Abstract
Although most children with Hirschsprung disease ultimately do well, many experience a variety of ongoing problems after pull-through surgery. The most common include obstructive symptoms, soiling, enterocolitis and failure to thrive. The purpose of this guideline is to present a rational approach to the management of postoperative obstructive symptoms in children with Hirschsprung disease. The American Pediatric Surgical Association Board of Governors established a Hirschsprung Disease Interest Group. Group discussions, literature review and expert consensus were then used to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding causes, methods of diagnosis, and treatment approaches to children with obstructive symptoms following pull-through for Hirschsprung disease. Causes of obstructive symptoms post-pull-through include mechanical obstruction; persistent or acquired aganglionosis, hypoganglionosis, or transition zone pull-through; internal sphincter achalasia; disordered motility in the proximal intestine that contains ganglion cells; or functional megacolon caused by stool-holding behavior. An algorithm for the diagnosis and management of obstructive symptoms after a pull-through for Hirschsprung disease is presented. A stepwise, logical approach to the diagnosis and management of patients experiencing obstructive symptoms following pull-through for Hirschsprung disease can facilitate treatment. Level of evidence V.

Abstract
Successful management of nasoorbitoethmoidal (NOE) fractures requires early diagnosis and accurate determination of the extent of injury. Although the anatomic complexity of the NOE region merits a clear interpretation of the spatial relationships associated with each injury, the role of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of these fractures remains unclear. To clarify the diagnostic value of 3D CT, this retrospective analysis compares statistically the accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) CT against 3D CT in the detection of NOE fracture line tracts in 21 consecutive patients with surgically confirmed NOE fractures. Accuracy of radiographic findings of both modalities were compared with intraoperative findings serving as the "gold standard" for detecting fracture lines in NOE fractures. This statistical analysis indicates that combining 3D CT and 2D CT produces a higher diagnostic yield in the evaluation of NOE fractures than using either modality alone. Although 2D CT was significantly superior (p < 0.05) for inspection of the medial orbital wall, 3D CT offered significantly greater diagnostic accuracy (p < 0.05) along the medial maxillary buttress, particularly at the piriform aperture. 3D CT clarified spatially several unusual NOE injuries that were indiscernible with 2D CT alone. We recommend the combination of 3D CT with 2D CT for serious NOE injuries, particularly those involving displacement of the NOE complex or associated with other major midfacial fractures.

Abstract
The nasolabial fold was analyzed by anatomic and histologic evaluation of the tissue planes that create and surround the fold. A fascial-fatty layer exists in the superficial subdermal space extending from the upper lip across the nasolabial fold to the cheek mass. The SMAS is present in the upper lip as the superficial portion of the orbicularis oris muscle. Traction on the SMAS or periosteum lateral to the nasolabial fold can deepen the fold, while traction on the fascial-fatty layer lessens the fold. The fascial-fatty layer and skin of the cheek mass are suggested as the primary ptotic elements responsible for facial aging.

Abstract
The nasolabial fold was analyzed by studying changes with aging in the nasolabial fold and adjacent soft-tissue features. Chronologic photographs were obtained from 19 older subjects, taken approximately every 10 years, from age 20 to their present age. In a separate phase of the study, facial portraits in repose and smiling were taken of young and old adult subjects with a mechanical frame used for setting an objective point of reference. Facial landmarks were identified and depth measurements were made in the anteroposterior direction. Relative lengths of selected points also were determined in the other dimensions (in the coronal plane) from photographs; these distances were normalized by using lower face length (distance from medial canthus to menton) for the vertical orientation and interpupillary distance to normalize horizontal dimensions. It was found that with aging there is anterior, lateral, and inferior displacement of the cheek mass with a resultant deepening of the nasolabial fold, while relationships between the upper lip and the fold itself remain constant. Also with age, the lateral commissure was found to move laterally, while the apparent angle of the nasolabial fold was decreased; this latter dimension was reflected by a decrease in the horizontal component of the fold length. These results support the theory that nasolabial fold deepening with age is caused by changes in the cheek mass and its support.

