AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
It is the purpose of the report to analyze the factors exerting effect on the cosmetic outcome in breast cancer patients (I-II clinical stage), following organ-salvaging operation in conjunction with telegammatherapy. Assessment of the cosmetic results in 100 female patients with early mammary gland cancer is done 5 years after complex treatment (conservative surgery, postoperative radiotherapy, and chemo- and/or hormonotherapy when indicated). The influence of eight factors on the cosmetic outcome attained is evaluated through correlative statistical analysis, namely: breast size, scope of the surgical intervention, number of lymph nodes dissected, type of operative cicatrix, dose exposure of the entire mamma, homogeneity of radiation dose distribution in tre entire mammary gland, dose exposure of the tumor bed and adjuvant therapy. The analysis performed points to the important practical implications of three of the factors: size of operative intervention (axillary dissection range), breast volume and homogeneity of the irradiation dose in the entire breast.

Scar and Wound Treatment Center, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, P. R. China.
Background: Compared with direct linear resection, the triangular flap insertion method is a correction method that purportedly reduces the incision tension of dog ears deformity. Randomized clinical trials comparing these 2 methods seem to be limited or absent.
Objective: A randomized study was planned to compare the cosmetic effect and scar in the defect area between the triangular flap insertion method and direct linear resection in the repair of dog ear deformities after the suture of the facial circular defect.

From the Department of Orthopaedics, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV (Sraj and Farley), and Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV (Turner and Woodberry).
Orthopaedic surgeons encounter tattoos in surgical fields with an increasing frequency and have the choice of avoiding, disregarding, bordering, or incorporating them into the surgical incisions. This article describes the history and the personal, social, and artistic value of tattoos; the physiology of tattoos and wound healing; the principles of incision planning for optimal cosmesis; and specific considerations when encountering tattoos in the surgical field. It subsequently describes cosmetic outcomes and tattoo-specific complications after surgery and provides a decision tree to help surgeons and patients decide the best approach for individual situations.
