[Treatment of congenital facial paralysis with crossed innervation of facial nerve and electric field stimulation].

Congenital facial palsy is a devastating deformity. At present time there are no reports of the early treatment of this disorder. The treatment may be to supply contralateral auto reinnervation to the affected muscles through a sural-facial nerve graft enhanced by electric field stimulation. The purpose of this paper is to report 5 cases of congenital facial palsy treated by a crossed sural-facial nerve graft, enhanced by electric field stimulation. One year after surgery, clinical and electrodiagnostic examinations indicate appropriate reinnervation activity in all the patients.

Lateral canthoplasty to change the eye slant.

A technique is described to modify eyelid slanting and correct excessive scleral show. The anatomic relations of the canthal ligament with the fibrous supporting structures of the eyelid are discussed. The procedure is indicated in aesthetic surgery, in congenital anomalies, and in sequelae of trauma.

Combined report of problems and complications in 793 craniofacial operations.

We report the experiences in 6 major craniofacial centers, with similar teams but in different parts of the world, in a total of 793 craniofacial operations. The mortality rate was 1.6%. Complications developed in 16.5% of the cases (including infections in 4.4%). This surgery has many potential advantages, not least of which is its psychosocial effects on previously disfigured patients. Certain problems seem inherent, however, for there are not yet any satisfactory solutions to them. Some of the factors that reduce morbidity and improve results include the use of hypotensive anesthesia, a reduction in operating time, rigid stabilization of the mobilized bones at the end of the operation, a diminution in the number of incisions, and extensive antibiotic therapy.

Advancement of the orbits and the midface in one piece, combined with frontal repositioning, for the correction of Crouzon's deformities.

We describe the use of radical craniofacial osteotomies, to improve the correction of exorbitism and to obtain better esthetic results in children with Crouzon's syndrome. We suggest some minor modifications to improve the fixation and the mechanical stability of the mobilized segments of the skull. Our procedure consists, essentially, of advancement of both orbits and the midface in one piece, plus advancement and reshaping of the frontal area. The results obtained by this technique, in children with a Crouzon's deformity without open bite, have been most satisfactory. We believe the satisfactory resultant appearance will be maintained during and after growth of the face, although these children have not been followed long enough yet to ascertain this with certainty.

The coronal incision in rhytidectomy--the brow lift.

Rhytidectomy is not a routine procedure applicalbe to all patients. Variations of technique must be chosen for each individual case. Integral correction of the face is important and brow-lifting must often be done. Our criteria for selecting the coronal incision for the brow-lift are discussed and the surgical techniques are described in detail. Results are analyzed and a simple method for evaluation is presented.
