Background Data: Recurrent lumbar disc herniation means re-herniation of disc on the same site and at the same level where a previous discectomy had been performed: recurrent lumbar disc herniation occurs in 7% to 24% of patient underwent discectomy. Tow mean surgical options after reherniated lumbar disc are revision discectomy alone or revision discectomy with fusion discectomy alone in recurrent lumbar disc herniation may not be an efficient treatment without fusion. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of revision discectomy with fusion in management of recurrent lumbar disc. Study Design: Retrospective study reviewed all patient underwent revision discectomy with fusion, they were 40 patients operated for recurrent lumbar disc from
Background: Local facial flaps are frequently used reconstructive option and are carrying very good outcome as regard matching, texture, and less scarring. This study was designed retrospectively to evaluate the flap survival and aesthetic outcome of the three commonly used local facial flaps. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of 175 patients whom were managed by local fasciocutanous flap reconstruction using advancement flap, nasolabial flap, and forehead flap. Results: Total flap survivals. Of 80 patients of advancement flaps 8 showed flap edge dehiscence, but all healed conservatively. Of 10 flaps underwent transposition local flaps in the nose, no any flap shows dehiscence. Of 52 nasolabial flaps, 2 showed dehiscence and of 33 forehead flaps, one showed dehiscence. All flaps were survived without any complications and V-Y advancement flaps were carried out the best aesthetic outcome. Conclusion: Local face flaps for reconstruction of post malignancy facial defects are carrying a sensational survival, however advancement flap carries the best aesthetic outcome.

Study Design: Retrospective study reviewed all patient treated by lumber interbody fusion with transpedicular fixation with rod screw system. Patients and Methods: They were 40 patients operated for lumber and lumbosacral spondylolisthesis from
