Upper lid blepharoplasty.

We reviewed, retrospectively, our upper lid blepharoplasties to critically compare our own postoperative results after (1) conventional blepharoplasty, or (2) fixation of the levator aponeurosis to the lower margin of the orbicularis, or (3) fixation of the levator to the lower margins of the orbicularis and the skin. We found no demonstrable difference in our results with these 3 techniques. It is our opinion that the standard conventional blepharoplasty (including excision of a strip of orbicularis muscle) is preferable for use in most caucasian eyelids. The results are as good, it is simple, and it is less likely to cause problems.

Rhytidectomy: a statistical analysis.

A statistical analysis of 1,500 consecutive rhytidectomies is presented. In rhytidectomy, complications occur in a significant percentage of the operations. The plastic surgeon must be aware of the incidence and significance of these complications, and also he must know how to avoid or manage them.

Serum immunoglobulin levels in vasectomized men: preliminary report.

Seventy-five men undergoing vasectomy were tested by radial immunodiffusion assay prevasectomy and at 6 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postvasectomy for possible changes in serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels. No significant changes occurred when the results were analyzed on a group basis per time period. However, when each individual's prevasectomy Ig level was considered as his norm, significant changes appeared to occur in serum IgG levels at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months postvasectomy; in serum IgM levels at 6 weeks; but not, to date, in serum IgA levels. Seasonal, environmental, and infectious factors do not seem to be associated with the changes found. No significant seminal Ig changes have been demonstrated. Consideration of these findings and implications for possible immunopathology are briefly discussed.
