The caissons and the foundation.

The article and photographs cover a period of contemporary history spanning fifty years. The author writes from his own experiences with plastic surgeons he met, knew, and worked with. Several of the photographs are the last pictures taken before the subjects' deaths. The brevity of the verbal portraits is governed by space in the journal. Other than microsurgery, craniofacial surgery, free flaps, and lately, liposuction, most of what we do now was known and practiced decades ago.

Congenital absence of the vagina: diagnosis and plastic surgical reconstruction.

Congenital absence of the vagina was repaired in twenty patients; the longest follow-up was seventeen years. The surgical method is described, including the skin graft, the sculpted prosthesis, and the mechanic's waste bolus for retention. The patient must be oriented thoroughly before the operation. Even with an optimum surgical result, full cooperation and psychological preparation are necessary to gain a successful transformation. The phrase "psychiatry with a scalpel" is apt in these cases. Ideally, the operation is performed by a team of plastic surgeon and gynecologist. Meticulous planning and regard for detail are fundamental requirements.
