The reconstruction of defects involving up to 2/3 of the lip extension is challenging, considering the functional and aesthetic importance of this structure. There are several surgical techniques described for this purpose, highlighting the Abbé-Estlander flap, the Karapandzic flap, and the Bernard-Burrow- Webster flap. The choice of the best approach should consider the size and location of the defect as well as the comorbidities of the patient. The reverse Yu flap is an alternative to be considered in relation to other methods, allowing obtaining excellent cosmetic-functional results in general.

Pincer nail is an acquired or hereditary nail deformity, which manifests as a transverse hypercurvature of the nail plate, especially in its distal portion, causing compression of the nail bed, which can provoke pain with functional disability, as well as secondary infections. Conservative treatment is associated with high recurrence rates, so surgical reconstruction is generally necessary. Four exemplary clinical cases of different corrective options of the pincer nail are described.
