Nevertheless, we could be inspired by several elements (rotation in private practice,grouping together several academic hospitals. . .) to improve our system of training.

Few free flaps such as free temporoparietal flap are adequate. It provides moderate donor scar and unique range of motion for tendinous coverage. We expose three cases of hand reconstruction: two dorsal coverage with tendinous exposition and reconstruction and one thumb coverage. The postoperative results were satisfactory concerning hands. One patient developed alopecia and dysesthesis on scalp. We think that this flap is a good alternative for serratus free fascial flap.

We use a longitudinal surgical approach to avoid the radial nerve lesions. Le Viet procedure using the palmar flap of the pulley fixed to the dermis works as a barrier and maintains the tendons sliding on the radial styloid groove.

Scalp lift must be effective all over the different areas of the scalp. The scalp flaps must have a reliable vascularisation. Combined incisions of the galea help to treat the residual folds. The excision pattern must be reproductible, as this disease is progressive.

Skin of variable thickness and size is completely detached from its origin (donor site) to cover a defect (recipient site). This simple procedure is the result of a long and eventful technical and theoretical evolvement. The aim of this article is to retrace the history of skin grafting, from its discovery until today.

With this simple and versatile technique, wide and complex eyelid repairs can be managed in a one-step surgery. This procedure is very reliable; it gives good functional and aesthetical results. Hübner's technique is a major tool in eyelid reconstructive surgery.

The authors present two cases of penoscrotal elephantiasis operated following Ouzilleau's technique. This pathology is characterized by his painless, that the reason of a long time evolution and hence in consultation. Filariosis is the common etiology in tropical area. In our cases, the aetiology is unknown. Scrotal and penis elephantiasis is responsible of aesthetic and functional embarrassment.

Arterial supply to the flap comes from the posterior interosseous artery, which gives off several cutaneous branches. This flap is most often used with its distal pedicle as its artery presents anastomoses with the anterior interosseous artery and the dorsal arterial carpal network. However, its dissection is often difficult because of anatomical variants and is not reliable in case of traumatic history at the distal forearm. A case is reported where no posterior interosseous pedicle was found and the flap was subsequently transferred as a free flap supplied by a perforat...

One hunderd patients operated between 2003 and 2007 were reexamined. In every case, the intervention was performed by the same operator (Pr Tropet) using the same technique. The average postoperation time range was 2 years (from 8 months to 5 years). The interview's minutes were formalized via a revisions sheet, including medical files, photos, and pre- and postoperative measures. Complications (hematoma, infection, necrosis, suture disunion, thromboembolic disease) were reported in 16 % of the cases.

Considering a young patient case, the authors expose a rare complication of lipofilling: deterioration of the aesthetic results after a significative weight gain due to corticosteroids, oral contraception and a change of lifestyle. Lipofilling is an adipocyte graft realised after centrifugation of liposuction products. Thus, the increasing volume of the fat graft remains hypertrophic and hyperplasic theories.

Its bone's base, essentially formed by the maxilla and the zygoma, shows an orbital edge whose projection is not flat and offers an integration to the arcus marginalis. The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM), wide muscular sheet, is held by several ligamentary structures, one of which is the orbicularis retaining ligament (ORL), peripheric around the orbit and by malar septa. The two layers of fat, one superficial and one deep, are split by the OOM. The deep malar fat pad (or suborbicularis oculi fat pad [SOOF]) is compact with the tracti that cover it and acts as a syssarcosis. The superficial malar fat pad is thick and divided by retinaculi cutis. It acts as a buffer zone in the interorific...

Ageing process analysis, with the help of CT scan and MRI, confirm the validity of the Face recurve((R)) concept: the repetition of the contraction of certain fascicles of the mimic muscles is responsible for the deep fat diminution. For the first time, two fascicles of the orbicularis oculi muscle, malar part, are demonstrated to cause the recession of the inferior orbital rim and of the mid part of the malar bone. Medical and surgical indications are differenciated, depending on the palpebral and midface skin excess.

The ageing becomes obvious through the autonomization of all the anatomical subunits of the midface and particularly the appearance of the limits of these areas. It seems that the loss of volume is not global but area-dependant. The modifications of the lid aperture highlights the same process and seams to be induced by both the orbicularis oculi muscle action and the modifications of these lid-tissues. The author proposes practical conclusions to these observations.

The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that there are at least two types of subcutaneous fat; one is "metabolic" and diet sensitive and another genetic which is diet resistant. The distribution of subcutaneous fats is also determined by genetic factors, and its study led to the description of segmental syndromes whose distribution and evolution were studied in women in our environment. It seems that no fundamental studies have been made on these two types of fat. We think there is also a genetic programming of our weight which varies with age.

The various options of vertical facelift of the average third of the face in general require a temporal or temporofrontal approach. The technique of suspension of the orbicularis oculi muscle within the framework of a blepharoplasty of the four eyelids, described by Adamson in the USA and conveyed by Botti in Europe, allows a treatment of the ageing of the eyelids and a vertical rise of the malar area. This muscular suspension ensures a solidity in the fixing of soft tissues, authorizing a cutaneous section higher than that authorized in a traditional blepharoplasty. It does not require any orbital perished osseous gesture. The operational continuations are comp...

They use three purse-string sutures. The anchor points are within the deep temporal fascia. Sagging facial soft tissues are suspended with this loop. This procedure needs only local anesthesia. The postoperative following is simple. The results are natural and interesting. We analyse this technique and its efficiency in the medial part of the face.

Combined with a forehead flap, this aesthetic approach allows for reconstruction of the center of the face layer-by-layer and facial unit by facial unit. Specific attention is paid to the artistic creation of normal nasal dimensions, proportion, and form using carved and assembled cartilage grafts and by secondary subcutaneous contouring. In addition, this technique produces a patent airway.

