Treatment of zygoma fracture with displacement at the multiple ariticulations frequently results in incomplete fracture reduction because of difficulties involved in the application of vector force during the reduction procedure. The vector force in opposite to the vector force of injury may not exert adequately through the skin incisions of open reduction. We treated 46 patients of isolated zygoma fracture with transcutaneous screw pin reduction and external fixation. After insertion of a transcutaneous screw pin through the fractured zygoma segment, the vector force of reduction could be applied easily by tracting screw pin along with the opposite force to the injury vector. The external fixation could easily immobilize the fracture segment for a period from 9 to I4 days. In all patients accept one, we could perform fracture reduction accurately without malunion or any other complication. Aside from the direct application of vector froce in the desired direction, advantages of this method are shorter operation time, no incision scar, and no implantation of internal fixation.

During the last two years, three patients have undergone transureteroureterostomy and cutaneous ureterostomy at the Kyung Hee University Medical Center. Two patients had marked azotemia and bilateral hydronephrosis due to neuromuscular vesical dysfunction. The other patient had advanced bladder tumor with hydronephrosis of one kidney and nonvisualization of the other kidney. Their follow-up results are satisfactory and wide application of this simple procedure is discussed.

In 2007, the Public Sanitation Administration Law in Korea was partially amended to subdivide cosmetology into general and skin cosmetology. Thus starting from 2008, a skin cosmetology qualification requirement license was newly created in Korea. Instead of improving the health standards concerning public health, the amendments have exaggerated the monopolistic right of trade of the Korean Central Esthetician's Association with the assistance of the Division of Sanitary Policy in the Korean Ministry for Health. In addition, the amended ordinances stipulate that cosmetologists can analyze skin conditions, hence allowing medical diagnostic procedures by non-medical personnel which has serious health problems causing serious conflict with Korean Medical Law. Legislation precedents from around the world demonstrate that medical supervision by physicians is absolutely necessary with fastidious requisitions in order to safeguard public health. However, in Korea there is a subversive attempt by some esthetician groups to limit the employment of estheticians by medical institutions in order to safeguard their private privileges. The newly amended Public Sanitation Administration Law should be revised in order to preserve the fundamental rights of the people, to enhance public health, and to uphold the well being of the people instead of catering to special interest groups.
