ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the early effectiveness of unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) laminectomy in the treatment of two-level lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 98 patients with two-level LSS treated with UBE between September 2020 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 53 males and 45 females with an average age of 59.9 years (range, 32-79 years). Among them, there were 56 cases of mixed spinal stenosis, 23 cases of central spinal canal stenosis, and 19 cases of nerve root canal stenosis. The duration of symptoms was 1.5- 10 years, with an average of 5.4 years. The operative segments were L 2, 3 and L 3, 4 in 2 cases, L 3, 4 and L 4, 5 in 29 cases, L 4, 5 and L 5, S 1 in 67 cases. All patients had different degrees of low back pain, among of which 76 cases were with unilateral lower extremity symptoms and 22 cases were with bilateral lower extremity symptoms. There were 29 cases of bilateral decompression in both segments, 63 cases of unilateral decompression in both segments, and 6 cases of unilateral decompression and bilateral decompression of each segment. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total incision length, hospitalization stay, ambulation time, and related complications were recorded. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to assess the low back and leg pain before operation and at 3 days, 3 months after operation, and at last follow-up. The Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the functional recovery of lumbar spine before operation and at 3 months and last follow-up after operation. Modified MacNab criteria was used to evaluate clinical outcomes at last follow-up. Imaging examinations were performed before and after operation to measure the preservation rate of articular process, modified Pfirrmann scale, disc height (DH), lumbar lordosis angle (LLA), and cross-sectional area of the canal (CAC), and the CAC improvement rate was calculated.@*RESULTS@#All patients underwent surgery successfully. The operation time was (106.7±25.1) minutes, the intraoperative blood loss was (67.7±14.2) mL, and the total incision length was (3.2±0.4) cm. The hospitalization stay was 8 (7, 9) days, and the ambulation time was 3 (3, 4) days. All the wounds healed by first intention. Dural tear occurred in 1 case during operation, and mild headache occurred in 1 case after operation. All patients were followed up 13-28 months with an average of 19.3 months, and there was no recurrence or reoperation during the follow-up. At last follow-up, the preservation rate of articular process was 84.7%±7.3%. The modified Pfirrmann scale and DH were significantly different from those before operation ( P<0.05), while the LLA was not significantly different from that before operation ( P=0.050). The CAC significantly improved ( P<0.05), and the CAC improvement rate was 108.1%±17.8%. The VAS scores of low back pain and leg pain and ODI at each time point after operation significantly improved when compared with those before operation, and the differences between each time points were significant ( P<0.05). According to the modified MacNab criteria, 63 cases were excellent, 25 cases were good, and 10 cases were fair, with an excellent and good rate of 89.8%.@*CONCLUSION@#UBE laminectomy is a safe and effective technique with little trauma and fast recovery for two-level LSS and the early effectiveness is satisfactory.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To examine the clinical value of routine contrast esophagram (RCE) for the diagnosis of anastomotic leakage (AL) after three-incision esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis. Methods: Clinical data of 1 022 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent McKeown three-incision esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis from January 2015 to December 2019 at Department of Minimally Invasive Esophageal Surgery, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital and Institute were analyzed retrospectively. There were 876 males and 146 females, aging(M(IQR)) 48(16) years (range: 36 to 84 years). There were 253 patients (24.8%) with neoadjuvant therapy, and 817 patients (79.9%) with minimally invasive esophagectomy. According to the diagnosis and treatment habits of the attending surgeons, 333 patients were included in the RCE group, and RCE was performed on the 7th day postoperative, while 689 patients were included in the non-RCE group, and RCE was performed when the patients had suspicious symptoms. Taking clinical symptoms, RCE, CT, endoscopy and other methods as reference to the diagnosis of AL, the sensitivity and specificity were used to analyze and evaluate the efficacy of RCE for the diagnosis of AL. The data were compared by U test or χ² test between groups. Results: The incidence rate of AL after three-incision esophagectomy was 7.34% (75/1 022), including 30 cases in the RCE group and 45 cases in the non-RCE group (9.0%(30/333) vs. 6.5%(45/689), χ²=2.027, P=0.155). The diagnostic time of AL was 9(5) days postoperative (range: 4 to 30 days). Among them, 23 cases showed cervical leakages, 50 cases showed intro-thoracic leakages, and 2 cases both cervical and intro-thoracic leakages. The diagnostic time of patients with intro-thoracic leakages was longer than that of cervical leakages (10(4) days vs. 6(3) days, Z=-2.517, P=0.012). Among the 333 patients in the RCE group, 16 cases of RCE indicated leakages including 11 cases of true positive and 5 cases determined to be false positive, while 317 cases indicated no abnormalities including 19 cases developed leakages. The sensitivity and specificity of RCE to detect AL were 36.7%(11/30) and 98.3%(298/333), respectively. The Youden-index was 0.35, and the diagnostic accuracy was 92.8%(309/333). The positive and negative predictive value were 11/16 and 94.0%(298/317), respectively. Conclusions: Routine contrast esophagram after three-incision esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis has low sensitivity and high specificity in the diagnosis of AL. The diagnostic time of AL is the 9th day after surgery. It is necessary to prolong the observation time clinically, and combine RCE with CT, endoscopy and other inspection methods for diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los defectos en la canalización de la membrana himeneal causan obstrucción del tracto genital femenino. Como consecuencia aparece hematocolpos, resultante de la acumulación y retención de secreciones cervicovaginales -sangre en útero y vagina-, ante la imposibilidad de su evacuación por la presencia de un himen imperforado. Clínicamente aparece masa abdominal, asociada con malformaciones vaginales congénitas. Se presentó el caso de una adolescente de 13 años que refirió retención urinaria, disuria, dolor y masa en hipogastrio, y ausencia de la menarquía a pesar de un desarrollo puberal en estadio Tanner III. Al realizar ultrasonido se constató sangre en el útero, debido a imperforación himeneal que se resolvió mediante himenotomía. La patología de himen imperforado con hematocolpos debe estar entre los posibles planteamientos sindrómicos de aquellas pacientes con cuadros similares; puede diagnosticarse en la Atención Primaria de Salud a partir de una detallada anamnesis y exploración física, aunque la comprobación requiere ecografía (AU).


