A study on the clinical, paraclinical and epidemiological features of 68 patients with hypertrophy simple goiter with complication in Hue hospital during 1996-1998 has shown that the disease occurred mainly in the women with ages of 31-50. The goiter accompanying with the nuclear accounted for high rate, especially multinuclear. The operation indicated for cases of goiter with pressing the neck region or with nuclear. The results of postoperative monitoring within 4 months found good (86,8%), normal (8,8%) and poor (4,4%).

OBJECTIVETo study the efficacy and complications of the method for reduction mammaplasty in patients with breast benign diseases.

METHODSFrom November 1980 to December 2001, reduction mammaplasty was performed in 27 patients with breast hypertrophy, ptosis and benign diseases. The operation methods were selected according to the characters of the diseases and the extent of breast hypertrophy and ptosis. 9 patients received reduction mammaplasty using an inferior pyramidal pedicle technique; 16 patients received Mckissock vertical bipedicle technique and 2 patients received the bicyclic incision technique.

RESULTSThe successful rate was 94.2%. Three breasts developed areola necrosis in Mckissock. Symptoms caused by breast hypertrophy and benign diseases were improved apparently.

CONCLUSIONReduction mammaplasty is the best option for the treatment of breast hypertrophy and ptosis with benign diseases. The method of reduction mammaplasty should be taken individually.

Septal reduction therapies, which include septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation and so on, are the current treatment strategies for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and drug-refractory symptoms. With the deepening of theoretical understanding and the rapid development of interventional therapies, some researchers have tried to perform transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair to treat high-risk patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including obstructive and non-obstructive. The reported results are relatively satisfactory, but many urgent problems need to be solved, such as the lack of data on animal experiments and large cohort studies, and the unknown medium- and long-term outcomes. However, transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair brings new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. On one hand, it can be used as a monotherapy, on the other hand, it can be combined with novel molecular targeted drug therapy or emerging minimally invasive surgical procedures targeting hypertrophic ventricular septum, which deserves our further attention and exploratory research.

Necrosis of nipple-areola complex is one of the major complications of breast reduction in gigatomastia. We present a case study of a 32-year-old patient with severe gigantomastia, who required an immediate nipple reconstruction during breast reduction. The final reconstruction was satisfactory. No complications were observed within three months postoperatively.

OBJECTIVETo explore an ideal technique for remodeling the breast after resection of large breast fibroadenoma.

METHODSBased on the principle of breast reduction, an operation plan was designed. The new locations of the nipple, and the areola and the area of the breast skin to be resected were marked. The preoperative-marked skin, epidermis, and the whole breast tumor were resected routinely. Then breast remodeling followed according to augmentation mammoplasty. Seven patients underwent this operation.

RESULTSThe operative results were satisfactory in terms of multiple parameters during the follow-up period.

CONCLUSIONSThis operation can effectively resect the breast tumor and remodel the breast simultaneously.

OBJECTIVETo classify the nasal tip hypertrophy according to the anatomic characters, so as to select the proper treatment methods.

METHODSFrom Jan. 2010 to Mar. 2012, 92 cases (aged 21-46 years,average 29 years old) with nasal tip hypertrophy were classified as soft tissue hypertrophy, the alar cartilage hypertrophy, separation of alar cartilage, secondary tip hypertrophy after operation, and compound hypertrophy. Treatment methods were selected according to the hypertrophy type, including soft tissue thinning hy medicine or operation, alar cartilage trimming and remodeling, autogenous ear and nasal septal cartilage grafts for elongation or remodeling of nasal tip or columella.

RESULTSThe follow-up period was 3 months to one year. The nasal tip hypertrophy was corrected obviously with a natural and harmonious appearance. The results were evaluated hy patients as perfect in 59 cases, good in 26 cases and medium in 7 cases.

CONCLUSIONSatisfactory results can he achieved for the nasal tip hypertrophy with appropriate methods according to the anatomic classification.

OBJECTIVETo introduce a new technique for reduction mammaplasty appropriate to moderate or heavy hypertrophic breast.

METHODSThe superior-lateral dermo-glandular pedicle flap including the nipple-areola complex was created. After the extra glandular tissue was removed, the superior-lateral dermo-glandular pedicle with the nipple-areola complex was rotated, adjusted, sculptured and fixed to the thoracic wall so as to fashion a breast with natural projection and proper shape. This method was used in 4 patients(8 breasts).

RESULTSThe operation results were satisfactory without complications. The breasts maintained nice configuration and good function, with well lactating in one case.

CONCLUSIONThe technique of reduction mammaplasty with the superior-lateral dermo-glandular pedicle is a reasonable method to obtain nice breast configuration and good function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the method and efficacy of reduction mammaplasty with central gland pedicle based on Würinger' s horizontal septum in the treatment of female breast hypertrophy.

METHODSFrom Mar. 2009 to Sept. 2011, a series of 21 consecutive patients with mild and moderate hypermastia underwent reduction mammaplasty with central gland pedicle. Only the mammary gland located at cranial portion of septum was resected and the mammary gland located at caudal portion of septum was preserved.

RESULTSIn our series, the mean resection weight per breast was (327.8 +/- 148.6) g, the mean nipple-to clavicle midpoint was 20.0 cm (range, 18.0-22.0 cm) and the mean nipple-to-sternal-notch distance was 21.0 cm (range, 19.5-22.5 cm) postoperatively. Nipple was moved upward 6.5 cm on average (range, 4.0-10.0 cm). There was no hematoma and nipple-areolar complex (NAC) necrosis. Minimal wound dehiscence occurred in one case and healed by dressing change. 17 cases were followed up for 3 months to 2 years. Satisfactory breast shape was achieved with good NAC sensibility.

CONCLUSIONSThe reduction mammaplasty with central gland pedicle based on Würinger' s horizontal septum is a safe and reliable technique for mild and moderate hypermastia. Satisfactory breast contour, as well as NAC viability and sensibility, could be achieved with lower occurrence of hematoma or seroma.
