70 cases free fiap were performed from March 1978 to July 1985. The donor fiap were dorsalis pedis flap in 34 cases, groin flap in 8 cases, osteocutaeous flap in 3 cases, gracilis flap in 17 cases, and latissimus dorsi flap in 8 cases respectively. The success rate was 90% in total including partial success. The causes of failure were 2 cases infection necrosis, and 1 case kinking of drain vessel. The gracilis and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap were very satisfactory method for the reconstruction of the upper extremity flexion power, especially in the case of Volkmann's ischemic contracture. The neurovascular dorsalis pedis flap was regarded as excellent method for the heel pad reconstruction, and tactile sensation reconstruction of the hand.

The acute anterior cruciate ligament injury is one of the most common ligament injury of the knee joint and there are many controversies in its treatment. Warren reported that the primary repair for the acute anterior cruciate ligament injuries was good, but some had opposite oppinions. Authors studied 23 patients of actue anterior cruciate ligament injury who were treated by primary repair from January, 1982 to December, 1984. The results were as followings: 1. The most common associated injury was MCL injury and posteromedial capsular injury(13 cases; 56.5%). 2. The most common detachment site of ACL was femoral attachment(11 cases; 47.8%) . 3. A medial Hocky Stick incision was found good in repairing the combined MCL and posteromedial capsular tear with ACL injury. 4. The results were good in 74% by Cincinnati score and in 87% by objective score. It is concluded that primary repair of the acute anterior cruciate ligament tear is cosidered successful.

PURPOSE: Reported incidence of urinary incontinence after a radical prostatectomy (RP) varies between studies. This may be due not only to the definition of incontinence applied, but also how the information is acquired. We investigated the differences in perception of post robot-assisted laparoscopic RP (RALP) urinary incontinence acquired through doctor interviews and patient-reported questionnaires. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of 238 consecutive men who underwent RALP by a single surgeon between July 2005 and February 2008, we evaluated 66 men using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) at various time points after surgery. Each patient's ICIQ results were considered to be the patient's perceptions of urinary incontinence. The physician at the same time directly interviewed the patients about the number of pads used and considered complete continence to be equivalent to the use of no pads or safety liners. RESULTS: Of the 66 patients, the physician reported that 34 (51.5%) had obtained complete continence. However, analysis of the questionnaires of these 34 patients revealed that only 5 (14.7%) patients reported that they never leaked during the past 4 weeks. Most patients (11 patients, 32.4%) who did not use any pad did in fact reported leakage of a small or moderate amount of urine about once a day. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that there are discrepancies in the perception of urinary incontinence between doctor and patient after RALP. Non-use of pads is not equivalent to obtaining complete urinary continence. Therefore, the number of pads used is not a good measure to determine the status of complete urinary continence.
