BACKGROUND The inverted-T technique is the most popular skin pattern used for mastopexy, but short scar variations have increased in popularity over recent years. With respect to nipple elevation, superior, superomedial, medial, inferior, lateral, and central pedicle designs have been described. OBJECTIVES We introduce a novel concept for mastopexy, the glandular Z-mammaplasty, and assess its...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare the accuracy between the standard anterior technique of shoulder injection and the new superomedial technique modified from Neviaser arthroscopic portal placement. Intra-articular placement, especially at the long head of biceps (LHB) tendon, and needle depth were evaluated. METHODS Fifty-eight patients (ages 57 ± 10 years) requiring shoulder arthroscopy in th...

BACKGROUND Reduction mammoplasty procedures in patients with macromastia and gigantomastia can prove a major challenge to the plastic surgeon. Although several techniques have been described to reduce very large breasts, they can often result in vascular compromise to the nipple-areola complex (NAC) and skin flaps, decrease in NAC sensation and inability to breast-feed. The superomedial pedicle...

Two rare suprachiasmal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysms, one large and one giant, were discovered incidentally. The patients had no visual disturbances. Angiography showed superomedial projection of the sac. The aneurysms were clipped via an ipsilateral pterional approach. A suprachiasmal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm is indicated when preoperative angiography reveals a superomedial car...

Cholesterol granuloma is a rare, well-defined lesion of the orbit. In the orbit, diploe of the frontal bone is involved almost exclusively. We report an atypical case of cholesterol granuloma involving superomedial quadrant of orbit. A 42-year-old male presented with progressive, painless, proptosis with infero-temporal displacement of left eye. A large mass was felt beneath the bony orbital ma...
