Secondary upper lid blepharoplasty: a clinical series using the tarsal fixation technique.

Background: One hundred consecutive secondary upper lid blepharoplasties were reviewed retrospectively to determine the lid characteristics of patients undergoing secondary blepharoplasty and the outcomes of all the procedures, which were performed using a tarsal fixation technique performed by one surgeon.

Methods: The median age of the patients was 54 years, and 99 percent of the patients were women. The median time since primary blepharoplasty was 8.

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve in the elbow: a case report.

A fibrolipomatous hamartoma-also known as a fibrofatty overgrowth, perineural lipoma, intraneural lipoma, and lipomatous hamartoma-is a rare, benign, congenital lesion most commonly found in the median nerve, usually at the level of the wrist or hand. To our knowledge, no published cases report a hamartoma arising from the median nerve at the level of the elbow. We report a case of a fibrolipomatous hamartoma in a 55-year-old woman that necessitated a surgical intervention because of its size and associated neurologic symptoms.

The accuracy of intraoperative subareolar frozen section in nipple-sparing mastectomies.

Background: Intraoperative subareolar frozen sections are used to assess the nipple areolar complex's suitability for preservation for patients selected for nipple-sparing mastectomy. We aim to investigate the accuracy and value of the frozen section compared to formal histopathologic results.

Methods: In our 5-year retrospective study, 52 candidates for nipple-sparing mastectomies had subareolar frozen sections analyzed intraoperatively for malignant or atypical duct changes.
