We present a technique, which has not been previously described in the literature, of using rolled autogenous conchal cartilage for dorsal augmentation via an endonasal or external rhinoplasty approach. This technique gives greater dorsal height compared with the more common layering techniques. It is most appropriate in the minimally or moderately saddled nose.
Nasogastric intubation is often difficult in patients with upper aero-digestive tract tumours. We present a new method for replacing obstructed fine-bore nasogastric tubes. This method eliminates the need for specialized equipment and skills, minimizes the risk of tracheal intubation and oesophageal trauma, and is better tolerated by patients.
A 3 years' study was performed on a group of 32 patients with systemic scleroderma. 23 of them had digestive manifestations involving the whole digestive tract. The diagnosis was based on the clinical, radiological, echographic, endoscopic and anatomopathological examinations. In the prolonged forms of the disease, successive associations appeared in various segments of the digestive tract, the esophageal one being always the first. In all cases, the digestive manifestations followed the cutaneous involvement and were constantly correlated to Raynaud's syndrome presence. Digestive manifestations did not influence the prognosis of the substrate disease.
