ABSTRACT

La reconstrucción posterior a una cirugía oncológica resectiva maxilar es todo un desafío. Debido a esto, existen diversas técnicas quirúrgicas cuyo objetivo apunta a mantener no solo la funcionalidad, sino también la estética facial, especialmente en el área del reborde infraorbitario. El injerto de hueso calvarial es una opción segura y versátil para realizar una reconstrucción primaria en el reborde infraorbitario. Esta técnica está indicada en aquellos pacientes en los cuales la resección cutánea y exenteración orbitaria no son necesarias. Por este motivo, a continuación, analizaremos este tipo de injerto a propósito de un caso clínico en el que se usó asociado a un colgajo pediculado de fascia temporoparietal.


Reconstruction after maxillary resective oncological surgery is a challenge. Because of this, there are many surgical techniques whose objective is to maintain not only function but also facial aesthetics, especially in the infraorbital rim area. The calvarial bone graft is a safe and versatile option to perform a primary infraorbital rim reconstruction. This technique is indicated in those patients in whom skin resection and orbital exenteration are not necessary. For this reason, we will now analyze this type of graft in relation to a case in which it was used associated with a temporo-parietal fascia flap.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the surgical effect of repairing soft tissue defect of hand and foot with medial gastrocnemius fascia flap combined with skin graft.Methods:From January, 2018 to June, 2019, 10 patients were treated with transfers of free medial gastrocnemius fascia flaps combined with skin graft to repair soft tissue defect of hand and foot. The size of free fascial flap was 5.0 cm×8.0 cm-12.0 cm×15.0 cm. After successful transfer on the wound, the skin was grafted onto the fascial flap, and the donor site was sutured directly. The appearance and function of the recipient and donor sites were observed and the effect of the operation was evaluated. Sensory recovery was assessed by the standard set by British Medical Research Council (BMRC) at the last follow-up.Results:All the free medial gastrocnemius fascia flap survived. After 6-10 days of granulation tissue growing, the skin grafts were transferred and all survived. All patients entered follow-up for 3-9 months, with an average of 7.5 months. The tissue at the recipient sites were soft and wear-resistant without swelling or ulceration. According to the self-designed evaluation system of soft tissue defect reconstruction, 10 patients had score from 68 to 92 (average, 75.2) . At the last follow-up, sensory recovery was assessed by BMRC, 7 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good.Conclusion:The repair of hand and foot soft tissue defect by the free medial gastrocnemius fascia flap combined with skin graft has advantages in constancy of vascular anatomy of free fascia tissue, long vascular pedicle and for repair of various types of hand and foot defects. Skin of the recipient area is soft with good appearance without swelling after the reconstruction of fascia flap. It is a method of treatment in repair of soft tissue defect of hand and foot by avoiding the thinning of a flap in the second procedure.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the clinical application effects of portable visual retractor in superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting.@*Methods@#From January 2010 to June 2019, 27 patients meeting the inclusion criteria and planning to perform operation of superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting were admitted to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the First Clinical Medical Center of the People′s Liberation Army General Hospital. The patients were divided into traditional surgical method group [6 males and 3 females, aged (34±14) years], cold light source retractor group [6 males and 4 females, aged (35±16) years], and portable visual retractor group [7 males and 1 female, aged (30±14) years] according to way of superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting. The superficial temporal fascia flaps of patients in traditional surgical method group were resected by traditional way of resection, and the superficial temporal fascia flaps of patients in cold light source retractor group and portable visual retractor group were resected at assistance of cold light source retractor and portable visual retractor, respectively. Length of incision, operation time, intraoperative blood loss volume, postoperative drainage volume, and postoperative complication of patients in 3 groups were observed and recorded. Data were processed with Fisher′s exact probability test, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Bonferroni correction.@*Results@#The length of incision of patients in visual retractor group was (3.6±0.8) cm, significantly shorter than (12.6±1.6) cm in traditional surgical method group and (5.8±0.9) cm in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The incision length of patients in traditional surgical method group was significantly longer than that in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The operation time of patients in visual retractor group was 24.0 (23.3, 25.8) min, significantly shorter than 35.0 (30.5, 36.5) min in traditional surgical method group and 28.5 (26.8, 30.5) min in cold light source retractor group (H=16.5, 9.8, P<0.05). The operation time of patients in traditional surgical method group was significantly longer than that in cold light source retractor group (H=6.6, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss volume was (26±3) mL of patients in visual retractor group, significantly less than (34±4) mL in traditional surgical method group and (30±6) mL in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss volume of patients in traditional surgical method group was significantly more than that in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The postoperative drainage volumes of patients in visual retractor group, cold light source retractor group, and traditional surgical method group were (33±4), (34±6), and (31±7) mL, respectively, and there were no significantly statistical differences in postoperative drainage volumes among patients in the three groups (F=0.3, P>0.05). There were no severe complications such as ischemia and necrosis of superficial temporal fascia flaps in patients of the three groups. One patient in cold light source retractor group had subcutaneous hematoma after operation, which was improved by removing stitches and hematoma.@*Conclusions@#Superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting at the assistance of portable visual retractor has the advantages of clear visual field, simple operation, short operation time, small incision, and less intraoperative blood loss.

