[Synovial metaplasia around breast implants].

Three cases of the periprosthetic breast capsules showing typical features of synovial metaplasia are presented. The histological picture is characterized by the presence of cellular layer mimicking synovial membrane. These elements are devoid of basement membrane, otherwise, nevertheless, they strongly resemble single- or multilayered epithelium. Focally, the differentiation towards giant multinucleated cells is noted. Immunohistochemical profile, as well as the ultrastructure of the cells, confirms their histiocytic origin with advanced differentiation towards elements of the synovial membrane. These histological features are referred to as synovial or synovial-like metaplasia. They are found in considerable fraction of textured breast implant capsules. The pathogenesis remains uncertain; however, similar picture was observed in other locations in association with prolonged or repeated action of mechanical forces. Thus, movement of the implant in situ is the most probable trigger of synovial metaplasia.

Proximal bleeding control obtained by a balloon catheter in the surgical repair of a left supraclavicular traumatic arteriovenous fistula.

Endovascular procedures offer various methods for the treatment of posttraumatic arteriovenous fistulas. We report the treatment of a posttraumatic arteriovenous fistula between the left subclavian artery and internal jugular vein combined with a large subclavian false aneurysm. To avoid left thoracotomy we attained control of arterial bleeding by means of a transfemorally introduced balloon catheter advanced into the left subclavian artery. We found that the combination of endovascular procedures with classical surgery can reduce the risks in the treatment of arteriovenous fistulas.

[Cavernous lymphangioma].

The authors discuss an extensive cavernous lymphangioma in a two-year-old girl. The lymphangioma was in the left half of the trunk. It was was revealed in the intrauterine stage by ultrasonography, confirmed on histological examination and almost entirely successfully removed by surgical operation.

The use of fasciocutaneous flaps on perforating vessels.

The distally based fasciocutaneous flaps on perforating vessels are mobile, well shapable and cosmetically satisfactory ones. In soft tissue defects of the lower third of the leg the above flaps should be a method of choice for their simple applicability and shapability of tissues. Pedicular fasciocutaneous flaps enable us to enlarge the possibilities of reconstructive surgery in this field. Microsurgical flaps may then be reserved for more important losses of soft tissues.

[Personal experience with the treatment of burns].

Initial experience and results in treating burns are reported as obtained by plastic surgery service of Regional National Health Center. Starting from 1. 9. 1985 to 31. 12. 1987 a total of 48 burned cases was managed, from them 6 (12.5%) died. Authors proceeded by early necrectomy in indicated cases. As transitory skin coverings, the living xenografts appeared to be the most successful. The role of skin banking is emphasized in treating burns. The mentioned service provides a systematic complexive and continual care of cases with burns.

Use of dura mater allografts in operations of abdominal wall hernias.

Treatment of large and recurrent abdominal wall hernias represents a rather complicated problem in surgical tactics and technique. In an effort to overcome the shortage of autogeneic material for strengthening the abdominal wall it is possible to substitute the defect by different synthetic or biological materials. Our experience with the use of freeze-dried dura mater is dealt with. The total of 18 allogeneic grafts were used in 11 patients with ventral hernias. The therapeutic procedure and clinical results are reported. Minor complications have developed in 2 patients, but they did not influence the good results of surgical treatment.

[Evaluating the thermographic image of the oculo-orbital area].

Thermographic detection of spontaneous infrared irradiation of the human body furnishes useful information on the surface temperature of the eye and the periorbital region. Familiarity with normal thermograms of this region facilitates diagnosis of pathologic processes on the basis of hyperthermic and hypothermic zones and disturbances of bilateral thermal patterns. Knowledge of the thermographic images of some physiological and artificial conditions may assist in the evaluation of actual cases. This simple, no-contact, noninvasive method represents a useful supplementary examination for resolving problems in differential diagnosis.

[The brachial flap in reconstructive surgery].

Radical treatment of tumours in the region of the shoulder joint is a problem. For reconstruction we can use local shifts, microsurgical methods and free skin transplants, unless the surgical operation involves resection of the skeleton. Less frequently a brachial flap is used, calling for amputation of the upper extremity to use the soft tissues of the arm. In the described patient a radical approach to a tumour in the area of the left shoulder with the use of a total brachial flap was involved. The authors draw attention to the importance of the surgical decision to apply this mutilating operation where it is necessary to take into account the clinical finding, subjective complaints as well as possibilities of reconstructive surgery.
