Objective: presenting the report of two patients with tooth agenesis in which five autotransplanted teeth were used as a treatment modality. Furthermore, the aim is to show questions about the surgical technique and its indications and predictability. Case report: In this study, 5 cases of dental autotransplantation were reported in two young patients, in which the team performed procedures and had clinical and radiographic follow-up for 5 and 7 years. Due to the high sensitivity of the technique, principles previously established in the literature involving dental autotransplantation were followed. During the follow-up period, the teeth remained in position and function and the patients had no associated complaints. Final considerations: the dental autotransplantation technique, when well indicated and executed, is capable of achieving very satisfactory results, being a great rehabilitative alternative, with high success rates and reduced costs. However, criteria regarding donor and receptor sites and the surgeon's skill must be taken into account for the success of the technique.

Objective:To explore the application experience of autologous fat transplantation in improving the facial contour of young cosmetic patients.Methods:From October 2017 to October 2020, the plastic surgery department of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital admitted 10 young cosmetic patients with poor facial contours, including 1 male and 9 females, aged 18-35 years, with an average of 28 years. Autologous subcutaneous fat was harvested by liposuction and static purification and then injected into the areas with poor facial contour with an amount of 10%-30% over.Results:The facial contour of 10 young cosmetic patients was well improved, and there were no postoperative complications such as facial asymmetry, local uneven skin, skin infection and necrosis or fat embolism. 8 cases were filled once and 2 cases were filled twice. The patients were followed up for 6-24 months and the postoperative effect was good. The excellent and good rate evaluated by patients, plastic surgeon and the third party doctor was more than 80%.Conclusions:The use of autologous fat to improve the facial contour of young cosmetic patients is easy to operate with less trauma and good effect, which is worthy of promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of dermal and subcutaneous injection of autologous peripheral blood nucleated cells in improving periocular wrinkles.Methods:Eighteen cases of beauty seekers who planned to improve periocular wrinkles were selected as the research objects of this study. Autologous nucleated cells and blood active components were isolated and purified by negative collection mixed method and evenly injected into the periocular skin of patients. VISIA image analysis system, and satisfactory score were used to detect and evaluate the related characteristics of periocular skin at different stages before and after treatment. The scores were compared and analyzed, and the complications after treatment were recorded.Results:The 18 patients were followed up. The score of VISIA periorbital static wrinkles decreased from (22.09±8.21) before treatment to (18.31±7.84) one month after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-7.495, P<0.05). 17 patients were satisfied; After 3 months of follow-up, 15 cases were satisfied. The texture, consistency and pore state of periorbital skin were improved in some patients (10 cases). Conclusions:Autologous peripheral blood nucleated cell therapy can improve periorbital wrinkles, especially skin fine lines, and geta high satisfactory rate. There are almost no adverse reactions after the treatment, which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mid-term efficacy of liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous tumor segment bone replantation for repairing bone defects after resection of malignant tumors in the long bone shaft.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 16 patients treated with liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous bone graft at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from July 2015 to June 2017 to repair defects caused by malignant tumour resection of the diaphysis. There were 10 males and 6 females with a mean age of 23.4±11.6 years (range, 8-44 years), including 8 classic osteosarcoma, 2 high-grade surface osteosarcoma, 4 Ewing's sarcoma, 1 periosteal osteosarcoma, and 1 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Tumors were located in the humerus in 2 cases, in the femur in 8 cases and in the tibia in 6 cases. The mean length of tumor was 12.4±4.8 cm (range, 5.5-26 cm). Postoperative imaging examination was performed every 6 months, and the healing status of the transplanted bone-host bone was evaluated based on the imaging assessment method of the International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) imaging assessment after allogeneic bone transplantation, and the complications were assessed using the Henderson classification. The five-year survival rate for patients and grafted bone was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:The median follow-up was 64 (60.3, 69.8) months. At the end of follow-up, 13 patients were tumour free and 3 patients died of multiple metastases at 19, 20 and 33 months after surgery. There were 32 osteotomy ends in 16 patients, of which 30 healed, including 11 metaphyseal osteotomy ends, and the healing time was 9 (6, 12) months after replantation of the tumour segment with liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous bone; 19 osteotomy ends in the diaphysis took 13 (9, 21) months to heal, with a statistically significant difference in healing time between different sites ( Z=-2.25, P=0.025). Sixteen patients had six complications, including two cases of non-union at the diaphyseal site, one case of failure of internal fixation due to non-union, three cases of recurrence, and no soft tissue complications or infections. One patient with failed internal fixation was treated with a vascularized tip iliac bone graft that healed 6 months after surgery. Another patient died of multiple metastases with 1 unhealed diaphysis left. Three cases of recurrence were all located in the extracranial soft tissue of the autologous tumor segment inactivated by liquid nitrogen. Among them, one case underwent reoperation and local radiotherapy, and there was still no tumor survival after 65 months of surgery, and two cases died due to multiple metastases. The five-year survival rate of patients was 81% as calculated using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and the graft survival rate was 100%. There was no amputation and the limb salvage rate was 100%. Conclusion:The use of liquid nitrogen-inactivated autologous tumor segment bone replantation for reconstruction of bone defects after resection of malignant tumors in the shaft has advantages of higher healing rate, shorter healing time at the metaphyseal end compared to the osteotomy end, fewer complications, and higher survival rate of the replanted bone.