ABSTRACT The defects in the channeling of the himeneal membrane cause obstruction in the female genital tract. As consequence hematocolpos appears, resulting from the accumulation and retention of cervicovaginal secretions -blood in the uterus and vagina-, due to the impossibility of its evacuation because of the presence of an imperforate hymen. Clinically, abdominal mass appears associated to congenital vaginal malformations. We presented the case of teenager aged 13 years that referred urine retention, dysuria, pain, had a mass in the hypogastrium, and absence of menarche in spite of a Tanner III pubertal development. An ultrasound showed blood in the uterus due to hymeneal imperforation solved through hymenotomy. The pathology of imperforate hymen with hematocolpos should be among the possible syndrome considerations in those patients with the same characteristics; it can be diagnosed in the primary health care from anamnesis and physical exploration, although the verification requires an ultrasound (AU).

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el manejo y tratamiento del embarazo ectópico ha evolucionado en los últimos años de forma impresionante. Actualmente predomina una terapia conservadora, tanto médica como quirúrgica. Esta última, se manifiesta en función de la fertilidad a pesar del incremento de las afecciones tubárica. Objetivo: determinar el uso de la técnica de salpingostomía transversal con respecto al número de embarazos intrauterinos y recidivas posteriores. Métodos: se realizó un estudio experimental, prospectivo y longitudinal, en pacientes con diagnóstico de embarazo ectópico desde el año 2007 hasta el año 2012 en el Centro de Investigaciones Médico-Quirúrgicas. Esta población quedó conformada por 251 pacientes en edad fértil, que acudieron al Cuerpo de Guardia del Centro de Investigaciones Médico-Quirúrgicas por presentar dolor en bajo vientre, sangramiento uterino anormal y/o amenorrea, a quienes se les realizó laparoscopía diagnóstica. De ellas, 204 fueron diagnosticadas de embarazo ectópico, con 167 ampulares. La totalidad de las mujeres a las que se realizó la salpingostomía transversal mostraron interés en conservar la fertilidad. La muestra control quedó constituida por 200 pacientes que presentaron embarazo ectópico ampulares. Estas pacientes fueron sometidas a la técnica de cirugía conservadora longitudinal, en un periodo inmediato anterior, 2004-2007. Resultados: se demostró que por la técnica de salpingostomía transversal se logró un mayor número de embarazos intrauterinos (60) y menos recidivas de ectópicos (10), con valores altamente significativos respecto a la salpingostomía lineal. Conclusiones: el beneficio de realizar la técnica de salpingostomía transversal, respecto al número de embarazos logrados fue cuatro veces superior al riesgo de desarrollar recidivas o complicaciones en el período de un año(AU)


Introduction: The management and treatment of ectopic pregnancy has evolved dramatically in recent years. Presently, conservative therapy, both medical and surgical, prevails. The latter is manifested as a function of fertility despite the increase in tubal conditions. Objective: Determine the use of the transverse salpingostomy technique with respect to the number of intrauterine pregnancies and subsequent relapses. Methods: An experimental, longitudinal and prospective study was performed in patients diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy from 2007 to 2012 at Center for Medical-Surgical Research. 251 patients of childbearing age were the population of this study and they came to Center for Medical-Surgical Research emergency room for having low-grade pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and / or amenorrhea, who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy.This population consisted of 251 patients of childbearing age, who came to the Center for Medical-Surgical Research Guard Corps for having pain in the lower abdomen, abnormal uterine bleeding and / or amenorrhea. They underwent diagnostic laparoscopy. 204 of them were diagnosed of ectopic pregnancy, with 167 ampullaries. All women who underwent transverse salpingostomy showed interest in preserving fertility. 200 patients were the control sample ant they presented with ampullary ectopic pregnancy. These patients underwent longitudinal conservative surgery in an immediate previous period (2004-2007). Results: It was demonstrated that by the transverse salpingostomy technique, greater number of intrauterine pregnancies were achieved (60); fewer ectopic recurrences (10) with highly significant values ​​with respect to linear salpingostomy. Conclusions: The benefit of using transverse salpingostomy technique in relation to the number of pregnancies achieved was 4 times higher than the risk of developing relapses or complications in the period of one year(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Fraturas zigomático-orbitárias são as mais comuns do terço médio da face. As principais causas de fraturas são os acidentes de trânsito, principalmente por motocicletas, e a violência interpessoal. Os princípios básicos para o tratamento das fraturas faciais são a redução e a fixação do foco fraturário. É fundamental que o acesso cirúrgico seja o mais direto e amplo possível. Pode ser utilizada abordagem subciliar e transconjuntival com cantotomia lateral. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar e comparar as complicações, vantagens e desvantagens da abordagem transconjuntival com cantotomia lateral e o acesso subciliar convencional. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados 15 pacientes nos quais as fraturas foram abordadas por meio de incisão subciliar e 15 pacientes nos quais as fraturas foram abordadas por incisão transconjuntival com cantotomia lateral e avaliadas a incidência de complicações com os dois métodos. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente com o software SPSS 20.0. RESULTADOS: Foram operados 30 pacientes, metade com acesso subciliar e metade com acesso transconjuntival. Os traumas ocorreram mais frequentemente aos finais de semana. As complicações mais frequentes foram cicatriz aparente (26%), esclera aparente (23,3%) e ectrópio (20%). Ectrópio foi mais comum no grupo acima de 60 anos. CONCLUSÃO: Ambas as técnicas foram eficazes para correção das fraturas do complexo zigomático-orbitário. A técnica transconjuntival proporciona cicatrizes mais estéticas e menos estigmatizantes, constituindo hoje a primeira escolha do autor. A incidência global de complicações foi semelhante entre as duas técnicas. Ectrópio foi menos frequente com acesso transconjuntival.


INTRODUCTION: Orbitozygomatic fractures most commonly occur in the midface. The main causes of fractures are traffic accidents, mainly by motorcycles, and interpersonal violence. The basic principles for the treatment of facial fractures are the reduction and fixation of the fracture site. It is fundamental that the surgical access be the most direct and broad as possible. Either the subciliary approach or transconjunctival access with lateral canthotomy can be used. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the complications, advantages, and disadvantages of the transconjunctival approach with lateral canthotomy and conventional subciliary access. METHODS: We selected 15 patients in whom fractures were addressed through a subciliary incision and 15 patients in whom the fractures were addressed by using a transconjunctival incision with lateral canthotomy, and evaluated the incidence of complications with the two methods. The data were statistically analyzed by using the SPSS 20.0 software. RESULTS: Thirty patients were operated with the subciliary access in 15 patients and the transconjunctival access in the other 15. Trauma occurred more frequently on weekends. The most frequent complications were apparent scar (26%), apparent sclera (23.3%), and ectropion (20%). Ectropion was more common in the > 60-year age group. CONCLUSION: Both techniques were effective for the correction of fractures of the orbitozygomatic complex. The transconjunctival technique provides more esthetic and less stigmatizing scars. Hence, it is currently the author's first choice of treatment. The global incidence of complications was similar between the two techniques. Ectropion was less frequent with the transconjunctival access.

