ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application and effect of plastic surgery in emergency treatment of facial soft tissue injuries,and to explore the better plastic surgery method for facial soft tissue injuries in order to regain the patient facial morphology and function maximally.Methods The clinical data of 798 patients with facial soft tissue injuries from June 2009 to June 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.And plastic surgical techniques were applied to the early treatment of facial soft tissue injuries in this group cases,according to the size of defect and the degree of deformity of the patient,different plastic surgery treatment was chosen,such as skin flap or skin graft to repair wound surfaces.In this process,one must follow sterile noninvasive principle strictly with emphasis on the technique of plastic surgery such as entire debridement,wound healing application of skin flap and so on.Results 790 cases of facial soft tissue injuries were healed by first intention without significant complications,while 8 cases of them had mild scars.During 6 to 12 months of follow-up,neither scar,nor infections and necrosis of the wound region occurred,and the morphology and function of patients' face recovered well without the second operation.Conclusions Using plastic surgery techniques in the emergency treatment of facial soft tissue injuries as soon as possible can avoid the disfigurement and the function disturbance,and promote the facial morphology and function regeneration rapidly and effectively.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the diagnostic value of fiberoptic ductoscopy(FDS) on the nipple discharge. Methods The clinical data of fifty two consecutive patients with nipple discharge undergoing FDS from November 1998 to April 1999 were retrospectively analysed. Results A total of 62 ducts in 52 patients were successfully examined by FDS. Intraductal tumor of the breast was found in 14 cases(4 cancer and 10 papilloma). The diagnostic rate of FDS on intraductal tumor was 100%; and 85.7% of these patients were microlesions. Six cases were diagnosed as mastitis. Thirty two normal duct cavities presented just simple dilatation. In 73.7% of non tumor patients, the nipple discharge disappeared after irregation via FDS. Conclusions As a simple technique and a minimal traumatic endoscopy, FDS would be useful in detection of the microlesions of breast and might become a new diagnostic method of nipple discharge instead of ductography.
