Cosmetic male genital surgery: a narrative review.

Background And Objective: Through the centuries the appearance of the male genitalia has always been an important concern for men, symbolizing virility, potency and sexual contentment. Correction of perceived deficiencies and deformities of the male genitalia can be addressed by aesthetic surgery as well as the enhancement its external aspect. If the social acceptance of cosmetic surgery, particularly of women's breasts, dates from the early 1950s, male intimate cosmetic surgery emerged from the shadows about 10 years ago with a medical community still very suspicious and reproachful.

Anatomical Study of the Penile Suspensory System: A Surgical Application to Micropenis.

Unlabelled: Penile enlargement surgery is the second most desired cosmetic procedure in men worldwide. The mainstay of penile lengthening procedures is a partial release of the penile suspensory ligament system. Concerns regarding erect penis stability after this procedure have been raised by the surgical community.

Contributions of the Thiel's Method in teaching and researching anatomy.

Introduction: Knowledge of the human body is based on teaching and research. Anatomy remains an essential prerequisite for medical personnel to know the human body. The idea of Thiel's technique is to preserve the natural texture, volume, color and shape of the body.

Demonstration of Nanosecond Operation in Stochastic Magnetic Tunnel Junctions.

Magnetic tunnel junctions operating in the superparamagnetic regime are promising devices in the field of probabilistic computing, which is suitable for applications like high-dimensional optimization or sampling problems. Further, random number generation is of interest in the field of cryptography. For such applications, a device's uncorrelated fluctuation time-scale can determine the effective system speed.

Chronic isolated radial head dislocation in adults: Technical note and literature review.

Isolated traumatic radial head dislocation is exceedingly rare in adults, usually diagnosed on an emergency basis, and reduced by external manoeuvres. If the diagnosis is not made immediately, external reduction is no longer feasible. Various options have been described for treating these chronic forms, including therapeutic abstention, radial head resection and annular ligamentoplasty combined, if appropriate, with osteotomy of the ulna.

Curvilinear Multiplanar Reconstruction to Predict Useful Length and Diameter of Cochlear Lumen for Cochlear Implantation.

Objective: Evaluate the useful length and the diameter of the cochlear lumen (CL) using routine imaging before cochlear implantation to study inter-individual variability and its impact on the insertion depth of the electrode carrier (EC).

Study Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Arthroscopy-assisted Trillat procedure for anterior shoulder instability: Surgical technique and preliminary clinical results.

The Trillat procedure performed as open surgery to treat anterior shoulder instability has been proven effective in preventing recurrences and restoring range of motion. An arthroscopically assisted variant of the Trillat procedure is described here, together with the preliminary clinical results in 18 patients treated between 2011 and 2014. After a mean follow-up of 24.

Linear relationship between lateralization of the bicipital groove and humeral retroversion and its link with the biepicondylar humeral line. Anatomical study of seventy cadaveric humerus scans.

Introduction: Morphological studies of the humerus have shown that the position of the bicipital groove varies with the individual and the retroversion of the humeral head. Depending on the authors, these two parameters are independent or associated. This study evaluated the relationship between the humeral head axis and its retroversion and the bicipital groove relative to the humeral biepicondylar line.

Modified iliofemoral approach with osteotomy of the iliac crest, sparing the abdominal muscles, for the treatment of acetabular fracture.

Treatment of acetabular fracture is complex, requiring adapted and often extensive surgical approaches. We describe a modified iliofemoral approach, with the particularity of including iliac crest osteotomy sparing abdominal muscles to allow direct control of reduction while respecting the abdominal muscles, creating a workspace as close to the fracture as possible, without involving the inguinal canal or femoral vascular-neural bundle. In 15 complex fractures, the technique provided 13 excellent or good reductions and 13 excellent or good results according to the Matta criteria.

[Alfred-Louis-Dominique Richet (1816-1891): education, anatomy and surgery].

Alfred-Louis-Dominique Richet was an anatomist and surgeon born in Dijon, France in 1816. He defended the teaching of clinical anatomy instead of descriptive anatomy, judged inappropriate to learn operative medicine. His name is associated with several anatomical structures that we cite in the present article.

[Current Nomina Anatomica for oral and maxillofacial surgery].

Using the international organonymy is mandatory as well for daily clinical practice as for research and teaching our students. The international organonymy, Nomina Anatomica, is in Latin. A rather unsuccessful attempt at using a French version of the international organonymy in clinical practice has been made in France.

[Étienne Destot (1864-1918): the first radioanatomist in Lyon, France].

