ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: bariatric surgery is the main treatment for cases of severe obesity and body contour surgery to correct body dysmorphia resulting from weight loss. However, these procedures are associated with a significant number of postoperative complications. Objective: this study aims to analyze complications in post-bariatric patients undergoing body contour surgeries and correlating them with the age and BMI of these patients. Methods: the current study is a retrospective study evaluating 180 consecutive patients undergoing body contour surgery after bariatric surgery within a period of three years (2014-2016). Data such as age, gender, Body Mass Index before bariatric and plastic surgeries, type of surgery performed and complications were collected, and correlated the age as well as the BMI of the patients in the pre-bariatric (PB) and pre-plastic (PP) periods with the complications presented. Results: of the 180 patients evaluated, 91.7% were females (n = 165), and the mean age was 46.3 ± 1.7 years. The most performed surgery was abdominoplasty (48.9%), followed by mammaplasty (21.1%). Some complications occurred in 26.1% of the patients with partial dehiscence (40.4%) and seroma (14.9%) being the most frequent. Patients who presented complications had a higher mean age (50.8 years) than those who presented with no complications, and major complications accounted for 2.7% of the sample. Conclusions: a statistically significant number of surgeries progressed without complications and, when they occurred, there were minor complications in most of the sample. Complications were more frequent in older patients with some of them having a BMI over 30 Kg/m2.


RESUMO Introdução: a cirurgia bariátrica é o principal tratamento para os casos de obesidade grave e a cirurgia de contorno corporal trata a dismorfia corporal resultante desta perda de peso. No entanto, estes procedimentos estão associados a um número significativo de complicações pós-operatórias. Objetivo: analisar as complicações maiores e menores que ocorreram nos pacientes pós-bariátricos submetidos a cirurgias reparadoras do contorno corporal e correlacioná-las com idade e IMC destes pacientes. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo que avaliou 180 pacientes consecutivos submetidos a cirurgia de contorno corporal, após cirurgia bariátrica, no período de 3 anos (2014-2016). Foram coletados dados como idade, gênero, IMC pré-bariátrica e pré-plástica, tipo de cirurgia realizada e complicações, correlacionando a idade e o IMC dos pacientes nos períodos pré-bariátrica (PB) e pré-plástica (PP) com as complicações apresentadas. Resultados: dos 180 pacientes avaliados, 91,7% eram do gênero feminino (n=165) e a idade média foi de 46,3 ± 1,7 anos. A cirurgia mais realizada foi abdominoplastia (48,9%), seguida da mamoplastia (21,1%). Complicações ocorreram em 26,1% dos pacientes, sendo deiscência parcial a principal (40,4%) seguida de seroma (14,9%). Pacientes com complicações apresentaram média etária maior (50,8 anos) que os sem complicações, sendo que as complicações maiores ocorreram em 2,7% da amostra. Conclusões: a maioria estatisticamente significante das cirurgias cursou sem complicações e, quando ocorreram, foram complicações menores na maior parte da amostra. As complicações foram mais frequentes nos pacientes de idade mais avançada, dos quais alguns com IMC maior que 30kg/m2.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Identificar los factores determinantes de la mejoría de la calidad de vida en pacientes sometidos a cirugía de contorno corporal. Materiales y Método: Se estudió una cohorte prospectiva de 113 pacientes sometidos a cirugía de contorno corporal. Se estudiaron características sociodemográficas, mediciones antropométricas, variables relativas a la cirugía y se aplicó el instrumento Body-Qol®. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó estadística descriptiva, modelos de ecuaciones de estimación generalizada y modelos de regresión lineal y logística. Resultados: Se encontró mejoría en la calidad de vida de forma global (p < 0,0001) y por dominios. Los pacientes con pérdida masiva de peso tuvieron peores puntajes pre y postoperatorio, sin embargo, un delta de mejoría comparable con los pacientes estéticos. Dentro de los factores determinantes, existió una relación positiva entre la edad y la mejoría en la calidad de vida de forma global. El índice de masa corporal (IMC) se encontró asociado negativamente con la mejoría del puntaje global. Dentro de los factores de la cirugía, los pacientes sometidos a lipoabdominoplastía tuvieron una mayor mejoría con respecto a otras técnicas. Además, el patrón de resección ampliado y en flor de Lis se asoció a menor mejoría en el puntaje global. Conclusión: La cirugía de contorno corporal mejora la calidad de vida de forma significativa. Los principales factores determinantes de esta mejoría fueron la edad, el IMC, el antecedente de pérdida masiva de peso y el patrón de resección.


