ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Selecting the right technique for lower limb soft tissue reconstruction is a therapeutic challenge. Despite having several reconstruction options, it's important to choose a technique that is effective and with the least possible donor site morbidity. OBJECTIVE: Demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of the medial tab flap in soft tissue reconstruction on the leg, compared to conventional flaps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cohort study matched by age. 64 patients with soft tissue defects were selected and according to the intervention divided in: group 1)medial tab flap, and group 2)conventional flaps (sural, soleus, gastrocnemius) followed up to one year postoperatively. OUTCOME VARIABLES: surgical time in minutes, healing, healing time in days, complications. RESULTS: The patients who underwent surgery with medial tab flap and with conventional flaps healed completely. The healing time was 16.2±11.2 days in the tab flap and 16.1±11.2 days in conventional flaps, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups (P=.89). The surgical time for tab flaps was 225.2±117.8minutes, and 191.3±117.2minutes for the comparison flaps (P=.65), there were no statistically significant differences. There were no complications in the medial tab flaps. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that the medial tab flap technique is as effective as the conventional flap technique, with complete flap survival and healing, and without any major complications in this studied group.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a systemic condition potentially related to an increased risk of progression of various infections such as chronic osteomyelitis by accelerating the inflammatory process with bone tissue necrosis and suppuration. Therefore, if there is no proper management of these infections, they can be life-threatening as they spread to deeper spaces in the head and neck. We describe the case of a 52-year-old male patient with a history of diabetes mellitus and grade III osteoarthritis who was diagnosed with chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the mandible. He underwent a multidisciplinary surgical intervention in which he underwent a hemimandibulectomy with immediate mandibular reconstruction. The present case highlights the importance of early and radical treatment of patients with chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the mandible and systemic comorbidities. In addition, this case presents a review of diabetes mellitus and the risk of developing odontogenic infections and complications when invading deeper spaces in the head and neck. Therefore, in this population, careful planning is required for early surgical and pharmacological treatment.


Resumen La diabetes mellitus es una condición sistémica potencialmente relacionada con un mayor riesgo de progresión de diversas infecciones como la osteomielitis crónica al acelerar el proceso inflamatorio con necrosis del tejido óseo y supuración. Por lo tanto, si no hay un manejo adecuado de estas infecciones pueden ser potencialmente mortales al llegar a propagarse a espacios más profundos de la cabeza y cuello. Describimos el caso de un paciente varón de 52 años con antecedentes de diabetes mellitus y osteoartrosis grado III a quien se le diagnosticó de osteomielitis crónica supurativa mandibular. Se le realizó una intervención quirúrgica multidisciplinaria en la cual se le realizó una hemimandibulectomía con reconstrucción mandibular inmediata. El presente caso destaca la importancia del tratamiento temprano y radical de los pacientes con osteomielitis mandibular crónica supurativa y comorbilidades sistémicas. Además, en este caso se presenta una revisión sobre la diabetes mellitus y el riesgo de desarrollar infecciones odontogénicas y complicaciones al invadir espacios más profundos de la cabeza y cuello. Por lo tanto, en esta población se requiere de una planificación cuidadosa para realizar un tratamiento quirúrgico y farmacológico temprano.

ABSTRACT

La región orbitaria representa una unidad estética funcional muy importante en la región facial. Se presenta un trabajo retrospectivo de un período de 20 años (2000-2020) de actividad pública-privada en el tratamiento de patología tumoral y traumática de la región orbitaria. Analizamos en 580 casos operados, 184 oncológicos y 396 traumáticos, diferentes aspectos comunes que intervienen en el tratamiento reconstructivo de la región: abordajes, técnicas quirúrgicas, consideraciones anatomofuncionales, principios básicos en cirugía maxilofacial orbitaria y complicaciones, resaltando la importancia del manejo correcto de los tejidos regionales en su reconstrucción. La mejor posibilidad para el paciente de lograr un buen resultado es con una operación primaria correcta. Sus complicaciones son de difícil tratamiento


