Mammaplasty with Inferior Pedicle Flap After Massive Weight Loss

Conclusion  When compared to the current mammaplasty techniques performed in formerly obese patients, this is a good surgical option because
it uses tissues adjacent to the breast itself and does not require silicone prosthesis for breast augmentation. The patients
reported increased self-esteem and improvement in their quality of life.

Lymphatic drainage of the tongue and the soft palate

Abstract  To understand the lymphatic drainage patterns of the tongue and the soft palate with radiographs and photographs. Tissues
of the tongue, the laryngopharynx, the trachea, and the esophagus from six unembalmed human cadavers were studied. Six percent
hydrogen peroxide was used to find the vessels. They were injected with a radio-opaque mixture, dissected, photographed, and
radiographed. Final results were transferred to a computer for analysis. Four collecting lymphatic vessels were found. They
are apical draining into the submandibular and/or submental nodes, anterolateral draining into the submandibular node, posterolateral
draining into the submandibular and/or subdigastric nodes, and pharyngeal branches draining into the subdigastric node. The
lymph vessels of t…

Reconstruction of the Nasal Septum Using Perforated and Unperforated Polydioxanone Foil [Original Article]

Conclusions  Synthetic materials are a useful alternative to autologous tissues during reconstruction of the nasal septum. To our knowledge, we present the largest single-center series of septal reconstructions using unperforated and perforated polydioxanone foils—shown to be useful in the correction of complex septal deformity. However, the unperforated form seems to be associated with a significant risk of postoperative saddling, and we warn against its use in this context. No such complications were observed with the use of thin, 0.15-mm perforated polydioxanone foil, which we exclusively recommend for this application. The use of this implant warrants further evaluation. (Source: Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery)
