Reconstruction of the Nose After Unilateral Cheilouranoplasty.

Congenital clefts of the maxillofacial area still remain of current interest in reconstructive facial surgery. While their frequency grows up, the issues of effective surgical primary and secondary interventions are not completely solved yet. The article presents the main problems associated with the elimination of the deformations and our modifications of methods for their correction.

[Experience in the use of frontal flap for reconstructive surgery of eyelids].

Results of the use of classic Indian and petalous frontal flaps for surgical treatment of 52 patients of the age from 11 till 58 years with congenital and acquired eyelid defects were presented. In all cases eyelid form and function it was possible to restore, reduce the number of operations and achieve maximal esthetic rehabilitation in the terms to 1 year from the patient addressing to clinic and in patients with congenital oblique face clefts - before achieving the age of 14-16 years. Frontal flap use on medial, paramedical and lateral pedicles considerably widened reconstructive blepharoplastics possibilities and increased efficacy of treatment of the patients with congenital and acquired limited total and subtotal eyelid defects.

[On the expert assessment of undesirable outcomes of rhinoplasty].

The Expert Commission of the Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology has undertaken comparative analysis of complaints over poor quality of the surgical treatment for the correction of nasal deformities from the patients operated during the periods of 2001-2003 and 2004-2006. The analysis has demonstrated that the frequency of undesirable outcomes of rhinoplastic interventions remains rather high. The majority of the aesthetically unacceptable postoperative deformations are usually due to technical errors during surgery.

[Application of argon coagulator in surgical treatment of ventral hernia].

The results of the application of argon coagulator "Forse-40-GSU-System" in reconstruction of abdominal wall for ventral hernias are presented. The use of this coagulator provides decrease of intraoperative blood loss volume, an achievement of good results during the preparation of a skin flap for autodermoplasty.

[The surgical correction of traumatic deformities of the orbit in naso-fronto-orbito-cribriform fractures].

J. Raven's (1992) classification was used in the treatment of patients with multiple fractures of the face associated with contusions, brain concussions, and injuries to the skull vault and base. According to this classification, all injuries of the cerebral and facial skull are classified as types I, II, and subtype Ia.