Destot was born in Dijon, France, in 1864. He began his education in Burgundy, then he started his preclinical curriculum in Lyon, France, from 1884. He had to leave Lyon, and spent some times in Algeria to treat a tuberculosis.

[Can one harvest a long bone stick in the radial forearm flap? Original radioanatomical and NanoSPECT-CT Bioscan microvascular study].

Objectives: The composite radial forearm flap is a surgical option in the reconstruction of large traumatic or oncologic orofacial defects. Nevertheless, it has been criticized for its poor bone transport faculties that would make this flap insufficient in large osseous mandibular reconstructions, or for oral prosthetic rehabilitation with dental implants. What is more, the morbidity of the donor site has often been pointed.

Unilateral duplication of the acromioclavicular joint: case report and literature review.

Clavicle duplication is a rare anatomical variation of the scapular belt: only seven cases have been reported in the literature to date, and only one took note of the existence of a duplication of the acromioclavicular joint. Two hypotheses have been proposed to interpret this variation: genetic factors, or trauma occurred in the growth period. Clavicle duplication should not be mistaken for a quite frequent coracoclavicular joint widely described.

Duocentric® reversed shoulder prosthesis and Personal Fit® templates: innovative strategies to optimize prosthesis positioning and prevent scapular notching.

We describe our experience with a new system of patient-specific template called Personal Fit(®), which is unique in shoulder surgery and used in combination with Duocentric(®) prosthesis. The reverse prosthesis's concept is the invention of Paul Grammont, developed with Grammont's team of Dijon University as from 1981, which led to the first reversed total shoulder prosthesis called Trumpet in 1985. The Duocentric(®) prosthesis developed in 2001 is the third-generation prosthesis, coming from the Trumpet and the second-generation prosthesis Delta(®) (DePuy).

Accessory soleus muscle: a difficult diagnosis: a case report and a review of the literature.

In this article, we report the case of a patient with a symptomatic accessory soleus muscle with an atypical clinical presentation. As the existence of this accessory muscle went unrecognized for a long time, various diagnoses of the patient's condition were made. Initially, the patient was treated for muscle strain and compartment syndrome, but the second MRI revealed the accessory muscle and led to appropriate diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the hip misdiagnosed by MRI: an unusual cause of unexplained hip pain.

Osteoid osteoma is a common benign bone tumor affecting the young adult with typical clinical and radiographic presentation in its most common locations. However, when arising in unusual intra-articular locations, diagnosis may appear confusing and lead to delayed management. We present the case of a 24-year-old man with intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the hip involving the posteroinferior quarter of the femoral head.

CT-scan imaging of iron marked chorda tympani nerve: anatomical study and educational perspectives.

The chorda tympani nerve (CTN) is the last collateral branch of the facial nerve in its third intraosseous portion just over the stylomastoid foramen. After a curved course against the medial aspect of the tympanum where it is likely to be injured in middle ear surgery, CTN reaches the lingual nerve in the infratemporal fossa. Knowledge of CTN topographic anatomy is not easily achieved by the students because of the deep location of this thin structure.

Is Thiel's embalming method widely known? A world survey about its use.

Introduction: Thiel's embalming technique, first described by Thiel in 1992, conserves texture and colour in cadavers close to that observed in the living. It would appear that few anatomy laboratories use this method, and literature describing its use worldwide is sparse. The aim of our study was to conduct a worldwide survey on the use of this method.

Flexibility of Thiel's embalmed cadavers: the explanation is probably in the muscles.

Introduction: The flexibility of cadavers conserved using Thiel's embalming method remains unexplained. We aimed to perform microscopic comparison of muscle and tendon fibres from fresh cadavers (FC), formaldehyde-preserved cadavers (FPC) and cadavers conserved by Thiel's method (TC).

Methods: Muscle and tendon biopsies performed on FC, FPC and TC were conditioned and stained by Masson's trichrome, Sirius red and Ramon y Cajal, then studied under optical microscope.

Posterior perilunate carpal dislocation associated with a multifragmentary distal radius fracture.

Dorsal perilunate wrist dislocations are rare. Associated carpal bones or radial styloid process fractures can occur and be included in the current classifications. The authors report an unusual association of dorsal perilunate wrist dislocation with a multifragmentary distal radius fracture.

[Joseph-Guichard Duverney (1648-1730). Doctor, teacher and researcher in the 17th and 18th centuries].

Duverney was a leader in the field of research and education, because he worked as a physician, as a surgeon and he led many scientific works. To Peltier, he was the first academic professor of surgery. His wonderful career was explained by his heavy interest in knowledge.