ABSTRACT
Femoral head fracture is commonly seen in high-energy injury. However, compression fracture of femoral head is more rare. In most classifications of femoral head fracture, the compression is unusually involved. A case about acute traumatic dislocation of hip joint with compression fracture of femoral head is reported, involving a patient who hurt himself by riding electric bike and hitting the flower bed. He came to our hospital complaining of pain and limited motion of his right leg. The diagnosis of right hip anterior dislocation with the compression fracture of femoral head was confirmed by medical history, physical examination and imaging. Closed reduction of hip dislocation was performed in an emergency. Then we transplanted the bone cartilage from the non-weight-bearing area under the femoral head to the collapsed weight-bearing area, fixing it with countersunk hollow screws, and then the non-weight-bearing donor area was reconstructed with autogenous iliac bone, using surgical hip dislocation. The anatomical structure of the femoral head was therefore restored successfully during the operation. Three months after surgery, the X-ray showed that the femoral head was smooth and the cartilage graft was well fixed. Eight months after surgery, the patient gradually increased the bearing weight from partial to full according to his own condition, and there was no obvious pain in hip. After 24-month follow-up, we found the X-rays showed good reduction and fixation of the femoral head fracture. The CT scan showed no necrosis or cystic degeneration. He got well-active and passive movement in hip joint, and got no pain when walking with burden. For the patient with hip dislocation and compression fracture of femoral head, early joint reduction and non-weight-bearing osteocartilage transplantation can restore the anatomical structure of the weight-bearing area of the femoral head, to avoid traumatic osteoarthritis, and to improve the long-term quality of life of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate-autologous iliac bone combined with sural neurocutaneous flap in the one-stage treatment of chronic calcaneus osteomyelitis plus skin and soft tissue defects.Methods:From January 2013 to September 2019, 48 patients were admitted to Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Xi'an Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University for chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis complicated with skin and soft tissue defects. They were divided into 2 groups according to different bone grafts. In group A of 26 patients treated at one stage by antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate-autologous iliac bone combined with sural neurocutaneous flap, there were 16 males and 10 females with an age of (45.0±11.7) years and an area of skin defect of (56.0±16.7) cm 2. In group B of 22 patients treated at one stage by simple autologous iliac bone combined with sural neurocutaneous flap, there were 13 males and 9 females with an age of (43.6±9.6) years and an area of skin defect of (53.8±16.2) cm 2. The volume of the ilium harvested, fracture healing time, infection control, donor site complications, pain score of visual analogue scale (VAS) and function recovery of the ankle were compared between the 2 groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The 48 patients were followed up for (15.3±6.0) months. Group A had a significantly smaller volume of the ilium harvested [(67.3±14.1) cm 3] than group B [(90.7±23.5) cm 3], a significantly lower rate of donor site complications [3.8% (1/26)] than group B [31.8% (7/22)], significantly lower VAS pain scores at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours than group B, and significantly lower WBC count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein at 2, 4, 8 weeks after operation than group B (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the infection control rate [96.2% (25/26) versus 77.3% (17/22)], the fracture healing time [(6.2±1.9) months versus (6.4±2.1) months], or the ankle-hindfoot score of AOFAS (The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) (83.9±7.2 versus 82.5±8.7) at 6 months after operation (all P>0.05). Conclusion:In one-stage treatment of chronic calcaneal osteomyelitis complicated with skin and soft tissue defects, compared with simple autologous iliac bone combined with sural neurocutaneous flap, antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate-autologous iliac bone combined with sural neurocutaneous flap can reduce the volume of the ilium harvested, pain score of VAS, and incidence of donor site complications, and improve the recovery of inflammatory indicators, leading to fine clinical effects.