ABSTRACT

The temporoparietal fascia (TPF) is a robust and distinct layer between the deep temporal fascia and the subcutaneous fat in the temporal region. The TPF is richly vascularized by superficial temporal vessels. Besides, its thin and pliable characteristics with secluded incision and minimal donor site morbidity provide a good option for the plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Recently, the TPF flap was employed to treat some rare diseases such as the laryngotracheal stenosis and pharyngocutaneous fistula. This article extensively reviewed relevant researches on the application of the fascial flaps in recent years.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the application and effect of superficial temporal fascia flap combined with avulsion auricular tissue in emergency auricular restoration.@*Methods@#From June 2015 to December 2015, 6 patients with auricular large area complete avulsion were underwent treatment in Department of Plastic Surgery of General Hospital of Shenyang Military. After thorough debridement, the auricular cartilage scaffold of the avlusion ear and skin was completely stripped. The auricular cartilage was repositioned on its anatomical site and subsequently covered by superficial temporal fascia flap. The free skin was stripped as full-thickness graft to cover the surface of reconstructed ear.@*Results@#All 6 patients with auricle large area complete avulsion achieved immediate repair under emergency condition. The operations were successfully completed and the ears were healed primarily. The patients were followed-up for one year. Five patients with partial auricular avulsion achieved obvious reconstructed auricle profile. The color of reconstructed ear was close to the surrounding skin and the cranioauricular angle was nearly normal. Patients and their families were very satisfied. One patient of total auricular reconstruction had auricular contracture. The auricle profile was not obvious with small size, morphological changes and external auditory canal stenosis.@*Conclusions@#Avulsion auricle and temporal superficial fascia flap can be used to repair partial auricle defects as a first-stage repair with ideal results. It is the best choice for large auricle defects in emergency cases.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasibility and results of the application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap in total ear reconstruction with Medpor framework.Methods The main procedures consisted of three stages:stage Ⅰ-skin expansion,stage Ⅱ auricle formation that consisted of orientation of Medpor implant and creation of coverage for the implant by both expaned skin flap and temporoparietal fascia flap,and stage Ⅲ-treatment of residual ear and recontruction of auricular lobule. Results Twenty-two ears in 22 unilateral microtia patients were constructed using Medpor implants covered with both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap over the last three years,and they were accepted as pleasing by the patients.Conclusions Application of both expanded cutaneous flap and temporoparietal fascia flap can assure no extrusion of Medpor implant in ear reconstruction.Further more,the two layers of transferred tissues will not affect the profile details of the reconstructed ear.And because the skin covering the framework and fascia is derived from frommastoid region,the appearance and profile of the reconstructed auricle is true to nature and close to that of the opposite one.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the methodology and effect of auricle reconstruction with prefabricated expanded fascial flap in temporal and parietal area and skin flap in mastoid area, covered on the Medpor support. Methods Thirty cases of congenital vestigial auricle were involved in this study. The operations were divided into two stages: in the stage I,the temporal and parietal superficial fascia flap was cut with a vascular pedicle in the parietal and temporal superficial area, which was implanted under the skin of mastoid, and then both layers of those were expanded at the same time; in the stage II, this fascial skin flap was cut down and covered on the whole Medpor support to rebuild the man-made auricle. Results Thirty cases were successful after following-up for 6 months to 3 years. Their auricle shapes were vivid; their skin color was normal, and it had no any difference from all around skins, or no any appearance of the support. Conclusions With best understanding the biological characteristics of the Medpor support and choosing the suitable procedures and using the prefabricated expanded support, we could minimize the surgical complications in this operation. The results show that this procedure is satisfactory, without any necrosis of flap, swelling of contour, or appearance of the support. The combination of two flaps is the best method for the auricle reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

