Abstractwas to present our experience with post-auricular tube flap (ptf) and clinical evaluation of the results following auricular helical rim reconstruction with this technique in patients after trauma.We analyzed the results in 12 patients who underwent three-staged auricular helical rim reconstruction with ptf following trauma in the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery between 2005-2014. The patients were followed-up for at least 1 year. We evaluated early and long-term results after surgery including plastic surgeon’s and patient’s opinion.Postoperative results were satisfactory (very good) in 10 cases, both in the opinion of the plastic surgeon and patients. Transient venous congestion of the helix occurred in two cases (16.6%). This complication did not have any influence on estimation of the results after surgery. Delayed wound healing in the poles of the reconstructed helical edge, as well as non-aesthetic helical scars with imperfections of helical rim, were seen in another two patients (16.6%).1. Post-auricular tube flap reconstructions after helical rim trauma allowed for complete restoration of contour, size and orientation of the helix and the whole operated ear, which confirms the efficiency of the applied technique. 2. Reconstructive surgery with post-auricular tube flap in patients with auricular helical rim defects contributed to postoperative satisfaction in both patients and doctors’ estimations.

Long Term Changes

We reviewed 42 patients who had had triple arthrodesis 25 years after surgery. The patients' age averaged 20 years. All patients had deformities due to poliomyelitis. They were satisfied with the operation, except for one patient. Good results were noted in 13, fair in 26, and poor in 3 cases. There was delayed wound healing in 8, superficial infection in 4, and avascular necrosis of the talus in 2 cases. There was no case of delayed union or nonunion. We found degenerative joint changes in 12 ankles and in 9 feet; fourteen patients experienced pain. In spite of these long-term changes, which appear acceptable, triple arthrodesis is a useful procedure for many deformities of the foot and can solve patients' problems for many years.

History Of

In Poland, there were 176 cases of prefrontal leucotomy performed by Moniz’s method between 1947 and 1951. There were also several cases in which alternative psychosurgical techniques were used: prefrontal topectomy by Bilikiewicz and colleagues, and prefrontal topischemia by Ziemnowicz. This article analyses the following: publications by Choróbski, who performed lobotomy in Poland, and by Korzeniowski, who assessed its short-term results; a report by Bornsztajn, who reviewed general results of the method; and clinical research by Broszkiewicz and by Konieczyńska, who assessed Polish patients in terms of long-term results of lobotomy. Negative clinical evaluation of lobotomy led to its abandonment in Poland, a decision strengthened by a regulation that forbade lobotomy in the USSR and impacted Polish psychiatry.

A Prospective Study

ABSTRACT Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) represents a hypersensitivity response to extramucosal fungi within the sinus cavity without evidence of tissue invasion. AFRS is characterized by fungal element with allergic mucin, Charcot-Leyden crystals, type I hypersensitivity, bony erosion with sinus infection on computed tomographic (CT) scan. Surgery remains the treatment of choice for AFRS followed by prolonged steroid therapy. Surgical approaches for frontal sinus disease can be either endonasal endoscopic or external. This is a nonrandomized prospective study, where the postoperative results of endoscopic frontal sinusotomy were compared with external frontoethmoidectomy approach. This is a nonrandomized prospective study, where the postoperative results of endoscopic frontal sinusotomy were compared with external frontoethmoidectomy approach. The comparison between external frontoethmoidectomy and endoscopic approach was done by using Chi-square test. There was no statistical significant difference found, when postoperatively clinical symptoms, radiology and investigations in patients of both the groups were compared. The success rate was 95.5% in group I and 91.1% after 6 months of follow-up. The world literature lacks prospective studies where attempts are made to compare the long-term results of both the surgical modalities for AFRS patients. Endoscopic endonasal approach has a distinct advantage over the external frontoethmoidectomy approach as it minimizes external scars over the face with almost equal or better long-term results.

Recent Experimental Work

Saint in 1929 documented the experimental studies that had been carried out up to that date on the healing of oesophageal wounds. The reported observations dealt with the relatively long-term results, and little attention was paid to the early changes that occurred during the period immediately following the infliction of the wound. Recently, Malm (1951) made observations following surgical experiments on the oesophagus in dogs, but again no reference was made to the early changes in epithelium or connective tissue. The most recent experimental work on oesophageal healing appears to be that of Picard, Henry, Cotte, & Inglesakis (1956), but their interest lay in the repair of muscular tissue. The present investigation was designed to study the behaviour of epithelium and connective tissue in the cat's oesophagus, following the removal of small areas of mucous membrane. Routine histological methods were supplemented by a series of histochemical studies on both the normal and regenerating tissues.
