[Aesthetic aspects of eyelid reconstruction].

In eyelid reconstruction, filling the defect is not sufficient. In young patients, the aim is to obtain a reconstructed eyelid, as normal as possible. In elderly patients, the large amount of available skin and the good quality of scars seem to be favorable.

[Notes apropos of cartilage grafts in secondary rhinoplasties according to Sheen's technique. Apropos of an analysis of 67 cases].

Between 1989 and 1992, eighty-one rhinoplasties included the addition of free autologous cartilage grafts, sixty-seven of which were secondary procedures. The aesthetic and respiratory results were assessed with at least one year of follow-up post-op for fifty four cases representing the true material of the study. This paper illustrates the advantages of septal cartilage graft versus conchal grafts, particularly for restitution of the dorsum of the nose.

[Histological typing of the breast by multifocal biopsies].

The current concept of high risk mastopathy was revolutionised by the work of Dupont and Page (1985), who demonstrated the importance of proliferative mastopathies in the assessment of the risk, particularly when they are associated with epidemiological factors. Based on these data, the Montpellier breast pathology study and research group (GERPAMM) developed on original method designed to define the precise histological profile of women considered to be at risk of breast cancer, despite the absence of any focal mammographic signs. This typing, consisting of a rigorous surgical protocol strictly complying with Page's histological definitions, was performed in women presenting a certain risk defined by clinical, cytological and radiological criteria (density and disseminated microcalcifications).

[Surgery of mammary hypertrophy and ptosis using the dermal vault technique. 5 years' use (apropos of 230 surgically-treated patients].

Using the simplest possible criteria, the author reviews the results obtained in 230 patients who underwent breast reduction using the dermal vault technique. A part from the usual criticisms of the technique defined by J.P.

[Tuberous breast: clinical and therapeutic considerations. Report of 20 cases].

Tuberous breast is a so-called mammary deformity which associates: deficient and contracted base, enlarged nipple-areolar complex, glandular herniation through the areola. The parenchyma is reduced, cylindrical, asymmetric, and frequently posted. Surgery reveals a basic glandular ring.
