[Value of ultrasound in preoperative exploration of parotid tumors].

Ultrasound image were compared with operative findings and gross pathology and histology appearances in 28 patients with parotid gland tumors (24 benign and 4 malignant). Ultrasound exploration provides precise data on localization, shape, size, outline, homogenicity of tumor contents and position of lesion in relation to pharyngeal wall. Clearly defined ultrasound images were detected in all benign but few malignant tumors, which presented mainly diffuse images. Non-homogeneous density of images, showing presence of intratumoral necrotic zones, was identified in all cases of malignant tumors but very few cases of benign lesions. Ultrasound imaging defines probable nature of a parotid tumor, probability enhanced by combining other exploratory investigations, but provides precise data on physical nature of tumor, of value during surgery.

Treatment of temporo-mandibular ankylosis with particular reference to the interposition of full-thickness skin autotransplant.

In the treatment of the temporo-mandibular ankylosis, the maintainance of separation between the temporal and mandibular raw surfaces, after osteotomy of the bony fusion, constitutes the key to the prevention of recurrence; the great potential of bone to reform is acknowledged by all those who are experienced in this problem. Analysing 168 temporo-mandibular arthoplasties in which different methods have been used in order to maintain the newly created joint space, the causes of failures have been brought out and the difficulties studied. The conclusion is reached that the best results were obtained by the interposition of autogenous full thickness skin. The surgical technique is briefly presented as well as the records regarding the cases followed-up for a period of 2 to 19 years, illustrating the anatomical and functional conservation of the new joints. The experimental investigations concerning the behaviour and fate of the buried skin autotransplants complete the clinical studies, proving the qualities and the value of full thickness skin as an interposition material in arthroplasties.

[Technique of retrograde obturation of the root canal following apical resection].

This technique may be used, for the upper canines and incisors, to provide mechanical treatment and complete obturation of the root canal by shortened Kerr wires. It is not necessary to shorten the length of the root nor to interfere with fixed dentures.

Vertical osteotomy of the ascending rami in mandibular retrognathism.

The authors present their experience and conclusions regarding surgical lengthening of the mandible in retrognathism due to bone hypo-development. Thus, in hypotrophies of the ascending ramus, especially in temporo-mandibular ankylosis, they use a longitudinal osteotomy (Popescu 1949); various technical adaptations of this method, in different situations, are described, as well as their association with osteoplasty, utilizing iliac bone grafts or the hypertrophic chin prominence. In retrognathism due to hypo-development of the mandible, when the ascending rami have a good conformation, sagittal osteotomy (Obwegeser 1957, Dal Pont 1961) is preferred.
