The free jejunal flap is a reliable and innovative tool in the particularly complex situation of a segmental oesophageal loss. It should be considered in similar cases to reconstruct oesophageal continuity or to treat stricture and fistula formations.

Reconstruction of the nose using distant pedicle flaps has been done for centuries, even before local or general anesthesia existed. Initially in the West(meaning Europe) the favored method was the Tagliacozzi flap described around 1600 in Italy. This flap raised a pedicle on the inner arm, which was used to reconstruct the nose. It became known as the Italian flap.

Bien que notre courte série ne permette pas de conclusion définitive, nous pensons qu'au niveau des séquelles de l'ulcère de Buruli à la main, ce sont les lambeaux à distance et non loco-régionaux qui sont les plus indiqués du fait de l'évolutivité régionale de la maladie et de la nécessité de préserver les principaux axes vasculaires au niveau de la main.
