Gynecomastia is the most frequently breast lesion in males. 148 patients (mean age 24,7 years) operated in our department were reviewed with a mean follow-up of five years. Gynecomastia occurred most frequently during puberty (77,7 %), was bilateral (86,5%) and idiopathic (89,9%).

ALTHOUGH THESE ANOMALIES OFTEN HAVE A MODERATE IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS COMPLEX, THE RESULTING PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES CAN BE SIGNIFICANT.

Breast surgery is usually recommended for women who have completed puberty. Indeed, during adolescence the breast is constantly changing, the patient's weight is often unstable, the risk of inflammatory scars (hypertrophic or keloid) is higher and disturbances of areolar sensitivity can affect the patient's quality of sexual life. In addition, the risk of infection is not negligible, especially during an acne outbreak.

Methods: In this cohort retrospective study, patients who underwent bilateral breast reconstruction in our department between September 2009 and December 2019 were asked to complete BREAST-Q questionnaire based on the timing of the reconstruction received following mastectomy, thus dividing them into three groups: (1) bilateral immediate breast reconstruction(BIBR), (2) immediate breast reconstruction in one side and delayed reconstruction on the other side (mixed group), (3) bilateral delayed breast reconstruction(BDBR). Surgical techniques were divided into prosthesthetic (permanent implant and expander), flaps (pedicle or free), mixed technique (associating flap and prosthesis).
Aim: Only few robust studies specify the indications of Mohs Surgery techniques in skin tumors. The aim of this work was to carry out a review of almost 10 years of experience, assessing the impact of reduced margins on reconstruction, and proposing a management algorithm in the light of the literature.
Patient And Methods: All the records of patients having benefited from a Mohs technique in our center were retrospectively compiled from January 2011 until January 2020.
Background: For the past decades, number of prophylactic bilateral mastectomies using reconstruction with implants increases. We describe a new surgical strategy and analyse its safety and feasability.
Method: It is a retrospective, descriptive and monocentric study.
The lower gluteal flap is an autologous microsurgical breast reconstruction procedure using the soft tissue of the region of the gluteal sulcus. The perineal extension increases the volume of the sample. The pedicle with one artery and two large veins extends up the ischial notch and can reach 8 to 12cm.

Therapeutic options are rarely studied due to the rarity of the malformation and difficulties in diagnosis and care management. The objective of this study was to analyze the results obtained with the Lille protocol based on 62 CT-scans done before and after surgery in 31 patients.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective and monocentric study included all patients presenting constitutional isolated asymmetry, Poland's syndrome, asymmetric tuberous breast or pectus excavatum treated between 1980 and 2015.

Introduction: For 35 years, we have a tight neuro-plastic surgical cooperation for the surgical correction and long-term systematic follow-up of 125 cases of unicoronal synostotic plagiocephaly.
Methods: We have tried to understand why some patients had kept an asymmetrical facial growth pattern in spite of a good fronto orbital correction. Analysis in vestibular orientation which was available from 1993 has demonstrated a discrepancy between the ocular and the vestibular verticality referential system.
Introduction: Tissue expansion is frequently used in scalp repair in children. The short-term complications are well known and described in the literature. Impacts at a distance such as potential deformation of the skull or widening of the scar are not so often presented.

Background: The safety of non-drainage has already been proven on inferior pedicle breast reduction techniques while other authors said that the superior pedicle breast reduction techniques increase the risk of postoperative drainage. We want to prove that non-drainage of superior pedicle breast reduction techniques is as safe as the non-drainage of inferior pedicle breast reduction techniques.
Methods: We made a retrospective study of 184 superior pedicle breast reductions in the last 5 years at the hospital of Lille.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease, particularly incapacitating. Wide surgical excision of the whole affected skin is the only radical and successful treatment that can be offered. Coverage of the defect is then generally obtained with a split-thickness skin graft after a period of granulation.

The inferior gluteal musculocutaneous flap described by Shaw then Le-Quang offers the possibility of harvesting a large amount of tissue with a well-concealed scar in the inferior fold. Since 1996, we used this flap for breast reconstruction without implant. The purpose of this study was to assess short and for long-term results in our patients.