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the efficacy of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using tendon autograft with figure-of-four position and traditional knee hyperflexed position for femoral tunnel creation.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 46 patients with ACL injury admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from August 2019 to October 2019, including 26 males and 20 females; aged 24-40 years [(31.1±7.5)years]. All patients underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using tendon autograft. The femoral tunnel was created with figure-of-four position in 21 patients (figure-of-four position group) and with traditional knee hyperflexed position in 25 patients (knee hyperflexed position group). The operation time was compared between the two groups. The center position, length and angle of femoral tunnel were evaluated and measured by three dimensional CT reconstruction and Bernard quadrant method at 8 weeks postoperatively. The knee function was assessed by knee Lysholm score preoperatively, at 8 weeks and at 1 year postoperatively. Complications were observed as well.Results:All patients were followed up for 2-20 months [(15.3±2.1)months]. The operation time was (28.5±2.6)minutes in figure-of-four position group, significantly less than (39.5±2.4)minutes in knee hyperflexed position group ( P<0.05). The tunnel center position was located at (27.1±1.4)% and (25.1±2.6)% within the Bernard quadrant in figure-of-four position group, similar with (28.1±2.8)% and (26.1±3.1)% in knee hyperflexed position group (all P>0.05). Total tunnel length and thick tunnel length were (42.1±2.4)mm and (34.1±2.4)mm in figure-of-four position group, significantly longer than (38.2±2.5)mm and (31.1±2.7)mm in knee hyperflexed position group (all P<0.05). The coronal plane angle of the tunnel was (41.1±2.4)° in figure-of-four position group, significantly smaller than (47.5±2.6)° in knee hyperflexed position group ( P<0.05). The sagittal plane angle of the tunnel was (42.1±1.4)° in figure-of-four position group, significantly greater than (37.1±1.8)° in knee hyperflexed position group ( P<0.05). Figure-of-four position group showed the knee Lysholm score of (53.4±5.2)points preoperatively, (97.1±1.4)points at 8 weeks postoperatively and (98.3±2.3)points at 1 year postoperatively. Knee hyperflexed position group showed the knee Lysholm score of (54.3±7.4)points preoperatively, (97.1±1.6)points at 8 weeks postoperatively and (98.1±1.3)points at 1 year postoperatively. The knee Lysholm score did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P>0.05), but the knee function was significantly improved in both groups when compared with that before the operation (all P<0.05). There were 1 patient with femoral tunnel fracture, one with injury to the medial condylar cartilage and one with injury to the posterior root of lateral meniscus in knee hyperflexed position group, while no above-mentioned complications occurred in figure-of-four position group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using tendon autograft with femoral tunnel creation through figure-of-four position and traditional knee hyperflexed position can both contribute knee functional recovery, but the figure-of-four position has the advantages of short operation time, accurate tunnel positioning, favorable length and angle of the tunnel and less complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the causes of buccal masses after temporal autologous fat grafting, and to summarize the therapeutic methods to avoid medical disputes.Methods:Ten female patients (25-40 years; mean age, 33.1±7.5 years) with buccal mass complication after temporal autologous fat grafting were retrospectively analyzed, and statistics was done on their fat injection history, postoperative buccal mass symptom onset time, intraoperative mass conditions, postoperative pathological and fluid bacterial culture results, and postoperative recovery.Results:The unilateral temporal fat injection volume was 15-30 ml, and the buccal masses occurred 1-6 months after temporal autologous fat grafting. Lipoid masses were found in the buccal space during the operation, and some of them contained liquid. The postoperative pathological results indicated local necrosis in fibrotic adipose tissues. All the fluid bacteria cultures were negative, only one showed positive culture of acid-fast bacilli. 6-12 months postoperative follow-up visit was performed, and 9 patients recovered and 1 patient recovered after re-operation.Conclusions:The overfilled fat and liquefied necrotic fat after temporal fat grafting may move down to buccal space to form buccal masses, which should be treated by operation early to achieve a good prognosis.
