In addition to many technical refinements during the past decade, plastic surgery has made particular advances through the use of microsurgery, in the control of burn wound infection, by the use of implantable silicones, in the correction o…

In a series of patients who underwent closed rupture of fibrous capsules surrounding mammary prostheses, 3 patients developed hematomas or rupture of the implant, with or without infection. These complications and their management are discu…

The authors report their experience in the surgical treatment of 78 patients with lop, prominent, or protruding ears. Four patients had a unilateral deformity. The procedure used in 110 ears consisted of a cartilage excision-incision and ho…

The purpose of this paper is to review and update the subject of management of scars and lacerations. The surgion who accepts responsibility for management of soft tissue injuries must be aware of fundamental surgical principles as well as …

The deltopectoral flap is a most versatile source of skin coverage or mucosal lining (or both). There is remarkable safety in the use of this flap in relation to its size, and there is only limited need for delay--because it pedicle is an a…

Trauma has become the most common pathologic entity requiring operative intervention in the frontal sinus. Treatment has evolved from simple open drainage to ablation with reconstruction at a later date. Methyl-methacrylate, currently the m…

Twenty-four steel mesh-acrylic plates have been used for repair of skull defects in 1970-73. Three plates had to be removed due to complications, two due to infection and one due to an allergic reaction. The plate is easy to mould, strong, …

After describing the valence of the various possible plastic procedures for covering defects of the skull cap, the results obtained by the authors are presented. In childhood, autografting from the inner layer of the wing of the ilium or fr…

The possibilities for radical craniofacial restructuring have increased dramatically in the past 6 years with the development of craniofacial surgery. The field developed from a background of patients with major craniofacial birth defects a…

The use of Mersilene mesh in reconstruction of the stable walls anterior to the air-containing sinus cavities is emphasized. The basic advantage of the technique employed is the need for tissue covering on only one side of the mesh. Subsequ…

Augmentation mentoplasty, a cosmetic surgical procedure to reshape the contour of the mental area, usually is accomplished with the insertion of autogenous graft or alloplastic implant material. Obtaining autogenous graft material has been …

A viable local flap is not plagued by the problems of resorption and dissolution. If it is to be denuded and buried, however, great care must be taken to select a donor area that is as hairless as possible. Otherwise, there may be cyst form…

Proplast, a self-stabilising alloplastic material, was evaluated in ear surgery and in facial reconstructive surgery. Proplast implants were used on 33 patients to reconstruct the ossicular chain (total or partial ossicular replacement pros…

A long-term study of the fixation and the encapsulation of soft alloplastic implants in rabbits was done-with examination of the capsules at one, 6, 12, and 18 months. No evidence of hematoma, infection, or carcinogenesis was observed. The …

Hitherto implants used after enucleation have generally been extruded because of infection or tissue rejection. Proplast, an inert alloplastic material prepared from a combination of Teflon fluorocarbon polymer and vitreous carbon fibres, i…

Free transplants of hair-bearing scalp as "plugs" or "strips" are an adequate treatment for male alopecia. Cooling the grafts eliminates hematoma and infection and allows successful take and growth of larger plugs. However the result of gra…

The preceding case reports demonstrate the excellent results available to the patient with a retrognathic mandible. Etiology, adverse effects, and the modalities used in evaluation of the underdeveloped mandible have been discussed. The age…
