This work deals with 51 cases of Arrhinias gathered within 35 years (8 T-AR, 25 H-AR, and 18 P.L): their anatomy, clinical signs, and some indications for treatment; but it does not extend to a discussion for their etiopathology. However, the T-AR and the H-AR represent ageneses, whereas the P.L represents a dysgenesis. The anomalies common to the three groups of Arrhinias are many: the agenesis of the nasal bones, the telecanthus which is often in contrast to the hypo-telorbitism, the obstruction of the naso-lacrimal passage, the ectasia of the lacrimal sac with an erosion of the inferomedial angle of the orbit, the hypopneumatization of the maxillary sinus and a small maxilla, the unerrupted canines, the flattened fronto-nasal process, the obliteration of the cribriform plate, the dysplasia in the root of the eyebrows, the transverse hypoplasia of the upper lip, the frequency of microphthalmia, colobomas of the iris and nystagmus. Cleft lip and palate are frequently associated with the Arrhinias (see Table I) and also other facial malformations, but in different proportions, according to groups. They are: cryptophtalmias, eyelid coloboma, fronto-orbital encephalocele, agenesis of the premaxilla or prolabium, microtia. (See Table II) The basic principles of the treatment are the following: In the T-AR, a nasal passage should initially be bored through the maxilla, or there should be a displacement of the two halves of the mid-face by a procedure known as \"facial bipartition\". This nasal passage should be epithelialized and maintained wide open to the pharynx until the nasal construction. In the H-AR, it is sufficient to create an epithelialized passage through the curtain of bone where one would expect the pyriform rim to be and carry this passage through the septum into the contralateral nasal airway. Then, regardless of the type of arrhinia, the nasal construction is carried out with a forehead flap and bone grafts. The first grafts are either iliac or tibial, and subsequent ones are generally outer table calvarial grafts harvested from the parietal region. Later, there are further procedures: a maxillary advancement, a lengthening of the central midface, the final stages of the nasal construction, the elevation of the medial canthus, and the restoration of the infero-medial angle of the orbit (but rarely an efficient lacrimal drainage). The earliest stage for surgery can be debated. A strategy for treatment is suggested. Finally, 20 brief comments are made, which are as much questions asked concerning the three groups of arrhinia and their relationship with other centro-facial and latero-facial malformations.</p>","PeriodicalId":49569,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"43 4","pages":"177-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02844310802517259","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28139372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative analysis of ultrasound examination showed that Z-plasty had the most irregular echo pattern at the third postoperative week, and had less echogenic areas at the sixth postoperative week.

There are few studies of the venous anatomy of the TRAM flap that compares with that of the arterial system, so the aim of this study was to investigate the venous anatomy of the TRAM flap and assess its drainage pathway using venography. A mixture of barium and gelatin were injected through the cutaneous veins such as the superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV), the superficial circumflex iliac vein (SCIV), or the perforating branch of the deep inferior epigastric vein (DIEV) in 11 hemiTRAM flaps. Venograms of TRAM flaps were taken, and the venous anatomy evaluated. The study showed that it consisted of the dominant superficial venous system, the SIEV and SCIV, and the secondary deep venous system, and the perforating vein of DIEV (DIEV perforator). In addition, we saw the large communicating veins between the SIEV and DIEV perforator near the umbilicus. We think that these communicating veins, which are considered as the DIEV perforators between the superficial and deep venous system, are an important venous drainage pathway after the TRAM flap has been raised.</p>","PeriodicalId":49569,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery","volume":"43 6","pages":"312-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02844310902955821","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28580989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon--generally called \"relapse\"--is a complication that can be prevented by fixing plural sites with plates. However, this impairs blood supply to the bone, which causes atrophy. To solve this dilemma, we developed a new concept for fixing the zygoma. Fractured zygomas are fixed by combining plate fixation at a single site with transmalar fixation with Kirschner wires. This secures stability of the fixed zygoma without impairing its blood supply. We evaluated the stability of fractured zygomas fixed by our method by doing dynamic experiments using simulation models. The stresses at the screw-bone interfaces were significantly reduced by the additional transmalar fixation with wire, indicating that zygomas fixed by our method are less likely to relapse than zygomas fixed with a single plate.