ABSTRACT

Pioderma gangrenoso é uma doença caracterizada por úlceras dolorosas, com bordos imprecisos, de diversos tamanhos e profundidade. O diagnóstico é eminentemente clínico, sendo muitas vezes de exclusão. O tratamento não é específico. O desbridamento cirúrgico não é indicado devido a seu potencial de patergia. Neste trabalho, relatamos um caso de pioderma gangrenoso em uma paciente submetida à abdominoplastia.


Pyoderma gangrenosum is a disease characterized by painful ulcers, with imprecise borders of various sizes and depth. The diagnosis is essentially clinical and often exclusionary. The treatment is not specific. Surgical debridement is not indicated because of its potential pathergy. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient who underwent abdominoplasty.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Os enxertos autólogos conquistaram importante papel na rinoplastia gerando sustentação com melhor resultado funcional e estético. Os enxertos cartilaginosos fragmentados surgiram como alternativa para evitar deformidades perceptíveis que ocorrem com enxertos esculpidos. O uso de enxertos em forma de filetes não fixados entre si demonstrou bons resultados. Este estudo objetiva divulgar nova técnica de preenchimento de dorso nasal utilizando filetes cartilaginosos amarrados em forma de "feixe de gravetos". Método: Foram realizadas 28 rinoplastias abertas estruturadas de janeiro a junho de 2015 na Clínica de Cirurgia Plástica do Hospital Felício Rocho. Realizou-se incisão infracolumelar em V e dissecção em planos profundos. A principal área doadora de enxerto cartilaginoso foi o septo nasal. Os enxertos foram preparados com lâmina 11, em longas e finos filetes com espessura média de 1 mm. Com fio catgut simples 5-0, os enxertos foram agrupados em um feixe autossustentável. Resultados: Treze pacientes eram do gênero feminino e 15 do masculino. A idade média foi 34,8 anos. A técnica do feixe de gravetos demonstrou bons resultados no per e pósoperatório com manutenção do preenchimento e elevação do dorso nasal. O aumento da raiz e do dorso foi obtido em 100% dos casos, sem complicação local ou necessidade de revisão cirúrgica no seguimento atual. Conclusão: O enxerto de cartilagem em feixe de gravetos mostrou-se eficiente e de fácil execução. Oferece boa forma no tratamento do dorso e raiz nasal em casos estéticos, funcionais e traumáticos.


Introduction: Autologous grafts play an important role in rhinoplasty, they provide support with improved functional and aesthetic results. Fragmented cartilaginous grafts are an alternative that help avoid the perceptible deformities that occur with sculpted grafts. Grafts in the form of unbound strips have also shown good results. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of a new technique, which involves filling of the nasal dorsum using cartilaginous strips bound in the form of a bundle of twigs. Method: A total of 28 open structure rhinoplasties were performed from January to June 2015 at the Plastic Surgery Clinic of the Felício Rocho Hospital. V-shaped infracolumellar incisions were made by dissection of the deep planes. The nasal septum was the main donor area of the cartilage grafts. The grafts were prepared with a #11 scalpel blade into thin strips with an average thickness of 1 mm. Using simple 5-0 catgut wire, the grafts were bound into a self-contained bundle. Results: Thirteen patients were female and 15 male, with a mean age of 34.8 years. The "bundle of twigs" technique displayed good postoperative results, with maintenance of the filling and elevation of the nasal dorsum. Follow-up assessments confirmed the augmentation of the root and dorsum in 100% of the cases, without local complications or need for surgical revision. Conclusion: The bundle of twigs technique was efficient and easily performed. It offers an attractive alternative for treatment of the nasal dorsum and root in aesthetic, functional, and traumatic cases.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O transplante capilar de unidades foliculares (UFs) é a técnica que permite a obtenção dos resultados mais naturais. A implantação de 20 a 25 UF/cm2 possui baixo risco de dano aos folículos e tem resultado satisfatório com duas sessões. Densidade superior a 30-35 UF/cm2 permite resultado com uma única sessão, mas aumenta os riscos de dano ao folículo e perda de crescimento dos fios. O objetivo do estudo foi relatar a experiência de 15 casos de transplante capilar com implantação de 30 ou mais UF/cm2, com incisões previamente realizadas e utilizando um instrumento cirúrgico modificado para facilitar a implantação. Método: Foi realizado estudo retrospectivo de 15 pacientes submetidos em sequência a um total de 17 cirurgias, no período de julho de 2008 a junho de 2012, com tempo de seguimento de 1 ano. Resultados: Foi implantada uma quantidade média de 1433,3 UF e 3019,8 fios por cirurgia. O tempo médio de duração das cirurgias foi de 10 horas e 23 minutos. Ocorreu crescimento satisfatório dos fios com resultado visível a partir de 6 meses, com poucas complicações. Dos 15 pacientes, dois necessitaram de uma segunda sessão. Conclusões: A técnica empregada possibilitou manipulação delicada das UFs e permitiu implantação com alta densidade, obtendo bom resultado com uma sessão, mas requer tempo de execução acima da média, devendo ter uso restrito a áreas pequenas com necessidade de maior densidade.


