Background: The reconstruction of extensive full-thickness lower eyelid defects constitutes a challenge for plastic surgeons. Various techniques have been described to cater patients’ specific defect needs, with the aim achieving best results. Materials and Methods: We performed retrospective observational study assessing our experience combination single-stage procedure consisting hard palate graft Fricke flap patients complex lid resections undergoing immediate total at institution....
Assessing pressure ulcers (PUs) in early stages allows patients to receive safer treatment. Up now, addition clinical evaluation, ultrasonography seems be the most suitable technique achieve this goal. Several treatments are applied prevent ulcer progression but none of them is totally effective. Furthermore, in-depth knowledge fat regenerative properties has led a wide use it. With study authors aim at introducing new approach cure and worsening early-stage PUs by using grafts. The selected...
Embolia cutis medicamentosa, also known as Nicolau's syndrome, is a rare complication due to i.m. injections. Its real incidence actually underestimated. Many drugs have been associated with it, but at the time only few studies showed related pathogenetic mechanism. Symptoms consist of immediate local pain, edema and cutaneous, subcutaneous even muscular necrosis occurring in first 48 h. The type treatment depends mostly on diagnosis. A medical resolution can be achieved through heparin...
Nipple inversion is a particular condition characterized by shorter galactophorous ducts, periductal fibrosis, and lack of soft tissue under the nipple base. It can be congenital or acquired, it affects about 10% female population. Many operative techniques have been described seeking to correct this deformity, but unique landmark strategy does not exist yet. Although acceptable results reported, every surgical technique has its drawbacks. We describe our 5 years' experience in correcting...
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic relapsing inflammatory dermatosis with predilection for anogenital skin in 85%-98% of cases and more prevalent women (3%) than men (> 0.07%).The purpose this study was to investigate gender differences clinical presentation therapeutic response treatment platelet-rich plasma (PRP), an emerging innovative strategy LS.Forty-three male 51 female patients affected by LS were evaluated. Each patient subjected PRP (1 infiltration every 15 days, 3 times).The procedure...
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic, inflammatory, progressive skin disease predominantly affecting anogenital areas. Vulvar lichen (VLS) one of the most common conditions treated in vulvar clinics; patients report distressing symptoms itching, burning, stinging, and pain (particularly during or after sexual intercourse). A preliminary, prospective, single-center study was performed to investigate efficacy hyaluronan hybrid cooperative complex (HCC) comprising high low molecular weight hyaluronic...
Abstract Breast reconstruction after nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) plays, nowadays, a fundamental role in breast cancer management. There is no consensus on the best implant-based technique, considering 2 stages (expander-prosthesis) or direct-to-implant (DTI). A retrospective review of consecutive adult female patients who underwent NSM with over 3-year period (January 2013 to December 2015) was performed. Patients were divided into groups according type reconstruction:...
Cutaneous ulceration is a difficult medical problem and major source of morbidity for patients. In the surgical treatment ulcers, debridement first step, it can be carried out using several tools. Recently, new devices have emerged plasma‐mediated electrical discharges with lower peak temperature. A prospective single‐blind trial was conducted on chronic ulcers not responsive to common non‐surgical management. Patients were randomly separated into 2 groups: Group received conventional...
Resurfacing of soft tissue defects consequent to skin cancer, melanoma, or sarcoma excision in different anatomical districts represents a difficult challenge for the plastic surgeon. Classic reconstructive procedures are frequently charged by unsatisfactory results. The introduction perforator flaps clinical practice represented revolution field surgery. technique further evolved with freestyle concept, allowing one harvest flap from any region body where an appropriate and detectable...
Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the continuous development of multiple benign skin appendage tumors. It treated usually repeated standard surgery. Here, we present case study where electrochemotherapy (ECT) with bleomycin was used as an effective alternative approach in treating advanced dermal cylindromatosis head and neck patient syndrome.A 45-year-old woman presented recurrent cylindroma lesions on her scalp. Previous treatment consisted...
Calcinosis cutis is a cutaneous disorder characterised by abnormal deposition of calcium in the dermis. Treatment this condition has variable success rates and includes medical, topical surgical management. Here we describe case woman with painful calcinosis lesion on buttocks, treated excision application bovine collagen-elastin dermal regeneration template, thin, porous membrane consisting native type I, II V collagen-fibre template coated elastin hydrolysate. The patient's wound healed...
The management of skin cancer presents challenges in reconstructive surgery to achieve the best patient outcome and rapid wound healing. most used antiseptic pre post operative care is Povidone Iodine solution. However, valid alternatives should be considered. primary endpoint our study was healing patients receiving fluorescein solution versus two comparator arms (Eosin Povidone-Iodine).182 were enrolled divided into three randomized groups according type received: Fluorescein (n = 63),...
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic scleroatrophic dermatosis of unknown etiology that usually affects the anogenital area and occasionally extragenital sites, which has no definitive cure. LS patients are at higher risk developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in their lifetime compared to general population. Through retrospective study, we evaluated impact regenerative medicinebased therapies on SCC onset context genital LS. treated our institute from March 2013 December 2022 were reviewed....
Breast implant exposure due to poor tissue coverage or previous irradiation represents a surgical challenge both in the reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery practice. In case of extrusion incipient exposure, commonly suggested strategies, such as targeted antibiotic therapy, drainage lavage cavity, fistulectomy, primary closure, may be ineffective leading surgeon an unwanted removal adopt more invasive flap procedures. capsule, its physiological clinical behavior, can considered new...
Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in cutaneous melanoma patients evaluates the regional draining basin for occult micrometastatic disease. Occasionally, nonidentification of SLN impairs acquisition this important prognostic factor. Objectives To investigate outcomes with negative lymphoscintigraphic findings and who underwent from 2004 to 2015 ( n = 1200) were retrospectively reviewed tumor characteristics clinical outcomes. Methods Patients nonvisualized nodes (NV group) only...
Surgery for breast cancer has changed in the last few decades favor of more conservative approaches, without compromising locoregional control and survival.Common immediate complications following surgery are hematoma, seroma, wound infection. 1Traditionally, surgeons have implemented use closed-suction drains this setting with aim preventing these complications, which can cause discomfort, morbidity, increased follow-up visits, possible delay beginning adjuvant therapies. 2On
Summary: Breast implant exposure due to poor tissue coverage or previous irradiation represents a surgical challenge both in the reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery practice. In case of extrusion incipient exposure, commonly suggested strategies, such as targeted antibiotic therapy, drainage lavage cavity, fistulectomy, primary closure, may be ineffective leading surgeon an unwanted removal adopt more invasive flap procedures. capsule, its physiological clinical behavior, can...
