ABSTRACT
This paper presents a simple protocol to define the anatomic parameters for creating aesthetic augmented breasts using round silicone implants. This study completes our previous publication on augmentative breast surgery. We discuss the need for correct submuscular dissection and explain how to obtain the correct positioning of the inframammary fold via measurements. We also explain how we use radiological images to show the continuity of the submuscular dissection in the inferior border so that we can create a new submammary fold and thus preserve the central position of the nipple-areola complex.

It is well known that liposuction is the extraction of fat tissue from localized areas through small incisions with the use of a cannula and a vacuum pump. Since we began liposuction 18 years ago in our Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Clinica RUBER of Madrid, more than 1,300 patients have been treated with this procedure. During this time, instruments and techniques have been dramatically improved: there have been changes in methods (from the dry method to the wet and super-wet ones), in instruments (from the large caliber cannulae to the small caliber ones), and in application (from the deep aspiration plane to the superficial one) [1-5]. We presently have completely developed a systematic procedure for conventional liposuction (CL) which produces excellent results and provides a foreseen evolution in all patients, and that we have combined with the new ultrasonically assisted lipoplasty (UAL) to get very satisfactory results.

We present the results of a retrospective study carried out on 23 patients with alkaline gastric reflux (AGR) verified through endoscopy, biopsies and Tc99m HIDA, which were operated on in our department with Y of Roux, Braun, Henley as the correction techniques of this pathology. The criteria of surgical indications were evaluated in these patients as also the results obtained in reference to residual symptoms and changes in the histologic and gammagraphic patterns.

Angiodysplasia of the colon is a vascular lesion which involves the arterioles, venules and small venous vessels; usually it is a lesion of the aged and presents with rectorrhagia, melena or chronic anemia due to chronic blood loss. We present two cases of angiodysplasia of the colon in two female patients in the eighth decade of their lives, treated in the Servicio de Cirugía del Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena de Sevilla. We emphasize the value of the angiographic study for the diagnosis of this lesion, and also the usefulness of isotopic study with labeled erythrocytes for the localization. The treatment of choice is surgical resection of the affected area. It was performed in both patients. One of them died.
