[Prosthetic treatment of larger defects of the jaw and face after destructive surgery].

In the paper possibilities of prosthetic treatment of larger defects of jaw and face after destructive surgery are presented. Prosthetic treatment is especially indicated when we wish the surface of the defect where the malign process has been radically removed to be apparent and functional. In prosthetic treatment we use acrylic materials for making endoprostheses and epitheses. For epitheses certainly more appropriate are silicone materials, such as pallamed and mollomed. While making epitheses we should pay attention to the shape and individual aesthetic colouring.

Facial Neoplasms

[Photostereogrammetry in plastic surgery].

Stereophotogrammetry has been used lately for accurate presentation of changes and irregularities of the face. Plaster of Paris casts of the faces of patients with mandibular prognathism were prepared prior to and six months following surgery. The casts were photographed with an adapted phototheodolite IGF f - 158 mm/13 X 18 cm. The stand with forced centering and a maximal base of 170 mm was constructed at the Institute for Research of Materials and Constructions SRS. The contour plots were drawn on a 1:1 scale using a Topocart B autograph. The contours were plotted with a 2 mm interspace. On the stereophotogramme obtained in this fashion the features of the face and their changes after the operation are accurately demonstrated by the contour lines.

Face

[Gnathopalatoplasty as a single operation in unilateral cheilognathopalatoschisis].

Following the cheiloplastic operation at the age of six months and the veloplastic operation in the 12th month of the child's age, the cleft remained in the alveolar crest and in the hard palate. Experience has shown that the closure of the a hard palate is already in the third year of the child's age suitable and does not effect its development-and even has many advantages. Thus we simultaneously close the cleft in the alveolar crest and in the hard palate. The closure of the nasal layer, all along its length, is not a problem. The mouth is shut by three flaps. The palatine flap is prepared by Trauner's modification. Simultaneously is prepared Burian's mucous flap in the vestibule. By the combination and suturing of the three flaps a tight closure of the gnathoschisis and palatoschisis is obtained. The closure of the cleft in the alveolar crest and in the hard palate are combined to make only one intervention. The remaining communications between the mouth cavity and nasal cavity were not perceived. The palate is long enough.
