Breast augmentation with silicone prosthesis through a dermolipectomy approach, its advantages (geometric preoperative planning, abdominal reduction in all three dimensions, providing an improved waistline and a navel of normal aspect, short bikini covered scar of good quality, breast augmentation without regional scars), and limitations (exclusive of major abdominal adiposites and moderately or severely ptotic, hypoplastic breasts) are discussed, and the technique is described. The results obtained with the procedure are considered satisfactory for both patient and surgeon, and are recommended for cases of abdominal adiposity combined with unilateral or bilateral breast hypoplasias.

Enflurane was administered to 100 unselected patients undergoing various oral surgical procedures. The anesthetic provided smooth induction, maintenance, and rapid recovery. ⋯ Postanesthesia incidences of nausea, vomiting, and excitement were minimal. Our experience suggests that enflurane may be the preferred anesthetic agent both for minor dental procedures in outpatients as well as for major oral surgical procedures in hospitalized patients.
