Lorazepam (Ativan) and fentanyl (Sublimaze) for outpatient office plastic surgical anesthesia.

Lorazepam (Ativan) and Fentanyl (Sublimaze) given in small doses during surgery not only achieve excellent intraoperative sedation and patient cooperation, but also significantly reduce recall and recognition of events during the surgery for as long as 3 hours after the surgery. Included is a series of 814 patients in whom this protocol was used between 1981 and 1984 with a 94 percent patient postoperative follow-up. With this protocol there have been no known complications, and patient reactions have been unanimously favorable.

The reverse double-lumen prosthesis--a preliminary report.

The reverse double-lumen implant changes the previous concept of double-lumen implants by using an outer lumen of gel and an inflatable inner lumen. This concept has improved the inflatable prosthesis by eliminating outer shell wrinkling yet maintaining volume adjustability and allowing for a softer breast contour. It also allows for the installation of medication within the implant with ready dispersion into the pocket. I have used these implants exclusively for the past three years. A preliminary report is presented.
