Full Anterior Scoring Otoplasty.

Lop ear deformity is the most common head and neck congenital malformation with an estimated incidence of 5% among newborns. Otoplasty is the surgical procedure designed for its correction. More than 200 surgical techniques have been described so far to treat this condition, most of them including a cartilage weakening maneuver to avoid the relapse of the original auricle shape a few months after surgery.

Anatomy and Aging of the Perioral Region.

Perioral region, although severely impacted by facial aging, is often overlooked in texts on facial rejuvenation. Sun exposure, bone resorption, dynamic contraction of the sphincteric and nonsphincteric oral musculature, gravitational pull, histological changes of the skin, and unhealthy habits all take their toll in this area. Fine wrinkling on the lips, deep nasolabial and mentolabial folds, elongation and flattening of the upper lip, downturned corners of the mouth, marionette lines, diminished vermillion and upper teeth show and chin irregularities are the main signs of this process, raising great concern amongst patients and making the perioral region the most demanded area for facial rejuvenation treatment.

[Tiempo de respuesta terapéutica al propranolol sistémico en el manejo de hemangiomas subglóticos pediátricos: serie de casos y revisión de la literatura].

Background: Airway hemangiomas are congenital neoplasms of low incidence. Its clinical presentation consists of obstruction of the upper airway with progressive dyspnea and stridor and the life of the patient at risk. Infantile hemangiomas have an incidence at birth of 2%, increasing to 9% at 12 months of life.

Endoscopic closure of large septal perforations with bilateral Hadad-Bassagasteguy flaps.

Unlabelled: Surgical closure of nasal septal perforations is one of the most challenging procedures in nasal surgery. Defects greater than 2 cm are especially difficult to repair with the traditional approaches due to the challenges of mobilizing enough mucosa to close big gaps, and avoiding airway stenosis in the process. We present a new technique to endoscopically close major septal perforations using bilateral Hadad-Bassagasteguy flaps.

Extracorporeal septoplasty: variations of the technique.

Complex deviation of the nasal septum is one of the most challenging situations for the nasal surgeon. Standard septoplasty fails to obtain a good outcome when multiple planes of deviation are present. We describe three different techniques for extracorporeal nasal septum reconstruction suitable for any possible situation of the septal framework.

[Long-term changes on nasal tip in rhinoplasty patients operated with the new domes technique and the banner technique].

Introduction: Anatomy, surgical manoeuvres, scarring and physiologic nasal aging determine the final outcome of nasal tip on rhinoplasty patients.

Patients And Method: Post-operative nasal tip changes in 182 rhinoplasty patients operated on by the same surgeon and with a minimum one year of follow-up were studied. A personal interview was arranged with all patients and facial photographs were taken.

[Treatment of chin deformities].

Facial beauty depends on the form, proportion and position of its various units. The chin is the most prominent element of the lower third of the face, both in the frontal view and in profile. The surgical approach to chin deformities did not start until the second half of the twentieth century.

[Laryngeal leiomyosarcoma].

Laryngeal leiomyosarcoma is a highly infrequent malignancy, with less than fifty reports in the scientific literature world-wide. Diagnosis is based on immunohistochemistry and, occasionally, on electron microscopy techniques, making it difficult to be done preoperatively. We report a new case of laryngeal leiomyosarcoma, with an up-to-date review of the differential diagnosis and the treatment strategy.