Aim: To identify the factors that have an impact on the quality of life of patients with body contouring surgery. Materials and Method: A prospective cohort of 113 patients was studied. Sociodemographic characteristics, antropometric measures and variables related to the surgery were analized. The Body-Qol® instrument was aplied. Descriptive statistic, generalized estimated equation models and lineal and logistic regresions were used for the statistical analysis. Results: Improvement in the quality of life was found globally (p < 0,0001) and in every domain of the scale. The patients with massive weight loss had worse scores pre- and post-operatively than the esthetic patients. A positive association between age and improvement on quality of life was found. Body mass index (BMI) was negatively associated with improvement of the score. The patients that had a lipoabdominoplasty had a major improvement in comparison with other techniques. Also, the extended resection pattern and Fleur de Lis pattern were associated with lesser improvement in the global score. Conclusion: Body contouring surgery improves quality of life significantly. The principal factors that have an impact on quality of life were age, BMI, massive weight loss and resection pattern.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La abdominoplastia es un procedimiento que se utiliza para definir el contorno corporal actuando sobre todas las capas de la pared mediante la resección del exceso de piel y grasa subcutánea y la reparación del sistema músculo-aponeurótico. Uno de los componentes a tratar en toda abdominoplastia es la diastasis abdominal, que se logra a través de la plicatura de rectos. Muchas controversias han surgido acerca de la efectividad y duración de la corrección, del mejor tipo de sutura y las consecuencias sobre la presión intraabdominal y el embarazo. Materiales y metodos. Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura utilizando las bases de datos MEDLINE, LILACS, MEDES y SciELO. Tanto artículos de habla inglesa como hispana fueron tenidos en cuenta. Las palabras clave utilizadas para la búsqueda inicial fueron rectus plication, rectus shealth plication, diastasis, abdominal closure, plicatura abdominal. Resultados. Luego de la búsqueda, 58 artículos fueron seleccionados y revisados. En base a la información obtenida, se dividió la información y se desarrollaron de manera objetiva en puntos separados. Conclusiones. A pesar de que la bibliografía muestra conclusiones disímiles y variables, la plicatura es un procedimiento seguro y potencialmente benefi cioso para la salud tanto en dolores lumbares como incontinencia urinaria, y puede usarse en aquellos casos intratables. Tanto suturas de reabsorción lenta como el PDS y las suturas no absorbibles pueden ser utilizadas para el cierre de la diastasis abdominal con excelentes resultados a largo plazo y sin riesgo de recurrencia


Introduction. Abdominoplasty is a body-contouring procedure for functional and aesthetic improvement that addresses deformity from excess skin and fat and musculofascial laxity. Diastasis repair by plication of the rectus sheath is an integral part of most abdominoplasty procedures. There is no consensus regarding what suture material is best and contradictory information about long term durability, changes in the intraabdominal pressure and pregnancy is seen in the literature. Material and methods. A systematic review of current available literature was performed using the MEDLINE, LILACS, MEDES and SciELO databases. Key words used for initial data bank searches included "rectus plication", "rectus shealth plication" "diastasis" "abdominal closure", "plicatura abdominal". Furthermore, bibliographies and individual plastic surgery journals were searched for additional reference information. Results. Fifty-eight articles met the criteria and were analyzed critically for inclusion. From this information, a narrative synthesis of data was undertaken. Conclusions. Although current literature shows diff erent conclusions, rectus shelth plication can be consider a safe and pottencially benefi tial procedure with signifi cant improvements in posture and quality of life. Absorbable and non absorbable sutures seems to be reliable sutures for the correction of rectus diastasis.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Several technologies have been developed and optimized for the treatment of unaesthetic disorders. Among them is the oscillatory vibration therapy, a novel form of treatment based on the mechanical and physiological fundamentals of the vibration platform. Objective: The present study evaluated the efficacy of the oscillatory vibration therapy in the improvement of body contour remodeling and in the aspect of cellulite in women. Methods: This is a prospective longitudinal comparative study, in which the following evaluation tools are used: anthropometry, perimetry, adipometry, evaluation of skin viscoelasticity with Cutometer®, evaluation of the thickness of the hypodermis with diagnostic ultrasound and analysis of severity of cellulite (CSS). The evaluations occurred at the start and 1 week after the end of ten oscillatory vibration therapy. The results were analyzing using a paired student's t-test with interval confidence of 95% (PValue <0.05). Results: Thirty women took part in the research, with age of 33 ± 9 years, weight of 62 ± 11 kg, height of 1.66 ± 0.06 m, BMI of 22 ± 2 kg/m2. The measurements of perimetry, adipometry, analysis of subcutaneous tissue thickness by means of diagnostic ultrasound and analysis of skin viscoelasticity did not present significant alterations. However, the CSS variable of the right gluteus (7.3 ± 1.8 to 5.8 ± 1.6 ≤ 0.0001), left gluteus (7.2 ± 1.9 to 5.8 ± 1.6= 0.0001), right thigh (6.9 ± 1.9 to 5.6 ± 1.4 = 0.0004), left thigh (6.9 ± 1.9 to 5.6 ± 1.3 = 0.0004) and Celluqol® (59 ± 16 to 49 ± 16 = 0.022) presented significant difference. Conclusion: The multi-directional oscillatory vibration therapy is an effective and efficient therapy for the treatment of cellulite; however, for the treatment of body remodeling, it must be further evaluated and studied.