ABSTRACT
In the process of radical resection of abdominal malignant tumors, large blood vessels are often invaded, which not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also directly affects the curative effect and prognosis. As the concept of expanded radical surgery combined with vascular resection and reconstruction and related techniques have been gradually recognized, surgeons have begun to use autologous, allogeneic or artificial vessels to repair the defective blood vessels during surgery, so as to achieve the effect of radical surgery. However, due to the short comings of these materials, scholars have been looking for better alternatives. In view of the fact that the mesothelial cells of the peritoneum and the endothelial cells of the blood vessels have many similarities in embryology, histology and physiology, and peritoneum is also easier to obtain than autologous, allogeneic or artificial vessels. To make the autologous peritoneum into a patch for repairing the defective blood vessels is feasible in theoretical and technical. In this paper, we review the current research progress of autologous peritoneal patch to repair blood vessels of defect.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of embedding suture in pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival transplantation, and to compare the differences between embedding suture, continuous suture and intermittent suture.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted.One hundred and twenty patients (120 eyes) with primary pterygium, who underwent pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival transplantation in Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital from May to July 2020, were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into the embedding suture group, continuous suture group and interrupted suture group, with 40 eyes in each group.The operation duration was recorded and the patients received follow-up visit at 0.5, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14 days and 1, 3 and 6 months after the operation.The five-point method was used to record the postoperative pain score.The corneal epithelial healing was evaluated by sodium fluorescein staining.The complications such as graft detachment, graft displacement or pterygium recurrence were observed with a slit lamp microscope.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital (No.SHAIER2020RB03). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical examination.Results:The operation time of continuous suture, interrupted suture and embedding suture was (14.45±2.78), (16.28±2.24) and (16.58±2.22) minutes, respectively, and the overall difference was statistically significant ( F=8.98, P<0.05). The operation time of continuous suture was significantly shorter than that of interrupted suture and embedding suture (both at P<0.017), and there was no significant difference between embedding suture and interrupted suture ( P>0.017). There was a statistically significant overall difference in pain scores among the three groups at various time points after the operation ( P<0.05). At 0.5, 1, 3, 7 and 10 days after the operation, the pain scores of embedding suture were lower than those of continuous suture and interrupted suture (all at P<0.05). On the 7th day after the operation, there was no significant difference in the unhealed rate of corneal epithelium among the three groups ( P=1.000). On the 10th day after the operation, the corneal epithelia of the three groups were all healed.During the six months after the operation, no complications such as displacement, detachment, necrosis, infection of graft and eye movement disorder occurred in the three groups.There was no significant difference in the recurrence rate of pterygium ( P=1.000). Conclusions:Embedding suture method can effectively reduce the irritation symptoms after pterygium conjunctival transplantation, and has stable fixation of implants.Compared with the traditional interrupted suture, it does not increase the recurrence rate, incidence of adverse reactions, operation time and economic burden of patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of inferior epigastric artery perforator flap transplantation in repairing traumatic soft tissue defects of lower limbs.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 34 patients with traumatic soft tissue defects of lower limbs admitted to Chongqing Great Wall Hospital from January 2019 to May 2021, including 31 males and 3 females; aged 12-65 years [(38.5±5.6)years]. There were 8 patients with defects on the calf and 26 on the ankle. All wounds were found with exposed tendons, muscles and/or bones. The area of soft tissue defects ranged from 10 cm×6 cm to 40 cm×11 cm. All patients were repaired with inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. The wound healing, flap survival and recovery were observed. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopedic Foot and ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score were used to evaluate pain and ankle function before operation and at 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after operation. The complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-36 months [(19.5±5.3)months]. All wounds were healed by stage I, showing the healing time of 14-24 days [(17.6±2.8)days]. All flaps survived with good color, soft texture and satisfactory appearance, with no obvious swelling. All flaps produced protective sensation. The VAS was (4.3±0.8)points, (3.3±0.7)points, (1.4±0.5)points, (1.2±0.3)points, (0.8±0.2)points and (0.4±0.1)points at 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after operation, decreased gradually from preoperative (7.4±1.3)points (all P<0.05). The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was (35.6±3.1)points, (42.6±3.6)points, (50.3±4.3)points, (56.2±5.6)points, (60.3±6.8)points and (65.3±9.0)points at 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after operation, increased from preoperative (22.4±2.5)points (all P<0.05). The ankle function was excellent in 25 patients, good in 5 and fair in 4 at 12 months after operation, with an excellent and good rate of 88.2%. Venous crisis occurred in 3 patients after operation, and the flaps survived completely after venous reanastomosis or venous bridging. Conclusion:For traumatic soft tissue defects of lower limbs, inferior epigastric artery perforator flap transplantation has advantages of enhanced survival of flaps, satisfactory appearance, attenuated pain, good functional recovery and few complications.

