ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the clinical effect of small incision approach conjoint fascial sheath (CFS) suspension in the treatment of congenital severe blepharoptosis, and to discuss its advantages and disadvantages compared with conventional CSF suspension.Methods:From February 2020 to August 2022, 42 cases of severe blepharoptosis in the Department of Burn, Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital were divided into the observation group (23 cases, 39 eyes) and the control group (19 cases, 37 eyes). The observation group was treated with small incision CFS suspension surgery, while the control group was treated with conventional CFS suspension surgery. The correction effect, complications, recovery time and other conditions between the two groups at different times after surgery were compared.Results:During postoperative follow-up at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, there was no significant difference in the corrective effect between the two surgical methods at each time point (all P>0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group at each time point that was 26.3%, 15.7%, 10.5%, and 5.2%, respectively, while the incidence of complications in the control group was 60.0%, 20.0%, 14.2%, and 8.6%, with statistical differences in the first week after surgery (χ 2=8.74, P=0.011). The average postoperative swelling time in the observation group was 4.2 days, which was less than 5.8 days in the control group. During a 6-month follow-up, it was found that there was a decrease in scar hyperplasia in the observation group of 9.1% (2/22) compared to the control group of 16.7% (3/18) (χ 2=0.023, P=0.878). The difference was of no statistical significance. Conclusions:CFS suspension with small incision in the treatment of moderate and severe blepharoptosis has the advantages of ideal correction effect, small damage range, and few postoperative complications, but the operation area is small, the operation is difficult, and the surgeon has higher requirements.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of delayed skin grafting combined traction in severe joint cicatricial contracture.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>At the first stage, the joint cicatricial contracture was released completely with protection of vessels, nerves and tendons. The wound was covered with allogenetic skin or biomaterials. After skin traction for 7-14 days, the joint could reach the extension position. Then the skin graft was performed on the wound. 25 cases were treated from Mar. 2000 to May. 2013.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Primary healing was achieved at the second stage in all the cases. The skin graft had a satisfactory color and elasticity. Joint function was normal. All the patients were followed up for 3 months to 11 years with no hypertrophic scar and contraction relapse, except for one case who didn' t have enough active exercise on shoulder joint.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Delayed skin grafting combined traction can effectively increase the skin graft survival rate and improve the joint function recovery.</p>

Objective To study the availability of escharectomy in shock phase and its role in preventing complications.Methods To make an analysis between the escharectomies and skin grafting of 79 cases in or beyond shock phase in the incidence of sepsis,visceral complications,MODS,mortality,healing time and the expenditure.Result The cases of the early operations revealed much better consequences than those performed beyond shock phase.Conclusion The escharectomy in shock phase proves to be available and significant in reducing post burn complications.