Introdução: Várias tecnologias vêm sendo desenvolvidas e otimizadas para o tratamento das afecções inestéticas. Dentre elas está a terapia vibro-oscilatória, uma nova forma de tratamento baseada na fundamentação mecânica e fisiológica da plataforma vibratória Objetivo: O presente estudo avaliou a eficácia da terapia vibro-oscilatória para melhora do remodelamento corporal e aspecto de celulite em mulheres. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo clínico longitudinal prospectivo e comparativo, no qual se utilizaram as seguintes ferramentas de avaliação: antropometria, perímetria, adipometria, avaliação da viscoelasticidade da pele com Cutometer®, avaliação da espessura da hipoderme com ultrassom diagnóstico e análise da escala de severidade da celulite (CSS). As avaliações ocorreram no início e após 1 semana de término das dez sessões da terapia vibro-oscilatória. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas com o software Bioestat 5.0, utilizando o teste de normalidade de Lilliefor (P-valor > 0,05), teste paramétrico e teste T-Student da amostra pareada. Resultados: Trinta mulheres participaram da pesquisa, com média de idade de 33 ± 9 anos, peso médio de 62 ± 11 kg, altura média de 1,66 ± 0,06 metros, IMC médio de 22 ± 2 kg/m2 . As medidas de perímetria, adipometria, análise da espessura do tecido subcutâneo por meio de ultrassom diagnóstico e análise da viscoelasticidade da pele não apresentaram alterações significativas. Entretanto as variáveis de CSS glúteo direito (7,3 ± 1,8 para 5,8 ± 1,6 ≤ 0,0001), glúteo esquerdo (7, 2 ± 1,9 para 5,8 ± 1,6 = 0,0001), coxa direita (6,9 ± 1,9 para 5,6 ± 1,4 = 0,0004), coxa esquerda (6.9 ± 1,9 para 5,6 ± 1,3 = 0,0004) e Celluqol® (59 ± 16 para 49 ± 16 = 0,022), apresentaram diferença significativa. Conclusão: A terapia vibro-oscilatória multidirecional é uma terapia efetiva e eficaz para o tratamento da celulite, porém para o tratamento de remodelamento corporal ela deve ser mais bem avaliada e estudada.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A lipoaspiração corporal e abdominoplastia são cirurgias muitas vezes realizadas em conjunto para obter melhores resultados na modelagem corporal. Cirurgias associadas sempre aumentam a espoliação, por isto conhecer o comportamento da hemoglobina (Hb) no pós-operatório e a recuperação do paciente submetido a estas cirurgias combinadas é importante para sua segurança. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a queda da Hb e a recuperação clínica e laboratorial dos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia combinada de lipoaspiração corporal e lipoabdominoplastia. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo prospectivo em pacientes submetidos à lipoaspiração corporal e lipoabdominoplastia, coletando-se hemogramas antes da indução anestésica, ao final da cirurgia, antes da alta hospitalar, após a 1ª, 2ª e 4ª semanas de pós-operatórios e também acompanhando suas evoluções clínicas. Resultados: A média da Hb ao final da cirurgia e na alta hospitalar foi de 10,4g/dl (desvio padrão (DP) 0,76) e 8,92g/dl (DP 0,86), respectivamente. A recuperação em média da Hb após 1ª, 2ª e 4ª semanas foi de 2,4% (DP 18,07), 41,6% (DP 18,4) e 74% (DP 15,2), respectivamente, em relação a redução que ocorreu entre a Hb inicial e a da alta hospitalar. Queixas de fraqueza e lipotimia foram frequentes até o segundo dia. Conclusão: A melhora clínica ocorreu até o segundo dia de pós-operatório (DPO) e a hemoglobina levou aproximadamente 1 mês para normalizar na maioria dos pacientes tratados apenas com reposição oral de ferro, sem necessidade de hemotransfusão.


