INTRODUCTION: The extraction of the upper third molar is a simple and common procedure in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery daily practice. Infection, facial swelling, trismus, wound dehiscence, root fracture, oroantral fistula, iatrogenic displacement, fracture of the maxillary tuberosity are some of the complications that can occur during third molar extraction.CASE DESCRIPTION: In this article, an unusual fracture of the pterygoid process during upper third molar extraction and a minimally invasive technique for treatment are described.CONCLUSION: It is important to recognize the fracture and not remove the fragment before a complementary image exam, it will guide the type of treatment that should be use.

New Surgical Technique

A new surgical technique is described for the treatment of mallet finger deformity which involves the application of a mini external fixator across the distal interphalangeal joint and resection of a portion of the extensor mechanism. We reviewed 19 patients who were treated with this technique, at a mean follow-up period of 36 (range, 24–48) months. The mean extensor lag was 2° (range, −7° to 13°) and the mean flexion range was 70° (range, 20°–90°).

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The purpose of this study was to present new surgical technique for MPFL reconstruction. We also describe its functional outcome, complications, and the advantages of the procedure. This study is a prospective analysis of collected data during the period of august 2018 to January 2020. Ten cases of patients with recurrent symptomatic patellar instability and who underwent isolated MPFL reconstruction were included in the study. Kujala scoring and lysholm scoring was done to assess the functional outcome at follow-up. Post-operative dislocation and apprehension were recorded in each case along with any complication. Pre-operative Kujala score was 36.80 which improved to 89.80 postoperatively at the time follow-up. Pre-operative lysholm score was 36.80 which improved to 92.70 postoperatively at the time follow-up. The improvement in Kujala score and Lysholm score was found to be highly significant (p&lt;0.01). We have done a simple technique where MPFL is reconstructed anatomically to restore kinematics and stability. Consistent good results with early rehabilitation can be obtained using the described technique.</span></p>

Aim. To report a new surgical technique for the treatment of conjunctivochalasis.Methods. A new surgical technique in which specially designed bipolar electrocautery forceps facilitate the complete reduction of the conjunctival folds without creating lesions near the corneoscleral limbus was designed. A retrospective revision of the medical records of patients treated with this technique between the years 2011 and 2013 was made, and eighteen eyes of sixteen patients with conjunctivochalasis treated with this new technique were included.Results.All the eyes treated showed a significant improvement with no evidence of scar lesions after a mean follow-up time of 10 months.Conclusions. The surgical technique presented here could be a good alternative for the management of conjunctivochalasis.

ABSTRACTBackground: Periareolar augmentation mastopexy is one of the most demanded operations at Plastic Surgery clinics. Nevertheless, it is one of the leads of malpractice claims in United States caused by the high patient expectations and the standard surgical techniques which may result in common complications. The aim of this report is to present a new surgical approach to solve these complications. Methods: After establishing a working hypothesis, we performed a revision study of our patients and we came to the following conclusion: in order to perform a periareolar mastopexy for ptosis correction, breast has to be tuberous at any level and to have abnormally short inferior pole. These findings may explain the main complications from periareolar augmentation mastopexy with the standard surgical techniques. Consequently, we started a prospective observational study including 56 patients following a new surgical technique which deals the cases as tuberous breasts. Results: During three years, fifty-six periareolar mastopexies were performed with this new surgical approach with one year follow-up. No major complications were observed and 40 of the patients (71%) described the results as very positive. Conclusion: “If a periareolar mastopexy can be performed, then it must be a tuberous breast”. According to this, a new surgical technique for periareolar augmentation mastopexy has been developed obtaining an improvement in our surgical results and achieving a totally different view on this pathology, which has not been reported in literature yet.

Limbal Transplantation

Abstract PurposeLimbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a rare but extremely relevant disease of the eye. LSCD patients often require a variety of surgical procedures, including keratoplasty in some cases. However, the outcome of these surgeries, including opacification and revascularization, is often frustrating due to LSCD relapse.MethodsWe developed a new surgical technique for the treatment of LSCD in which partial allogenic limbal transplantation (PALT) is carried out as part of penetrating keratoplasty (PK). After the PK, 1-8 slices from the limbal tissue of the donor graft are prepared and placed under the double running sutures attaching the corneal graft. This procedure was performed on 14 patients with LSCD, caused by severe ocular burn in 5 cases and by infection in 9. Between one and eight limbal transplants were used depending on the extension of the LSCD. ResultsAll 14 patients showed stable or increased visual acuity after the PALT surgery compared to their preoperative visual acuity. All of the grafts were integrated into the superficial corneal layers without progression of corneal vascularization beyond the limbal grafts. The median follow-up period was 12 months on average.ConclusionThe PALT method seems to be a promising surgical procedure for the treatment of patients with LSCD. It can be properly carried out in the context of keratoplasty and does not require a separate donor tissue. The PALT grafts may offer the possibility of constructing a new limbal region, resulting in stable or even increased visual acuity and the absence of corneal vascularization.
