Automated 3-D Computer-Aided Measurement of the Bony Orbit: Evaluation of Correlations among Volume, Depth, and Surface Area.

(1)The study aimed to measure the depth, volume, and surface area of the intact human orbit by applying an automated method of CT segmentation and to evaluate correlations among depth, volume, and surface area. Additionally, the relative increases in volume and surface area in proportion to the diagonal of the orbit were assessed. (2) CT data from 174 patients were analyzed.

[Current aspects of surgical treatment of prolapse of internal female genital organs].

A study in 128 women with variable degrees of prolapse of the internal genitalia has identified significant functional abnormalities of both the genital and pelvic organs. Combined biphasic surgical treatment was performed simultaneously or at an interval of 3-6 months. The operation consisted in fixation of the uterus (its stump or the vaginal dome) using an aponeurotic flap and colpoperineolevatoroplasty.
