The difficulties met, when reconstructing an injured v. femoralis communis, are greater than those of other veinous segments of the leg. This is due to the fact that the vein, being disconnected from its natural braces, is compressed by the inguinal ligament. In order to overcome this elective difficulty, a modification of the ring of Kunlin, especially thought out for this part of the body and clinically tested, is presented.
One of the possible methods for osteosynthesis of leg fractures is Küntscher's closed medullary nailing. The problems resulting from this type of injury, the surgical method, and the results obtained will here by presented on the basis of 27 checked cases. In 25 of those cases the fracture healed within the normal time span. In one case the consolidation was delayed, and one case gave rise to pseudarthrosis.

The author demonstrates what can be done with the CO2 laser in the ultrapulse mode and in the continuous wave mode. In his four and a half years of experience he has seen that the result one gets after six months lasts for a longer time. If, after this time, the result is not satisfactory for the patient and for the surgeon, he offers a new laser treatment free of charge.
The author describes his 10-year experience of using computer imagery for the preparation of surgical procedures and their predictability. The final results prove to be comparable with those programmed, in particular, in the case of rhinoplasty and liposuction. In the case of operations for rejuvenation, the computer is of some help. However, for the patient, the clinical demonstration in front of a mirror is more effective. As for surgical interventions on the breast, whether for enlargement or for reduction, it is very difficult to anticipate the final result with a computer.
Five hundred ten implants were used in 273 patients. The follow-up was between 3 months and 8 years. Four hundred nineteen prostheses were used for subglandular breast augmentation, 91 for subpectoral breast reconstruction. All the breasts were checked personally: 397 augmented breasts and 86 reconstructed breasts-94.7%. The objective criterion was the Baker classification: grades I and II, good result; and grades III and IV, poor result. Results were as follows: Baker I, 397 breasts; Baker II, 78 breasts (I + II, 98.3%); Baker III, 5 breasts; Baker IV, 3 breasts (III + IV, 1.7%). Three prostheses were removed after 3, 4, and 6 years because the textured surface was totally damaged. Two bilumen prostheses lost the saline fluid. The complication rate due to the implants was very low.
