Human eyelids can be safely treated with monopolar RF energy delivered via a novel 0.25 cm(2) treatment tip. Using this technology non-invasive eyelid rejuvenation was achieved in the majority of subjects treated. The factors differentiating those patients who achieve the most impressive changes from others remain unclear. Further development and testing of this technology is warranted.
Experience with thirty-seven patients demonstrating the versatility of the split calvarial graft in facial reconstruction is presented. A total of sixty grafts have been used with no evidence of significant clinical reabsorption, infection, or extrusion; advantages and limitations are discussed. We conclude that the split calvarium represents a readily available and reliable source of membraneous bone for grafting maxillofacial defects with minimal limitations and low morbidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