Introduction: Body liposuction and abdominoplasty are surgeries often performed together to obtain superior results in body modeling. Since associated surgeries often increase spoliation, being aware of the evolution of hemoglobin (Hb) in the postoperative period and during the recovery of the patients undergoing these associated surgeries is important for their safety. This study aimed to analyze the decrease in Hb and the clinical and laboratory results throughout the recovery of patients undergoing body liposuction associated with lipoabdominoplasty. Methods: A prospective study was conducted with patients undergoing body liposuction and lipoabdominoplasty. CBCs were collected before anesthetic induction, at the end of the surgery, before hospital discharge, after the 1st, 2nd, and 4th postoperative weeks, and during their clinical follow-up period. Results: The average Hb values at the end of surgery and hospital discharge were 10.4 g/dL (standard deviation (SD) 0.76) and 8.92 g/dL (SD 0.86), respectively. The average values during the recovery of Hb after the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks were 2.4% (SD 18.07), 41.6% (SD 18.4), and 74% (SD 15.2), respectively. This is in relation to the reduction between the initial Hb and at hospital discharge. Complaints of weakness and lipothymia were frequent until the second day. Conclusion: Clinical improvement was observed until the second postoperative day (PO day). Hemoglobin required approximately 1 month to normalize in most patients. These patients were treated only with oral iron replacement and did not require blood transfusions.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A lipoaspiração de definição abdominal consiste na criação de sulcos em locais específicos do abdome através da retirada de gordura em toda sua espessura, incluindo a camada superficial, permitindo um maior detalhamento da musculatura. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os resultados da técnica de lipoaspiração na definição abdominal. Métodos: Foram avaliadas 80 pacientes do sexo feminino no período de 2017 a 2018. O grau de definição e as complicações relacionadas ao procedimento foram avaliadas pelo autor. Todas as pacientes responderam um questionário padrão sobre grau de definição abdominal, satisfação, naturalidade do resultado, aumento da atividade física e melhora da alimentação. Resultados: A média de idade das pacientes foi de 38,97 anos e a média de índice de massa corporal, 24,01. Gestação prévia foi observada em 75% dos casos, cirurgia abdominal pregressa em 25% e tabagismo em 2,5%. Cirurgias simultâneas foram realizadas em 90%. Em relação ao tipo de cirurgia realizada, ocorreu a seguinte distribuição: 40% lipoaspiração isolada, 36,25% lipoabdominoplastia, 12,5% minilipoabdominoplastia, 10% lipoaspiração pós-abdominoplastia e 1,25% lipoabdominoplastia reversa. Grau 2 de definição abdominal foi observado em 86,25% e complicações ocorreram em 8 pacientes. O índice de satisfação foi de 91,7% e o resultado foi classificado como natural por 97,5% das pacientes. Conclusão: A lipoaspiração de definição abdominal promoveu um alto índice de satisfação e naturalidade à região abdominal. Esse resultado pode ser atingido através da técnica de lipoaspiração convencional, sem nenhum dispositivo tecnológico adicional. Contudo, são necessários novos estudos para avaliação dos resultados em longo prazo.


Introduction: Abdominal etching involves improvement of the appearance of the abdominal musculature by removing fat from several skin layers, including the superficial layer. This study evaluated the aesthetic results of abdominal etching using liposuction. Methods: The aesthetic results and surgical complications of female patients were evaluated between 2017 and 2018. All study patients answered a standard questionnaire about the extent of improvement in body image, overall satisfaction level, naturalness of the result, and changes in exercise and dietary habits. Results: The mean patient age was 38.97 years, while the mean body mass index was 24.01. In our sample, 75% of the subjects had previous pregnancies, 25% had previous abdominal surgeries, and 2.5% had a history of smoking. Simultaneous surgeries were performed in 90% of cases. The following surgery types were performed: liposuction alone (40.00%), liposuction + abdominoplasty (36.25%), miniabdominoplasty (12.50%), abdominoplasty + liposuction (10.00%), and reverse abdominoplasty (1.25%). Moderate aesthetic improvement was observed in 86.25% of the patients, and surgical complications occurred in eight patients. The satisfaction rate was 91.7%, and the result was classified as natural by 97.5% of the patients. Conclusion: Abdominal etching promoted high patient satisfaction and achieved a natural appearance of the abdomen. This surgical outcome was achieved using conventional liposuction without the need for additional techniques. However, further studies are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A mamoplastia redutora é ainda um procedimento que desafia o cirurgião plástico. O objetivo é demonstrar os resultados no tratamento de variados graus de hipertrofia e ptose mamária utilizando-se a técnica de Marcação Única, proposta por Pessoa, durante o treinamento de novos cirurgiões plásticos. Métodos: Coorte retrospectivo de 95 pacientes submetidas à mamoplastia redutora pela técnica de Pessoa. Incluídas pacientes com ptose, hipertrofia, gigantomastia e/ou assimetria das mamas. Os procedimentos foram realizados por residentes do primeiro, segundo e terceiro ano. Como fatores de exclusão foram usados: distúrbios psicológicos, obesidade mórbida e/ou pacientes com indicação de implante de prótese sem redução de pele e/ou aréola. Foram avaliados a idade, sexo, volume resultante, grau de satisfação, complicações e dificuldades dos residentes para realização do procedimento cirúrgico. Resultados: Todas as pacientes do sexo feminino, com idade entre 21 e 61 anos. 90,53% das pacientes declararam-se muito satisfeitas, 5,26% satisfeitas, 3,16% pouco satisfeitas e 1,05% insatisfeita. Como complicações, foram observadas necrose de complexo areolopapilar (1,05%), epidermólise (11,58%) e deiscência de sutura (9,47%). As dificuldades encontradas pelos residentes, dependendo da etapa do procedimento cirúrgico, variaram entre 11,1% e 55,6%. Conclusões: Verificou-se alto grau de satisfação tanto da parte das pacientes quanto dos residentes envolvidos. Os resultados encontrados confirmam a efetividade da técnica no treinamento de residentes.


