There is no consensus on the use of prophylactic antibiotics in plastic surgery to prevent postoperative infection. This study was performed to investigate whether the use of prophylactic antibiotics has an effect on postoperative infection rate. A total of 500 patients were classified into 3 groups based on their diagnosis. Approximately half of the cases received amoxicilin/clavulanate combination the other half had no antibiotics. Wound infection was observed in the post operative period. According to our clinical findings, antibiotic prophylaxis is not necessary in plastic surgery in all patients. We did not find significant difference between the antibiotic prophylaxis and placebo group.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are problems of great importance. The majority of cleft lips and palate are caused by the misdevelopment of mesoderm in facial region in second and third week of gestation. The main goal of the study was to evaluate the epidemiology of cleft lip and palate in East Slovakia and influence of environmental agents on the development of cleft lip and palate. The data were collected from epidemiological study performed by investigators among the population born with cleft anomaly in the period 1985-2000. Our conclusions concerning type of cleft and possible genetic and environmental influences were correlated to the literature. All of our results are pretty close to results published in literature.

Severe intraabdominal sepsis sometimes recquires very aggressive surgery with repeated surgical revisions of abdominal cavity. This often leads to large ventral hernia. The authors present one of the possibilities of surgical management of the hernia using fascia lata graft. This method is easy to perform and cost effective because of autologous material, which is most ideal from the point of biological view.
Authors describe 6 cases (3 women, 3 men) affected by Apert syndrome (acrocephalosyndactyly). Clinical material has been documented since 1953. They concentrate on the description of individual clinical cases on the basis of objective and radiograph examination of patients. They describe surgical procedure of syndactyly between the thumb and 2nd-5th digits on both hands. Prior to 1998 they started with separation of digits at the age of 3-5 years. After 1998 they began with it as early as at the age of 3-6 months. For the reconstruction of lateral aspects of separated digits and for the creation of inter-digital space they use "zig-zag" incision and for covering the resulting skin defects they use skin transplants. During separation of 2nd-4th digits they extirpate all phalanges of 3rd digit and they leave metacarpal III in situ by which they create a three-digit hand with a relatively good functional result.

The authors describe their experience with Lemperle's method of reduction mammoplasty. It is based on the procedure of Wise and Strombeck and involves resection of the lower quadrants. We used this operation in seventy patients of the age between seventeen and 55 years during last five years. Six of our cases (8.6%) were classified as gigantomasty, four of them (5.7%) as hypertrophy with asymmetry and sixty patients (85.7%) were classified as hypertrophy with ptosis. As to the postoperative complications, two patients (2.8%) developed partial necrosis of the areola with dehiscence of the vertical suture and one patient (1.4%) partial dehiscence of the vertical suture. The resected tissue volumes were between 4,500 g and 400 g. The patients were very pleased with the result of the operation.

In the course of 16 years at the authors department 46 children with congenital malformation of the diaphragm were operated. This group comprised 12 children (26%) where the first symptoms developed only after the neonatal period. Most frequently the symptoms were repeated respiratory infections (in 9 children), and gastrointestinal complaints in 4 children. The children were operated electively: in 8 patients a left-sided Bochdalek hernia (1x with a sac) was involved, 3 children had a hiatus hernia and one child a Morgagni hernia. After surgery no early or late complications were recorded. In the discussion the authors deal with inborn diaphragmatic hernia with a late manifestation which is mainly a diagnostic problem. Therefore, based on their own experience and consistent with data in the literature, the authors recommend careful aimed examination of children with chronic non-specific respiratory or gastrointestinal complaints.
