Background: Scarpa fascia preservation has been suggested as a way of reducing complications associated with conventional abdominoplasty. A prospective randomized study was conducted to evaluate the effect on results and preserving during full Methods: This single-center from August 2009 February 2011. Patients were assigned randomly one two procedures: classic abdominoplasty (group A) or similar type except for deep fat compartment in infraumbilical area B). Four surgeons involved study....

Preservation of the Scarpa fascia has been suggested as a way lowering complications associated with conventional abdominoplasty. Objective evidence regarding this strategy is lacking. The purpose investigation was to evaluate effect preserving in infraumbilical area during full abdominoplasty.A prospective study performed at single center from November 2005 2007 patients submitted abdominoplasty umbilical transposition. Two groups were identified: group A, classic abdominoplasty; and B,...

The principles of neurocutaneous flaps, first described by Masquelet in 1992, represented a new concept skin vascularization. distally based superficial sural artery flap is an example this kind flap, which supplied the vascular axis that accompanies nerve. authors treated 36 patients with flaps. All flaps survived, but six them exhibited partial necrosis. No patient experienced anesthesia lateral side foot or neuroma at donor site 12 months after surgery. confirmed very useful for...

Endoscopy has provided a significant improvement in the surgical rejuvenation of upper face. It offers minimally invasive alternative that avoids many undesirable effects associated with coronal approach. The standard minimal access forehead endoscopic procedure consists subperiosteal undermining through three small triangular prehairline incisions. To successfully elevate eyebrows, it is essential to release periosteum at level supraorbital rims and ablate brow depressor muscles glabella....

The midface is an area where definite and consistent improvement still hard to achieve. Vertical suspension of the malar fat pad effective lift that complements facial rejuvenation obtain overall appearance youth beauty while maintaining personal features patient. To substantiate its effectiveness, authors evaluated complications long-term results elevation proper in conjunction with other procedures. A retrospective review medical records 458 consecutive patients who underwent by senior...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect dissection technique on outcomes and complications after a full abdominoplasty, comparing 2 different techniques used raise abdominal flap: steel scalpel diathermocoagulation device coagulation mode.A prospective performed at single center from January 2009 December 2011 patients submitted abdominoplasty with umbilical transposition. Two groups were identified: group A, scalpel/knife; B, mode. Several variables determined: general...

Background and aim: Facial defects (from neoplasms, trauma, etc.) can be functionally emotionally devastating. A non-invasive treatment for these is the application of external prostheses. Conventionally, prostheses are fabricated by an anaplastologist through a manual procedure, which expensive time-consuming approach. Current advances in computational engineering tools report improvement design manufacturing silicone This demand motivated this study that aims to develop methodology...

The plane of dissection used during a full abdominoplasty has been implicated on the seroma rate. Avoiding classic top rectus fascia and using more superficial suggested as strategy to improve recovery lower complication authors have applying this principle in their practice for than decade, they performed 2 prospective comparative studies evaluate clinical effects (with Scarpa preservation) abdominoplasty.The technique is presented explained along with results both studies.The are discussed...

Microsurgical hand reconstruction can be the first option to consider in some particular and complex clinical situations. An algorithm based on anatomical considerations functional outcomes, may useful for plastic surgeon that deals with these challenging cases.

Background: Abdominoplasty using a more superficial plane of dissection has several advantages. Previous studies described trilaminar structure (superficial and deep fat compartments separated by the Scarpa fascia) in lower abdominal wall. This study aimed to gain clearer understanding compartment dominance changes with increasing adiposity. Methods: The was performed on surgical specimens 41 female patients submitted full abdominoplasty. A morphometric 82 sides evaluate thickness layers at...

Scarpa fascia preservation during abdominoplasty has been shown to reduce complications associated with the traditional technique. As an extension of a previously published randomized controlled trial, this study aims clarify whether influence on scar quality or sensibility recovery.This was single-center clinical involving 160 patients randomly assigned one two surgical procedures: classic full (group A) and B). Patients were later convoked assess abdominal cutaneous sensibility. Scar...

Background Abdominoplasty is becoming increasingly more common, with seroma being the most frequent complication. Suction drains are used very often as a method to prevent formation, and it has been suggested that techniques using Scarpa fascia preservation closed-suction have lower rates than other approaches. However few studies addressed parameters may affect drain efficiency. A prospective comparative study was conducted determine if applying 2 or 3 drains, after an abdominoplasty...

Traumatic auricular amputation due to human bite is not a common event, but it constitutes difficult challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Microsurgery can be performed in some cases, replantation of severed ear without microsurgery safe alternative. We present case 44-year-old male individual who was involved fight and sustained bite, resulting almost complete his right ear. The Baudet technique has been used successfully. It simple very reliable because allows great surface contact...

Abstract Advances in neonatal care have led to an increase the survival rate of children with large congenital diaphragmatic defects. Reconstruction by direct closure is not usually possible and surgical correction newborn consists synthetic patch closure. Recurrence complications are high this technique a latter reconstruction living tissue now advocated. We report case hernia treated initially 10 months latter, after recurrence, reinnervated reverse latissimus dorsi (RLD) flap. used...