The orbital region represents a very important functional aesthetic unit in the facial region. A retrospective study of a 20-year period (2000- 2020) of public-private activity in the treatment of tumor and traumatic pathology of the orbital region is presented. We analyzed in 580 operated cases, 184 oncological and 396 traumatic, different common aspects involved in the reconstructive treatment of the region: approaches, surgical techniques, anatomofunctional considerations, basic principles in orbital maxillofacial surgery and complications, highlighting the importance of the correct management of regional tissues in their reconstruction. The best possibility for the patient to achieve a good result is with a correct primary operation. Its complications are difficult to treat

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relation between the coronary calcium score and the posterior choice of kilovoltage according to radiologists' criteria in a standard coronary CT angiography protocol to rule out coronary disease. To quantify the reduction in ionizing radiation after linking kilovoltage to patients' body mass index in a low-dose protocol with iterative model reconstruction. To evaluate the image quality and diagnostic performance of the low-dose protocol. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We compared anthropometric characteristics, calcium score, kilovoltage levels, size-specific dose estimates (SSDE), and the dose-length product (DLP) between a group of 50 patients who were prospectively recruited to undergo coronary CT angiography with a low-dose protocol and a historical group of 50 patients who underwent coronary CT angiography with the standard protocol. We correlated these parameters, the number of coronary segments that could not be evaluated with and without temporal padding, the attenuation, and the signal-to-noise ratio in the ascending aorta in the low-dose protocol with excellent imaging quality according to a semiquantitative scale. To calculate the diagnostic performance per patient, we used 24-month clinical follow-up including all tests as the gold standard. RESULTS: In the standard protocol, the presence of coronary calcium correlated with the selection of high kilovoltage (p = 0.02); this correlation was not found in the low-dose protocol (p = 0.47). Median values of SSDE and DLP were significantly (p < 0.001) lower and less dispersed in the low-dose protocol [9.22 mGy (IQR 7.84-12.1 mGy) vs. 26.5 mGy (IQR 21.3-36.3 mGy) in the standard protocol] and [97 mGy cm (IQR 78-134 mGy cm) vs. 253 mGy cm (IQR 216-404 mGy cm) in the standard protocol], respectively. The overall quality of the images obtained with the low-dose protocol was considered good or excellent in 96% of the studies. The parameters associated with image quality in a multivariable model (C statistic = 0.792) were heart rate (estimated coefficient, -0,12 [95% confidence interval: -0.2, -0.04]; p < 0.01) and the SSDE (estimated coefficient, -0,26 [95% confidence interval: -0.51, -0.01]; p < 0.05). The CAD-RADS modifier for a not fully evaluable or diagnostic study was used on two occasions (4%); the final measures for the diagnosis of coronary disease were sensitivity 100%, specificity 94%, and efficacy 94%. CONCLUSIONS: In the standard protocol, the radiologist selects higher kilovoltage for CT angiography studies for patients whose previous calcium score indicates the presence of coronary calcium. In the low-dose protocol, linking kilovoltage with body mass index enables the dose of radiation to be reduced by 65% while obtaining excellent or good image quality in 96% of studies and excellent diagnostic performance.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Valorar la relación entre el score de calcio coronario y la elección posterior del kilovoltaje según el criterio del radiólogo en un protocolo estándar (PE) de angio-TC coronaria (aTCC) para descartar enfermedad coronaria. Cuantificar la reducción de la radiación ionizante después de vincular el kilovoltaje al índice de masa corporal en un protocolo de baja dosis (PBD) con reconstrucción iterativa de modelado. Valorar la calidad de imagen y el rendimiento diagnóstico del PBD. Material y método: Las características antropométricas, el score de calcio, los niveles de kilovoltaje y los valores de dosis estimada específica para el tamaño (SSDE) y del producto dosis-longitud fueron comparados entre un grupo de 50 pacientes con PBD reclutados prospectivamente y una cohorte histórica adquirida con el PE. Estos parámetros, el número de segmentos coronarios no valorables sin y con tolerancia de fase, la atenuación y la relación señal-ruido en la aorta ascendente en el PBD fueron correlacionados con una calidad de imagen de nivel excelente según una escala semicuantitativa. El rendimiento diagnóstico por paciente fue calculado usando la revaloración clínica a los 24 meses como el método diagnóstico de referencia, incluyendo las pruebas derivadas. Resultados: En el PE existía una relación entre la presencia de calcio coronario y la elección de kilovoltajes altos (p=0,02), que desaparecía en el PBD (p=0,47). Los valores de SSDE y de DLP en el PBD fueron significativamente inferiores y presentaron menor dispersión que en el PE (9,22 mGy [RIQ 7,84-12,1 mGy] y 97 mGy*cm [RIQ 78-134 mGy*cm] contra 26,5 mGy [RIQ 21,3-36,3 mGy] y 253 mGy*cm [RIQ 216-404 mGy*cm]; p <0,001 para las comparaciones de las medianas y de las dispersiones entre ambos grupos)...