A retrospective series of 365 orbital floor fractures was studied and many variables were analyzed. Some type of ocular or orbital adnexal damage was present in 32% of the patients. After a repair procedure there was a low incidence of decreased visual acuity, and there were no implant extrusions. Late enophthalmost and diplopia were found to be related to the type of orbital floor damage. The comminuted floor fractures and fractures associated with prolapse of orbital tissue into the maxillary antrum were more prone to demonstrate these late sequelae. Despite various surgical procedures there was a 19% incidence of late diplopia and an 11% incidence of late enophthalmos.

Three cases of haematemesis associated with alcohol abuse are described. Early fibreoptic endoscopical examination in each showed a focal, well demarcated area of gastric mucosal haemorrhage, close to the oesophagogastric junction. Two patients showed prolapse of the lesion into the lower part of the oesophagus, and the third had coexistent Mallory-Weiss tears. Our observations suggest that forceful vomiting is responsible for this lesion, by causing abrupt retrograde gastrooesophageal prolapse. The prognosis of the lesion appears good.

The deceiving results obtained by the single implantation of mammary prostheses in the treatment of the small ptotic breasts are the consequence of faulty judgment and lack of recognition of the various anatomical elements involved in the deformity and which bear an incidence on the operative technique and the final esthetic result. By studying the three inseparable elements -ptosis, skin and hypoplasia -a classification into three types of small ptotic breasts is proposed, based mainly on the origin of the ptosis and the hypoplasia and on the static qualities of suspension and coverage of the skin : Type I : primary small ptotic breast. Type II : secondary small ptotic breast with normal skin. Type III : secondary small ptotic breast with skin of bad quality. The respective indications and prognosis of the classical methods of treatment are reviewed according to this classification. The single implantation of mammary prostheses has only restricted indications : when the ptosis of the nipple and/or the lower pole of the breast does not exceed 1 tot 1,5 cm. In all the cases where the ptosis is more pronounced, the single implantation is contraindicated and a reshaping operation will be performed. In cases where the reshaping operation does not give enough volume to the breast, a two-stage procedure is strongly recommended by the author : a reshaping operation, followed in a second stage by the implantation of the adequate prosthesis as soon as the local conditions are favorable.

The effects of previous induced abortion on pregnancy, labor and outcome of pregnancy were measured in a prospective study of 11,057 pregnancies to West Jerusalem mothers who were interviewed during pregnancy and who subsequently delivered a single live or stillborn infant. The 752 mothers who reported one or more induced abortions in the past were more likely, at the same interview, to report bleeding in each of the first 3 months of the present pregnancy. They were subsequently less likely to have a normal delivery and more of them needed a manual removal of the placenta or other intervention in the third stage of labor. In births following induced abortions, the relative risk of early neonatal death was doubled, while late neonatal deaths showed a 3- to 4-fold increase. There was a significant increase in the frequency of low birthweight, compared to births in which there was no history of previous abortion. There were increases in major and minor congenital malformations, but no significant changes in stillbirth or post-neonatal death rates, nor in mean birthweight or sex ratio. When the effects of other variables were taken into account, there were no significant changes in frequency following an induced abortion as to: ABO and rhesus isoimmunization, toxemia, hydramnios, premature rupture of membranes, induction of labor, breech or vacuum delivery, cesarean section, breech presentation, placenta previa, placental abruption, cord prolapse, cord anomalies, fetal distress or asphyxia, post-partum hemorrhage.

Homograft aortic valve replacement was performed in 311 patients at the tnational Heart thospital, London, between 1964 and 1973. Valve failure has occurred in 61 patients (20%), 32 of whom survived reoperation. From 1963 through 1967, 156 valves were freeze-dried and account for 56 of the valve failures. From 1968 to 1973, 118 fresh or fresh-frozen valves resulted in only 5 failures. Six general types of failure have been identified: calcification (13), dehiscence (15), infective endocarditis (17), prolapse (6), cusp degeneration (5), and tear or perforation (5). Valve failure may be due to surgical technical error resulting in dehiscence or valve incompetence, or it may be related to degenerative changes in the homograft. The clinical results, supported by gross and histological examination and viability testing, enable us to conclude that fresh or fresh-frozen valves are superior to freeze-dried valves, having resulted in only 4% valve failure over the past five years.

There are two schools of thought concerning the aetiology of rectal prolapse. On the one hand it was conceived to be a sliding hernia through a defect in the pelvic fascia, while on the other hand radiological studies have demonstrated prolapse to be represented by an intussusception of the rectum. Various operative procedures have been proposed for the treatment of rectal prolapse based on the belief in one or the other of these concepts. The anatomic defects which have been described with prolapse include a defect in the pelvic floor with diastasis of the levatores ani, loss of the normal horizontal position of the rectum, an abnormally deep cul-de-sac of Douglas, a redundant rectosigmoid, and a patulous anal sphincter. The popularly used procedure in Great Britain is that in which a sheet of Ivalon sponge is sutured to the sacrum and wrapped around the rectum thus anchoring it in place. Various authors have reported good results using this technique. The mortality and morbidity rate appear to be acceptable. In the U.S.A. a popular procedure is the Ripstein technique where a sheet of Teflon is wrapped around the rectum anteriorly anchoring the rectum to the sacrum. This technique also has its proponents who rport satisfactory results. Abdominal proctopexy and sigmoid resection, although not in common general use, has been found to be effective with an acceptable morbidity and mortality rate. These three procedures have some drawbacks but the one problem common to all the repairs so far developed for prolapse is their inability to guarantee to restore continence. Probably half the patients operated upon continue to be incontinent. Faradic stimulation of the sphincter has not proved to be as helpful as initially hoped.

The solitary ulcer syndrome of the rectum is not rare but often remains unrecognised. A greater awareness of the condition will lead to more frequent diagnosis. The aetiology remains unproven but the evidence would suggest that a combination of prolapse, trauma and ischaemia, caused by excessive straining at stool may be important factors. The reasons for straining at stool are also obscure but in some cases a failure in the normal behaviour of the puborectalis may be involved. The history and clinical features of the condition are described, and the pathogenesis discussed.

We reported the first Italian family with oculopharyngeal myopathy. Five of six brothers, aged 60 to 76, showed to a different degree ptosis of the eyelids, ophtalmoparesis, hypomimic face, troubles in chewing, swallowing and speaking, some wiggling gait, and a widespread, mainly proximal, muscular hypotrophy and weakness. Characteristic of this disease are its hereditary transmission of dominant autosomic type, its late appearance also after 50 years of age and its slow progression without periods of improvement. Electromyography, histologic and histochemical study of extra-ocular muscles were performed in two patients and showed clear changes of myopathic type. Besides, we found in 3 patients increased serum immunoglobulins, chiefly IgG, as first Russe, Busey and Barbeau demonstrated in a large French-Canadian family.

The authors have used the double-circle incision for reduction mammoplasty on 55 breasts in 28 patients. The main features of the technique are: 1. Complicated and rigid preoperative markings are substituted by a simple and flexible double-circle incision; 2. Proper dissection between the skin and glandular tissue instead of non-dissection; 3. A conic stump of residual glandular tissue is formed instead of a cylindrical stump; 4. Glandular remodelling is substituted by skin "brassiere" retailoring; 5. The nipple-areola site is determined at the end instead of being the first step of the operation. The clinical results revealed that this new method is suitable for medium or large hypertrophy, especially for young women with good, thick and elastic skin, but it is not suitable for macromastia or severe breast ptosis.
