ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study is executed to identify and report the treatment effects of oral mucosa grafting of prosthetic eye patients who have shallow conjunctival socket caused by socket contraction. METHODS: Conjunctival sac reconstruction was performed by using the lower lip mucosa to 11 eyes of 11 patients diagnosed with contracted conjunctival sac at the ophthalmic clinic from August 2009 to May 2015, and a retrospective analysis was performed with medical record data from the patients who were followed-up after surgery. RESULTS: Within the follow-up period, prosthetic eye insertion was possible for all 11 eyes of the 11 patients. All of them were satisfied in an aesthetic aspect, and were able to maintain deep conjunctival sac without receving findings of graft absorption, or re-contracted or shallow conjunctival sac during the follow-up period. On the donor region, normal epithelialization occurred. Concerning the donor region for the first week after surgery, the mean score of the patients' pain was 3.18 +/- 0.94 points measured by a numerical rating scale, and no infection, bleeding, contraction, or cicatrix was revealed during the follow-up period. There were hypoesthesia, pararthria, and paresthesia (tingling sense) for post-complications from the donor region, and four patients out of the 11 patients complained of discomfort resulting from post-complications; whereas the remaining seven patients did not complain of discomfort. CONCLUSIONS: Oral mucosa can be considered as a good graft for contracted conjunctival sac reconstruction for patients who cannot wear a prosthetic eye.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of the new method with bilateral lip mueosa flaps for central defect reconstruction of upper-lip vermilion. Methods On both sides of the central defect of upper lip vermilion, reverse triangular flaps was designed below the junction between vermilion and mucosal. These two flaps had the common pedicle of vermilion depression site. Incisions of "(λ)" shape were de-signed below the defect area and the flaps included mucosa and submucous tissue. This mueosa flaps were raised and orbicularis otis muscles under the flaps were free moderately. Bilateral orbicularis oris muscles were sutured under the common pedicle of the two mucosa flaps. Then the bilateral mucosa flaps were ro-tated down 90° and inserted into the " (λ)" shape incisions to increase the tissue volume of the middle upper lip and deepen the labiogingival sulcus. The common pediele of the bilateral mucosa flaps was formed to the vermilion tubercle and then the incisions were sutured layer by layer. Results The technique was per-formed on 26 patients including 18 cases of upper-lip vermilion defect after repair of bilateral cleft lip,4 ca-ses of upper-lip vermilion defect after repair of unilateral cleft lip and 4 cases of congenital malformation. All the lip mucosa flaps survived completely without any complications. The vermilion, tubercle and shape of the lips were satisfactory after all cases were repaired and all incision scars were concealed. Con-clusions Using the lip mucosa flaps transfer to repair vermilion defect with the same tissue can obtain satisfactory appearance. The lip mucosa flaps are ideal for repairing of the lip vermilion defect and recove-ring of the profile of labial arch and vermilion tubercle. It can be used widely in any cases with the central defect of upper lip vermilion.

ABSTRACT

Condyloma lata is a common manifestation of secondary syphilis, but involvement of the lip mucosa is rare. Nodular lesions, especially solitary nodules, are uncommon manifestations of secondary syphilis, and only a few cases have been described. Failure to recognize condyloma lata of the lip mucosa may delay diagnosis and treatment. A 20-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of a solitary nodule on his upper lip mucosa. A diagnosis of condyloma lata was made on the basis of serologic tests for syphilis and pathological findings. We report an interesting case of condyloma lata on the upper lip mucosa that showed an unusual clinical manifestation of secondary syphilis.
