Umbilicosculpture: a concept revisited.
نویسندگان
چکیده
After birth the umbilicus is the only naturally formed visible scar on the body. To reconstruct a neo-umbilicus following abdominoplasty various local interposition flaps have been described to circumvent a circular scar contracture and to recreate a superior hood. The additional scarring with these techniques can give an operated look to the neo-umbilicus. The importance of gravity in the formation of a superior hood is highlighted and the issue of circular scar contractures is addressed. Emphasis is placed on sculpturing the peri-umbilical fat to enhance contour and on placing the circular scar deep in the neo-umbilicus.

متن کاملSweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited
Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...
