Parry-Romberg disease is a rare condition that results in progressive hemifacial atrophy, involving the skin, dermis, subcutaneous fat, muscle, and, finally, cartilage and bone. Patients have been treated with dermofat or fat grafts by microvascular free flap transfer. We hypothesized adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) may improve of microfat grafting through enhancing angiogenesis. evaluated utility ASC patients measuring change volumes after injection ASCs alone.In April 2008, this...
This study presents clinical outcomes of primary cleft palate surgery, including rate oronasal fistula development, velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) requiring secondary and speech outcomes. We examined the effect type on Retrospective analysis was performed using records all patients who received a palatoplasty at Cleft Palate Clinic Seoul Asan Medical Center, South Korea, between 2007 2012. The included 292 with nonsyndromic overt (±cleft lip). results revealed that 7.9% incidence VPI...
From this study, we suggest that male gender and complete type of cleft palate contribute to the recurrence otitis media with effusion (OME) in patients palate.It is well known children have a high prevalence OME due anatomic dysfunction eustachian tube. Our goal was determine clinical manifestations risk factors for who received additional ventilating tube insertions after initial insertion during palatoplasty.We retrospectively reviewed medical operation records 213 palatoplasty from...
Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia is associated with facial asymmetry, orbital dystopia, and proptosis. Although radical excision of the affected bone immediate craniofacial reconstruction usually best treatment option, complete may be impossible in some patients because involvement skull base, including sphenoid ethmoidal bones. In adult without functional loss or rapid disease progression, a shaving procedure optimal alternative for affecting maxilla zygoma areas. Lesions base causing...
The most common surgical treatment for paralytic lagophthalmos is the placement of a weight implant in upper eyelid; however, this technique confers risks visibility, extrusion, and entropion. In study, we present new placing platinum implants between levator aponeurosis inner septum to decrease such complications.A total 37 patients with were treated March 2014 January 2017 (mean follow-up, 520.1 days). After dissecting through orbicularis oculi muscle, tarsal plate exposed. weights...
Background: A practical application of three-dimensional printing technology has been considered a difficult area in rhinoplasty. However, the patient-specific three-dimensionally printed rhinoplasty guide based on simulation program authors developed could be solution for minimizing gap between and actual surgical results. The aims this study were to determine how would link patient surgeon investigate its effectiveness. Methods: Fifty patients who underwent January 2017 February 2018...
Background Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) may persist after primary repair of the cleft palate, and surgical correction is necessary in many cases. The purpose this study to evaluate effect double opposing Z-plasty (DOZ) palate patients suffering from VPI two-flap palatoplasty. Methods Between March 1999 August 2005, we identified 82 who underwent palatoplasty for repair. After excluding with congenital syndrome mental retardation, 13 were included final group. average age DOZ at was 5...
Abstract Background Reconstruction in tongue cancer to restore the shape and function of without airway obstruction narrow oral cavity is challenging for reconstructive surgeons. Herein, authors retrospectively analyzed flaps reveal factors that affect functional outcome reconstruction. Methods we reviewed 30 patients (men, 16; women, 14; mean age, 50.3 years) who underwent hemi-tongue reconstruction followed by speech therapy between 2009 2017. Data about postoperative chemotherapy...
Conventional anthropometry using photographs has been widely used, but it does not provide accurate length. For upper lip asymmetry analysis, three-dimensional photographic system (3D VECTRA; Canfield, Fairfield, NJ) was used to calculate the ratio of cleft-side and noncleft-side curvature lengths. Thirty patients with unilateral cleft were analyzed. Three-dimensional length noncleft sides. In addition, two-dimensional analyzed by 10 plastic surgeons, scored a visual analog scale (VAS)....
Persistent velopharyngeal insufficiency occurrence after double-opposing Z-plasty has been treated with either posterior pharyngeal flap or sphincteroplasty. Both these methods can be accompanied by mild discomfort, such as mouth breathing and hyponasal resonance, lead to severe complications, sleep apnea upper airway compromise. The purpose of this study was review the efficacy repeat for management persistent in patients who received a prior surgical intervention Z-plasty.All were between...
Severe forms of bilateral cleft lip and palate remain a challenging issue. Although nasoalveolar molding dramatically improves overall treatment success, the position premaxilla often remains dislocated. The authors attempted to relocate malpositioned into correct obtain three-dimensional (3D) maxillary arch structure growth. Eight patients with severe were treated premaxillary osteotomy for repositioning. was measured directly using cephalometry. Two raters including orthodontists evaluated...
Topical anesthetics, such as eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) cream, can be applied to reduce pain before minor procedure. This trial evaluated EMLA pretreatment for facial lacerations and compared pain, discomfort overall satisfaction.This included consecutive emergency department patients ≥16 years age who presented with simple lacerations. At triage, were allotted either the routine processing group or according date admission. Initially, doctors inspected each laceration,...
Background This study aimed to identify the initial diagnostic characteristics and treatment status of children with submucous cleft palate (SMCP) examine relationship between timing surgical correction degree articulation resonance improvement. Methods retrospective included 72 diagnosed SMCP 2008 2016. The evaluation criteria were age visit, total number visits, at end treatment, speech problems, therapy. Results Children first visited hospital an average 34.32 months, problems identified...
Background: The conventional approach during orthognathic surgery for cleft-related deformities has focused largely on restoration of maxilla retrusion, using the maxillary advancement as a standard treatment objective. However, authors thought that vertical shortening and deficient incisor show could be additional key elements deformities. Although slight lengthening can obtained with only advancement, it would not enough to obtain satisfactory aesthetic results in terms anterior facial...
Summary: This article describes the formation of International Confederation Plastic Surgery Societies (ICOPLAST) as a novel, transparent, dynamic, and proactive confederation national plastic surgery societies. ICOPLAST aspires to provide voice for entire international community surgeons. has been designed benefit patient, profession, each individual surgeon. Its principal objective is enhance communication, education, advocacy processes ultimately improve patient outcomes patients...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in nasal growth after the implementation a preoperative retainer patients with bilateral incomplete cleft lip.Twenty-six infants lip and palate were included study. A applied 5 from time birth 2.6-3.5 months before primary cheiloplasty. Twenty-one who treated without placed control group. Standard frontal, basal, lateral view photographs taken 3 weeks cheiloplasty, immediately at 1- 3-year postoperative follow-up visits. columella ratio...
Median cleft lip is a rare anomaly consisting of midline vertical through the upper lip. It can also involve premaxillary bone, nasal septum, and central nervous system. In our current report, we present clinical features 6 patients with median their surgical management according to accompanying anomalies.From December 2010 January 2014, were reviewed. Five these cases underwent correction; alveolar bone grafting was performed in patient cleft. The technique included inverted-U excision...
Abstract Background Among the cleft types, bilateral lip and palate (BCLP) generally requires multiple surgical procedures extended speech therapy to achieve normal development. This study aimed describe outcomes in 5-year-old Korean children with BCLP examine whether could be achieved before starting school. Methods The retrospective analyzed 52 complete who underwent primary palatal surgery at a tertiary medical center. Three speech-language pathologists made perceptual judgments on...
