摘要:

The optic nerve can be injured indirectly by blunt trauma to the frontoorbital region. The mechanism of injury is related to trauma of the nerve in the tight, bony optic canal. Neurovisual transmission in the canal is interrupted by pressure on the nerve. The conventional management includes careful observation and supportive treatment. Recent interest in this unique clinical problem has prompted the development of new techniques to decompress the injured optic canal extracranially; these approaches have produced encouraging results. Another dividend of the method has been the mapping of the optic nerve region under magnification using the operating room microscope. Any gain of vision, partial or complete, is well appreciated by the patient and the physician.

摘要:

The neurosurgical treatment of acromegaly is well established, but little has been written about correction of the facial deformities of this disease. Although hypertrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissues may decrease after successful treatment of the pituitary tumor, there is no reversal of the bony changes. An acromegalic patient is presented whose facial deformities were repaired in stages by mandibular osteotomy and soft tissue excision. The history and pathology of acromegaly are reviewed.

摘要:

Basal cell adenoma of the parotid gland is infrequently seen and rarely documented in the American literature. A case history is presented to emphasize its occurrence in older men and to discuss its pathological appearance. A review of the literature shows that superficial conservative parotidectomy is the treatment of choice because the lesion is considered benign.

摘要:

Commercially available bridal veil nylon (BVN) in 2.0-, 3.0-, and 4.0− mm hexagonal mesh is being used as a sterile dressing for burns and many surgical problems. BVN appears to promote more rapid reepithelialization of granulating burn wounds than other dressings. I suggest that the BVN mesh provides a “trellis effect,” acting as a supporting structure across which, or over which, epithelium will grow more raidly than it would without the dressing. Photographic studies illustrating this effect are included.

摘要:

Exact knowledge of breast size can be very helpful in many reconstructive procedures, including augmentation mammaplasty and reconstruction after radical mastectomy. We have devised a quick, accurate, dry, versatile method for measuring breast size which can be utilized preoperatively, intraoperatively, or postoperatively.

摘要:

Malignant melanoma can be diagnosed at an early biological stage when relatively simple excisional surgery carries a remarkably good prognosis. For this to happen requires good public education, so that patients are aware of the potential danger of any change in a mole, and good professional education, so that physicians of first contact are alert to the possibility of melanoma in these patients.