Introduction: The transplant of follicular units (FUs) for hair restoration yields the most natural results. The implantation of 20-25 FU/cm2 has a low risk of follicular damage and yields satisfactory results within two sessions. A density greater than 30-35 FU/cm2 yields the same results within a single session but increases the risk of follicular damage and hair growth loss. We report our experience with 15 cases of hair transplantation, with an implantation density of ≥ 30 FU/cm2 and with incisions made previously using a surgical instrument modified to facilitate implantation. Method: A retrospective study of 15 patients who consecutively underwent 17 surgeries between July 2008 and June 2012 and were followed up for 1 year. Results: A mean of 1433.3 FUs and 3019.8 hairs were implanted per surgery. The mean surgical duration was 10 hours and 23 minutes. Satisfactory hair growth occurred, and results were visible at 6 months onward with few complications. Of the 15 patients, two required a second session. Conclusions: The technique used here enabled delicate manipulation of the FUs and high-density implantation that achieved good results within one session but required an above-average execution time and should be restricted to small areas requiring greater density.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A mama é símbolo de feminilidade, maternidade e sexualidade. Mamoplastia de aumento é a segunda cirurgia estética mais realizada no Brasil, e está relacionada à melhora da imagem corporal, autoestima e qualidade de vida. Sexualidade é importante componente da qualidade de vida. O quociente sexual feminino (QS-F) é questionário desenvolvido e validado que avalia sexualidade, aplicado para avaliar o impacto do tratamento na saúde sexual. Consiste em 10 questões, que avaliam quatro domínios: desejo, excitação, conforto e satisfação sexual. O objetivo é avaliar a sexualidade após mamoplastia de aumento. Métodos: 47 candidatas a aumento das mamas foram selecionadas, tratadas cirurgicamente, e responderam ao questionário QS-F no pré e no pós-operatório de 2, 4 e 18 meses. A técnica adotada foi semelhante para todas pacientes: incisão no sulco mamário, loja subglandular, implante redondo entre 260 e 325 mL. Foram formados os grupos: com ou sem relacionamento estável; e com ou sem estrias. Resultados: 45 pacientes concluíram o estudo, com idade média de 26 anos. As complicações observadas foram: simastia (1), galactorreia (1), e estrias (10). Houve melhora significante entre o escore total do QS-F no pré e no pós-operatório de 4 (p = 0,001) e 18 meses (p = 0,001), relacionado ao significante aumento da pontuação dos domínios excitação (p < 0,001) e satisfação sexual (p = 0,001). Nas pacientes que apresentaram estrias não houve melhora significante da sexualidade (p = 0,627), ao contrário das que não apresentaram (p < 0,001). Não houve diferença significante na sexualidade entre o grupo com ou sem relacionamento estável. Conclusão: A sexualidade aumentou significantemente após mamoplastia de aumento.


Introduction: The breasts are symbol of femininity, motherhood and sexuality. Breast augmentation is the second most performed cosmetic surgery in Brazil, and it is related to improvement of body image, self-esteem and quality of life. Sexuality is a significant component of quality of life. The female sexual quotient questionnaire (FS-Q) was validated as an evaluation tool for sexuality, and it is used to evaluate the impact of many treatments for sexual health. The questionnaire entails 10 questions, which assess four domains of sexuality: sexual desire, sexual arousal, comfort and sexual satisfaction. To evaluate sexuality after breast augmentation. Methods: We selected 47 patients with interest in breast enlargement. During treatment patients completed the FSQ questionnaire before and after 2, 4 and 18 months of the surgery. The surgical technique used was the same for all patients: inframammary incision, subglandular pocket, round implant, volume 260 to 325 mL. There were four groups: with or without stable relationship, and with or without striae. Results: A total of 45 patients were considered for the study. Patients' mean age was 26 years. Complications observed were: symmastia (1), galactorrhea (1), and striae distensae(10). Significant improvement was observed between the total FSQ score at preoperative, 4 months (p = 0.001), and postoperative, 18 months (p = 0.001), and also related with the significant increase in arousal scores (p < 0.001), and sexual satisfaction (p = 0.001). Patients with striae did not show significant improvement in sexuality (p=0.627), differently of patients without striae (p < 0.001). No significant difference in sexuality was seen between the group with or without stable relationship. Conclusion: Sexuality increases significantly after breast augmentation.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A abdominoplastia é um dos procedimentos mais comumente realizados por cirurgiões plásticos. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a evolução e a ocorrência de complicações em pacientes submetidos à abdominoplastia pela técnica de ressecção em bloco, e observar se existe alguma diferença na evolução com a utilização de dreno ou de pontos de adesão. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo de 34 pacientes do sexo feminino, submetidas à abdominoplastia. Foram divididas em dois grupos alternadamente; em um deles foi utilizado dreno de aspiração a vácuo e no outro não, mas estes últimos receberam pontos de adesão. Resultados: Do total operado, houve algum grau de alargamento da cicatriz em 14,7% dos casos. Quando avaliado separadamente por grupo, aqueles que foram drenados tiveram incidência maior (23,53%) em comparação com os que receberam pontos de adesão (5,88%). Ocorreu um caso de trombose de veias superficiais de membros inferiores, com boa evolução. Foram diagnosticados três casos de seroma, todos no grupo com dreno. Eles representaram 8,82% do total estudado e 17,64% dos casos deste grupo. O resultado estético foi considerado muito bom por 94,12% das pacientes estudadas. Conclusões: A técnica de ressecção em bloco se mostrou segura, de fácil execução, com bons resultados estéticos e índices de complicações semelhantes às outras técnicas descritas na literatura.

Introduction: Abdominoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons. The goal of this study is to evaluate the outcome and the occurrence of complications in patients undergoing abdominoplasty using the en bloc resection technique, and to look for differences in evolution when a drain is used or is replaced with adhesion stitches. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 34 female patients undergoing abdominoplasty. These were alternately placed into 2 groups: in one group suction drains were used, and in the other these were replaced with adhesion stitches. Results: Among all the cases, there was some degree of scar widening in 14.7% of patients. When analyzed by group, those who received drains had a higher incidence (23.53%) comparing to those who received adhesion stitches (5.88%). One patient had superficial vein thrombosis of the lower limbs with a good outcome. Three cases of seroma were diagnosed, all of them in the group using drains. These represent 8.82% of the entire study and 17.64% of the specific group. The aesthetic result was considered good by 94.12% of all patients. Conclusions: The en bloc resection abdominoplasty technique proved to be safe, easy to perform, assured good aesthetical results and had similar complication rates when compared to other techniques. The adhesion stitches were effective for preventing complications in this study.

