<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore a new procedure for aesthetic correction of the medial epicanthal fold aim at the etiopathogenesis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The new Z-epicanthoplasty devise the upper and inferior margin of angle of eye medial as one angle of the Z.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>From 2004 to 2006, 129 patients were treated by using the method. Follow-up 6 to 24 months, all patients were satisfied by eliminating the medial epicanthal fold without obvious scar.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The method is more effect than traditionally Z-plasty.

Suspending of M. temporal, temporal fascia and parietal periosteum to correct late facial palsy / 中华整形外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore a simply, effective dynamical method to correct late facial palsy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The method of suspending of M. temporalis, temporal fascia was reformed below: (1) To prolong flap of M. temporalis, temporal fascia by parietal periosteum. (2) To elevate the reversal level of compound flap. (3) To fill depressed temporal area by silica gel piece.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The compound flap is united structurally and long enough to transfer. Temporal defect is recontoured. And zygomatic area is no longer protruded.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The reformative method resists defect of the old one and obtains a dynamical result.</p>

Reconstruction of the remnant penis: a 52-case report / 中华男科学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effects of the combined method of abdominal axial flap transposition and penile elongation for the treatment of the remnant penis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-two cases of the remnant penis treated with the combined method from 1984 April to February 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. Follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 20 years postoperatively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The lengths (both in normal and erectile conditions) and the circumferences of the penis gained after operation were (5.6 +/- 1.4) cm, (6.8 +/- 2.5 cm and (6.9 +/- 2.3) cm respectively. The recovery rates of the sensory function were 94.2% and 100% in the glans (immediately and 3 months after operation) and 32.7%, 51.9% and 75% in the flap area (3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively). The two-point distinguishing sense in the glans and the flap area was (5.1 +/- 0.9) mm and(7.9 +/- 1.3) mm 5 years after operation. Early complications included distant flap necrosis (3 cases), disruption of the wound (2 cases), part necrosis of the skin graft in the abdominal wall (2 cases) and poor contours occurred in 4 cases in the later period because of the thickness of the flaps. All of them were corrected with satisfactory results.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combined method of abdominal axial flap transposition and penile elongation was recommendable for the treatment of the remnant penis because of its positive effects and less complications.</p>