ABSTRACT
Introdução: O tratamento de câncer de mama através de mastectomia causa grande impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes, ocasionando um número crescente de buscas por procedimentos reconstrutivos. O enxerto de gordura, também conhecido como lipoenxertia, foi descrito pela primeira vez em 1893, por Neuber, tendo aumentado o seu uso e aceitação no decorrer dos anos. De acordo com a Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, as cirurgias reparadoras correspondem a 39,7% dos procedimentos plásticos realizados no Brasil, com as reconstruções mamárias sendo 6,1% desse número, configurando parte do tratamento do câncer de mama. O presente estudo objetivou revisar o uso de lipoenxertia na reconstrução mamária após tratamento do câncer de mama. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura utilizando os bancos de da-dos PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS e SciELO, através dos descritores: "breast reconstruction"; "fat grafting"; and "breast cancer". Resultados: No total, foram encontrados 838 artigos nas bases de dados pesquisadas, dos quais 20 foram selecionados para a extração dos dados após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Conclusão: Constatou-se que a gordura autóloga é um procedimento bem estabelecido para reconstrução mamária, apesar de apresentar algumas possíveis complicações. Ademais, mais estudos a longo prazo devem ser realizados visando conso-lidar o entendimento e segurança do procedimento.
Introduction: The treatment of breast cancer through mastectomy greatly impacts patients' quality of life, causing an increasing number of searches for reconstructive procedures. The fat graft, also known as lipografting, was described by Neuber in 1893, and has increased its use and acceptance over the years. According to the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery), reconstructive surgeries correspond to 39.7% of plastic procedures performed in Brazil, with breast reconstructions being 6.1% of this number, constituting part of breast cancer treatment. The present study aimed to review the use of lipografting in breast reconstruction after breast cancer treatment. Methods: A review of the literature was carried out using the databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO, using the descriptors: "breast reconstruction"; "fat grafting"; and "breast cancer". Results: In total, 838 articles were found in the databases searched, of which 20 were selected for data extraction after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusion: It was found that autologous fat is a well-established procedure for mammary reconstruction, despite presenting some possible complications. Furthermore, more long-term studies should be conducted to address the understanding and safety of the procedure.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the surgical effect of hip arthroscopic labrum reconstruction. A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 12 patients who underwent hip arthroscopic labrum reconstruction in our department from September 2017 to February 2021 and were followed up for 5-46 months, with an average of 21.5 months. All the patients had a hip joint space of more than 2 mm, and Tonnis grade less than level Ⅱ. These 12 patients underwent arthroscopic debridement of hyperplastic synovium, femoral head and neck and/or acetabular osteoplasty, and labrum reconstruction using autograft iliotibial band or gracilis tendon. After the surgery, we conducted follow-up and data collection, recorded the satisfaction of the patients and occurrence of complications, as well as the cartilage lesion of hip joint observed under the arthroscopy. We compared the alpha angle of Dunn X-ray film, center-edge angle (CE angle) of AP X-ray film, modified Harris hip score (mHHS score), hip outcome score (HOS), international hip outcome tool 12 score (iHOT12 Score), and visual analogue scale (VAS scale) before and after the arthroscopic operation, to assess clinical symptom relief and joint function recovery. The 12 patients were followed up for 5-46 (21.5±12.8) months. The VAS scale were (5.3±2.5) and (2.5±1.4) before and after the surgery, showing significant decrease (P=0.018). The mHHS score were (60.6±22.2) and (83.1±5.8) before and after the surgery, showing significant increase (P=0.003). The patient satisfaction was high (7.8±2.0) (range: 0-10). None of the 12 patients had serious complications, revision surgery, or total hip replacement at the end of the last follow-up. Autologous tendon transplantation for reconstruction of acetabular labrum under arthroscopy can improve the clinical symptoms and joint function of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), which is a safe and effective treatment.

