The face-lift operation.

Abstract

The five sequential steps of the technique described (1) hair immobilization with surgical lubricant; (2) conversion of the cheek flap into a bilobed flap: (3) use of active, concurrent, and postoperative aspiration; (4) creation of a long, defatted tragal flap; and (5) accurate placement of the flap by precisely placed fixation sutures, facilitated uniformly good results with a substantial reduction in operating time and minimizes most of the hazards attendant upon the face-lift operation.

Successful separation of pygopagus conjoined twins and primary skin closure using V-shaped flaps.

Pygopagus conjoined twins were born by caesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation. Initial evaluation revealed no other abnormalities apart from their attachment at lower back, buttocks and perineum. They had two separate anal and urogenital openings. Their investigations included roentgenograms, ultrasound, barium enema, cystourethrogram, CT scan and MRI. There were two separate spinal columns fused distally at the lower sacral level. Lower gastrointestinal studies showed two separate rectums and cystourethrogram showed normal and separate urinary tracts. MRI showed a single dural sac between two fused sacral bones with no other vertebral anomalies. They were successfully separated with primary skin closure using V-shaped flaps.
