  • Title: 512 rhytidectomies. A retrospective study.
    Author: Kamer FM, Damiani J, Churukian M.
    Journal: Arch Otolaryngol; 1984 Jun; 110(6):368-70. PubMed ID: 6721777.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study of 512 rhytidectomy surgeries performed by one of us (F.M.K.) showed that the sequential technique and two-stage concept was used in most cases, with improvement in results noted when platysmal-superficial musculoaponeurotic system flaps were incorporated into the surgical routine. The majority of the patients were treated as outpatients; drains were rarely used. Statistical analysis of results and complications are discussed, as well as the aesthetic philosophy involved in this area of surgery. A comparison with other retrospective studies of this procedure is also given.
