ABSTRACT

Durante muchos años, el gel de silicona ha tenido un rol primario en el tratamiento y la prevención de cicatrices anómalas en forma de cicatrices hipertróficas y queloides luego de la epitelización. Los autores publican los hallazgos preliminares sobre el uso de un novedoso apósito de gel de silicona grado médico que forma una película y que fue aprobado para ser usado en heridas abiertas y en lesiones de la piel como único tratamiento y en combinación con otros tratamientos previos a la reepitelización. Un estudio observacional de 105 pacientes analizó la efectividad del gel de silicona en la estimulación de la epitelización acelerada, la reducción de la respuesta inflamatoria y la prevención de la formación de cicatrices. El estudio se realizó en una variedad de intervenciones quirúrgicas dermatológicas. Las observaciones de los autores confirmaron el rol de la silicona en la aceleración de la cicatrización de heridas, la prevención de la formación de cicatrices y la utilidad de este nuevo apósito de silicona que forma una película cuando se lo combina con otras modalidades de tratamiento. (SKINmed. 2012; 10:S1- S7).


For many years, silicone gel has played a primary role in the treatment of prevention of abnormal scars in the form of after epithelialization. The authors publish the pre-elimination findings use of a novel medical grade silicone gel dressing that form a film that was approved for use in open wounds and in skin as the only treatment and in combination with other treatments prior to re-epithelialization. An observational study of 105 patients analyzed the effectiveness of silicone gel in the stimulation of accelerated epithelialization, reducing the inflammatory response and preventing the formation of scars. The study was conducted on a variety of dermatological surgeries. The authors' observations confirmed the role of silicone in acceleration of wound healing, prevention of the formation of the usefulness of this new silicone dressing that forms a film it is combined with other forms of treatment.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O abdome é um segmento estético-funcional importante na caracterização do contorno corporal. Na abdominoplastia, o posicionamento e o formato da cicatriz umbilical são importantes para um resultado satisfatório. Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever a técnica de onfaloplastia vertical, bem como apresentar os resultados obtidos. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal retrospectivo descritivo composto por pacientes submetidos à onfaloplastia vertical durante a abdominoplastia clássica no período de 2014 a 2017. A técnica consistiu em uma incisão linear vertical transcutânea sem retirada de fuso de pele e com mínimo desengorduramento da parede ao redor do umbigo, seguida da confecção de um ponto na porção lateral do pedículo umbilical, transfixante, permitindo sua invaginação e fixação rente à aponeurose do reto abdominal. Resultados: Do total de 128 pacientes avaliados, a faixa etária variou de 25 a 62 anos, com média de 32 anos. O tempo médio do ato operatório foi de 2 horas e 33 minutos. Não foram observadas complicações cirúrgicas como hematoma ou necrose do retalho abdominal. Foram observados 2 casos de deiscências, 4 casos de cicatriz hipertrófica, com 2 evoluindo para estenose umbilical e 1 caso de necrose umbilical. No seguimento ambulatorial 92,2% dos pacientes mostraram-se muito satisfeitos com o resultado final obtido. A análise técnica apresentou um grau de satisfação de 88,8% dos casos. Conclusão: A técnica descrita apresenta resultados satisfatórios, diminui a possibilidade do surgimento do anel cicatricial e permite minimizar um dos estigmas da abdominoplastia, que é uma cicatriz umbilical muito visível.


