Split earlobe usually results from sudden trauma or continuous use of heavy earrings. Among the various surgical techniques proposed for split earlobe correction, the choice will depend on the existing split, partial or total, and should offer a lower chance of recurrence. The total split corrections may be made with or without preservation of the earring orifi ce. Lobe fixation during intervention is essential, whatever the technique used, and can be done with tongue blade or sterile chalazion clamp. For the surgical procedure, we used Adson clamp, iris scissors, and scalpel blade 11 or 15. Skin suture was done with mononylon 5.0 or 6.0. In the new technique, besides the advantage of maintaining the orifi ce, there is greater security to upport the earring with less chance of recurrence.

Large surgical wounds can be closed using flaps or grafts, which are often difficult to carry out. The double cerclage technique is an effective option for direct – though partial – closure of this type of incision. The technique will be demonstrated using an illustrative case.

The digital myxoid cyst is a benign lesion of controversial origin, usually in the distal phalanx, close to the posterior nail fold. Clinical picture or imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, can help diagnose the condition. It may present with discomfort to patients because it is often painful. There are several possible treatments, such as surgical excision and suturing, with or without grafting, cryotherapy, electrocoagulation, and curettage. However, it presents high recurrence rates. In this paper, we propose a simple, fast, and low-cost method for treating digital myxoid cyst, so far with low recurrence rates.