(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Se realizó un metaanálisis para evaluar los resultados clínico-funcionales de la cirugía de ligamento cruzado anterior en militares, así como las complicaciones asociadas a la misma. Material y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en las 3 principales fuentes de bases de datos hasta diciembre de 2022 (PubMed, Google Scholar y ScienceDirect) en cuanto a los resultados tras la cirugía de ligamento cruzado anterior en personal militar. La revisión sistemática se realizó siguiendo las normas Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses –PRISMA–, y los criterios de inclusión siguieron la estrategia PICO. Los datos de los estudios incluidos se analizaron mediante el software Review Manager 5.4. Resultados: Se seleccionaron un total de 7 estudios retrospectivos. La tasa general de retorno a la actividad completa en el personal militar fue del 62,3% (61,5% para el grupo de no oficiales frente a 68,3% para el grupo de oficiales), sin ser esta diferencia significativa (p=0,92). La tasa general de lesión meniscal en los militares fue del 58,8%, sin ser esta diferencia significativa (p=0,88). La homogeneidad en ambos casos fue buena (I2=0%, p=0,99). Conclusión: El regreso a la actividad militar completa puede usarse en la población militar como un marcador de éxito después de una reconstrucción de ligamento cruzado anterior. Hay que destacar que una gran cantidad de militares experimentan limitaciones permanentes en la actividad que impiden el regreso completo al servicio.(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Bone defects are one of the main limitations in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. For this reason, multiple bone replacement systems have been developed, either by prosthetic implant or by substitution with osteoforming substances, whose limitations are their survival and lack of structurality, respectively. The objective of this work is the generation of a new material for the creation of biologically active structures that have sufficient tensile strength to maintain the structure during remodelling. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A new filament based on the fusion of natural polylactide acid (PLA) powder was designed for the generation of pieces by means of fused deposition modelling (FDM) on which to carry out tensile mechanical tests of osteosynthesis material. A total of 13 groups with different cortical thickness, filling and layer height were carried out, with 10 tensile tests in each group, defining the tensile breaking limit for each group. The regression lines for each group and their mechanical resistance to traction on the filament used were determined. RESULTS: The filament ratio per contact surface unit with the osteosynthesis used was the main determinant of the mechanical resistance to traction, either at the expense of the increase in cortical thickness or by the increase in the percentage of cancellous bone filling. Layer height had a minor effect on tensile strength. The regression value was high for cortical thickness and cancellous filling, being elements with a predictable biomechanical behaviour. CONCLUSIONS: The new methodology allows the creation of personalised neutral and implantable PLA bone matrices for the reconstruction of large bone defects by means of 3D printing by FDM with a mechanical resistance to traction greater than that of current biological support structures.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the social and clinical factors that predict audiometric outcomes in patients undergoing ossicular chain reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective analytical cohort study was conducted, including patients 18 years of age or older with a history of chronic otitis media (COM) and/or any of its complications, who underwent ossicular chain reconstruction with Partial Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis (PORP) or Total Ossicular Replacement Prosthesis (TORP), at Hospital San José and Hospital infantile Universitario de San José between 2012 and 2020. We excluded patients with ossicular chain malformations and those with incomplete information. Information about sociodemographic and clinical factors was collected. Additionally, the surgery findings information was analyzed using the Ossiculoplasty outcome parameter staging ( OOPS) index. Results: A total of 35 adult patients who underwent ossicular chain reconstruction were retrospectively studied. An improvement was evidenced in the Preoperative Pure-Tone Average (PTA) and postoperative PTA (p-value=0.036), as well as in the pre and postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) (p-value < 0.01). A moderate correlation coefficient was found between the OOPS index and the postoperative PTA (p= 0.429), and between the OOPS index and the postoperative (ABG) (p= 0.653). Conclusion: We found that a higher OOPS score is correlated with worse hearing outcomes postoperatively, and there was no association between the demographic or pathologic factors with a worse postoperative hearing outcome. Therefore, OOPS index can predict audiometric outcomes in patients undergoing ossicular chain reconstruction in a developing country, regardless of the demographic or pathologic factors.