Introduction: The abdomen is an important aesthetic functional segment in the characterization of the body contour. In abdominoplasty, the placement and shape of the umbilical scar are important for a satisfactory result. This study aimed to describe the technique of vertical omphaloplasty and to present the results obtained. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal descriptive study composed of patients who underwent vertical omphaloplasty during classic abdominoplasty between 2014 and 2017. The technique consists of a vertical transcutaneous incision without removal of the skin spindle and with minimal degreasing of the wall around the umbilicus, followed by the transfixing a point in the lateral portion of the umbilical pedicle, allowing its invagination and fixation close to the aponeurosis of the rectus abdominis. Results: In the 128 patients evaluated, the patients' age ranged from 25 to 62 years, with a mean of 32 years. The mean time of surgery was 2 h and 33 min. No surgical complications occurred, such as hematoma or abdominal flap necrosis. Two cases of dehiscence, four cases of hypertrophic scar, two cases of stenosis, and one case of umbilical necrosis were observed. In outpatient follow-up, 92.2% of the patients were very satisfied with the final result. The technical analysis presented an 88% degree of satisfaction. Conclusion: The technique described presents satisfactory results, reduces the possibility of the appearance of a cicatricial ring, and allows minimizing one of the stigmas of abdominoplasty, which is a very visible umbilical scar.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Keloids and hypertrophic scars are dermal fibro-proliferative disorders unique to humans. Their treatment is a true challenge with multiple options, but not all the time with good results. Unfortunatelythis problem is not uncommon in patients with history of burn injury. Aim: To evaluate use of verapamil andpressure garments in patients with hypertrophic or keloid scar caused by burn injury. methods: We includedpatients with a hypertrophic or keloid scar caused by burn injury that report non-response to treatment withpressure garment. The pathologic scars were evaluated by serial photographic records, Vancouver and Posasscales. The scales of Vancouver and Posas were compared with t Student. Results: We included 13 scars in11 patients. Four scars were located in the legs, 4 in the arms, 4 in the face-neck and 1 in the abdomen. Thedose of verapamil was calculated 0.03 mg per kg. Injections were scheduled every 7 to 10 days until complete 6 sessions. Taking in count Posas scale, patients referred improvement in pigmentation (0.01), thickness(0.005), pliability (0.01), pruritus (0.003) and irregular surface (0.004). In the Vancouver scale the observers mentioned improvement in elevation (0.008), pigmentation (0.014), vascularity (0.022) and flexibility (0.014).No adverse effects were found in verapamil injection. Conclusion: Verapamil was useful in conjunction withpressure garment to improve the condition of the keloid and hypertrophic scar caused by burn.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O tratamento das sequelas cicatriciais permanece um desafio na prática diária. Corticosteroides injetáveis são amplamente utilizados no combate a queloides e cicatrizes hipertróficas, mas substâncias como a pentoxifilina (PTF) também têm demonstrado eficácia clínica na modulação dessas cicatrizes. Objetivos: No presente estudo, propusemos a comparação dos efeitos da PTF e do corticosteroide triancinolona nas cicatrizes hipertróficas de pacientes vítimas de queimaduras por meio de análise histológica da organização das fibras que contêm colágeno e das fibras do sistema elástico. Métodos: Foram estudadas amostras de pele cicatricial de 10 pacientes, entre 20 e 40 anos, com história de queimaduras em tronco, com até 24 meses de evolução, não tratadas cirurgicamente. Cada paciente teve duas áreas cicatriciais tratadas, uma com Hexacetonido de Triancinolona 20 mg/ml e outra com Pentoxifilina 1 mg/ ml; tendo sido realizadas três aplicações intracicatriciais com intervalos mensais. Uma biópsia de cada área tratada foi colhida após 30 dias de cada aplicação. Resultados: Os resultados clínicos foram evidentes e semelhantes para as duas drogas: diminuição da espessura, do prurido, da hiperemia e da consistência da cicatriz. Não se observaram diferenças arquiteturais no tecido conjuntivo subepidérmico quando comparadas a cicatriz original com as cicatrizes após cada tipo de tratamento (grandes feixes de fibras colágenas em todas as direções, com ausência de fibras do sistema elástico). Estudos subsequentes envolvendo a análise da espessura total da cicatriz e o grau de vascularização/ inflamação presentes se fazem necessários na investigação da justificativa da eficácia clínica dos tratamentos. Conclusão: Concluímos que a PTF teve uma resposta clínica e morfológica similar à triancinolona nos casos tratados.


Introduction: The treatment of scarring sequelae remains challenge in daily practice. Injecting corticosteroids are widely used to combat keloids and hypertrophic scars, but substances such as pentoxifylline (PTF) have also demonstrated clinical efficacy in modulating these scars. Objectives: This study set out to compare the effects of TFP and corticosteroid triamcinolone in hypertrophic scars of burn victims by histological analysis of the organization of the fibers containing collagen and elastic system fibers. Methods: Scar skin samples from 10patients were studied between 20 and 40 years, with a history of burns on the trunk, up to 24 months of evolution, not surgically treated. Each patient had two treated scar areas, one with triamcinolone hexacetonide 20 mg/ml and the other with pentoxifylline 1 mg/ml; having been held three intracicatriciais applications at monthly intervals. A biopsy of each treated area was harvested after 30 days of each application. Results: The clinical results were evident and similar for the two drugs: thinning, itching, hyperemia and scar consistency. There were no differences in architectural subepidermal connective tissue when compared with the original scar scars after each treatment (large bundles of collagen fibers in all directions with no elastic system fibers). Subsequent studies involving the analysis of the total thickness of the scar and the extent of vascularization/inflammation gifts are needed to investigate the reasons of clinical efficacy of treatments. Conclusion: We conclude that TFP had a clinical and morphological response similar to triamcinolone in treated cases.