ABSTRACT

A Hidradenite Supurativa é uma doença crônica debilitante, estigmatizante e de difícil tratamento. A doença apresenta várias características clínicas, podendo ocorrer isolada ou simultaneamente em diversas localizações, geralmente simétricas, distribuídas na "linha do leite". Afeta a pele onde há maior quantidade de glândulas apócrinas intertriginosas, em ordem decrescente: axilas, região ano-genital, aréolas e sulco inframamário. Seu curso insidioso inicia com nódulos subcutâneos que se rompem e/ou coalescem, formando abscessos na derme profunda, extremamente doloridos. As lesões frequentemente drenam exudato purulento fétido, com importante prejuízo à qualidade de vida. Com a progressão da doença, ocorre formação de fistulas, comedões, fibrose, contraturas dérmicas e endurecimento da pele. Suas maiores chances de cura estão no diagnóstico precoce e tratamento individualizado, que abrange medidas farmacológicas, comportamentais e cirúrgicas. O tratamento cirúrgico tem sido considerado a medida curativa mais efetiva. A decisão entre as diversas modalidades vai depender do estágio, apresentação e comprometimento local e incluem incisão e drenagem dos abscessos, deroofing, marsupialização, eletrocirurgia, laser Nd:YAG, laser de CO2 e excisão cirúrgica extensa. As opções de reconstrução incluem cicatrização por segunda intenção, enxerto de pele total imediato ou tardio, fechamento primário e retalhos. O caso relatado de lesões préesternais apresentava características clínicas e histológicas compatíveis com HS, sendo esta uma localização incomum na Literatura. O resultado pós-operatório da ressecção de toda a lesão com fechamento primário mostrou-se resolutivo após longo tempo de seguimento. Mais ensaios clínicos randomizados são necessários para estipular o melhor manejo na HS.


Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic debilitating and stigmatizing disease that is difficult to treat. The disease presents several clinical characteristics, which may occur alone or simultaneously in various locations, generally symmetrical and distributed in the "milk line". It affects the following areas of the skin where intertriginous apocrine glands are numerous, in the descending order: axilla, anogenital region, areolas, and inframammary crease. Its insidious progression begins with formation of subcutaneous nodules that rupture and/or coalesce, forming extremely painful abscesses in the deep dermis. The lesions often drain foul purulent exudate, with significant damage to quality of life. As the disease progresses, formation of fistulas, comedones, fibrosis, dermal contractures, and hardening of the skin occur. The highest chances of cure are lie in early diagnosis and individualized treatment, which covers pharmacological, behavioral, and surgical measures. Surgical treatment has been considered a more effective curative measure. The decision between the different modalities will depend on the stage, presentation, and local commitment and include incision and drainage of abscesses, deroofing, marsupialization, electrosurgery, Nd:YAG laser, CO2 laser, and extensive surgical excision. The reconstruction options include healing by second intention, immediate or delayed full-thickness skin graft, primary closure, and flaps. The reported case of presternal injuries presented clinical and histological characteristics compatible with hidradenitis suppurativa; this location has been rarely reported in the literature. The postoperative results of complete resection of the lesion with primary closure indicated resolution over a long follow-up period. More randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the best management strategy for hidradenitis suppurativa.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O cirurgião plástico tem sido consultado com frequência, nos últimos anos, sobre a forma e as dimensões dos pequenos lábios vulvares e outras estruturas circunvizinhas, não só pela questão estética, mas também pela funcional, da dispareunia. Os autores apresentam uma técnica de tratamento estético e funcional da genitália externa feminina, a vulva, com o intuito de corrigir a hipertrofia dos pequenos lábios (ninfas), sem alterar­lhes a forma. Método: A técnica consiste na abordagem do pequeno lábio vulvar, com uma incisão em forma de estrela, produzindo um encurtamento das ninfas tanto ântero-posteriormente como crânio-caudalmente. O estudo é de tipo retrospectivo de um período de 15 anos, com seguimento clínico e cirúrgico de 64 pacientes de sexo feminino, com uma faixa etária entre 14 e 58 anos, todas submetidas à ninfoplastia em estrela, técnica proposta neste estudo. Resultados: Os resultados foram obtidos da ficha dos pacientes operados no período compreendido entre janeiro de 1996 e dezembro de 2011, no Hospital da Lagoa e na Interclínica-Centroplástica, Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro-RJ. Alto índice de satisfação das pacientes com o tamanho e o formato estético da genitália. Houve uma baixa taxa de complicações e queixas residuais. Conclusão: Este ato cirúrgico é feito com o objetivo de remanejar a estrutura tecidual hipertrófica dos pequenos lábios vulvares. De um ponto de vista técnico, pode-se considerar como um procedimento simples e eficaz no tratamento tanto funcional como estético da genitália feminina.


Introduction: In recent years, women have been frequently consulting the plastic surgeon concerning the shape and dimensions of the labia minora and other surrounding structures, not only for aesthetic but also functional reasons, e.g., dyspareunia. The authors present a technique for the aesthetic and functional treatment of the external female genitalia, the vulva, with the purpose of correcting hypertrophy of the labia minora (nymphs), without changing their form. Method: This technique consists in the incision in the shape of a star leading to a shortening of nymphs both anteroposteriorly and craniocaudally. This is a 15-year retrospective study, with clinical and surgical follow-up of 64 female patients with an age range between 14 and 58 years, all submitted to star nymphoplasty, the technique proposed in this study. Results: The results were obtained from the patients operated from January 1996 to December 2011, at the Hospital da Lagoa and at Interclínica-Centroplástica, Jardim Botânico, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. A high rate of patient satisfaction with the size and aesthetic shape of the genitalia was achieved. There was a low rate of complications and remaining complaints. Conclusion: This surgical procedure is done with the objective of reshaping the tissue structure of the hypertrophic labia minora. From a technical point of view, it can be considered as a simple and effective functional and aesthetic treatment of the female genitalia.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: O enxerto de gordura, atualmente, é usado amplamente na cirurgia plástica estética e reparadora como um preenchimento natural. Na cirurgia crânio-maxilofacial há uma diversidade de pacientes com deformidades congênitas e adquiridas que podem ser muito beneficiados com a lipoenxertia. MÉTODOS: Os pacientes foram submetidos à lipoenxertia para reconstrução e correção de defeitos da face no INTO em 2012 e 2013 utilizando uma técnica padronizada. Nossa avaliação foi clínica e subjetiva, levando em conta a opinião do paciente. Especificamente nos pacientes com enoftalmo tardio secundário à sequela de trauma, realizamos exoftalmometria com o exoftalmômetro de Hertel e tomografia no pré e no pós-operatório para avaliar objetivamente nossos resultados. RESULTADOS: Vinte e dois pacientes receberam tratamento. A maioria foi do gênero feminino (77%). O volume do gordura aplicado variou de 1 ml até 37 ml, com média de 15 ml por sessão. A quantidade de sessões variou de 1 a 4. A lipoenxertia foi usada como tratamento único em apenas 30% dos casos. Fizemos lipoenxertia retrobulbar variando de 6 a 10 ml o volume enxertado, sendo que em um paciente realizamos duas sessões. Houve um ganho de 3 a 7 mm de projeção do globo ocular. Na avaliação tomográfica constatamos também aumento da projeção ocular de 4 mm e 2,2 mm. O resultado clínico foi pobre. CONCLUSÃO: A lipoenxertia é um procedimento simples, barato e reprodutível que deve fazer parte do armamentário do cirurgião plástico e do cirurgião craniofacial. Pode ser uma alternativa nos difíceis casos de enoftalmo tardio.