Objetivo: Evaluar los factores sociales y clínicos que predicen los desenlaces audiométricos en pacientes llevados a reconstrucción de cadena osicular en un país envía de desarrollo. Métodos: Se realizo un estudio de cohorte analítico retrospectivo donde se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años, con antecedente de otitis media crónica y/o alguna complicación/secuela de esta, que fueron llevados a reconstrucción de la cadena osicular con prótesis PORP - TORP de la Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud entre el año 2012 y 2020, se excluyeron pacientes con malformaciones de la cadena osicular y aquellos con informacion incompleta de su historia clinica y quirurgica. Resultados: La población estudiada fue 35 pacientes, en los cuales se compararon variables demográficas, antecedentes de rinitis o tabaquismo activo, parámetros audiológicos pre y postoperatorios, y hallazgos intraquirurgicos. Se evidenció una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre el promedio tonal auditivo (PTA) preoperatorio y el PTA postoperatorio (p-valor=0.036), así como en el gap aéreo- oseo pre y post operatorio ( p-valor < 0.01). Se reportó un coeficiente de correlación moderado entre el índice OOPS y el PTA post operatorio (p = 0.429), y entre el índice OOPS y el gap aéreo óseo post operatorio (p = 0.653), lo que indica que a mayor puntaje en el índice OOPS peores desenlaces auditivos. Conclusión: En este estudio un mayor puntaje en el índice OOPS se correlacionó con peores desenlaces auditivos. No se evidenció correlación entre los factores demográficos u otras comorbilidades descritas y un peor desenlace auditivo post operatorio. Aunque se obtuvo un GAO postoperatorio ≤20dB en el 48.5% de los pacientes, se observó una disminución en el GAO estadísticamente significativo.

ABSTRACT

Los defectos periorbitarios independientemente de su causa, suelen relacionarse con los servicios médicos oftalmológicos; sin embargo, en ocasiones requieren de la intervención del cirujano plástico. La pérdida de un globo ocular tiene repercusiones funcionales, estéticas y psicológicas en las personas que la sufren. Puede exponer asimetrías de los tejidos subyacentes más profundos que mejoran con el lipoinjerto al devolver los contornos de los tejidos blandos alrededor del ojo. El objetivo de presentar esta serie de casos es mostrar la utilidad del lipoinjerto autólogo asistido con células madre del tejido adiposo como complemento de la reconstrucción de la órbita. Se presentan tres casos que acudieron al servicio de Cirugía Plástica del Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Hermanos Ameijeiras remitidas desde el servicio de Cirugía Plástica Ocular del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer por atrofia de la grasa periorbitaria por cirugía de cavidades anoftálmicas. Se verificó que cumplieran con los criterios de selección de pacientes para cirugía plástica y se citaron para tratamiento quirúrgico con técnica de lipotransferencia asistida con células madre. La lipotransferencia asistida con células madre derivadas del tejido adiposo constituye un complemento terapéutico seguro y necesario para obtener mejores resultados estéticos en la reconstrucción de la órbita. El éxito final está en lograr una buena apariencia de los párpados, con la capacidad para retener una prótesis ocular que permita el crecimiento adecuado del hueso facial y mejorar el aspecto estético(AU)


