[Reconstruction of the penile skin in Fourier's gangrene: the use of a helical skin graft].

The emergency treatment of Fournier's and perineal gangrene is now well defined and is based on excision of the necrotic tissues and broad spectrum antibiotics combined with hyperbarid oxygen therapy and symptomatic resuscitation measures. However, several procedures have been described for the reconstruction of the excised zones. In the light of one case of Fournier's gangrene, the authors evaluate reconstruction of the penile skin by means of a helical split-skin graft.

[Mountain sports: their role in 2200 facial injuries occurring over 4 years at the University Hospital Center in Grenoble].

Injuries caused by mountain sports account for many of the injuries admitted to the University Hospital of Grenoble. Out of 4,490 traumas, 470 were injuries sustained during the practice of mountain sports. While the frequency of these accidents does not evolve much, the etiological distribution depends on fashion.

Drainage of the scalp by the superficial temporal vein: surgical implications.

The arrangement of the veins of the scalp is not well-known. The drainage of the scalp by the superficial temporal v. was studied in 68 specimens dissected from unembalmed cadavers.

[Superficial temporal venous drainage and its risks. Surgical implications].

Certain failures in scalp surgery due to defective venous drainage have led the authors to reconsider the classical anatomical data concerning the temporofrontal venous network. The study conducted in the anatomy laboratory concerned 110 superficial temporal territories injected with various coloured polymerizable substances in order to visualize this network in the skin. This study enabled the authors to describe nine types of venous drainage, the surgical implications of which are discussed.
