Areola-nipple perception threshold to faradic electricity: a new measure of sensibility of the breasts.
[BACKGROUND] We describe a new method to study the sensibility of the nipple-areola complex of the breast with faradic electricity delivered through an electromyographic device used to monitor peripheral nerve conduction. [METHODS] The obj…

Progressive tension sutures in the prevention of postabdominoplasty seroma: a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial.
[BACKGROUND] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the seroma reduction capabilities of progressive tension sutures and compare them with the conventional use of drains. [METHODS] Sixty female patients were randomized into four groups:…

Implications of transaxillary breast augmentation: lifetime probability of breast cancer development and sentinel node mapping interference.
After the "fifth-generation" breast implants with ultracohesive silicone gel technology are introduced, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will sooner or later retire the ban on the use of these devices in the United States. When this h…

Abdominoplasty: the use of polypropylene mesh to correct myoaponeurotic-layer deformity.
The aponeurotic layer is a very important element to consider during abdominoplasty. For most patients, a simple midline plication is enough to obtain good results. However, for in patients with severe aponeurotic laxity, some other maneuve…

A simple, direct correction of the constricted ear.
A simple approach to correct the constricted ear is described using a V-Y advancement to lengthen the periphery. Then through a posterior incision, an anterior exposure allows the creation of cartilaginous folds with scoring and sutures und…