Periorbital defects, regardless of their etiology, are usually related to ophthalmologic medical services; however, sometimes they require the intervention of the plastic surgeon. The loss of an eyeball has functional, aesthetic and psychological repercussions in those who suffer it. It can expose deeper underlying tissue asymmetries that improve with lipografting by restoring the soft tissue contours around the eye. The purpose of presenting this case series is to show the utility of autologous adipose tissue stem cell-assisted lipograft as an adjunct to orbital reconstruction. Three cases are presented that came to the Plastic Surgery Service of the Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Hermanos Ameijeiras referred from the Ocular Plastic Surgery Service of the Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer for atrophy of the periorbital fat due to surgery of anophthalmic cavities. It was verified that they met the criteria for selection of patients for plastic surgery and they were scheduled for surgical treatment with stem cell-assisted lipotransfer technique. Stem cell assisted lipotransfer is a safe and necessary therapeutic complement to obtain better aesthetic results in the reconstruction of the orbit. The ultimate success lies in achieving a good appearance of the eyelids, with the ability to retain an ocular prosthesis that allows adequate growth of the facial bone and improve the aesthetic appearance(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Antecedentes: la reconstrucción mamaria inmediata prepectoral con implantes es la incorporación técnica más reciente al arsenal de reconstrucción mamaria. Esta técnica proporciona un aspecto más natural a la reconstrucción, elimina complicaciones, como la deformidad por animación, y disminuye el dolor posoperatorio. Objetivo: describir los resultados quirúrgicos en una serie de pacientes con reconstrucción mamaria inmediata prepectoral con implantes de silicona. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo; fueron revisadas las historias clínicas y los informes de anatomía patológica de pacientes operadas con la técnica descripta entre marzo de 2018 y diciembre de 2021, por carcinoma invasor, no invasor y sarcoma de mama. Todas fueron evaluadas en el preoperatorio con mamografía digital y presentaban más de 2 cm de cobertura grasa en la mama intervenida. Resultados: se registraron 52 reconstrucciones en 40 pacientes. El promedio de edad fue de 52 años (rango 30-76). En todas se realizó mastectomía con preservación del complejo aréolapezón. Con un promedio de seguimiento de 40 meses, no se registraron complicaciones mayores. No se encontró animación, desplazamiento ni rotación del implante. Se observó contractura capsular grados III y IV después del año de seguimiento en 3 pacientes que realizaron radioterapia posoperatoria. Los resultados estéticos fueron excelentes y buenos en 40 mamas (80,0%), regulares en 8 mamas (12,0%) e insuficientes en 4 mamas (8,0%). Se necesitó revisión quirúrgica posoperatoria inmediata por hematoma en 4 mamas (7,7%). Conclusiones: la reconstrucción inmediata con implantes prepectorales posmastectomía fue una técnica segura y con alto porcentaje de satisfacción.


ABSTRACT Background: Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction has recently been added to the armamentarium for breast reconstruction. This technique provides natural-looking breasts, avoids complications, such as animation deformity, and reduces postoperative pain. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the surgical outcomes in a series of patients undergoing immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction with silicone implants. Material and methods: A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out with review of the medical records and pathology reports of patients who underwent surgery using the described technique for invasive carcinoma, non-invasive carcinoma, and sarcoma of the breast from March 2018 to December 2021. All the patients were evaluated preoperatively with digital mammography and had fat coverage thickness in the operated breast > 2 cm. Results: A total of 52 reconstructions were performed on 40 patients. Mean age was 52 age (range 30- 76). The nipple sparing mastectomy was undertaken in all the cases. There were no major complications during the 40-month average follow-up. None of the patients experienced animation deformity, implant displacement, or rotation. After one year of follow-up, three patients who underwent postmastectomy radiotherapy showed grades III and IV capsular contracture. The aesthetic results were excellent and good in 40 breasts (80.0%), fair in 8 breasts (12.0%) and insufficient in 4 breasts (8.0%). Four breasts (7.7%) required surgical revision in the immediate postoperative period. Conclusions: Immediate prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction is a feasible technique with enduring results and high level of satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos La escala de Deauville (DS) en la tomografía de emisión de positrones (PET) con [18F]fludeoxiglucosa ([18F]FDG) es un método semicuantitativo único para la evaluación del linfoma. Sin embargo, el tipo de algoritmo de reconstrucción empleado para el cálculo de los valores de captación estándar (max, medio y pico) podría afectar a la DS. Comparamos el algoritmo de reconstrucción de probabilidad penalizada bayesiano (BPL) con el de maximización de expectativas de subconjuntos ordenados (OSEM) respecto a los parámetros cuantitativos y en la DS en el linfoma. Investigamos el efecto del tamaño del ganglio linfático sobre la variación cuantitativa. Métodos Se reconstruyeron por separado los resultados de la PET sin procesar de 255 pacientes con linfoma utilizando la aplicación Q.Clear (General Electric Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, EE. UU.), un algoritmo BPL, y la aplicación SharpIR (General Electric Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, EE. UU.), un algoritmo OSEM. En ambas imágenes, para cada paciente, se valoró hígado, el pool sanguíneo mediastínico y los valores de captación estándar (SUV) (SUVmáx, SUVmedio y SUVpico) de un total de 487 lesiones seleccionadas. Se compararon DSmáx, DSmedio y DSpico. Resultados En nuestro estudio hubo un aumento significativo de la DS con el BPL (p<0,001) que pasó a una puntuación de 4 a 5 en 30 pacientes inicialmente catalogados como 1-2-3 mediante el algoritmo OSEM. Se observó que los valores cuantitativos de los ganglios linfáticos aumentaban de forma estadísticamente significativa con el BPL (p<0,001), mientras que la disminución de los valores de hígado fue notable respecto a las regiones de referencia (p<0,001). Además, la diferencia en los ganglios linfáticos se asoció de forma independiente con el tamaño de la lesión y fue considerablemente más pronunciada en las lesiones de pequeño tamaño (p<0,001) (AU)