Introduction: Reduction mastoplasty is still a challenging procedure for plastic surgeons. The Objective is to show the results of the treatment of different degrees of breast hypertrophy using Pessoa's single marking technique performed while training plastic surgeons. Methods: A retrospective cohort of 95 patients underwent reduction mastoplasty using Pessoa's technique. The cohort included patients with breast ptosis, hypertrophy, gigantomastia, and/ or breast asymmetry. The procedures were performed by first-, second-, and third-year residents. The exclusion criteria were psychological disorders, morbid obesity, and/or indication for prosthesis implantation without skin and/or areola reduction. The analyzed factors were age, sex, final size, patient's degree of satisfaction, complications, and difficulties experienced by the residents in performing the surgery. Results: All patients were women aged between 21 and 61 years. Of the patients, 90.53% reported being very satisfied; 5.26%, satisfied; 3.16%, poorly satisfied; and 1.05%, dissatisfied. The complications observed were necrosis of the nipple-areola complex (1.05%), epidermolysis (11.58%), and suture dehiscence (9.47%). The rate of difficulty experienced by the residents varied between 11.1% and 55.6%, depending on the step of the surgical procedure. Conclusions: A high degree of satisfaction was reported by both the patients and residents. The results confirm the effectiveness of the technique while training residents.

ABSTRACT

La inyección de aceites de silicona ha sido utilizada para modificar el contorno corporal en todo el mundo, especialmente en Japón desde 1940 y para el aumento mamario. Como cirujanos, nos encontramos cada vez más frecuentemente llamados a enfrentar los problemas generados por esta forma ilegal de aumento mamario: tumores de mama bilaterales, algunos dolorosos; masas duras que a menudo se confunden con un cáncer de mama avanzado, tumores axilares. La extrema dificultad para descartar un cáncer de mama a través del examen físico, mamografías, ecografías e incluso resonancia magnética (MRI) con gadolinio complican aún más el tratamiento en estas pacientes. Nuestra experiencia, de más de 20 años investigando esta patología, nos ha mostrado claramente que, para tratar a pacientes con esta enfermedad tan compleja, se requiere de un equipo terapéutico multidisciplinario. Este equipo debe tener una visión integral del paciente y comprometerse en el tratamiento de cada caso. Actuando de manera coordinada, abordando todas las diferentes sintomatologías de la enfermedad, ya sean locales o sistémicas, físicas o psicológicas. La inyección de siliconas y otros aceites tiene un impacto social muy desfavorable, ya que enferma e incapacita a un gran número de personas durante los años más productivos de su vida. Analizaremos los enfoques terapéuticos apropiados para cada forma de presentación de las enfermedades producidas por la inyección de siliconas en las mamas


The injection of silicone oils has been used to modify body contours around the world and especially in Japan, since 1940, most commonly to increase breast size. As surgeons, we find ourselves increasingly being called to deal with problems generated by this illegal form of breast augmentation­bilateral breast tumors, some painful, some not; hard masses that are often confused with advanced breast cancer; and axillary tumors­all caused by silicones. To this is added the extreme difficulty ruling out breast cancer through physical examinations, mammography, ultrasound, and even magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium. Our experience, over 20 years treating and investigating this pathology, has clearly shown us that, to treat these patients with such complex disease, a multidisciplinary therapeutic team is required. Moreover, that team must have a comprehensive vision and be committed to tailoring treatment to each patient individually. The team also must act in a coordinated manner, addressing all the different implications of disease, whether local or systemic, physical or psychological. The injection of silicones and other oils has had an unfavorable social impact, because it incapacitates a large number of people during the most productive years of their life. We will now present the appropriate therapeutic approaches for each form of mammary siliconoma presentation.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Abdominoplastia é um dos procedimentos cirúrgicos estéticos mais realizados. Seroma é a complicação local mais comum associada com abdominoplastia, com uma incidência média de 10%. A maior incidência de seroma pós-operatório (PO) ocorre no décimo primeiro dia PO. Ecografia abdominal é o método de escolha para o diagnóstico de seroma após abdominoplastia. Novas técnicas surgiram ao longo dos anos na tentativa de trazer melhores resultados estéticos com menos complicações, como lipoabdominoplastia descrita por Saldanha. Porém, estudos anatômicos recentes questionam a necessidade da manutenção da fáscia de Scarpa descrita na técnica de lipoabdominoplastia, descrevendo que em torno de 90% do sistema linfático abdominal está no plano subdérmico e 10% em um sistema linfático profundo justa-aponeurose abdominal. O objetivo é comparar a incidência de seroma na lipoabdominoplastia sem preservação da fáscia de Scarpa com a abdominoplastia clássica. Métodos: Coorte prospectiva, cega na qual serão analisados 40 pacientes consecutivos que realizaram abdominoplastia sem lipoaspiração associada (n = 20) ou lipoabdominoplastia (n = 20) no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre entre abril de 2016 e maio de 2017. Todos foram submetidos à ecografia de parede abdominal no 10o dia PO. Resultados: A incidência de seroma foi de 5% (n = 1) no grupo de abdominoplastia clássica e de 10% (n = 2) no grupo de lipoabdominoplastia, sem diferença estatística. Conclusão: Estes resultados, neste grupo de pacientes, mostram que não houve diferença estatística entre os dois grupos.


