[Surgical anatomy of the nose].

A good anatomical knowledge is a pre-requisite to all surgeries. In rhinoplasty, where many steps are performed without visual control and are only guided by palpation, anatomy must be mastered. Based on classical static anatomy and dynamic surgical modifications of the nose, this study analyses anatomical and surgical correlation and reports their technical implications. Correction of the shape of the nose is to be able to conceptualize the underlying skeleton and to program adapted surgical procedure for each case.

[Rhinoplasty: morphodynamic anatomy of rhinoplasty. Interest of conservative rhinoplasty].

OBJECTIVES: To highlight the morphodynamic anatomical mechanisms that influence the results of rhinoplasty. To present the technical modalities of nasal dorsum preservation rhinoplasties. To determine the optimized respective surgical indications of the two main techniques of rhinoplasty: interruption rhinoplasty versus conservative rhinoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on anatomical dissections and initial morphodynamic studies carried out on 100 anatomical specimens, a prospective study of a continuous series of 400 patients operated of primary reduction rhinoplasty or septo-rhinoplasty by one of authors (YS) has been undertaken over a period of ten years (1995-2005) in order to optimize the surgical management of the nasal hump. The studied parameters were: (1) surgical safety, (2) quality of early and late aesthetic result, (3) quality of the functional result, (4) ease of the technical realization of a possible secondary rhinoplasty. The other selected criteria were function of the different nasal hump morphotypes and the expressed wishes of the patients. RESULTS: The anatomical and morphodynamic studies made it possible to better understand the role of the "M" double-arch shape of the nose and the role of the cartilaginous buttresses not only as a function but also the anatomy and the aesthetics of the nose. It is necessary to preserve or repair the arche structures of the septo-triangular and alo-columellar sub-units. The conservative technique, whose results appear much more natural aesthetically, functionally satisfactory and durable over the long term, must be favoured in particular in man and in cases presenting a risk of collapse of the nasal valve. CONCLUSION: The rhinoplastician must be able to propose, according to the patient's wishes and in view of the results of the morphological analysis, the most adapted procedure according to his own surgical training but by supporting conservation of the osteo-cartilaginous vault whenever possible.

[Surgical anatomy of the face lifting].

OBJECTIVES: Contrast between an immutable anatomy and procedures which constantly evolve requires a dynamic vision and knowledge of the surgical anatomy. The surgeon, confronted with the reality of the anatomical risk must regularly re-examine his "basics" in anatomy and adapt them to techniques sometimes very invasive whose aesthetic benefit must be seriously counterbalanced by the operational risk. The authors endeavoured to present the surgical anatomy of the facelifts while insisting on the practical aspects and the concept of the evaluated surgical risk. METHOD: Based on more than 15 years experience related on the one hand to more than 400 anatomical dissections of the face and the neck and on the other hand on more than 600 lifts of the face and the neck, the authors analyze the various successive plans from the skin toward the deep osseous plan as they are anatomically and as the surgeon meets them. Each one of these plans is presented according to the various anatomical areas while insisting on its anatomical characteristics and its specific surgical risks.

Efficacy and tolerability of budesonide aqueous nasal spray treatment in patients with nasal polyps.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of once-daily treatment with budesonide aqueous nasal spray in patients with nasal polyps. DESIGN: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. SETTING: Sixteen hospital clinics. PATIENTS: One hundred eighty-three patients with moderate-sized nasal polyps causing clinically significant symptoms during a 1-week run-in period. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to receive 1 of the following 4 budesonide aqueous nasal spray treatments: 128 microg once daily in the morning and placebo in the evening, 128 microg twice daily, 256 microg once daily in the morning and placebo in the evening, or placebo for 8 weeks. Nasal polyp size was scored and peak nasal inspiratory flow was measured at clinic visits at the beginning and end of the run-in period and after 4 and 8 weeks' treatment. Patients recorded daily peak nasal inspiratory flow, symptom scores (ie, blocked nose, runny nose, and sneezing) and sense of smell on diary cards. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mean change in nasal polyp size at the end of treatment; mean changes in combined and individual symptom scores. RESULTS: All doses of budesonide aqueous nasal spray significantly (P<.01) reduced polyp size; no significant differences were noted between the 4 treatment groups. The mean improvement in clinic peak nasal inspiratory flow at 8 weeks was 65.9 L/min with budesonide aqueous nasal spray, 128 microg twice daily; 71.6 L/min with budesonide aqueous nasal spray, 256 microg once daily; and 54.6 L/min with budesonide aqueous nasal spray, 128 microg once daily (all P<.001 vs placebo). Combined and individual symptom scores and sense of smell improved significantly in all budesonide-treated groups; the effect on symptoms became apparent within 1 to 2 days of the first dose. Budesonide aqueous nasal spray was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: Doses of budesonide aqueous nasal spray, 128 microg once daily, were found to be effective in the treatment of nasal polyps, and doses of budesonide aqueous nasal spray, 256 microg once daily, did not show any significant additional efficacy.