Introduction and Objectives 18F-FDG PET with the Deauville score (DS) is a unique semiquantitative method for lymphoma. However, type of standard uptake values (max, mean, and peak) reconstruction algorithms could affect DS. We compared the Bayesian Penalized Likelihood reconstruction algorithm (BPL) with Ordered Subsets Expectation Maximization (OSEM) on quantitative parameters and DS in lymphoma. We investigated the effect of the size of the lymph node on quantitative variation. Patients and Methods Raw PET data of 255 lymphoma patients were reconstructed separately with Q.Clear (GE Healthcare), a BPL, and SharpIR (GE Healthcare), an OSEM algorithm. In both images, each patient's liver, mediastinal blood pool, and SUVs (SUVmax, SUVmean, and SUVpeak) of a total of 487 lesions selected from the patients were performed. DSmax, DSmean, and DSpeak were compared. Results In our study, DS increased significantly with BPL (p<0.001), and the DS increased to 4-5 in 30 patients evaluated as 1-2-3 with OSEM. It was found that the quantitative values of the lymph nodes increased statistically with BPL (p<0.001), and the liver from the reference regions were significantly decreased (p<0.001). In addition, difference in lymph node was independently associated with size of lesion and was significantly more pronounced in small lesions (p<0.001). The effects of BPL algorithm were more pronounced in SUVmax than in SUVmean and SUVpeak. DS-mean and DS-peak scores were less changed by BPL than DS-max. Conclusion Different reconstruction algorithms in FDG PET/CT affect the quantitative evaluation. That variation may affect the change in DS in lymphoma patients, thus affecting patient management (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to present our experience with the vertical musculocutaneous trapezius (VMCT) flap and highlight its utility in the thoracic wall reconstruction in patients with bronchopleural fistula (BPF). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present a five case series of patients with long-standing cavities and BPF. The VMCT flap was used, and a direct pathway into the defect was made through a separate posterior thoracotomy shortening the distance between the flap and the defect. RESULTS: In 80% of the cases, the flap succeeded in solving the fistula and filling the defect, quality of life improved, and the need for oxygen decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Management of open window thoracostomy is challenging. Debridement, thoracoplasty, and flap coverage are the mainstream of their treatment, but these patients have scarce available muscle. The VMCT flap represents the major non-affected musculocutaneous unit in the thoracic area after lung surgery. Its dermal component offers a rigid matrix to form a seal over the bronchial stump. Its muscular component adds a good amount of vascularized tissue. No functional impairment has been described after its use.


