Transconjunctival approach revisited and anatomical considerations.

The transconjunctival approach, first described by Bourqet in 1923, has become a routine procedure for the management of fractures of the orbital floor, medial and lateral walls, and infraorbital rim. It is also used in aesthetic surgery and access surgery. Different approaches of transconjunctival surgery, however, can be complicated by the complex lower lid anatomy.

Do we still need Crile or Hayes Martin approach for cervical lymphadenectomy? A retrospective study of 56 patients with minimal access neck dissection.

The concept of neck dissection was introduced by Crile more than a century ago. Since then, multiple modifications have been adopted to ensure the preservation of vital structures. With the new era of minimal access surgery, the incorporation of laparoscopic, endoscopic, and robotic surgery is becoming the new normal.

Intralesional methotrexate as non-surgical therapy for giant keratoacanthoma on the nose.

Keratoacanthoma is an epithelial tumour derived from hair follicles. Clinical and histopathological features of keratoacanthoma can resemble that of squamous cell carcinoma. Different treatment alternatives have been described over the years including intralesional methotrexate injection.

Stability of box genioplasty: a retrospective study.

In box genioplasty it is possible to advance, retrude, impact, and elongate, as well as to correct asymmetry. The aim of this study was to analyse the stability of box genioplasty as part of orthognathic correction. Twenty-five consecutive patients who had gone through the multidisciplinary pathway were selected.

Rhinoplasty as an Adjunct to Orthognathic Surgery:: A Review.

Orthognathic surgery is a well-recognized method to correct dentofacial deformities. The main goal of orthognathic surgery is to improve soft tissue change. Soft tissue changes to the nose have been well documented.

Unusual case of primary cutaneous signet-ring cell (histocytoid) carcinoma.

Signet-ring cell (histocytoid) carcinoma is a rare and aggressive skin neoplasm that most commonly affects elderly men. It typically originates from the upper or lower eyelid, with bilateral involvement only in rare cases, and results in a diffuse and infiltrative appearance clinically, radiologically, and histologically (the "monocle" sign). It is essential to carry out a full investigation to rule out metastasis from an internal origin.

Recent Advances in Face Lift to Achieve Facial Balance.

Introduction: Facial balance is achieved by correction of facial proportions and the facial contour. Ageing affects this balance in addition to other factors. We have strived to inform all the recent advances in providing this balance.

Management of early stage cutaneous Merkel cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive skin cancer of neuroendocrine origin. As a result, few large studies have been published, and we know of even fewer on disease of the head and neck alone. The most appropriate way to manage patients with early local disease and no sign of metastases neck is controversial.

Minimally-invasive endoscopically-assisted neck dissection for lateral cervical metastases of thyroid papillary carcinoma.

Traditional open operations for lateral neck dissection in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma leave an unsightly scar. We report complete lateral neck dissection and thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma using an endoscopically-assisted approach through a small incision, and evaluate its feasibility and safety. Between March 2010 and January 2013, 6 patients with no definite metastases to the lymph nodes at levels II-IV, and 20 with definite metastases to the lymph nodes at levels II-V were selected.

Persistent idiopathic unilateral hypoglossal [corrected] nerve palsy: a case report.

Paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve, the twelfth (XII) cranial nerve, leads to atrophy, deviation of the tongue to the affected side, and varying degrees of fasciculation. The injury to the nerve can occur from its origin to the tongue itself. The causes of hypoglossal nerve palsy are well documented, but idiopathic, isolated nerve palsy that does not recover, is rare.

Long bone metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue.

We report a case of a 79-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue with metastasis to the greater trochanter.

Atypical fibroxanthoma--a retrospective immunohistochemical study of 42 cases.

Purpose: Atypical fibroxanthoma is a cutaneous dermal malignancy that presents on the sun-damaged skin of elderly people. It requires a definitive diagnosis, from a high-grade sarcoma to a nonmesenchymal neoplasm. The recommended treatment protocol differs from similar histologically related tumors; thus, a diagnosis of atypical fibroxanthoma should fulfill strict histologic and immunohistochemical stain criteria.

Orthognathic patients with nasal deformities: case for simultaneous orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty.

Orthognathic surgery is a recognised way of correcting dentofacial deformities and it is common practice to treat problems that affect the chin simultaneously, while deferring or not treating nasal deformities. There is inadequate published information about the prevalence of nasal deformities in such patients, and our aim was to remedy this. We retrospectively studied 75 patients with dentofacial deformities to find out if there was an association between nasal and dentofacial abnormalities.

Retrospective study on the cutaneous head and neck melanoma in Dorset (UK).

Trends in the incidence and the sites of primary malignant melanoma on the skin of head and neck in Dorset as well as the outcome of treated cases were overviewed for the first time. Increase in incidence rate of cutaneous head and neck melanoma from 1.3 per 100,000 in 2004 to 3.

Lateral brow lift: how do I do it?

The lateral brow generally becomes ptotic earlier than the medial brow, and many techniques have been described to raise it. We describe a simple technique, which does not require expensive equipment such as an endoscope or fixation devices and reduces the risks that arise from large incisions and extensive dissection.

Granulocytic sarcoma of the lips: report of an unusual case.

Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a rare localized, extramedullary tumor composed of immature cells of granulocyte series. It is capable of marked local tissue destruction. This condition can be a precursor of acute myeloid leukaemia by months or years making its diagnosis critical.