INTRODUCTION: The fat graft is currently widely used in aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgery as a natural filler. In cranio-maxillofacial surgery, fat grafting can be very beneficial for patients with various congenital and acquired deformities. METHODS: We included patients who had undergone fat grafting for reconstruction and correction of defects in the face during 2012 and 2013 by using a standard technique. Our assessment was both clinical and subjective, taking into account the patient's opinion. In patients with late enophthalmos secondary to trauma sequelae, we conducted exophthalmometry with an exophthalmometer (Hertel) and preoperative and postoperative CT to objectively evaluate our results. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients were treated. Most were female (77%). The volume of fat grafted varied from 1 ml to 37 ml, with a mean of 15 ml per session. The number of sessions ranged from 1 to 4. Fat grafting was used as a single treatment in only 30% of cases. We performed retrobulbar fat grafting ranging from 6 to 10 ml in volume; in one patient, the grafting was carried out over two sessions. There was a gain of 3 to 7 mm in projection of the eyeball. In tomographic evaluation, an increased eye projection of between 2.2 mm and 4 mm was found. However, the clinical outcome was poor. CONCLUSION: Fat grafting is a simple, inexpensive and reproducible procedure that should be part of the plastic and craniofacial surgeons' inventory. It may be an alternative in difficult cases of late enophthalmos.

ABSTRACT

Feridas crônicas com grande área de extensão apresentam grandes dificuldades, tanto para os pacientes quanto para a equipe assistente. Devido à sua alta complexidade, o tratamento geralmente envolve diversos modos de abordagem, bem como um enfoque interdisciplinar. Os cuidados compreendem desde curativos simples e orientações gerais até o ato cirúrgico reconstrutivo final, visando atingir uma cobertura tegumentar adequada. É relatado o tratamento de um paciente de 52 anos, com ferida abdominal crônica e complexa de grandes dimensões, resultante de ressecção de adenocarcinoma de cólon, complicado por fístula entérica de alto débito e deiscência aponeurótica. A associação de múltiplas modalidades de tratamento no cuidado da ferida contribuiu para o controle do trajeto fistuloso, e acelerou o processo de cicatrização e cura da ferida abdominal (AU)


Large-sized chronic wounds present great difficulties, both for patients and for the medical team. Due to its high complexity, treatment usually involves various modes of approach, as well as an interdisciplinary focus. Care ranges from simple bandages and general guidelines to the final reconstructive surgery, aiming to achieve adequate soft tissue coverage. Here we report the treatment of a 52-year-old patient with a chronic and complex large abdominal wound, resulting from resection of adenocarcinoma of the colon complicated by high output enteric fistula and aponeurotic dehiscence. The combination of multiple treatment modalities in wound care contributed to the control of the fistula and accelerated the healing process and healing of the abdominal wound (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Várias são as técnicas descritas para mamoplastia. Contudo nenhuma contempla a ressecção mamaria com a preservação areolar por meio de um pedículo obliquo múltiplo que envolve o sistema neurovascular superior medial e o sistema neurovascular inferior lateral; alem de preservar na glândula remanescente a unidade areolo-glandular original. Esta técnica mostra se, em tese, ideal para o tratamento da gigantomastia juvenil em nulipara, que ainda pode se beneficiar de uma mama mais funcional e preservada na sua inervação primaria e na sua capacidade de amamentação. Este retalho também pode usufruir de grande segurança contra isquemia em função de um largo pedículo vascular. OBJETIVO: Descrever a técnica de mamoplastia e relatar a serie inicial de casos operados nesta sistematização. MÉTODO: Em 40 mamas operadas descreve se a técnica do retalho fascioadenocutaneo areolado com mensuração da quantidade ressecada, sensibilidade pré- e pós- operatório e complicações. RESULTADOS: Todos os casos tiveram evolução satisfatória, sem necrose e com sensibilidade do complexo areolopapilar (CAP) preservada em mais de 70% das mamas operadas. CONCLUSÃO: O retalho fascioadenocutaneo areolado inervado mostrou-se seguro, funcional e versátil.


INTRODUCTION: Several mammoplasty techniques have been described. However, none involves breast resection with preservation of the areola through an oblique multiple pedicle that involves the medial superior neurovascular system and the lateroinferior neurovascular system, or preserves the original areola-glandular unit in the remaining gland. This technique is, in theory, ideal for the treatment of juvenile gigantomastia in nulliparous women who can still benefit from a more functional breast with its primary innervation and the patient's ability to breast-feed preserved. This flap can also present higher safety against ischemia owing to a broad vascular pedicle. OBJECTIVE: To describe this mammoplasty technique and report the initial series of operated cases. METHOD: The fascioadenocutaneous areolar flap technique is described in 40 operated breasts, including the quantity of the resected tissue, pre- and postsurgery sensitivity, and complications encountered. RESULTS: All cases had a satisfactory evolution, without necrosis and with preserved sensitivity of the nipple-areola complex in >70% of the breasts operated. CONCLUSION: The innervated fascioadenocutaneous areolar flap was safe, functional, and versatile.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la sobrecarga en valgo y extensión (choque posteromedial) es una lesión que se presenta con cierta frecuencia en atletas de lanzamiento, que en ocasiones puede requerir de cirugía para que el atleta pueda seguir compitiendo. Objetivos: realizar el diagnóstico y tratamiento del síndrome de sobrecarga en valgo y extensión en atletas, hacer diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento adecuado. Métodos: se realizó un estudio longitudinal prospectivo de intervención que incluyó a deportistas de alto rendimiento operados por síndrome de sobrecarga en valgo y extensión. La muestra estuvo formada por 8 pacientes, todos masculinos, edad media 26 años (rango entre 22 y 29), deportes que practicaban: 6 béisbol (5 lanzadores y uno jardinero), un paciente de pesas y otro de jabalina. El tiempo de seguimiento mínimo fue de 6 meses y máximo de 4 años y una media de 2.3 años. Resultados: fueron operados ocho pacientes, de ellos cuatro presentaban neuropatía por compresión del nervio cubital a nivel del codo, a cuatro se les realizó además transferencia del nervio cubital, dos subcutáneo y en dos se le realizó una polea con fascia flexora pronadora. Las complicaciones que se presentaron fueron: recidiva del dolor por insuficiencia del ligamento colateral medial (1/8) pacientes. Los resultados funcionales según escala de Conway fueron excelentes (5/8), bueno (2/8) y pobre (1/8). Conclusiones: el estrés repetido, la insuficiencia de los flexores pronadores y del ligamento colateral medial son las causas desencadenantes del síndrome de sobrecarga en valgo y extensión. La cirugía favorece el retorno a la actividad deportiva en la mayoría de los atletas(AU)