OBJETIVO: Exponer nuestra experiencia con el colgajo vertical de trapecio y destacar su utilidad en la reconstrucción de la pared torácica en pacientes con fístulas broncopleurales. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Presentamos una serie de cinco pacientes con cavidades y fístulas broncopleurales de larga evolución. Utilizamos el colgajo musculocutáneo vertical de Trapecio, con un redireccionamiento del mismo a través de una ventana costal que permite acortar la distancia entre el colgajo y el defecto. RESULTADOS: La fístula y el defecto fueron solucionados en el 80% de los casos. La calidad de vida mejoró y las necesidades de oxígeno disminuyeron. CONCLUSIONES: El manejo de las toracotomías es un reto. El desbridamiento, toracoplastia y cobertura con colgajo son los pilares de su tratamiento, pero estos pacientes tienen escasa disponibilidad muscular. El colgajo musculocutáneo vertical de Trapecio representa la mayor unidad intacta musculocutánea en el tórax tras cirugía pulmonar. Su componente dérmico ofrece una matriz rígida para sellar el muñón bronquial, su componente muscular añade una gran cantidad de tejido vascularizado. No se han descrito déficits funcionales tras su uso.

ABSTRACT

La mastectomía total por cáncer de mama produce una deformidad importante en las pacientes, con alteraciones severas de su autoestima, imagen corporal, sexualidad, y calidad de vida en general. El gold estándar en los países desarrollados es la reconstrucción mamaria inmediata y, actualmente existen pocas contraindicaciones absolutas para realizar alguna técnica de reconstrucción. Este artículo se describen las opciones reconstructivas (colgajos e implantes), tiempos de reconstrucción, ventajas y desventajas de ambas técnicas, potenciales complicaciones, y se propone un algoritmo de tratamiento. La elección de la técnica de reconstrucción debería ser decidida entre la paciente y su cirujano/a, considerando características físicas, factores relacionados con la enfermedad y tratamiento oncológico, y preferencias de las pacientes.


Total mastectomy for breast cancer treatment can be a cause of deformity and distress for patients, with severe impairment of self-esteem, body image, sexuality, and quality of life. In developing countries, immediate breast reconstruction is the gold standard, and there are only a few absolut contraindications for some technique of breast reconstruction. This article describes reconstructive options (flaps and allo-plastic material), reconstructive timing, pros and cons of both techniques, potential complications, and an algorithm of treatment is proposed. Choice of the reconstructive technique should be decided by the patient and her surgeon, considering physical characteristics, factors related with the disease and oncologic treatments, and patients' preferences.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Aortic valve (AV) replacement is the gold standard treatment for severe symptomatic AV disease. Recently, AV reconstruction surgery (Ozaki procedure) emerges as a surgical alternative with good results in the medium term. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients who underwent AV reconstruction surgery between January 2018 and June 2020 in a national reference center in Lima, Peru. The median age was 62 years, interquartile range (IQR: 42-68). The main indication for surgery was AV stenosis (62.2%), in most cases due to bicuspid valve (19 patients, 51.4%). Twenty-two (59.4%) patients had another pathology with surgical indication associated to AV disease, 8 (21.6%) had dilatation of the ascending aorta with indication for replacement. Results: One in-hospital death occurred (1/38, 2.7%) due to perioperative myocardial infarction. There was a significant reduction in the medians of the peak (70 mmHg, CI 95% = 50.03-79.86 vs. 14 mmHg, CI 95% = 11.93-17.5, p < 0.0001) and mean (45.5 mmHg CI 95% = 30.6-49.68 vs. 7 mmHg, CI 95% = 5.93-9.6, p < 0.0001) AV gradients when we compared baseline characteristics with first 30-days results. In an average of 19 (± 8.9) months of follow-up, survival, reoperation-free survival for valve dysfunction, and survival free of AV insufficiency ≥ II were 97.3%, 100% and 91.9%, respectively. Significant reduction in the medians of the peak and mean AV gradients was maintained. Conclusions: AV reconstruction surgery showed optimal results in term of mortality, reoperation-free survival, and hemodynamic characteristics of the neo-AV.


