[Transposition of the temporal muscle and surgery of the middle third of the face. Technic, indications and results].

The authors reemploy the technique using the temporal muscle to fill in large surgical cavities after tumoral surgery of the middle 1/3 of the face. The purpose of this technique is to prevent crust formation after radiotherapy, and to improve esthetic results by preventing further cutaneous retraction. They expose their own technique, the results and the indications from 8 cases.

[Pitfalls of extracapsular thyroid surgery].

The usual landmarks of thyroid surgery are often altered with a goiter. The surrounding tissue may also be subject to variation. Different anomalies the surgeon may encounter are presented along with their management: the recurrent nerve, the external laryngeal nerve, the parathyroids and an intrathoracic goiter. Each case of thyroid surgery must be considered individually, and the ENT surgeon must devote particular attention to assure perfect postoperative vocal cord function.
