Fascial anchoring technique in medial thigh lifts.

The medical thigh lift has not gained widespread acceptance since its introduction 20 years ago because of problems such as inferior scar migration, labial separation, and early recurrence of ptosis. Anchoring of the inferior skin flap to the tough, inelastic deep layer of the superficial perineal fascia has reduced such complications. Originally described by Colles in 1811, this fascial layer helps define the perineal-thigh crease. Eighteen patients having medial thigh lifts in combination with liposuction were followed for 6 to 24 months. The technique involves initial liposuction followed by resection of a crescent of redundant skin and fat at the superior medial thigh. The inferior skin flap is suspended from Colles' fascia of the perineum with subdermal PDS sutures. No undermining or deepithelialization of flaps is performed. Complications are few, and patient satisfaction is high.

Nonoperative management of hemobilia.

Traumatic hemobilia is an uncommon complication of blunt or penetrating liver injury and is characterized by jaundice, biliary colic, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and a recent history of abdominal trauma. The clinical diagnosis of hemobilia is confirmed by endoscopy and selective arteriography. Selective hepatic artery angiography will locate the site of bleeding, and determine the extent of liver injury. The choice of treatment of hemobilia depends on the severity of the hemorrhage and the extent of injury. The treatment of massive or persistent hemobilia is surgical drainage of hematoma and ligation of bleeding sites. Non-massive hemobilia may be treated conservatively with liver healing documented by serial selective arteriograms. The nonoperative treatment of a case of non-massive hemobilia with a good result is presented.

Pseudocholelithiasis in an elderly man with calcified hydatid cysts.

A 69 year old man with intrabiliary rupture of a calcified echinococcal cyst mimicking acute cholelithiasis is discussed. This case is of interest because the correct diagnosis was not recognized preoperatively despite the fact that certain aspects of the illness were classic features of this complication of hydatid disease. Although this is a common complication of hydatid disease, which is well recognized in other countries, only seven cases have been reported in the American literature. Treatment of our patient included successful use of a Roux-en-Y drainage procedure which, to the best of our knowledge, has not previously been employed in treating this disease.