Resumen Introducción: El reemplazo de la válvula aórtica es el tratamiento de elección para la valvulopatía aórtica severa sintomática. Recientemente, la cirugía de reconstrucción valvular aórtica (procedimiento de Ozaki) emerge como una alternativa quirúrgica con buenos resultados a mediano plazo. Métodos: Analizamos retrospectivamente 37 pacientes intervenidos de reconstrucción de válvula aórtica entre enero de 2018 y junio de 2020 en un centro de referencia nacional en Lima, Perú. La mediana de edad fue de 62 años (rango intercuartílico: 42-68). La estenosis de la válvula fue la principal indicación de cirugía (62.2%), en la mayoría de los casos por válvula bicúspide (19 pacientes, 51.4%). 22 (59.4%) pacientes presentaban otra patología con indicación de cirugía, 8 (21.6%) presentaban dilatación de la aorta ascendente con indicación de reemplazo. Resultados: La mortalidad intrahospitalaria fue de 1/38, 2.7%, por infarto de miocardio perioperatorio. Hubo una reducción significativa en las medianas del gradiente máximo (70 mmHg, IC 95% = 50.03-79.86 vs. 14 mmHg, IC 95% = 11.93-17.5, p < 0.0001) y gradiente medio (45.5 mmHg IC 95% = 30.6-49.68 vs. 7 mmHg, IC 95% = 5.93-9.6, p < 0.0001) de la válvula aórtica cuando comparamos las características basales con los resultados de los primeros 30 días. En una media de 19 (± 8.9) meses de seguimiento la sobrevida fue del 97.3%; la sobrevida libre de reoperación por disfunción valvular, 100% y la sobrevida libre de insuficiencia aórtica ≥ II, 91.9%, respectivamente. Se mantuvo una reducción significativa en las medianas de los gradientes máximo y medio de la válvula aórtica. Conclusiones: La cirugía de reconstrucción de válvula aórtica con pericardio autólogo mostró resultados óptimos en términos de mortalidad, supervivencia libre de reoperación y características hemodinámicas de la neo-válvula.

ABSTRACT

El queratoquiste es un quiste odontogénico en el cual se describen diferentes opciones terapéuticas tanto conservadores como agresivas, con diferentes tasas de éxito y recidivas. Dependiendo del tratamiento, las técnicas más agresivas presentan mejores resultados, pero involucran un mayor defecto óseo en la zona tratada versus las técnicas conservadoras. El propósito de este reporte de caso es documentar una técnica quirúrgica utilizada en un paciente masculino de 17 años que, tras un tratamiento descompresivo de 8 meses, fue sometido a cirugía con enucleación de la lesión remanente más curetaje mecánico perilesional y uso de solución de Carnoy no modificada, preservando la cortical ósea vestibular mandibular tratada con solución de Carnoy no modificada y reposicionando este segmento óseo mediante osteosíntesis. Se realizó seguimiento clínico e imagenológico postoperatorio de 1 año verificando la remisión del quiste y la neoformación ósea en la zona intervenida. El uso de esta alternativa terapéutica permite evitar el colapso de los tejidos blandos en el defecto óseo subyacente y aportar tejido óseo autógeno tratado que permite una funcionalidad de tramado óseo al cual pueden migrar los elementos celulares para aportar en la regeneración tisular local.


The keratocyst is an odontogenic cyst in which different conservative and aggressive therapeutic options are described, with different success rates and recurrences. Depending on the treatment, the most aggressive techniques present better results but involve a more significant bone defect in the treated area compared to conservative techniques. The purpose of this case report is to document a surgical technique used in a 17-year-old male patient who underwent surgery after eight months of decompressive treatment with enucleation of the remaining lesion plus perilesional mechanical curettage and use of Carnoy's solution unmodified, preserving the mandibular vestibular bone cortex treated with unmodified Carnoy's solution and repositioning this bone segment by osteosynthesis. A one-year postoperative clinical and imaging follow-up was carried out, verifying the remission of the cyst and the new bone formation in the operated area. This therapeutic alternative makes possible to avoid the collapse of the soft tissues in the underlying bone defect and provide treated autogenous bone tissue that allows a bone mesh functionality to which the cellular elements can migrate to contribute to local tissue regeneration.