Introduction: Abdominoplasty is among the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Seroma is the most common local complication associated with abdominoplasty, with an average incidence of 10%. The highest incidence of postoperative (PO) seroma occurs on the eleventh postoperative day (POD). Abdominal ultrasound is the method of choice for diagnosing seroma after abdominoplasty. New techniques have emerged aiming to improve aesthetic results with fewer complications, such as lipoabdominoplasty described by Saldanha. However, recent anatomical studies have questioned the need for Scarpa fascia preservation recommended in the lipoabdominoplasty technique, describing that around 90% of the abdominal lymphatic system is in the subdermal plane, while the other 10% is in a deep lymphatic system near the abdominal aponeurosis. The objective is to compare the incidence of seroma in lipoabdominoplasty without Scarpa fascia preservation to that in classic abdominoplasty. Methods: Prospective blinded cohort in which 40 consecutive patients who underwent abdominoplasty without associated liposuction (n = 20) or lipoabdominoplasty (n = 20) at the Hospital de Clínicas of Porto Alegre between April 2016 and May 2017 were analyzed. All patients underwent abdominal wall ultrasonography on the tenth POD. Results: The incidence of seroma was 5% (n = 1) in the classic abdominoplasty group and 10% (n = 2) in the lipoabdominoplasty group, with no statistical difference. Conclusion: These results showed no statistically significant intergroup difference in seroma development.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La obesidad es un problema de salud pública, la cirugía bariátrica es una opción terapéutica cada vez más utilizada, facilitando bajas significativas de peso. El excedente cutáneo y adiposidad pueden producir problemas tanto físicos como psicológicos. El tratamiento de estos pacientes requiere en algunos casos de grandes resecciones cutáneas, el Lower Body Lift es una estrategia combinada que permite tratar de forma integral el área abdominal, glútea y muslo proximal. Objetivo: Presentar una serie de pacientes con pérdida masiva de peso con la técnica del Lower Body Lift y exponer la técnica quirúrgica. Materiales y Método: Cohorte de pacientes tratados con Lower Body Lift por un equipo de cirugía plástica del hospital clínico universitario, entre enero de 2013 y junio de 2016. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de las variables analizadas y se presenta la técnica quirúrgica. Resultados: De un total de 97 procedimientos de contorno corporal inferior en pacientes con pérdida masiva de peso, 17 (17,52%) fueron Lower Body Lift, de los cuales 14 (82,35%) correspondieron a mujeres, con una edad promedio de 39,2 ± 11,2 años. En promedio los pacientes tuvieron una pérdida de peso de 41,4 ± 14,9 Kg, siendo el IMC al momento de la intervención de 26,02 ± 6,17 Kg/m2. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con pérdida masiva de peso presentan un gran excedente cutáneo que puede requerir resecciones extensas para lograr la corrección satisfactoria del contorno. Nuestros pacientes tuvieron una pérdida de peso de alrededor de 40 Kg previo a la cirugía, alcanzando IMC casi normales. La técnica de Lower Body Lift permite corregir satisfactoriamente las secuelas de la baja masiva de peso, con bajas complicaciones asociadas.


Introduction: Obesity is a public health problem; bariatric surgery is an effective treatment to weight loss. Skin surplus and adiposity can produce physical and psychological problems. The management of these patients requires large cutaneous resections. The Lower Body Lift is an integral strategy that allows to handle abdominal, gluteal and proximal thigh area. Objective: Present a series of patients with massive weight loss using the Lower Body Lift and expose the surgical technique. Materials and Method: Cohort of patients managed with Lower Body Lift by plastic surgeons of a university clinical hospital, between January 2013 and June 2016. A descriptive analysis of the series was realized. And the surgical technique is exposed. Results: Of a total of 97 lower body contour procedures in patients with massive weight loss, 17 (17.52%) were Lower Body Lift. 14 (82.35%) were women, with a mean age of 39.2 ± 11.2 years. On average, the patients had a weight loss of 41.4 ± 14.9 kg, with the BMI at the time of the intervention of 26.02 ± 6.17 kg/m2. Conclusions: Patients with massive weight loss have a large cutaneous surplus that may require extensive resections to achieve satisfactory contour correction. Our patients had a weight loss of about 40 Kg prior to surgery, reaching almost normal BMI. The Lower Body Lift technique successfully corrects the aftermath of massive weight loss, with associated low complications.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En pacientes obesos la pérdida masiva de peso presenta efectos beneficiosos para la salud, sin embargo, suelen cursar con un excedente cutáneo que genera problemas físicos, afectando la calidad de vida. En casos severos las técnicas convencionales de contorno corporal, no permiten dar solución a grandes alteraciones, siendo necesario utilizar procedimientos más extensos. El Upper Body Lift es una técnica que ofrece un manejo integral del tronco superior. Objetivos: Describir una serie de casos de pacientes sometidos a Upper Body Lift y presentar la técnica quirúrgica. Material y Método: Serie de casos prospectiva entre enero del 2013 y junio de 2016, en un hospital clínico universitario. Se excluyó a pacientes con información incompleta u operados en otro centro. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva. Resultados: 8 pacientes manejados mediante Upper Body Lift, con edad 39,75 ± 9,37 años, 6 (75%) mujeres. Con pérdida de peso de 36,75 ± 9,11 Kg, alcanzando un IMC de 25,97 ± 2,35 Kg/m2. En hombres la región pectoral se manejó con liposucción y posterior injerto de pezón, en mujeres se realizó mastopexia sin implantes en 5 (83,33%). No se observó complicación mayor y en 4 casos (50%) se presentó complicación menor durante posoperatorio. Discusión: Esta serie presenta resultados similares a lo descrito por otros autores. Conclusiones: El Upper Body Lift es un procedimiento que ofrece un manejo integral y con buenos resultados, en pacientes con gran excedente cutáneo en tronco superior.


