Abstract: Without any proof, a governmental agency has decreed that Corticotulle® was not enough efficient to be reimbursed by National Health Security. Dealing with treatment of basal cell carcinoma, another governmental agency has published recommendations which even do not follow basic rules of logic. This paper points out that economical and political methods are not scientific or medical ones. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract
Abstract: The lateral brachial flap is a fascio-cutaneus flap. This flap is secured. The functional and cosmetic sequelae are limited. The authors propose in this paper its utilisation as free flap in the reconstruction of facial defects. Thanks to its low morbidity, this free flap may be used in old patients.
