Rehabilitation for the post-cleft nasolabial stigma.

The post-cleft central facial stigma is a psychologically crippling deformity that challenges the reconstructive surgeon's imagination. Rewarding improvements can be achieved through a combination of an "elephant trunk" open approach and restoration of existing structural elements with addition of a central cartilage or bony columellar strut capped by cartilage to provide nasal tip projection. The entire deformity must be considered and, if needed, maxillary or lip revisional surgery must be done to obtain optimal results.

Medicolegal aspects of automobile injuries.

We have tried to acquaint you with the basic elements of law relevant to the treatment of vehicle-related injury, i.e., the Good Samaritan clause, the definition of liability in surgery, warranty and informed consent. We have listed prophylactic measures to reduce medicolegal problems to a minimum. We have outlined the stepwise development of a court case and your duties to the court. Finally we have detailed special situations that occur in a trial and how to cope with them. In summary, bear in mind that it is natural to be edgy about court appearances. Few of us in medicine, after all, enjoy this kind of thing and to that extent we are truly out of our element. On the other hand, most attorneys, expert though they may be, are out of their element in medicine. That evens the score to a very considerable degree.
