Although a rare complication, the development of a urethro-perineal urinary fistula immediately after abdomino-perineal amputation is a difficult problem to solve. The fragility of the membranous urethra immediately in contact with the exenterated pelvic cavity which takes several weeks to fill in makes any attempt at isolated direct suture very hazardous. Secondary repair is also frequently difficult and the "functional prognosis is far from being always favourable". The major handicap resulting from the perpetuation of this type of fistula has led us to propose an attempt at immediate repair as soon as it is diagnosed with filling of the pelvi-perineal cavity by a cutaneo-muscular flap taken from gluteus maximus. In the two cases in which this treatment was performed, the fistula was cured and a good quality functional result was obtained.

Unlabelled: Myelomeningocoele is a serious congenital deformity requiring multidisciplinary medical care, and parent' s aware cooperation. The accessibility and popularity of foetal ultrasonography enables early prenatal diagnosis which makes possible optimal management during pregnancy and treatment after birth.
Aim: Evaluation of the treatment of newborns with myelomeningocoele in the last 20 years in relation to the changes in diagnostics and operative procedures.

There are two pitfalls to be avoided in transmandibular buccopharyngectomy: mandibular amputation and inversely a contemplative wait-and-see attitude. Preservative measures require a precise evaluation of bone invasion, surgical approaches respecting the lip and cutaneo-muscular flaps, and an early assessment of the secondary effects of radiotherapy. Reasonable use of bone periosteal free flaps and striving for immediate reconstruction of each defect certainly leads to an interventionist behavior, but which can be conducted under better conditions and more attainable objectives than after mandibular deformation, a pharyngostomia or recent radionecrosis.

The authors, reviewing their own experience of Blepharoplasty (92 cases) since ten years, discuss the principal approaches used depending on the age of the patient, the amount of adipose tissue, the lower lid tarsal and muscular laxity and the quality of the skin excess. On the lower eye lid they emphasize the interest of the transconjunctival approach in young an or coloured people and they undermine a cutaneo-muscular flap in the classical technique. On the upper eye lid, they combine the skin excision with an orbicular muscle strip and in old people with a suspension of the lateral canthus.
