Porous polyethylene is a thermoplastic synthetic with a pore size ranging from about 100 micron to 200 micron. In addition to other materials, it is used for alloplastic replacement of auditory ossicles. Experimental and clinical experience…

Traditional teaching on blepharoplasty surgery emphasizes the existence of several discrete fat compartments in the upper and lower lids. Surgical techniques are based upon removal of fat from each of the two or three so-called compartments…

161 patients treated with septoplastic operations for nasal stenosis were examined 25-64 months postoperatively. Surgery was inadequate in 32 cases (20%); in 23 this was due to the septum operation itself, in 9 to unsatisfactory or no corre…

Treatment of the protruding fat pads in the lower blepharoplasty is a problem for most surgeons performing this procedure. The problems usually encountered are reviewed, the lid anatomy discussed, and a method of correcting the defect witho…

This article describes a simple, one-stage procedure to reconstruct breasts following radical and subcutaneous mastectomy by using subcutaneous placement of Natural-Y prostheses (polyurethane-covered, gel-filled implants with an internal Y-…

A simple technique for correction of a gummy smile by partially transecting the levator labii superioris, the major lip elevator, and decreasing its cephalic excursion using an implant spacer is presented. Results are given for 21 patients,…

The authors emphasize the importance of the extramucosal approach to the septum and the cartilaginous and bony vault in the correction of the crooked nose, for elongation of the pig-snout nose with retracted tip, and for closure of septal p…

The use of chondromucosal grafts is the classical treatment for reconstruction of the eyelids, whereas these grafts are less employed for correction of tarso-conjunctival scars due to either disease or surgery. The ideal nasal graft is the …

Supra-tarsal depression after enucleation is a frequent occurrence, and many surgical methods have been applied to correct this anomaly, which results from the relative smallness of the implant, and its downward migration. As subperiosteal …

A follow-up study was conducted of implants used to replace the anterior septal cartilage. The implants used were (1) the cartilaginous septum after correction, (2) parts of the bony septum (when it was impossible to use the cartilaginous s…

Most descriptions of the skin-muscle flap lower lid blepharoplasty, the so-called McIndoe technique, indicate dissection of the flap in a cephalad-to-caudad direction from near the ciliary margin toward the bony orbital rim. However, this r…

Blindness associated with cosmetic blepharoplasty is a rare but real occurrence. Thorough ophthalmic and medical preoperative screening of patients and minimal gentle orbital surgery are necessary to decrease the incidence of this tragic co…

The first descriptions of facial injuries, especially about hurts of the nose, their diagnosis and their treatment are found in the writings of the old cultures. There are already corresponding references in the Papyrus Edwin Smith and in t…

Following satisfactory experiences in the treatment of abscesses of the nasal septum, preserved rib cartilage without its perichondrium was used in the immediate reconstruction of the pinna following the excision of all diseased cartilage a…

A new modification of the transseptal, transsphenoidal approach to the sella turcica is described. The procedure consists of unilateral dissection of the septal mucosa through a sublabial route, and retraction of the entire nasal septum wit…

We used a simple procedure to correct retraction of the lower eyelid after blepharoplasty. Through a lateral canthotomy skin incision, the retracting layer of tissue within the lower eyelid at the level of the orbital septum is lysed and th…

The presence of a lateral fat pad beneath the orbicularis muscle, which overlies the lateral orbital rim, is described in patients who have marked bagginess of the upper lid and a bulky hood of tissue extending well beyond the lateral canth…

A simple surgical procedure for reconstruction of the uterus from available Müllerian bulbs with simultaneous vaginoplasty is described. The Müllerian bulbs on both sides are incised, and suitable central fibromuscular tissue is excised to …

Horses' kicks can produce two types of head and neck injuries: injuries of the mid-face and injuries of the larynx. Typical cases as seen by the author are presented. The treatment of mid-face injuries is performed according to principles o…

The technique for upper lid blepharoplasty is presented, which emphasizes the creation of a concave, high supratarsal fold by removal of existing preaponeurotic fat pads, excision of a strip of preseptal orbicularis fibers, and portion of t…
