ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivo: Las medidas de distancia social y el confinamiento domiciliario llevado a cabo durante los primeros meses de la pandemia COVID-19 han tenido un gran impacto sobre la carga asistencial en los servicios de urgencias. El objetivo de este estudio es examinar el efecto que esta situación ha tenido en el volumen y características de las urgencias que precisaron valoración por Cirugía Plástica en nuestro centro durante los meses de confinamiento domiciliario y un año después. Material y método: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes valorados de forma urgente por Cirugía Plástica en el Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de A Coruña (España) entre los meses de marzo y junio de 2019, 2020 y 2021. Resultados: Fueron valorados 1511 pacientes de forma urgente: 552 en el periodo estudiado en 2019, 446 en 2020, y 513 en 2021. La media de edad durante el periodo de confinamiento fue superior (p=0.018). No hubo diferencias por sexo. Existió una disminución de consultas por traumatismo de cabeza y cuello (p=0.047) y miembro superior (p=0.175) durante el confinamiento, y de pacientes quemados en el periodo estudiado en 2021 (p<0.001). Se redujeron de forma significativa las cirugías (p=0.029) e ingresos (p=0.008) en 2021 respecto a la etapa prepandemia. Conclusiones: Durante el confinamiento, objetivamos en nuestro centro hospitalario una disminución del número de pacientes, manteniendo una proporción similar de ingresos y cirugías. Durante el mismo periodo en 2021 hubo una reducción significativa de los ingresos, su duración y de las cirugías. Los motivos de consulta que se redujeron significativamente fueron los traumatismos de cabeza y cuello en 2020 y las quemaduras en 2021 y se redujeron de forma no significativa las consultas urgentes en fin de semana durante el confinamiento.

Background and objective: Social distancing measures and lockdown accomplished during first months of COVID-19 pandemic have had an impact on the healthcare burden of emergency departments. The aim of this study is to examine the effect this situation had in volume and management of plastic surgery patients in the emergency departments during the lockdown and a year after.Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who needed Plastic Surgery consultation in the ED at the A Coruña Universitary Hospital, Spain, between March and June of 2019, 2020 and 2021 was performed. Results: 1511 patients were urgently evaluated between March and June of 2019, 2020 and 2021: 552 in 2019, 446 in 2020 and 513 in 2021.The mean age during lockdown was superior (p=0.018). No difference was found in relation to sex. Facial (p=0.047) and upper limb (p=0.175) trauma consults decreased during lockdown, and burn patients decreased in the same period in 2021 (p<0.001). Admissions (p=0.008) and urgent surgeries (p=0.029) decreased significantly in 2021 in relation to before pandemic. Conclusions: During lockdown, we observed a decrease in the number of patients in our hospital center, maintaining a similar proportion of admissions and surgeries. During the same period in 2021, there was a significant reduction in admissions, their duration and surgeries. The reasons for consultation that decreased significantly were head and neck injuries in 2020 and burns in 2021, and urgent consultations on weekends during confinement were reduced in a non-significant way.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVO: La fractura de huesos nasales es la fractura facial más frecuente. En relación a la cirugía, la técnica habitualmente empleada ante ella es la reducción cerrada bajo anestesia local o general. Presentamos nuestra experiencia en pacientes intervenidos de fractura de huesos nasales y valoramos el riesgo de reintervención en relación al tipo de técnica anestésica empleada. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Recopilamos datos de manera retrospectiva de pacientes intervenidos de reducción cerrada de fractura nasal en nuestro centro entre diciembre de 2014 y junio de 2019. Estudiamos la variable cualitativa analizada (la reintervención) con el test exacto de Fisher y las variables cuantitativas analizadas (días desde el traumatismo hasta cirugía y grados de desviación nasal) con el test U de Mann-Whitney. RESULTADOS: Incluimos 128 pacientes (91 hombres y 37 mujeres). La causa de fractura más frecuente fue la agresión, seguida por el traumatismo por caída y los deportes. Las fracturas por agresión se produjeron con mayor frecuencia los sábados y domingos entre las 3 y las 5 horas de la madrugada. Las fracturas por caída los lunes y martes a la 1 del mediodía. En 99 casos la cirugía se llevó a cabo en las primeras 24 horas, y en 29 pasado ese tiempo. Con respecto a la técnica anestésica, 9 pacientes fueron intervenidos bajo anestesia local, 24 bajo sedación y 95 bajo anestesia general. Tres de los intervenidos con anestesia local y 4 con anestesia general precisaron reintervención por mal resultado tras la primera cirugía. Ninguno de los pacientes intervenidos con sedación fue reintervenido. CONCLUSIONES: En nuestra experiencia, la reducción de la fractura nasal bajo sedación tiene buenos resultados, por lo que consideramos que es una buena alternativa en los casos de fractura nasal quirúrgica para reducir los efectos adversos de la anestesia general


