A technique is described for reinforcing and sealing a microvascular anastomosis by using a detached vessel segment as a cuff around the anastomosis. This may allow fewer microvascular sutures to be used. This would allow a simpler, less traumatic, and more rapid repair and may allow "more vessels to be repaired by more people."

A method of fingertip reconstruction using a deepithelialized cross-finger flap in "jam roll" fashion is described. The technique has found relatively frequent indications.

Substantial relief in the treatment of painful terminal neuromata can be obtained by microsurgically "capping" the exposed nerve end with a free nerve graft after resection of the neuroma.
It is contended that, contrary to previous beliefs, many older patients can benefit from an orthodox cosmetic rhinoplasty but they usually require a nasal "skin lift" procedure in addition. This refinement is described and illustrated.
A de-epithelialised cross-finger flap procedure for repair of dorsal finger defects is described. It is safe and simple and is considered to have distinct advantages over other available methods of flap repair of the dorsum of the finger. These advantages are discussed.
A 5 yr follow-up of a method of breast reconstruction is presented. It is considered the operation has stood the test of time.

For a certain group of patients, carefully selected by criteria which are here discussed, subcutaneous mastectomy offers a real prospect of minimizing the risk of breast cancer developing. It will also relieve pain in most of those for whom it has become intolerable and will usually provide the patient with both comfort and peace of mind. Performed by the technique described, subcutaneous mastectomy can now produce an aesthetically pleasing result. Regular review of all patients is, however, mandatory.

The design of, and some results from, a mammaplasty with an inferior dermal pedicle is presented.
We present a method for local excision of facial skin lesions adjacent to the esthetic boundaries of the face.