Introduction: Obese patients gets beneficial health effects with the massive weight loss, however they develop excessive redundant skin and become physical problems affecting their quality of life. In severe cases, the conventional body contouring techniques are not able to solve this large alterations, being necessary to use more extensive procedures. The Upper Body Lift is a technique that offers integral management of the upper trunk. Objectives: To describe a case series of patients submitted to Upper Body Lift and present the surgical technique. Materials and Methods: Prospective case series of patients with Upper Body Lift between January 2013 and June 2016 in a clinical hospital. Patients with incomplete information or operated in another center were excluded. Descriptive statistics was used. Results: 8 patients were included, age 39.75 ± 9.37 years, 6 (75%) women. Prior to the contouring surgery they lose 36.75 ± 9.11 kg, reaching a BMI of 25.97 ± 2.35 kg/m2.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La inyección de silicona líquida y sus complicaciones a largo plazo fueron descriptas por Winer en 1964. Los siliconomas representan la reacción infl amatoria mediada por el organismo en respuesta a la inyección de un cuerpo extraño, produciendo complicaciones tales como deformidad, dolor y celulitis. Material y método. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 64 años de edad con antecedente de inyección de silicona líquida en región glútea en el año 2000. Evolucionó con deformidad en glúteos y ambas regiones trocantéricas asociadas a dolor en posición supina y sedestación. Se trató mediante dermolipectomía de las regiones comprometidas asociado a lipotransferencia glútea en el plano profundo del tejido celular subcutáneo en dos tiempos quirúrgicos. Resultados. La remisión del dolor fue del 100% a los 7 días con escaso requerimiento de analgésicos vía oral. Se observó mejoría de la calidad de la piel y menor congestión tisular. Además, se observó una recuperación del contorno corporal con atenuación de la celulitis y deformidad lateral. A los 8 meses posoperatorios los resultados estéticos fueron satisfactorios. Conclusión. El tratamiento quirúrgico resectivo de las regiones comprometidas por la disgregación de silicona líquida más lipotransferencia corregiría las complicaciones tanto estéticas (deformidad anatómica, celulitis) y funcionales disminuyendo el dolor vinculado a la presencia de estos cuerpos extraños, con mejoría en la calidad de los tejidos lesionados.


Background. Silicone injection and its further complications were fi rst reported by Winner in the 1960s. Siliconomas represent the chronic infl ammatory reaction of the organism in response to the presence of a foreign body. The latter complications such as deformity, cellulitis and pain are often seen and very diffi cult to treat. Material and method. A case of a 64 year-old male with medical history of silicone injection in gluteal region in year 2000. At physical examination, he had deformity of the gluteal and trochanteric regions associated with pain. The surgical strategy consisted in dermolipectomy of the thights and buttocks associating mechanical liposuction of the damaged region with posterior lipofi llingin the deep cellular tissue in both gluteal zones. The fat grafting was done in to separated sessions. Results. Pain decreased in 100% at 7 days postoperative with a low consume of analgesics. There was an improvement in skin quality with less local tissue congestion. Cellulitis and lateral deformity of tights were well-treated with surgery. With a follow-up of 8 months, cosmetic and functional results were satisfactory. Conclusion. The association of dermolipectomy with mechanical liposuction and lipofi lling may be a good surgical strategy in the correction of silicone injection sequelae improving not only the aesthetic results but also the remission of pain providing a better quality of life in these patients.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A minilipoabdominoplastia com desinserção do umbigo representa uma tática cirúrgica restrita àqueles casos nos quais a lipoaspiração isolada causaria piora da flacidez, enquanto a abdominoplastia convencional implicaria em ressecção exagerada de pele. Permite plicatura xifopúbica dos retos abdominais e boa ressecção do excedente cutâneo abdominal inferior. O objetivo é apresentar pacientes com umbigo alto tratados com lipoaspiração, minilipoabdominoplastia com desinserção de umbigo e reinserção abaixo, e comparar duas técnicas para reinserção umbilical. Métodos: Foram operadas seis pacientes no período de janeiro a junho de 2013 no Hospital Escola da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (UFTM), Uberaba, MG, todas do sexo feminino, com idades de 32 a 50 anos, submetidas à anestesia peridural e geral. Resultados: Pós-operatórios com contornos corporais de silhuetas naturais e cicatrizes umbilicais reposicionadas sem cicatrizes externas. Conclusão: A técnica empregada permite o tratamento da flacidez moderada do abdome superior e inferior com uma incisão menor, proporciona cicatriz umbilical sem cicatriz externa e menores chances de complicações em virtude do menor descolamento.


