Background: Indocyanine green lymphography has been a highly useful modality in the clinical examination and surgical management of patients with lymphedema. No formal classification system indocyanine imaging findings according to severity lymphedema exists, however. The purpose this study was describe, analyze, classify characteristic uniformly guide using modality. Methods: Forty-five (78 limbs) lower extremity underwent lymphography. All images were recorded photographs videos. Images...
In secondary extremity lymphedema, normal antegrade lymphatic flow is disrupted by the disease state. Attempts to capture aberrant retrograde means of microsurgical lymphaticovenous anastomoses have been hindered because technical limitations. The authors applied intravascular stenting method surgical correction lymphedema generate multiconfiguration capable decompressing both proximal and distal flow.Lymphatic channels were detected using indocyanine green injection infrared scope imaging....
Efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics in craniofacial fracture management is controversial. The purpose this study was to compare evidence-based literature recommendations regarding antibiotic prophylaxis facial with expert-based practice. A systematic review the performed identify published studies evaluating pre-, peri-, and postoperative efficacy by third. Study level evidence assessed according American Society Plastic Surgery criteria, graded practice were made based on these...
In Brief Background: The purpose of this study was to define patterns injury and treatment for condylar subcondylar fractures evaluate short-term outcomes in the pediatric population. Methods: A retrospective chart review performed on patients with mandibular who presented between 1990 2010. Computed tomographic imaging reviewed all assess fracture characteristics. Mandibular were codified using Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group Lindahl classification methods. Results: Sixty-four 92...
Vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation (also referred to as tissue allotransplantation) has demonstrated clinical success in cases of hand, arm and face despite prior belief that skin provides an insurmountable barrier rejection. These overall good outcomes are facilitated by substantial immunosuppressive requirements otherwise healthy patients, yet still demonstrate frequent rejection episodes. We developed a nonhuman primate model facial segment allotransplantation...
The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the impact age at repair on relapse rates in syndromic patients undergoing cranial vault remodeling.Retrospective chart review performed for surgically treated craniosynostosis from 1990 2013. Surgical procedures were assigned a Whitaker category based need reoperation as follows: no additional surgery required (category I); minor contouring revisions (II); major (III); or failure original (IV). Age grouped younger than 6 months; aged 9 and...
Gefitinib targeting of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has shown limited activity in clinical trials head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To investigate underlying molecular mechanism, proteomic signatures responses EGFR downstream signals have been studied a panel HNSCC lines tumor specimens pre- post-gefitinib treatment.The IC(50) gefitinib for were determined using 3-(4,5-dmethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide proliferation assay. The effects on...
Chronic rejection of vascularized composite allografts (VCA) is an emerging phenomenon that may decrease long-term allograft survival and impair function. Although intimal hyperplasia has been reported in human hand transplants, chronic changes VCAs remain poorly described.We developed a nonhuman primate model face transplantation to evaluate the effect various immunosuppressive regimens on we have previously reported. Nineteen grafts were successfully transplanted serially biopsied assess...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a delay in operative management frontal sinus fractures is associated with increased risk serious infections.Retrospective chart review performed 242 consecutive patients surgically managed who presented the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center between 1996 and 2011. Collected patient characteristics included demographics, surgical management, hospital course, complications. All computed tomographic imaging reviewed evaluate involvement...
Facial augmentation is a key component of masculinizing and feminizing transgender faces. This article reports single surgeon's experience with malar, chin, mandibular angle in transmen transwomen. Patients undergoing facial feminization surgery (FFS) masculinization (FMS) were retrospectively evaluated categorized based on region type as follows: fat grafting, stock silicone implants, custom titanium implants. Fat grafting cases limited to the malar region. Over 2.5-year period, 211...
Importance There is an urgent need for a validated gender-affirming care–specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). Objective To field test the GENDER-Q, new PROM care, in large, international sample of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults evaluate its psychometric properties. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study was conducted among TGD aged 18 years older who were seeking or had received care within past 5 at 21 clinical sites across Canada, United States,...
This study was conducted to compare the gastrostomy rates in infants with Pierre Robin sequence treated tongue-lip adhesion or mandibular distraction osteogenesis.This a retrospective of symptomatic plastic and reconstructive surgery patients over an 8-year period. The primary predictor variable surgical intervention (tongue-lip osteogenesis). Secondary variables were categorized as demographic clinical factors. outcome need for tube placement. outcomes complication rates, costs, length...
OBJECTIVE Due to the changing properties of infant skull, there is still no clear consensus on ideal time surgically intervene in cases nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC). This study aims shed light how patient age at surgery may affect surgical outcomes and subsequent need for reoperation. METHODS A retrospective cohort review was conducted patients with NSC who underwent primary cranial vault remodeling between 1990 2013. Patients' demographic clinical characteristics interventions were...
New autologous skin regeneration technology yielded full-thickness as evidenced by clinical observation and biopsy 5 months after surgery, providing relief for debilitating split-thickness graft contracture in a pediatric burn case.
We report an adult pancreatic hemangioma diagnosed on pathological specimen review following pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for a symptomatic cystic mass in the head of pancreas. Eight cases have been reported literature since 1939. Presenting symptoms, radiographic diagnosis, pathologic characteristics, and treatment hemagiomas are discussed all published cases.
Background: Treatment of facial fractures in the setting open-globe injuries poses a management dilemma because often disparate treatment priorities multidisciplinary trauma teams and lack prognostic data regarding visual outcomes. Methods: Patients University Maryland Shock Trauma Registry sustaining with concomitant from January 1998 to August 2010 were identified. Odds ratios calculated identify demographic clinical variables associated blindness, multivariate regression analysis was...