ABSTRACT

Scar formation is a consequence of the wound healing process that occurs when body tissues are damaged by a physical injury. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are pathological scars resulting from abnormal responses to trauma and can be itchy and painful, causing serious functional and cosmetic disability. The current review will focus on the definition of hypertrophic scars, distinguishing them from keloids and on the various methods for treating hypertrophic scarring that have been described in the literature, including treatments with clearly proven efficiency and therapies with doubtful benefits. Numerous methods have been described for the treatment of abnormal scars, but to date, the optimal treatment method has not been established. This review will explore the differences between different types of nonsurgical management of hypertrophic scars, focusing on the indications, uses, mechanisms of action, associations and efficacies of the following therapies: silicone, pressure garments, onion extract, intralesional corticoid injections and bleomycin. .

ABSTRACT

The formation of hypertrophic scars is common following healing of the burn wound, particularly in children. The face is one of the areas of the body most frequently affected by burns. Scar formation as a result of burn wounds leads to contraction of the formed granulation tissue, which causes both aesthetic and functional impairment for the patient. Scarring has major psychological and physical repercussions. Scarring on the face and visible regions of the body can be very distressing for the patient. Prevention of scars involves early and continuous use of a compressive orthesis. However, their efficacy is often limited to the facial region because of the contours of this area of body. This paper describes a clinical case of post-burn hypertrophic scars treated with silicone gel sheeting applied with pressure under custom made auto-polymerizing resin stent.

ABSTRACT

Contexte : les cicatrices chéloïdiennes sont fréquentes chez le sujet noir africain et particulièrement en Côte d'Ivoire. La prise en charge mal codifiée, et la chronicité sont responsable des récidives fréquentes. Objectif: Evaluer la prise en charge des cicatrices chéloïdiennes en vue d'une codification. Matériels et méthodes :Cette étude a été réalisée au Service de Dermatologie du CHU de Treichville. Il s'agit d'une étude thérapeutique à visée pronostique sur une période d'un an. Ont été inclus tous les patients présentant une cicatrice chéloïdienne et ayant donné leur consentement pour participer à l'étude. Résultats : L'étude a permis de noter que:- la moyenne d'âge était de 28 ans sans prédominance de sexe - le traitement le plus utilisé était l'association chirurgie et les infiltrations de corticoïde retard dans 66% des cas. - nous avons obtenu un très bon résultat dans 73% des cas- l'évolution avait été très bonne dans 90,5% avec la triple association : les infiltrations, la chirurgie et la presso thérapie. Conclusion: La méthode thérapeutique associant les infiltrations de corticoïde retard à la chirurgie et à un autre moyen thérapeutique donne de meilleurs résultats. Elle devrait se faire en fonction des caractéristiques cliniques de la cicatrice chéloïdienne

ABSTRACT

Keloids and hypertrophic scars are frequent observed. These two conditions are considered part of the abnormal wound-healing spectrum. The main difference between keloids and hypertrophic scars is the scar extension in relation to the original incision, where former extends beyond the original incision while the latter respects it. The main issue with both conditions is that treatment modalities used today offer unacceptable high recurrence rates, between 50 to 70 percent, when they are applied as monotherapy. With combined treatment modalities recurrence rates have improved partially depending mainly in the chosen combination and so, this strategy is likely the optimal choice for the management of these lesions. The objective of this review was to highlight the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of keloids with mono or combined therapy, focusing mainly in the surgical and radiotherapy/brachytherapy modalities.

ABSTRACT

Las cicatrices extensas son lesiones que condicionan la vida de los pacientes que las padecen, produciendo retracción social o como en este caso condicionando la vestimenta de una joven adolescente de 15 años. Se realiza el tratamiento de cicatrices postquemadura que padece desde los 2 meses de edad, combinando diversos métodos como peeling, mesoterapia, dermoabrasión y ultrasonido, obteniendo como resultado la mejoría clínica, estética y psicológica, brindándole una calidad de vida superior.


Extensive scars modify the patient's life. Significant scarring causes functional and cosmetic deformities, discomfort and psychological stress. We report a teenager, who suffered from burning when she was two months old. She has been under scar treatment combining several methods such as peeling, mesotherapy, manual dermoabrasion and ultrasound. Up to now, we improved the patient's life quality, obtaining a clinical improvement, such as aesthetic and psychological one.

ABSTRACT

Con la finalidad de prevenir o mejorar la apariencia de las cicatrices hipertróficas, sean éstas de origen quirúrgico o traumático, se ha desarrollado una gran variedad de tratamientos, tanto tópicos como sistémicos. Estas lesiones son notoriamente recurrentes y su manejo es poco satisfactorio. Ninguna medida en forma individual ha probado ser efectiva en evitar el proceso de la cicatrización hipertrófica (CH), con excepción tal vez de la silicona. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo revisar la evidencia disponible en estudios prospectivos, controlados, descritos en la literatura acerca de la utilidad de la silicona en el tratamiento de las cicatrices hipertróficas
