Observations on orbitofrontal rhytidectomy.

We describe a combined procedure of mobilization of the orbitofrontal flap, which involves passing through a subgaleal plane in the posterior region, corresponding to a portion of the scalp, and subcutaneously in the anterior frontal and orbital region. The galea, in the shape of an albatross wing, is irrigated via the distal parts of the temporal vessels. The flap lies free of the frontal muscle and the suprazygomatic aponeurotic sheath, thus allowing a broad shifting space for the replacement of each part in a manner that is both anatomically and artistically satisfactory. This technique avoids lesions of the frontal and orbicularis branches as well as alopecia, both the surgical kind and that caused by traction.

Muscular plastic for aesthetic conformation of abdominal girdle.

Two techniques of waist reduction which utilize the external oblique abdominis muscle are described. The first method superimposes the external oblique abdominis muscle, and involves making an incision in the muscle inside the anterosuperior iliac spine, continuing obliquely upward toward the midaxillar line, lifting the flap by its deep side. The technique is completed by crossing and superimposing each muscle lamina over the other. The second method creates a muscle belt by lifting the external oblique abdominis muscle and an aponeurotic muscle flap from the area deep to the superoanterior iliac spine as an upper pedicle. The remaining ends, separated from the muscle, are approximated to each other and sutured. The aponeurotic muscle flaps are carried forward to be crossed and superimposed in the midline under the umbilicus as a belt.

Plastic incisions for facial and neck tumors.

We review various incisions for treatment of tumors of the face and parotid and submaxillary regions, as well as for radical neck surgery. A contribution to this field is made in the form of facial and cervical incisions that not only provide broad exposure of the region affected by the tumor, but also involve incision traces based on plastic surgery criteria. In this respect, we describe plastic modeling of the facial, submaxillary, and neck contours, resorting to the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