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nasal bone fracture is the most frequent facial fracture. In relation to surgery, the most frequently employed technique is closed reduction under local or under general anesthesia. We present our experience with patients who underwent nasal bone fracture surgery and the risk of reintervention in relation to the type of anesthetic technique used. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively of patients who underwent closed reduction of nasal fracture in our center between December 2014 and June 2019. Qualitative variable analyzed (reintervention) were studied with Fisher's exact test and the quantitative variables analyzed (days from trauma to surgery and degrees of nasal deviation) with the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-eight patients (91 men and 37 women) were included in the study. The most frequent cause of fracture was aggression, followed by falls and sports. Aggression fractures occurred most frequently on Saturdays and Sundays between 3 and 5 a.m. Fall fractures occurred most frequently on Mondays and Tuesdays at 1 p.m. In 99 cases the surgery was performed in the first 24 hours, while in 29 cases it was performed after that time. Regarding the anesthetic technique, 9 patients were operated under local anesthesia, 24 under sedation and 95 under general anesthesia. Three of the patients operated with local anesthesia and 4 with general anesthesia required reoperation because of poor results after the first surgery. None of the patients operated with sedation were reoperated. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, nasal fracture reduction under sedation has good results making it a good alternative in cases of surgical nasal fracture reducing the deleterious effects of general anesthesia

ABSTRACT

The treatment of burns is one of the earliest medical activities on record, probably because of the powerful impact of their physical consequences among other sequelae. The aim of the present paper is to perform an epidemiological study of burn patients. The data were obtained by reviewing the medical histories of all those patients admitted or treated in the Outpatients Department of the Burn Unit of our hospital between 2013 and 2017. A sample was gathered of 1401 patients, made up of 716 males (51.11%) and 685 females (48.89%), in a ratio of males to females of 1.05, with a mean age of 40.74 years old. The burns were mainly suffered in a domestic setting (60.96%), mostly as a result of contact with hot liquids. Most of the burns were second degree superficial burns (60.03%), and affected a mean total body surface area (TBSA) of 4.61%. They were most often produced on the hands. It was found that the frequency of burns increased during the summer and during the main mealtimes of the day. These data may be used to make specific plans of prevention, and as a basis for new studies and databases to be made.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio es comparar de manera retrospectiva aquellas pacientes en las se emplearon lipoinjertos para su reconstrucción mamaria con aquellas en las que no. Materiales y métodos: Fueron incluidas 104 pacientes sometidas a cirugía oncológica y reconstructiva tras cáncer de mama entre enero de 2012 y diciembre de 2016. El estudio se centra en las complicaciones y recurrencias de la enfermedad. Resultados: En 25 de estas 104 pacientes se emplearon lipoinjertos para su reconstrucción, mientras que en las restantes 79 no se empleó esta técnica. Tras la cirugía de lipofilling, 3 pacientes presentaron complicaciones; en un caso consistió en un hematoma posquirúrgico y en los otros dos casos en la aparición de un nódulo, evidenciando la presencia de necrosis grasa en uno y recidiva tumoral en el otro. Hubo un caso de recidiva locorregional en cada uno de los grupos. En cuanto a las metástasis a distancia, no hubo ningún caso en el grupo de lipofilling, mientras que hubo 6 casos en el grupo control. Conclusiones: El lipofilling como opción reconstructiva tras cáncer de mama parece una técnica con una baja tasa de complicaciones. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar otros estudios que confirmen su seguridad oncológica


Objectives: The objective of this study was to retrospectively compare patients whose breast reconstruction surgery included fat grafts with those whose reconstruction did not. Material and methods: A total of 104 patients undergoing oncological and reconstructive surgery after breast cancer between January 2012 and December 2016 were included. The study focused on the complications and recurrences of the disease. Results: Fat grafts were used in the reconstructive surgery of 25 of the 104 patients, and not in the remaining 79 patients. After lipofilling surgery, 3 patients developed complications, consisting of a post-surgical hematoma in 1 patient and the appearance of a nodule in 2, showing the presence of fat necrosis in one and tumour relapse in the other. There was one case of locoregional recurrence in each of the groups. There were no cases of distant metastases in the lipofilling group, while there were 6 cases in the control group. Conclusions: Lipofilling as a reconstructive option after breast cancer seems to have a low complication rate. However, more studies are needed to confirm its oncological safety
