Selective neurectomies to achieve symmetry in partial and complete facial paralysis.

Experience with selective facial neurectomies, in partial and total palsies, is reported. If under careful control by faradic stimulation the area to be weakened is conpletely, and the neighbouring musculature partly denervated, consistently satisfactory results can be predicted. Evidence suggests that rather than recovery of motion by axon regeneration, there is a marked tendency for collateral regeneration of peripheral facial nerve fibres from muscles left intact, into denervated muscles.

The use of a tissue tonometer as a diagnostic aid in extremity lymphoedema: a determination of its conservative treatment with benzo-pyrones.

With the aid of a tissue tonometer, we have been able to gain an estimate of the rate at which the lymphoedematous tissue loses its compressability and regains it upon treatment with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: the benzo-pyrones. The values obtained by tonometry, unlike other objective methods of measurement of the effectiveness of a therapy, approximate closely to the patients subjective claims.

A new instrument for the evaluation fo tissue tonicity in lymphoedema.

An instrument which measures the resistance of the tissues to compression has been used to assess the effectiveness of a therapy for long term lymphoedema. In this preliminary study, all cases of long standing lymphodema showed an increased resistance of the affected tissue to compression. Following an average of 30 months' Venalot treatment the resistance of the fibrotic tissues was restored to normal levels. It is believed that this way of assessing the state of the tissues and the value of therapy is a more accurate representation of the actual situation and should be used in preference to measurement of the circumference or plethysmography.

[Nevus telangiectasis of the facial skin: possibilities and problems of plastic surgery].

If a portwine stain (capillary hemangioma) or a cavernous hemangioma of the facial skin is not camouflaged by cosmetics, surgical excision and full-thickness skin grafting appears to be the method of choice. Exact planning (donor areas) and perfected technique are prerequisites for results in which the grafted skin matches in color, texture, contour and thickness the unaffected facial side.
