The initiative outlined in this paper emphasises the importance of a collaborative strategy in managing tongue cancer, involving a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals. This multidisciplinary method integrates the expertise of nurses, allied health workers, and various medical specialists to enhance diagnosis, treatment, and recovery processes for patients. By developing and examining a series of online lectures, this study highlights the critical roles played by each discipline in the comprehensive care pathway, from prevention and early detection to the management of advanced stages of the disease. This approach aims not only to address the clinical aspects of tongue cancer but also to support the overall well-being of patients, showcasing the benefits of teamwork in healthcare settings for improving patient outcomes.
The forehead flap is a widely used pedicled flap for nasal, periorbital and forehead reconstruction. It was first described by the Indian physician Sushruta in 500 BCE,1 making it one of the oldest surgical procedures still in use today.

Arteriovenous loops (AVL) of Corlett are used to provide recipient vessels for complex microsurgical reconstructions in vessel depleted lower limbs. They can be prone to thrombosis, injury during re-dissection, and possible steal phenomenon. We report an approach to improve safety and decrease dissection time in a delayed complex lower limb reconstruction.
Gene therapy is a promising treatment for protein deficiency disorders such as hemophilia B. However, low tissue selectivity and efficacy are limitations of systemic vector delivery. The authors hypothesized that selective transfection of rat superficial inferior epigastric artery flaps could provide systemic delivery of coagulation factor IX, preventing the need for systemic vector administration.
