Abstract  The anterior mandible is generally considered a relatively safe surgical site for performing osteotomies. Nevertheless, the
increasing rate of surgical interventions also has raised the reported complications. Careful preoperative planning and surgical
approach are necessary to prevent damage to vital anatomic structures. The most frequent complications after genioplasties
result from damage to neurovascular structures. The present article attempts to review the neurovascularization of the anterior
mandible, taking account of typical anatomic variations and considering specific complications as well as therapeutic consequences.
Piezosurgery is introduced as a safe and precise technique to reduce the complication rate and to improve the treatment outcomes
of geniop…

Abstract  Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer type seen among the Caucasian population. Sun exposure may play a less
important role in the causation of BCC in completely covered body sites than in sun-exposed skin. The aim of this study was
to analyze in detail the BCCs that occur on completely covered anatomical sites. A total of 322 primary BCC cases was diagnosed.
Of these, 44 were located on completely covered anatomical sites. Completely covered anatomical sites were classified as follows:
trunk (including mammillae, excluding the neck), arms (excluding forearms and hands), legs (excluding feet), the perianal
area and genitalia, and the buttocks and groin areas. Twenty-four lesions were of the superficial type, 14 lesions were of
the nodular type, four…

Abstract  Burn scar contracture of the lower face and neck is one of the most difficult subjects to solve because it produces problems
with function and appearance. The lip is a part of the face that is frequently affected by burn injury. Lower lip deformity
can be due to an extrinsic or intrinsic cause. Post-burn sequelae in this area results in cosmetic disfigurement and psychological
trauma to patients as it is often associated with ectropion of the lower lip, severe microstomia leading to poor oral access
for intubation, drooling, difficulty in eating, speaking and oral hygiene. The aim is to describe a single-stage correction
to address all of these problems for a successful outcome. The technique was applied to 30 post-burn scar contractures of
the lower lip. We class…

A New York jury cleared an anesthesiologist and a nurse of responsibility in the death of an Irish woman after the nurse and another doctor settled the case.

Abstract  The first case of localized scleroderma (morphea) in a 61-year-old female with unilateral rupture 3 years after bilateral
saline breast implant augmentation is reported. Erythematous skin eruptions were noted on the anterior trunk and involved
breast. The implant was removed and tissue biopsies were performed. On histology, the clinical lesions showed cupuliform depressed
plaques with scleroatrophia of the dermis. Extensive fibrosis including caliber and disposition of collagen bundles and lymphocyte
and plasma cell infiltrate were present. Intense deposits of C3d and C5b-9 were noted along the dermo-epidermal junction under
direct immunoflourescence. Elevated anti-nuclear antibody and C-reactive protein levels returned to normal after implant removal.
It was…