No donor site morbidity is present; in fact some secondary benefits are observed thanks to the correction of eventual disgraceful lipodystrophies. These secondary benefits strengthen patient compliance improving iterative procedures tolerance. Lack of available adipose tissue and high breast volume are the major morphological limits of the technique. In our experience, fat transfer appears to be a promising technique for breast reconstruction. Long term results still have to be evaluated before it can become a standard.

This procedure has become popular with plastic surgery patients because physical discomfort and cosmetic concerns are virtually always combined. Demand for this procedure is becoming common amongst very young patients who appear to have nurtured a complex since their early adolescent years, disturbing their love life. There are several possible corrective surgical techniques, the postoperative courses of which vary significantly. The traditional method (longitudinal resection) remains the most widely used, but requires resection of the larger part of the labia minora, which is why in our opinion the V plasty technique seems more appropriate.

In the conventional technique, the flaps are transposed first by anchoring the tips and then by performing the other sutures. In this order, the tips are subjected to a high degree of tension. Again, according to the conventional technique, perpendicular incisions are performed along the tips, which do not ensure the effective vascularisation of the tips in this context of postburn scarring tissue with loss of dermal blood flow.

They compare the results obtained by this technique on the breast (projection, breast-feeding) and on the nipple-areola complex (sensibility, pigmentation, nipple projection), with those obtained by the Thorek technique (free nipple grafting). The authors show that this technique is reliable for such breasts hypertrophies, with good esthetics results, and avoid free nipple grafting.

The social handicap due to this lipodystrophy increase the demand of surgical correction. The usual treatment is the Lipostructure((R)) described by Coleman. The hypertrophy is one of the complications which can occur after a correction by Lipostructure((R)). This complication is different from the overcorrection by the free time before his appearance. The treatment by liposuction is possible but there is a high risk of recurrence. The best treatment, after the literature review, seems to be the direct excision.

TEA are rare (only 74 cases have been described in the literature) and their handling is complex. The surgeon's objective is to obtain the best cosmetic result without demolishing the auricular area in order to allow future ear reconstruction in case of replantation failure. Many techniques of ear replantation have been described in the literature during the last 30 years: microsurgical replantation, pocket techniques and reattachment techniques. Microsurgical replantation should be achieved every time it is possible. When it is not possible, the surgeon can choose between ear reattachm...

The low ligation of the artery during neck dissection does not jeopardize the survival (rich regional anastomoses). The FAMM flap makes up for the loss of medium size substance, it represents a very good solution between directed healing and more consistent skin flaps.

However, brachioplasty still raises the problem of its scars, necessary mostly in the longitudinal axis. Most of the described techniques are with a medial scar. The author's purpose is to show, with a five years follow-up, the reasons of its choice of a postero-medial scar: ease of installation of both arms in the same operative field, the better scar quality than in the medial localization and finally because it is comparatively the least visible under several incidences: not only anterior and posterior in abduction but also posterior in adduction.

Seven patients were seen again in our out-patient department and the nine others (one was lost for follow-up) agreed to answer our questionnaire on the phone. RESULTS AND COMMENTS: The high proportion of female in our study is due to the high prevalence of female alcoholism in Northern France. Indeed, all patients were alcoholic but eight were deprived at the time of the first consultation. Mean age for the beginning of the disease was 48. Mean delay between the first signs and our medical and surgical c...

It is repeated with a gap, so that the hematoma does not disturb its interpretation. Surgical indication is definite for active adults. Parietal prosthetic strengthening, bone inserted between two muscular levels, avoid late loosening. It has no immediate mechanical value, which is secured by abdominal girdle during healing.

It forms part of the group of the vascular tumours in the classification of international society for vascular anomalies (ISSVA). Usual surgical attitude is abstention and surgery is proposed only in order to treat sequelae. But some particular situations require early surgery to avoid functional impairment, deformation or growth delay due to the lesion's development.

Between 2003 and 2005, 10 free-flaps were performed in 10 patients who were aged 70 years or older. One flap underwent reexploration, for an overall success rate of 100%. Medical complications in the postoperative period were further evaluated. Effects of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status, operation time, and age on complication rate were evaluated. Only ASA status was significant for the occurrence of postoperative medical complications; class 3 and 4 patients were at higher risk than class 1 and 2. Neither operation time nor age was predictive of postoperative complications. Microvascular free-tissue transfer is a safe and reliable option in the eld...

Mucormycosis is an opportunist fungic infection due to mushrooms of the group of the mucorales present in the environment. There are various clinical forms of the disease; it occurs in general on a defective predisposed ground. The diagnosis rests on the mycologic and anatomopathologic examination. The therapeutic approach must be multidisciplinary; on the precocity of the treatment depends the vital and functional forecast.

It can be done during the primary or secondary breast reconstruction or later. We have performed the techniques of nipple reconstruction routinely since 1992. Under local anesthesia during a second operative time or general anesthesia during breast reconstruction, the local "F" and "Z" skin flaps and tattooing grant a quality result in the wound and the long-term projection. They are easily reproduced, rapid and as there is no graft the choice of the incisions grants a good tolerance.

We present the case of a thirteen-year-old lady with neurofibromatosis type 1 who developed a dystrophic thoracic kyphoscoliosis. A T9 compression due to a severe scaloping of the thoracic spine caused an important deformation and a medullar compression (with dorsal pain, right sciatica and a pyramidal syndrome). The surgery consisted in medullar liberation by a T9-T10 corporectomy and an osteosynthesis with arthrodesis T3-L3. A free vascularized fibula bone graft, with an end-to-end anastomosis on a thoracic pedicle, was realized to fill the T8-T11 spinal defect. All the symptoms decreased after surgery and the patient could walk normally few months later. At one-year fol...