Abstract
Currently employed clinical indicators of perfusion provide inadequate warning of developing hazards caused by marginal perfusion in certain vital organs or "peripheral" tissues that are pivotal to postsurgical wound healing. In this study, mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac output, and transcutaneous and subcutaneous oxygen tensions (PtcO2 and PsqO2) were investigated during serial hemorrhage, as indicators of the degree of both hypovolemia and perfusion to specific tissues. Blood was removed in stages (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 55%, 60%, and 65% of original volume) from anesthetized dogs. Injections of variously radiolabeled microspheres allowed assessment of blood flow at each stage of hemorrhage in bone, brain, colon, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, pancreas, skin, small intestine, spleen, stomach, and subcutaneous tissue. PsqO2 was correlated more highly with blood volume lost than was PtcO2. Furthermore PsqO2 was more sensitive to blood loss than was either cardiac output or PtcO2 and, also during the early loss (0% to 40%), was more sensitive than mean arterial pressure. Some organs (e.g., pancreas) appeared to lose considerable blood flow with only small loss of blood volume, but their blood flow then stabilized at a low level despite further hemorrhage. Other organs, notably the kidney, appeared to be relatively unaffected by substantial loss of blood volume (20% to 40%), after which, however, their blood flow quite abruptly became sensitive to further hypovolemia. This explains why blood flow-related performance of the kidney (e.g., urine volume) may not adequately predict a developing hazard or peripheral perfusion. Some indicators were found to be better indexes of blood flow in some organs than in others (e.g., cardiac output and PsqO2 correlated more closely with skin, spleen, and intestinal flows [and one another] than with vital organ flows).

Abstract
A patient with basal cell carcinoma found within a chronic venous stasis ulcer of the lower leg is reported, and the literature is reviewed. Basal cell carcinomas found within venous stasis ulcers tend to be multifocal and of the sclerosing type. Tumors often extend into the reticular dermis but have never been reported to extend deep to subcutaneous tissue. The plastic surgeon should familiarize himself with these entities when dealing with what appears to be chronic nonhealing venous stasis ulcers. Such ulcers warrant an incisional biopsy. Once a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma is made, excision of the lesion down to the underlying muscle fascia and coverage with a split-thickness skin graft is usually curative. Because of the multifocal nature of these lesions, all other suspicious or hyperpigmented lesions of the leg should also be biopsied.

Abstract
Regional nutrient blood flow to musculocutaneous and fasciocutaneous flaps was studied in dogs using 15-microns radiolabeled microspheres, and correlations to bacterial inoculation into closed wound spaces were sought. During the 6-day study period, no differences were found between blood flow to noinoculated versus inoculated flaps. Comparisons of blood flow to the deep surfaces of the flaps showed that blood flow to muscle in musculocutaneous flaps increased rapidly during the first 24 hours and then plateaued, while that to subcutaneous tissue plus fascia in fasciocutaneous flaps demonstrated a gradual and steady increase. The most rapid decline in bacterial counts at the undersurface of both flaps occurred within 24 hours, dropping significantly lower within musculocutaneous flaps. In addition to such surface properties of muscle as tissue ingrowth, rapid early augmentation of muscle blood flow may be largely responsible for superior bacterial suppression observed beneath musculocutaneous flaps.

Abstract
A technique for construction of a functional loop colostomy is described for the management of colonic injuries in which complete fecal diversion is not required. The colostomy and mucous fistula are converted into a functional loop colostomy at the initial procedure and exteriorized through a single stoma. Subsequent colostomy closure is simplified. Intraperitoneal colostomy closure can usually be performed by mobilizing the colon at the stoma site without resorting to formal laparotomy.

Abstract
Custom-fabricated silicone implants were used in 17 patients to reconstruct thoracic deformities associated with pectus excavatum, hypoplasia of the thorax, and radical mastectomy. The implants have been in place an average of 2 1/2 years. Custom implants have been permanently removed in only two of these patients. These implants can provide accurate, complex contour restoration without creating donor defects. However, problems of extrusion, capsule formation, slippage, and infection requiring implant removal are characteristic of nonautogenous materials. Because these are foreign bodies, well-vascularized soft-tissue coverage is especially essential to retain these implants.
