ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: For patients with Poland's syndrome, a transverse skin fold in the anterior axillary pillar, infra-clavicular depression and an anomalous breast contour are the most uncomfortable disfigurements. This study aims to demonstrate that superior aesthetic results can be achieved by using a laparoscopically harvested omentum flap to treat this condition. METHODS: From a prospectively maintained clinical database of patients undergoing a laparoscopic omentum flap procedure for breast reconstruction, all of the patients with Poland's syndrome were identified and their outcomes were studied. RESULTS: Thirteen consecutive patients with Poland's syndrome were treated and evaluated regarding breast contour, reconstruction of the anterior axillary pillar and filling of the infra-clavicular depression. Implants were employed beneath the flap in 76 percent of cases to improve symmetry. In 23 percent of cases, a contra-lateral mastopexy was performed, and in 15 percent of cases, a breast implant was used. The consistency of the flap is similar to natural breast tissue and only a small incision in the breast fold is needed. The majority of patients (85 percent) were female, with a mean age of 26 (18-53). The flap is extremely malleable, adapts to irregular surfaces, and has a long vascular pedicle. Additionally, its removal does not leave a scar at the donor site as the removal of muscular flaps does. For example, the removal of the latissimus dorsi flap causes a deformity in the dorsal contour. The mean operative time was 201 minutes (80-350) and the mean hospital stay was 2.3 days (1-5). CONCLUSIONS: The outcomes of these patients revealed that the omentum flap technique provided superior amelioration of the deformities caused by Poland's syndrome when compared with other reconstructive options.

ABSTRACT

Neste estudo, foram realizadas ovário-histerectomias laparoscópicas em 24 caninos. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos foram realizados sob anestesia geral, com os animais em decúbito dorsal. A cavidade abdominal foi puncionada com a agulha de Veress e foi insuflada com CO2. Os animais foram entäo colocados em posiçäo de Trendelenburg, e quatro trocartes foram introduzidos em diferentes regiöes da parede abdominal. Após a identificaçäo do útero, os vasos uterinos foram isolados e ligados com dois clipes de titânio. O corpo do útero foi seccionado cranialmente à cérvix. A bursa ovariana foi exposta, e o ligamento suspensor foi apreendido com uma pinça. Procedeu-se à aplicaçäo de um clipe neste ligamento previamente a sua secçäo. O complexo arteriovenoso ovariano foi ligado com um clipe e depois foi seccionado em conjunto com o mesovário. O ligamento redondo e o mesométrio foram seccionados com tesoura e cauterizaçäo monopolar. O útero e ambos os ovários foram retirados em bloco da cavidade por uma das incisöes existentes. A principal complicaçäo transoperatória foi a ocorrência de hemorragia, que ocasionou um óbito e uma conversäo para cirurgia aberta. Na maioria dos animais, esta complicaçäo foi adequadamente controlada pela aplicaçao de clipes e/ou utilizaçäo de cauterizaçäo monopolar. A realizaçäo de ovário-histerectomia em caninos por cirurgia laparoscópica demonstrou ser viável, e a técnica descrita para este procedimento mostrou-se adequada