RESUMO Apresenta-se uma série de 13 casos de pacientes com estrabismo sensorial de grande ângulo submetidos à técnica cirúrgica de autotransplante da musculatura ocular extrínseca. Foi realizada a técnica de recuo-ressecção dos músculos retos horizontais, e o retalho retirado do músculo ressecado foi suturado ao músculo enfraquecido como expansor autólogo. Foram avaliadas seis exotropias e sete esotropias, com desvios médios de 75 (70-90) dioptrias prismáticas (DP). Houve melhora significativa dos desvios no pós-operatório, sendo a média pós-operatória de 10,07 dioptrias prismáticas (ortotropia a 35DP). Somente um dos casos evoluiu com inversão do desvio após procedimento cirúrgico.
ABSTRACT We report 13 cases of large angle sensory strabismus treated with autologous graft of extraocular muscle. Recession-resection procedure of the horizontal rectus muscles was performed, and the flap from the resected muscle was sutured to the weakened muscle as an autologous expander. Six cases of exotropia and seven of esotropia, with mean prism diopter deviation of 75 (range of 70-90). There was significant improvement in the postoperative deviation, and mean prism diopter of 10.07 (range of no deviation to 35). Only one patient progressed with inverted misalignment after the surgical procedure.

Objective:To explore the effect of autologous fat transplantation based on the fine anatomy of the female perineum and aesthetic standards.Methods:From June 2015 to September 2020, 25 female patients with perineal cosmetology requirements in the Department of Plastic Surgery, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, aged from 28 to 55 years, with an average of 33.7 years. 50-80 ml of the patient＇s autologous fat were collected and filled according to the perineal anatomy and aesthetic standards. Postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment was implemented and sexual life was forbidden for 2 weeks.Results:25 patients were satisfied with the filling effect immediately after operation. Follow-up for 7 days, 1, 3, and 6 months after operation, 20 of 21 cases underwent pudendal filling operation were very satisfied with the postoperative morphology, and 1 case was less satisfied. Among the 20 cases underwent vaginal filling and labia major filling, 17 cases were very satisfied with the postoperative morphology, 2 cases were satisfied after the operation, and 1 case was less satisfied. Of the 10 cases underwent vaginal and G-spot injection, 6 cases were satisfied after the operation. The morphology was very satisfactory, 2 cases were more satisfactory, and 2 cases were less satisfactory. According to a survey of 25 cases of postoperative sexual life satisfaction, 19 cases (76%) had a significant improvement in their conscious sexual life, 3 cases had a more obvious improvement, 1 case had less improvement, and 2 cases had no conscious improvement.Conclusions:The autologous fat injection based on the fine anatomy and aesthetics of the perineum can significantly improve the aesthetic appearance of the perineum.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of autologous nanofat combined with pearl fat transplantation in comprehensive improvement of lacrimal groove depression.Methods:Seventy-eight patients (age ranges from 28 to 56 years, with average 38 years) who desired for lacrimal groove improvement were involved in this study from Jan. 2019 to Jun. 2020 in the Department of Plastic Surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Primary fat tissue was obtained and purified by liposuction. Nanofat and pearl fat were prepared and injected into lacrimal groove area in different layers and multiple points evenly to ameliorate depression. Visual analogue scoring (VAS) was used for evaluating injection pain. Dark eye circles, faint lines on lower eyelid, color spots and lacrimal groove depression between pre-operation pictures and post-operation pictures of 1 year follow-up were evaluated by patients＇ satisfaction scores.Results:All 78 patients revealed mild swelling and disappeared in 3 to 4 days. Injection areas were stable in 3 months. All patients appeared no complications such as infection, hematoma, fat liquefaction, local induration and so on. Among 78 patients, 2 patients showed ecchymosis after surgery which disappeared in 10 days, and 1 patient showed uneven appearance which disappeared after timely treatment. After 1 year of follow-up, the average satisfaction score of improvement was 8.9±0.5, which showed satisfied post-operative effect.Conclusions:Autologous nanofat combined with pearl fat transplantation has high feasibility, short operation time, which could achieve good effect of facial rejuvenation with high patients＇ satisfaction. In this case, this technique is worthy of clinical promotion.