Introduction: valgus extension overload (posteromedial shock) is a type of injure that is relatively frequent in throwing athletes and may require surgical procedures to be performed so that the athlete can keep on competing. Objective: To early diagnose and adequately treat the valgus extension overload syndrome in athletes. Methods: a prospective, longitudinal and intervention study was conducted in high performance athletes operated on for valgus extension overload syndrome. The sample was made up of 8 male athletes aged 26 years as average (range of 22 to 29 years), who practiced baseball (five pitchers and one outfielder), weightlifting (one) and javelin throw (one). The minimal follow-up was 6 months and the maximum was 4 years, for a mean of 2.3 years. Results: eight patients were operated on, four of them presented with neuropathy from compressed cubital nerve at the elbow; four underwent transfer of their cubital nerve, two subcutaneous and two with a pulley with flexor pronator fascia. The most observed complication was pain relapse due to medial collateral ligament insufficiency in one patient. The functional results according to Conway's scale were excellent in 5 patients, good in two and unsatisfactory in just one patient. Conclusions: repeated stress, insufficiency in flexor pronators and in the medial collateral ligament were the causes that unleash the valgus extension overload syndrome. The surgical procedure helps most of the athletes to come back to their normal sports activity(AU)


Introduction: la surcharge en valgus et en extension (choc postéro-médial) est une lésion assez fréquente chez les sportifs de lancers exigeant parfois un traitement chirurgical pour qu'ils puissent retourner aux compétitions. Objectifs: cette étude a été visée à déterminer un diagnostic précoce et un traitement approprié du syndrome de surcharge en valgus et en extension chez des athlètes. Méthodes: une étude longitudinale prospective interventionnelle comprenant des sportifs de haut niveau, traités chirurgicalement pour syndrome de surcharge en valgus et en extension, a été effectuée. L'échantillon est composé de 8 patients, tous du sexe masculin, âge moyen de 26 ans (22-29 ans), pratiquant baseball (5 lanceurs et 1 joueur de champ), haltérophilie (1), et lancer du javelot (1), avec un suivi de 6 mois au minimum et 4 ans au maximum, et une médiane de 2.3 ans. Résultats: sur 8 patients opérés, quatre étaient atteints d'une neuropathie par pincement du nerf cubital au niveau du coude, quatre ont subi une chirurgie de transfert du nerf cubital, 2 sous-cutanés, et 2 ont subi la reconstruction de poulie par plastie autologue de fascia des fléchisseurs-pronateurs. Dans un seul cas, une complication est survenue: douleur récidivante due à un trouble du ligament collatéral médial. Selon l'échelle de Conway, les résultats sont excellents (5 patients), bons (2 patients) et faibles (1 patient). Conclusions: on conclut que le stress persistant et les troubles des fléchisseurs pronateurs et du ligament collatéral médial entraînent un syndrome de surcharge en valgus et en extension, et c'est le traitement chirurgical qui permet le retour de la plupart des athlètes affectés à la pratique de leur sport respectif(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Os procedimentos aplicados nos problemas de envelhecimento facial devem ficar restritos aos tecidos brandos e às relações com o volume prévio do esqueleto. Eles podem ser realizados mediante diversas técnicas: dissecção ampla e aberta, endoscópica e mini-invasiva. O objetivo é apresentar nossa concepção de ritidoplastias mini-invasivas e ritidoplastias completas através de mini-incisões, após 18 anos de experiência. Métodos: A ritidoplastia mini-invasiva é realizada através de mini-incisões localizadas na linha do cabelo da região frontal, região temporal, na fossa triangular da orelha, no sulco submentoniano e nas pálpebras. Ampla dissecção é realizada para liberar a fáscia parietal do arco zigomático para elevar em continuidade com o SMAS e o platisma num único plano. Essas estruturas são seletivamente fixadas em posições mais elevadas, restaurando a posição dos tecidos brandos e o contorno da face. Resultados: Nossa experiência se apoia em 672 pacientes, operados durante 19 anos, com mínimo de complicações a serem registradas, tendo sido evitadas as incisões pré-auriculares em 89% dos pacientes. Estão registrados os detalhes e táticas de como realizar cirurgias com segurança e a qualidade dos resultados. Conclusões: Diferentes procedimentos são descritos para mostrar como realizamos as ritidoplastias com minivias de acesso, de acordo com as regiões tratadas e sem cicatrizes pré-auriculares em 89% dos casos operados.


Introduction: A restoring procedure of the ageing process of the face should consider the conditions of the soft tissues and the relationship between them and the existing skeletal volume. This could be done through different approaches: open, endoscopic or mini-invasive. To present our concept of mini-invasive facelift, a full facelift through minimal incisions, product of eighteen years of experience. Methods: The mini-invasive facelift is done through minimal incisions located on the frontal hairline, temporal area, triangular fossae of the auricle, submentalis sulcus and eyelids. A wide dissection is performed to liberate the parieto-temporal fascia from the zigomatic arch, to pull it up in continuity with the SMAS and the platysma as one continuous layer or composite flap. These structures are selectively fixed to a higher position restoring the location of the soft tissues and the contour of the face. Results: We have done this procedure to 672 patients, along 19 years, with minimal complications (described also), and avoiding the pre-auricular incisions in 89% of our patients. In this paper details and tips to perform this procedure in a safer way and to get the most natural results are presented. Conclusions: Different approaches are described to perform a face lift with specific mini access views according to the regions to be treated , without periauricular scar round 89% of the operated cases.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: A deformidade tuberosa da mama é uma rara entidade, descrita por Rees e Aston em 1976. O desenvolvimento mamário encontra-se alterado, com herniação do parênquima pelo complexo areolopapilar, alargamento dessa estrutura e hipoplasia do tecido mamário, principalmente nos quadrantes inferiores. A mama, portanto, adquire um aspecto tubular ao invés do aspecto cônico natural. MÉTODO: No total, 4 pacientes foram submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico em um único tempo, com incisões combinadas: inframamária e periareolar. Detalhes técnicos devem ser individualizados para cada caso, conforme a gravidade e a classificação do tipo de mama tuberosa. RESULTADOS: O procedimento cirúrgico utilizado aborda todos os aspectos da deformidade da mama tuberosa em operação de um estágio. Cirurgia de revisão de cicatriz periareolar não foi necessária em nenhum caso. Em todos os casos, obteve-se resultado estético final aceitável e com satisfação da paciente e do cirurgião. O procedimento adotado não interfere em lactações futuras. CONCLUSÕES: A mama tuberosa representa um verdadeiro desafio terapêutico. A técnica utilizada é muito atraente e mostra resultados confiáveis e reprodutíveis.


