New horizontal v-shaped osteotomy for correction of protrusion of the zygoma and the zygomatic arch in East Asians: indication and results

Protrusion of the zygoma is commonly considered undesirable and unattractive among East-Asians, and many try to achieve a harmonious oval midface by having various cosmetic operations. However, effective contouring for a severe protruding zygoma has rarely been reported .The objectives of this study therefore were to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a horizontal V-shaped ostectomy for correction of protrusion of the zygoma and zygomatic arch, and to discuss its indications. From January 2008 to December 2011 we treated 27 patients by contouring of the zygoma with a horizontal V-shaped ostectomy through intraoral and preauricular incisions. The effectiveness was then evaluated with cephalometric radiographs, 3-dimensional computed tomography, and standard facial photographs taken before and after operation. The postoperative appearance of all 27 patients showed that the protrusion had been effectively reduced with no serious complications, and the facial contour had improved. The ?nal aesthetic outcomes were satisfactory for both surgeons and patients. The horizontal V-shaped osteotomy is a good technique for the reduction of protrusion of the zygoma and zygomatic arch, and it has the advantages of more convenient multishifting, better results, and fewer complications. It also ensures the integrity of the structure of the malar complex.     

Lymph node sampling in resectable hepatocellular carcinoma: national practice patterns and predictors of positive lymph nodes

Background and objectivesRoutine lymphadenectomy (LND) for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. We evaluated national LND trends to identify pre-operative factors associated with node-positive disease to determine which patients might benefit from LND.MethodsWe identified HCC patients in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) treated with surgical resection between 2004 and 2015. Demographic, operative, pathologic, and survival data were compared. Multivariable regression was performed to determine preoperative predictors of pathologic nodal disease.ResultsOf 8095 total resected patients, 1442 (17.8%) underwent hepatectomy with LND. Patients who received LND had higher preoperative clinical T (T3-T4: 20.0% vs 12.1%, p < 0.001) and N (N1: 3.3% vs 0.6%, p < 0.001) stages. The strongest independent predictor of pathologic nodal disease was clinical N stage (OR 106.54, CI 44.10–257.42). Survival was highest in patients whose surgeons omitted LND or were found with LND to be node-negative on final pathology (p < 0.001). Clinical node positivity had high negative predictive value (97.9%) but moderate positive predictive value (56.3%) in estimating pathologic nodal status. Conclusions: Defining preoperative clinical nodal status is imperative in HCC patients. Clinical node positivity was the strongest predictor of pathologic nodal disease and its associated worse prognosis. LND can be considered selectively in clinically node-positive patients.     

TIBIA AS DONOR SITE FOR ALVEOLAR BONE GRAFTING IN PATIENTS WITH CLEFT LIP AND PALATE: LONG TERM EXPERIENCE

Tibial bone grafts were studied in 137 patients with clefts of the lip and palate. Twenty-one had clefts of the lip and primary palate and 116 had complete unilateral clefts of the lip and palate. Bone grafting was performed secondarily or late secondarily. Bone was harvested from the proximal part of the tibia distal to the tuberosity through an incision about 15 mm long. The mean follow-up time after bone grafting was 5.5 years (range 2-11). There were no operative, or early or late postoperative complications reported (such as haematoma, fracture, or shortening of the limb). Harvesting time was about 15 minutes. The possibility of operating with two teams makes the total operating time shorter. Bleeding was negligible (less than 15 ml) and the amount of bone obtained was always sufficient. Patients were mobilised the next day and were back to full physical activity by one month. Indications for tibial bone grafting included facilitation of tooth eruption into the graft, giving bony support to the neighbouring teeth, making it possible to insert a titanium fixture, raising the alar base of the nose, and closing an oronasal fistula. Compared with iliac, cranial, mandibular, and costal donor sites, using the tibia took less time, gave less bleeding, made it possible for two teams to operate simultaneously, gave a smaller scar, and there were minimal complications and satisfactory quantity and quality of bone in all cases. The results suggested that the tibia is an excellent choice of graft for residual alveolar clefts in patients with cleft lip and palate.     

Total ankle replacement in patients under the age of 50. Should the indications be revised?

BackgroundHigh physical demand and young age are currently considered contraindications for total ankle replacement. This study aimed to compare its results between patients under the age of 50 and those aged 50 or older.Methods103 patients derived from an ongoing prospective multicentric study with a mean follow-up of 41 (range, 24–72) months were included in this study. Clinical status (AOFAS score), range of motion (ROM), complication and survivorship rates were compared between <50 and ≥50 patients.ResultsROM and AOFAS score were significantly higher, as were their increases relatively to pre-operative values in patients <50. Complication and survivorship rates were comparable between both groups.ConclusionsAt medium-term, ankle replacement is at least as effective in patients under the age of 50 as in those with aged 50 or older. Long-term results will allow to assess whether surgical indications for should be revised.     

Evozierte Potenziale

Evoked potentials (EP, acoustic AEP, somatosensory SEP, visual VEP) and the magnetically evoked motor potentials (MEP) measure the conduction time in the respective conduction path. The importance of the EP lies in the detection of a demyelinating type of lesion or dysfunction and thus in the diagnosis and prognosis of multiple sclerosis.
