An anatomical classification of maxillary ameloblastoma as an aid to surgical treatment.

Maxillary ameloblastoma is a different entity from its mandibular counterpart. It is reported to behave more aggressively and have a poorer prognosis. Eleven maxillary ameloblastomas (three recurrent) are reported with a follow-up ranging from 1 month to 12 years with no recurrences. It is proposed that radical treatment of these tumours, with good reconstruction, can give satisfactory function and survival. To that end, the tumours have been classified as to their position in the maxilla and surgical resection related to this.

Island inner canthal and glabellar flaps for nasal tip reconstruction.

A series of inner canthal and glabellar island flaps for nasal tip reconstruction based on the angular artery and vein is presented. These flaps have the advantages of providing well vascularised tissue of the appropriate colour, texture and thickness for external skin and vestibular lining, with a wide arc of rotation and satisfactory donor site defect, in a single stage procedure.

Breastfeeding after reduction mammaplasty.

A retrospective study was performed of 30 women who had undergone breast reduction and subsequently wished to breastfeed. Breastfeeding capabilities were assessed by a trained lactation consultant. Findings indicate that in women who have a physiological type of operation then breastfeeding is usually possible (18 patients out of 19), although complementary feeds may be required. We strongly suggest that all functioning breast tissue that remains after reduction mammaplasty be left attached to the nipple in a physiological manner to allow subsequent breastfeeding.

Recent advances in plastic surgery.

Scarless healing and the creation of like-tissue for reconstruction have been the aims of plastic surgery since its inception. Recent advances bring us even closer to the ideal.
