摘要:

This paper explains a new way of a temporary splitting of the lower jaw and the reconstruction of the tongue and the floor of the mouth. The described way of the temporary splitting of the lower jaw allows to maintain the nerve and results in better suppositions for the reposition and osteosynthesis. For the reconstruction of the tongue and the floor of the mouth, an island flap is recommended. The flap consists of the musculus sternocleidomastoideus, pedicled inferiorly in its cranial part with skin. The skin taking extends over the insertion of the muscle up to the beginning of the hairy part. With this flap it is possible to cover even large defects in the floor of the mouth and its taking does scarcely bother the patient. Thus, in many cases the flap gives the suppositions to maintain the lower jaw.

摘要:

It has been shown that two different kinds of modification are able to improve Meyer’s operation after subtotal or total ablation of the lower lip. Either a flap taken from the top of the tongue or the Estlander-Abbé’s triangular flap can be used in the intention of widening the new lip and consequently avoiding an excess of tension o

摘要:

The authors stress the dangers presented by windshield fragments of tempered glass to soft parts of the cervicofacial region, in cases of traffic accidents. With the aid of seven recent clinical observations, the difficulties in emergency surgical treatment, late complications due to the persistence of foreign bodies, and permanent facial mutilations are successively discussed.

摘要:

A case of traumatic rupture of the aorta due to a foreign body in the esophagus is presented. After extraction of the foreign body and chemotherapy there was a rapid recovery. Thereafter, the patient died from a recurrent hematemesis. Two factors have produced the aortic lesion: the sharp edge of the foreign body (which probably provoked a superficial lesion of the aortic wall), and the diffuse mediastinitis (which provoked a necrosis of the aortic lesion).

摘要:

The scintigraphy of salivary glands with technetium-99m pertechnetate is predisposed to be an excellent test for evaluating salivary gland function. But the absence of a sufficiently precise and simple quantitative analysis procedure of the technetium uptake has reduced its clinical use. For this reason, the authors propose a new and quick method: the quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy. With an uptake index (ratio of technetium uptake between the glandular tissue and a cervical reference) they get precise quantitative information on functional activity. Among other applications, the test allows to make within a few minutes, in a case of xerostomia, the differential diagnosis between Sjögren syndrome and sialosis

摘要:

This study compares, in the field of oto-rhino-laryngology, the xerography (a radiographic method recently introduced in the Cantonal Hospital of Geneva) with conventional radiography. In spite of the quantity of irradiation which is by far superior, the xerography, with its larger field of information and with its sharpness of outlines, permits a more precise topographic diagnosis, particularly as far as the pharyngolarynx is concerned.
