A safe anesthetic for rabbits, using methoxyflurane.

Methoxyflurane was given by inhalation as the sole anesthetic agent to 42 New Zealand white rabbits, with no mortality. The depth of respiration as well as the changes in the color of the ears were monitored constantly. A technique for administering methoxyflurane without intubation is described.

Blepharoplasty.

In summary, the author has presented a brief historical review of the various operations under the general heading of blepharoplasty for the removal of redundant and "baggy" eyelid skin. The various conditions encountered which contribute to the aging eyelid and periocular area have been described as they relate to examination of the prospective candidate for this surgery. The need for individualizing the surgical procedure to correct the defects present has been stressed. The author's preoperative care, the surgical technique employed, and the postoperative treatment needs are discussed. Selected cases are presented as examples of the variety of conditions encountered and the methods of management.

Repair of extensor tendon injuries of the hand.

We have presented methods for treating extensor tendon injuries from the interphalangeal joint to the wrist and the musculotendinous junction in the forearm. Early and proper splinting in the treatment of extensor tendon injuries is more important than a specific method of surgical repair. We emphasize the need for prolonged splinting, up to eight weeks in distal injuries. Immobilizing the finger in full extension or hyperextension is necessary at the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints. Correct splinting is mandatory in any method of treatment. Reconstruction of the extensor mechanism is difficult and the results are unpredictable.
