[Microtia. Reconstruction by Brent's technique].

Personally trained by Burt Brent, the author reports her experience based on 143 total reconstructions of the external ear, 92 of which were performed to correct microtia. The principles of the technique and the refinements introduced by Burt Brent are described. After analysing the various clinical features of microtia, the author presents the results which demonstrate the considerable contribution of this technique to total reconstruction of the external ear.

[Lymphoedema of the upper limb following surgery or radiotherapy. Investigation by indirect radioactive lymphography (author's transl)].

Indirect radioactive isotope lymphography using intravenous 99 m Tc-labelled colloidal antimony sulfide was performed on 76 patients with lymphoedema of the upper limb consecutive to surgery or radiotherapy. The time required to reach 50% of maximum radioactivity was taken as index of the lymphatic flow rate, and the patients were divided into 3 groups depending upon the index (< 20 min; 20-60 min; > 60 min). It appears that in huge lymphoedemas the lymphatic flow rate index may remain subnormal, owing to associated veno-occlusive oedema. This non-invasive method provides data on the site and, frequently, on the nature and importance of lymph blockade. It might also help to predict the efficacy of a new drug currently under study.

[Radiological implications of iatrogenic complications in neo-natal surgery (author's transl)].

The authors report 17 cases of iatrogenic complications occurring during the neonatal period over an interval of 5 years in a surgical service. Such complications concern the radiologist, either in their cause or their discovery. These cases are taken together with findings reported in the literature and lead the authors to draw conclusions with regard to the practical management of certain examinations in the neonatal period and the radiological surveillance of the newborn in a surgical department.

[Sub-adventitial traumatic rupture of the left renal artery (author's transl)].

On the basis of two cases of sub-adventitial traumatic rupture of the left renal artery, as well as data from the literature, the authors indicate the relative poverty of clinical signs of traumatic rupture of the renal arteries. They stress the value of early intravenous pyelography in lumbar trauma, with immediate arteriography in the presence of a non-functioning kidney, making conservative surgery possible.