[Fiber optic endoscopically-guided intranasal dacryocystorhinostomy in post-traumatic surgery of the lacrimal ducts].

Increasingly today, dacryocystorhinostomy seems to be the common obligatory path to functional surgery in case of traumatic lesions of the lacrimal ducts. The endonasal approach provides direct access to the nasolacrimal canal, while permitting to avoid the cutaneous approach through tissues that may be coming apart. The use of optic endoscopes renders the operation easier and provides access to the dome of the lacrimal sac, which is impossible under conventional endonasal microscopy. Monitoring and postoperative care are carried out with the same instrument, thereby improving the quality of the end result. The operation usually takes place under potentiated local anesthesia and lasts one hour, on average. The various surgical steps are described and particular attention is given to endonasal localization of the lacrimal ducts and to the technique of marsupialization.

[Köle's operation].

Kole's operation combines segmental alveolar osteotomy of lower incisor-canine region with a reduction mentoplasty. The procedure usually provides a reduction in height of mentum, sometimes with an advancement, and involves ablation of an intermediate bone fragment. Ablation of lower border as described by Kole too frequently results in an esthetically poor chin. Insertions of platysma and digastric muscles are untouched. The inferior segmental osteotomy separates the lower incisor-canine region, which is displaced upwards or upwards and backwards after extraction of premolars, displacement being maintained by interposition of bone detached during mentoplasty. A reduction glossectomy is almost constantly associated. The best indication for Kole's operation is anterior gaps with or without proalveoli. It is often combined with segmental or total surgery to maxilla. Results are generally stable, especially after mentoplasty, but from the dental aspect pulp mortifications are not rare.

[2 cases of anaphylaxis from droperidol].

Following two cases of anaphylactoid reactions during anaesthesia, immunoallergological investigations showed up the responsibility of droperidol, which probably acted by way of an anaphylactic mechanism. In both cases, there were no cardiovascular signs, the main clinical symptom being bronchospasm. The exceptional nature of allergic accidents due to neuroleptic drugs, as opposed to extrapyramidal phenomena, must be underlined. However, these reactions should cast doubts on the safety and usefulness of neuroleptanalgesia.

[Mandibular laterognathism and its treatment].

It is proposed to alter the classification of laterognathy due to excessive unilateral development of the mandible into hypercondyly and mandibular hemihypertrophy. Two forms are distinguished: those with occlusal modifications and those with conserved occlusal ratios and compensatory skeletal deformities usually involving the two stages. Treatment of laterognathy with occlusal deformity is usually by condylectomy--a simple operation with rapid results and excellent articular tolerance. Treatment of those forms with marked skeletal deformity is usually by condylectomy combined with a Lefort I of occlusal adaptation, surgery for the basilar border being difficult and aleatory except in the region of the chin.

[Severe anaphylactoid accidents occurring during general anesthesia].

Four patients were studied following an anaphylactoid accident occurring during general anaesthesia. Histamine release was assessed on clinical signs, basophil degranulation and, in one case, an early serum histamine peak. Past medical history revealed previous allergies in all cases. An immunological study showed that IgE, CH50, C3 and C4 serum levels were within the normal range. Skin reactivity to histamine was normal in all but one case. In every case, one of the drugs used during the anaesthetic gave a positive skin test and was considered as the causative agent. There were discrepancies between the in vitro and in vivo tests of basophil degranulation, a second drug being positive in one case, and several drugs inducing abnormal degranulation reactions in the other cases. The drugs considered as involved in these accidents are noteworthy: suxamethonium (two cases), fluid gelatin (Plasmion) and droperidol. The results are discussed by the authors.
