Analysis in otoplasty.

The normal auricle has a well-recognized shape, and significant deviation from "normal" is immediately evident. In particular, prominent ears are readily apparent and are a relatively frequent cause of patient concern. Correction of the outstanding ear requires a careful understanding of the discrete elements that compose the normal ear. Careful anatomic analysis to determine the precise cause allows appropriate preoperative planning for the correction of a protruding ear.

Endoscopic-assisted reduction of anterior table frontal sinus fractures.

In this study, we examined salvage operations after reexploration in head and neck reconstruction and analyzed ways to solve problems. Free flap reconstruction of the head and neck lesion was carried out for 513 cases in our hospital over the past 12 years. Twenty-one cases of reexploration were caused by postoperative thrombosis (4.1%). We could only salvage seven cases (33.3%) of 21 cases from flap thrombosis. All seven cases were included in the category of venous thrombosis, and they were undertaken within 3 days postoperatively. Our results have shown that once thrombosis occurs, there is little possibility of flap salvage, particularly 3 days after operation and in infectious cases. When no flow phenomena are observed and no flap salvage is deemed possible, aggressive treatment such as a second free flap or next pedicle flap should be chosen as soon as possible to avoid any delay in postoperative treatment.
