Comment to “Postero-Inferior Pedicle Surgical Technique for the Treatment of Grade III Gynecomastia”

Obesity is a chronic disease described by the large amount of body fat that leads to an increase in Body Mass Index (BMI). It is subdivided into three levels, being grade I with a BMI between 30 and 34.9 kg/m2, grade II between 35 and 39.9 kg/m2 and grade III or morbid obesity with a BMI above 40 kg/m2. Aiming at reversing the morbid condition caused by the disease, the bariatric surgical technique presents itself as the most effective option to contain grade III obesity, as well as the associated co morbidities. The objective of surgical techniques is to improve the quality of life of the obese, reducing both physical and psychosocial problems. As endocrine disease is related to several co morbidities, such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea and even some types of cancer, it is necessary to carry out an investigation into the surgical technique to be applied as well as its effectiveness during and after the surgical procedure.

Better Than

A periodontally compromised tooth with severe furcation involvement may as well be retained of their roots rather than its removal in toto. Bicuspidisation (Premolarisation) is a surgical technique of sectioning mandibular molar roots with their respective crown portions followed by rehabilitation with fixed prosthesis in the individual segments. This not only eliminates furcation involvement but also facilitates effective oral hygiene maintenance. The present case report demonstrates the successful management of grade III furcation involved mandibular molar by bicuspidisation followed by subsequent prosthodontic rehabilitation. It gives a better alternative to salvage a periodontally compromised tooth rather than opting for extraction.

Grade Iii

The authors use Zancolli's classification for the surgical evaluation of the spastic upper limb. The paper describes the surgical technique used by the authors in the treatment of twenty-six patients grade III, having a “non-functional hand”. After justifying the treatment, the technique is described which includes a time for the elbow to relax the antebrachii flexors and M. Epitrochlearis, a time for defunctioning the pronators and relaxing the flexors by intramuscular tenotomy. Transplantation of the flexors of the wrist is carried out to the extensors of the wrist and fingers. The thumb-in-palm is corrected by a tenotomy of the Adductor and Flexor Pollicis Brevis and transplanting the Brachioradialis to the tendons of the first dorsal compartment.
