Primary cheilorhinoseptoplasty using the Talmant protocol in unilateral complete cleft lip: functional and aesthetic results on nasal correction and comparison with the Tennison-Malek protocol.

Many surgical procedures used to treat patients with unilateral complete cleft lip do not include a complete primary rhinoseptoplasty, which is delayed until the end of growth as part of secondary surgery. Primary cheilorhinoseptoplasty using the Talmant technique has been performed at Lapeyronie University Hospital, Montpellier for 15 years. This retrospective study evaluated and compared the functional and aesthetic results obtained in such patients at 4-6 years after surgery with those obtained without primary rhinoseptoplasty in patients undergoing the Tennison-Malek technique.

The state of microsurgical practice in French forward surgical facilities from 2003 to 2015.

Microsurgery is an unusual procedure in the theatres of military operations. We sought to analyze the state of microsurgical practices in the French medical treatment facilities (MTFs) deployed around the world in the 21st century. A retrospective study was conducted among all patients who were operated on in French forward surgical facilities between 2003 and 2015.

Digital replantation in forward surgical units: a cases study.

Introduction: Noncombat-related hand injuries are common in current theatres of operations. Crushing is one of the most frequent mechanisms that may cause traumatic amputations of digits. In the military setting, management of these digital amputations is challenging regarding limitation in microsurgical means in medical treatment facilities and aeromedical evacuation delays out of the combat zone.