Postauricular mastoid cutaneous fistula is the rare complication of chronic otitis media due to the development of antibiotics and many diagnostic tools. Various techniques are recommended to reconstruct mastoid cutaneous fistula including simple closure, bone or cartilage graft and muscle flap coverage. Simple closure often results in a larger fistula because of the necrotic skin edge and dead space. Bone or cartilage graft are not satisfactory due to resorption and infection. Muscle flap is not easy to obliterate the dead space and expect the final volume due to the denervation atrophy. We present a method of closing postauricular mastoid cutaneous fistula by superficial temporalis fascia transposition flap. This method could close the fistula and obliterate the mastoid cavity successfully without complication.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate a new method of arthroplasty by transposing the greater trochanter together with a fascia flap pedicled by a branch of transverse lateral circumflex femoral artery. Methods On the basis of anatomical study, arthroplasty of the hip by transposition of the greater trochanter with fascia flap pedicled by a branch of transverse lateral circumflex femoral artery was performed in 17 patients (18hip). All the patients were followed up for six years and two months to eight years and two months. Results Pain vanished in 10 cases, slight pain remained in 1 patient, walking was nearly normal in 5 patients, and 2 patients were still limping with fast walk. Range of movement of the hip joint was as follows: flexion and extension 60?-120?, adduction 5?-15?, abduction 5?-10?, internal rotation 0?-5?, and external rotation 0?-5?. As shown by radiography, the joint space was obviously enlarged, the configuration of the femoral head was sharp, and the union between the greater trochanter and the femoral head was good. Conclusion Transposition of the greater trochanter with fascia flap pedicled by a branch of transverse lateral circurmflex artery to femoral head could result in a solid union with cartilagenous ossification and satisfactory recovery of function of the hip joint.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Free fascia flaps provide neovascularity without adding bulk and are particularly suited to serve in microvascular transfers to recipient beds carrying an epithelial lining. As such, free fascia flaps may be useful in providing a mucosal lining at the interior side of the reconstructed larynx. This study examines the reliability of a composite reconstruction method using a combined vascular flap for the laryngeal defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A vascularized fascial flap which was consistently present and easy to isolate was developed in dogs. Laryngeal defects were reconstructed with a combined vascular flap consisting of lateral thoracic fascia, which is also used as a transferable vascular be). A buccal mucosa graft was fixed on this bed to provide as an internal lining. An autogenous auricular cartilage graft, circumferentially wrapped in vascular connective tissue, was used as an external support. RESULTS: There were no respiratory distress, limitation of activity, and laryngeal stenosis after the laryngeal reconstruction. CONCLUSION: We have maintained the positive aspects as well as improved the negative aspects of the experiment and devised a new series of experiments which are now in progress. The lateral thoracic fascia is used as a transferable bed with an autogenous cartilage for support. They may be a useful tool for laryngotracheal reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

Tanzer introduced the auricular reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage & full thickness skin graft for congential microtia correction in 1959. After then, many surgeons adapted various modified methods for total ear reconstruction. However, there are some problems in the stage of ear elevation with the conservative technique. Due to scar contracture, the auriculocephalic angle cannot be maintained with the skin graft alone. Nagata tried to overcome this problem by inserting rib cartilage covered by temporoparietal fascia to the elevated cartilage frame. However, this technique also induced several problems. 1st, it leaves a long scar and alopecia on the temporal scalp. 2nd, Nagata method requires a lot of cartilage in order to fabricate the 3-dimensional framework, sometimes leaving no cartilages to be used for the semilunar pillow in the ear elevation procedure. 3rd, this method cannot be used if the temporoparietal fascia was already used for another reason such as cartilage framework exposure. To overcome these problems, we used the silicone block and mastoid fascia flap instead of semilunar cartilage pillow and temporoparietal fascia flap. Since silicone is not an absorbable material, it can maintain good auriculocephalic angle. Furthemore, due to the excellent blood circulation of the mastoid fascia flap, there is a strong resistance to postoperative complications such as infection and extrusion. Other advantages are that it leaves short scars and is esthetically tolerable. This method may preserve the temporoparietal fascia and therefore, may be prepared for the 2ndary operation in case of the exposure of framework. From March 1995 to July 1997, 18 patients (14 males and 4 females) who ranged in age from 9 to 23 years underwent ear elevation using the silicone block and mastoid fascia flap. These patients had previous rib cartilage graft operations at 6 months before these operations. We did not find any complications such as infection, silicone implant extrusion and decreased auriculocephalic angle. During 6 to 26 months follow-up period (average follow-up period; 12 months), there was no case of decreased auriculocephalic angle. The clinical result of this technique was excellent at the stage of ear elevation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the expressive levels of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in tissue-engineered bone with fascia flap in vivo. Method A segmental bone defect 1.5cm in length was made at the both radius of 12 healthy New Zealand rabbits. The defects were repaired by implantation in two ways: for left radius, engineered bone with fascia flap was implanted (served as experiment group), and for right radius only engineered bone was implanted (served as control group). 3, 6 and 12 months after implantation, the expressions of CGRP and NPY in the new bone were determined with immunohistochemistry and semi-quantified using image analysis software. Results CGRP and NPY expressions in the both groups were significantly increased in a time-dependent manner (P
