include better exudate management, oedema reduction and potential cost savings. Further studies would be required to ascertain any further benefit.

    Abstract Background: Recently, there has been renewed interest in using the motor nerve to the masseter for facial reanimation. This article aims to identify the ideal segment of the masseter nerve for facial reanimation by mapping its anatomy and studying the axonal count in its branches.
    Methods: Fifteen fresh cadaveric heads with 30 masseter nerves were dissected under the microscope. The masseter muscle was exposed with a preauricular incision, the course of the nerve followed and measurements of the nerve and its branches were taken to identify the topography of the nerve. The nerve was then harvested en bloc, fixed, and axon counts of cross-sections of the nerve recorded with ImageJ (an image analysing software). The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel.
    Results: The masseter consists of 3 discrete muscle layers, and the nerve to the masseter that entered the muscle between the middle and deep layers in all specimens was dissected. The average length of the masseter nerve from the mandibular notch to the last branch was 49.1 ± 10.5 mm. At origin, the nerve diameter was 0.80 ± 0.2 mm and had 1395 ± 447 axons. After the first major branch at a distance of 19.3 to 29.9 mm from the origin, the axon count of the main trunk ranged from 655 to 1025.
    Conclusions: The segment of the masseter nerve which has an axon count of 600 to 800 is located after the first branch of the masseter nerve at a distance of 29.9 ± 7.2 mm from the start of its intramuscular course. Given that an axon count of 600 to 800 approximates that of the zygomatic branch of the facial nerve it is postulated that nerve coaptation at this level is able to produce a clinically satisfactory smile.
