Mammary augmentation in a community hospital by a general surgeon: results and treatment of encapsulation.

One hundred females underwent mammary augmentation for cosmetic reasons. All operations were performed under general anesthesia through a para-areolar incision. All of the patients were pleased with the results, although 7% developed excessive scar contracture or encapsulation. Two patients were operated upon again, and both re-encapsulated. A closed compression technique for rupturing the capsule was then applied to all seven, with rupture of the capsule and return to a normal breast consistency. Even the group with encapsulation stated that they were generally pleased with the augmentation.

One-stage cure of infected pilonidal cysts.

Twenty-five patients with infected pilonidal cysts were treated by wide incision and drainage with curettage of the cyst lining. Twice-daily peroxide irrigations and permanent hair removal were advocated. General anesthesia was used in all but three patients. These also represented the only recurrences. Two of these had an inadequate initial surgical incision.