Introduction: The minilipoabdominoplastia with umbilicus detachment represents a surgical procedure restricted to cases in which isolated liposuction would cause worsening of sagging skin, while the conventional abdominoplasty would imply excessive skin resection. It allows xyphopubic plication of the rectus abdominis muscle and good resection of the excessive lower abdominal skin. The objective is to provide patients with high umbilucus treated with liposuction, mini-abdominoplasty with umbilucus detachment and reinsertion below, and comparison of two techniques for umbilical reinsertion. Methods: We included six women aged 32- to 50-year-old and who underwent surgery under spine and general anesthesia from January to June 2013 in the Hospital of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro, Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Results: After surgery, patients had natural silhouettes of body contours and umbilicus repositioned without external scars. Conclusion: The technique used allows treatment of moderate sagging skin of upper and lower abdomen with need of a small incision, the technique provides umbilicus scarring without external scarring and less chance of complications due to the small detachment.

ABSTRACT

Retalhos do músculo esternocleidomastoideo têm sido descritos na literatura para reconstrução dos defeitos da cavidade oral e tratamento da síndrome de Frey. Apesar de largamente estudado, esses retalhos não são utilizados com frequência para reconstruções na região de cabeça e pescoço devido limitações como tamanho reduzido, camadas inseguras, contorno da deformidade no pescoço e questões de segurança oncológica. Relata-se uso de perfurador baseado em transposição de retalho para defeito na região da posterior do pescoço, seguido por excisão de sarcoma de partes moles. Trata-se de alternativa válida para procedimentos de reconstrução como retalhos regionais de pedículo ou transferência de tecido livre em um grupo apropriado de pacientes.


Sternocleidomastoid musculocutaneous flaps have been described in the literature for reconstruction of oral cavity defects and treatment of Frey's syndrome. Although widely studied, it is not used routinely in head and neck reconstruction due to limitations like small size, unreliable skin paddle, contour deformity in the neck and the question of oncologic safety. We report use of perforator based musculocutaneous transposition flap for defect over nape of the neck, followed by excision of a soft tissue sarcoma. This constitutes a valid alternative to other reconstructive procedures like pedicled regional flaps or free tissue transfer in a suitable group of patients.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The abdomen is a critical region and is subjected to body contour deformity after significant weight loss. Knowing the profile of patients who undergo abdominoplasty after bariatric surgery facilitates the choice of the optimal time and surgical technique to restore abdominal contour, which is associated with a minimal rate of complications. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical, and retrospective clinical study was performed on medical record data of 315 patients who underwent abdominal dermolipectomy following bariatric surgery from January 2013 to December 2014. Results: A total of 265 female and 50 male patients were analyzed, with an average age of 39.9 years and an average body mass index of 27.5 kg/m2 after weight loss. The average time interval between bariatric surgery and dermolipectomy was 3 years and 11 months. Anchor abdominoplasty was used in 252 patients, while suprapubic transverse abdominoplasty was performed in 63 patients. The complication rate was 17.3%, including minor complications such as hematomas, seromas, and pathological scars, in addition to one case of pulmonary embolism. Conclusion: The epidemiological profile of patients with deformity of the abdominal contour after bariatric surgery was in agreement with that reported in the current literature, except for earlier hospital discharge in the group studied.


Introdução: O abdome é considerado área crítica de deformidade do contorno corporal após perda ponderal significativa. Conhecer o perfil dos pacientes submetidos à abdominoplastia pós-cirurgia bariátrica facilita a escolha do tempo ideal e da técnica cirúrgica que visa restaurar este contorno com uma taxa mínima de complicações. Métodos: Estudo clínico, transversal, descritivo, analítico e retrospectivo com dados de 315 prontuários de pacientes submetidos à dermolipectomia abdominal pós-cirurgia bariátrica de janeiro de 2013 a dezembro de 2014. Resultados: Foram analisados 265 pacientes do gênero feminino e 50 do gênero masculino, com idade média de 39,9 anos e índice de massa corporal médio de 27,5 Kg/m2 após emagrecimento. O tempo médio de intervalo entre a cirurgia bariátrica e a dermolipectomia foi de 3 anos e 11 meses. A abdominoplastia em âncora foi utilizada em 252 pacientes e em 63 realizou-se abdominoplastia com cicatriz transversal suprapúbica. A taxa de complicações foi de 17,3%, incluindo complicações menores como hematomas, seromas e cicatrizes patológicas e um caso de embolia pulmonar. Conclusão: O perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com deformidade de contorno abdominal pós-cirurgia bariátrica estudados assemelha-se ao apresentado na literatura atual, exceto pela alta hospitalar precoce.
