摘要:

Plastic surgery has progressed beyond the skill of filling holes to the art of reconstructing aesthetically. The reconstructive surgeon's creed sets the ultimate goal at the ideal normal and, with the aid of the basic plastic surgical techniques of advancement, rotation, transposition, free groft, pedicte transportation, microvascular anastomosis, and Silastic implantation, takes what is present in excess or what is expendable to make what is desirable. Surgical results depend on the imaginative choice of these methods and the meticulous craftsmanship of ther execution, considering selection of donor area, use of landmarks, and building in regional units. These principles are universally applicable, as shown in the neck, the lip, the nose, and the breast.

摘要:

All techniques utilized for meloplasty procedures undermine the skin of the face and pull the tissues up and back, placing the incisions in the least obvious locations while obtaining the best support of the tissues. There has been considerable variation in opinion, however, as to the value of the support of deeper tissues, of running or interrupted skin sutures and buried sutures, of division and support of the platysma, and of related procedures to be carried out at the same or subsequent operative stages. These auxillary procedures, including the upper and lower blepharoplasty, submental lipectomy, mentoplasty, inoplasty, forehead or brow lift, and surgical abrasion or peel of areas of wrinkling, can be of definite additional value in improving the patient's appearance.

摘要:

Controlled experimentation using dogs has demonstrated that free nerve-end insertion into a denervated muscle that has lost its motor nerve at the point of entry into that muscle can sprout axons at its implanted end to unite with neuromuscular endplates, either preexisting or new, and result in a functioning muscle. Clinical applications can be found in the treatment of facial paralysis and traumatically induced avulsions of large muscles.

摘要:

The cleft lip nasal deformity is a result of imbalance of the structures caused by a collapsed alar cartilage, a widened nostril floor, and a lowered nasal orifice. This deformity can be corrected most readily by repositioning and supporting the collapsed alar cartilage of the cleft side. A technique has been developed to achieve this by releasing the ala from the nasolabial fold, elevating and supporting the alar cartilage, and repositioning the alar rim on its new deepithelialized base. One-to two-year follow-up of seven patients who underwent such repair has demonstrated satisfactory correction of the deformity.

摘要:

Prevention of postexcisional recurrence of the common earlobe keloid has long been an enigma to the surgeon. The increased realization that pressure aids in diminishing hypertrophic burn scars has stimulated us to develop an effective device to control the collagen over-growth frequently occurring after initial keloid excision. Our device is a decorative spring-pressure earring that is applied to the earlobe 2 weeks after excision of the keloid. The patient is instructed to wear the earring for 4 to 6 months. An effective evaluation of this device was carried out through its bilateral use in some patients. The earring was used initially on only 1 ear; when early recurrence was detected in the control ear, application of the device diminished and prevented keloid reformation. This innovation promises to be an important adjunct in the prevention of postexcisional recurrence of earlobe keloids, and the preliminary results are reported with a 12 to 15 month follow-up. Constant light pressure is discussed as an effective means of preventing postexcisional recurrence of thse lesions.