BACKGROUND: Tuberous breast deformity is a rare entity, first described by Rees and Aston in 1976. In this condition, breast development is altered, with herniation of the parenchyma through the nipple-areolar complex, enlargement of this structure, and hypoplasia of the breast tissue, especially in the lower quadrants. The breast thus acquires a tubular shape rather than the natural conical look. METHODS: Four patients underwent a single surgical treatment, with combined inframammary and periareolar incisions. Technical details must be individualized for each case depending on the severity and classification type of the tuberous breasts. RESULTS: The surgical procedure used covers all aspects of tuberous breast deformity in a single-stage operation. Revision of periareolar surgery scar was not necessary in any case. In all cases, the final aesthetic result was satisfactory for the patient and the surgeon. The procedure adopted does not interfere with future lactation. CONCLUSIONS: Tuberous breast represents a real therapeutic challenge. The technique reported herein is very attractive and provides reliable and reproducible results.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In lipominiabdominoplasty and mid-abdominoplasty procedures, the umbilicus is usually undermined from its aponeurotic fixation; this modifies its normal vascular pattern. In patients undergoing these procedures and candidates for a secondary classic abdominoplasty, trophic changes, including necrosis, may occur in the umbilical scar. To avoid trophic complications in the neo-umbilicus, autonomization of the umbilical scar was carried out. METHODS: Three candidates for a secondary classic abdominoplasty underwent the umbilicus autonomization process in the private clinic of the corresponding author. One incision, 1 cm from the umbilical scar, was performed from the skin to the aponeurotic plane on each side, with an interval of 15 days between the two surgical incisions. After the second incision, the patient waited for a further 15 days. Thus, the whole process took 30 days before classic abdominoplasty was performed. RESULTS: No trophic alterations or necrosis in the umbilical scar were observed in these cases. CONCLUSIONS: The aesthetic results were satisfactory, indicating the effectiveness of this method.


INTRODUÇÃO: Nos procedimentos de lipominiabdominoplastia e midiabdominoplastia, usualmente, o umbigo é destacado de sua fixação aponeurótica, o que modifica o padrão vascular do umbigo. Em pacientes submetidos a esses procedimentos e candidatos a abdominoplastia clássica secundária, podem ocorrer alterações tróficas da cicatriz umbilical e, até mesmo, necroses. Utilizou-se a manobra de autonomização da cicatriz umbilical para evitar complicações tróficas do neoumbigo. MÉTODO: Foram submetidas ao processo de autonomização da cicatriz umbilical 3 pacientes candidatas a abdominoplastia clássica secundária, na clínica privada do autor principal. A técnica compreende uma incisão a 1 cm da cicatriz umbilical, desde a pele até o plano aponeurótico, de cada lado, com intervalo de 15 dias entre cada etapa, no total de dois tempos cirúrgicos. O processo como um todo leva 30 dias, antes da abdominoplastia clássica. RESULTADOS: Não foram observadas alterações tróficas ou necroses da cicatriz umbilical nos casos submetidos ao processo de autonomização. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados estéticos foram satisfatórios, o que atestou a efetividade do método.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Frontal and glabellar muscle hyperactivity with consequent wrinkles are frequent complaints in plastic surgery. Treatment consists of impediment of related muscles; this can be achieved by application of botulinum toxin or surgery by means of classic coronal incision, endoscopic approach, transblepharoplasty access, or non-endoscopic limited approaches. This paper proposes an alternative of limited approach in which an incision is made on the central frontal scalp for treatment of the frontal and glabellar muscles. METHODS: Between March 2009 and April 2010, 20 female patients were treated using a small incision on the frontal scalp, followed by dissection of frontal and glabellar regions. Muscles and supratrochlear and supraorbital nerve branches were identified; subsequently, frontal and glabellar muscle myotomy was performed. RESULTS: All patients showed good results by frontal and glabellar muscle impediment during the evaluation period, with improvement in wrinkles and hyperactivity. Complications consisted of temporary paresthesia and pruritus in the central frontal region and scalp, in addition to recurrence of partial muscle contraction. CONCLUSIONS: The small incision approach on the central frontal scalp for treatment of frontal and glabellar muscles seems to be a good alternative to other surgical options due to its small size, inconspicuous scarring, and direct visualization of frontal and glabellar anatomic structures, allowing selective myotomy or myectomy.


INTRODUÇÃO: A hiperatividade da musculatura frontoglabelar, com suas consequentes rugas, são queixas frequentes em consultórios de cirurgia plástica. O tratamento consiste de impedimento desses músculos, o que pode ser obtido com a aplicação de toxina botulínica ou cirurgicamente, por incisão coronal clássica, acesso endoscópico, acesso transblefaroplastia ou acessos limitados não-endoscópicos. Neste artigo é proposta uma alternativa de acesso limitado, por incisão pós-capilar central frontal (IPCF), para tratamento das musculaturas frontal e glabelar. MÉTODO: Entre março de 2009 e abril de 2010, 20 pacientes do sexo feminino foram submetidas a IPCF, seguida de dissecção das regiões frontal e glabelar. Os músculos e os nervos supratroclear e supraorbitário foram identificados, sendo, em seguida, realizada miotomia dos músculos frontoglabelares. RESULTADOS: Todos os casos apresentaram bons resultados pelo impedimento da musculatura frontoglabelar no período avaliado, com melhora das rugas e da hiperatividade. As complicações observadas foram temporárias e incluíram parestesia e prurido na região frontal central e no escalpe, além de recorrência parcial da contração muscular. CONCLUSÕES: A IPCF parece ser uma boa alternativa para o tratamento das musculaturas frontal e glabelar, pela pequena incisão, pela cicatriz inaparente e por permitir visão direta das estruturas anatômicas das regiões frontal e glabelar, permitindo miotomia ou miectomia seletiva.
