Abstracts in proceedings of Greek conferences

1. “Gynecomastia: the choice of the appropriate surgical technique”. Tsoutsos D., Oikonomou Th., Papadopoulos S., Spyropoulou G.A., Panagiotou P., Ioannovich I., 23^rd Panhellenic Congress of the Hellenic Society of General Surgery, Athens, Greece, 9-12/11/2002. This is a clinical study presenting the different causes that can lead to gynecomastia, preoperative examination, and various techniques for treating gynecomastia. Cases where the breasts have a fatty composition can be treated with liposuction, while cases where gynecomastia is due to hypertrophy of the mammary gland should be treated with surgical removal. The material must always be sent for histological examination, even liposuction material (in one case, from liposuction material, we found it was Mantelung’s disease).
2. “MEBO-DERMAHEAL-BR1: Ointments that promote the healing of burn surfaces? An experimental study”.
