RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Laser therapy is a treatment for infantile haemangiomas. The efficacy of laser therapy for red lesions is determined by visual evaluation; however, this assessment is inaccurate and lacks objectivity. OBJECTIVE: To scientifically validate the consistency between pre- and post-treatment visual assessment grades for infantile haemangioma treated with pulsed dye laser (PDL) and the values calculated from images obtained with Antera 3D™. METHODS: This study involved 81 cases of infantile haemangiomas treated with PDL alone from 2012 to 2015 and with Antera 3D™ images of the lesions. Using images obtained before treatment and 4-6 weeks after the last treatment, the lesions were rated using a visual four-step scale. Ratings were categorised as Poor/Fair/Good/Excellent by the degree of improvement in the red colour tone. The red colour ratio was calculated using the haemoglobin distribution in the lesion and surrounding skin, and the improvement difference and improvement rate were then obtained. The correlation between the improvement difference and improvement rate, and visual evaluation was statistically analysed. RESULTS: No serious adverse effects were observed, with an average of 4.3 treatments per patient; 60.1% of the patients achieved Good/Excellent results. There were statistically significant differences in the post-treatment red colour ratio and improvement ratio in each category after visual evaluation classification. The improvement rate and the four visual grades were statistically correlated. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed the scientific validity of visual evaluation and the evaluation criteria calculated from Antera 3D™. This method could objectively determine treatment effectiveness.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The management of intractable leg ulcers requires a team approach which includes vascular surgeons and plastic surgeons. We retrospectively reviewed the results of the management of intractable leg ulcers by plastic surgeons. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 73 patients with intractable leg ulcers, (79 limbs) were treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery at our institution. Skin perfusion pressure (SPP) around the ulcer on the limb was measured before and after arterial reconstructive procedures. Local ulcer management involved intra-wound continuous negative pressure and irrigation therapy or negative pressure wound therapy. We examined the rates of wound healing and associated prognostic factors. RESULTS: There were 21 limbs without ischemia (non-peripheral arterial disease [Non-PAD] group) and 58 limbs with ischemia (PAD group). The healing rates were 66% in the PAD group and 81% in the Non-PAD group, but the difference between the groups was not significant. A total of 41 limbs in the PAD group underwent revascularization, which involved bypass surgery in 18 limbs and endovascular therapy in 23 limbs. The salvage rate of the revascularized limbs was 83% at 1 year. The primary patency rates at 1 year were 87% for bypass surgery and 58% for endovascular therapy. The healing rate of the revascularized limbs was 66%, and the presence of concomitant hemodialysis, infected ulcers, and limbs without improved SPP were shown to be poor prognostic factors. Limbs treated with bypass surgery had a better healing rate than limbs treated with endovascular therapy, but the difference was not significant. CONCLUSION: Good ulcer-healing rates were achieved by effective revascularization and aggressive local management. These results suggest that a team approach is useful for the management of intractable leg ulcers. (English translation of Jpn J Vasc Surg 2011; 20: 913-920).

RESUMO

In adult cases of bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity, an esthetically satisfying result can not be obtained only by manipulation inside the nose with the nasal tip pointing upward. The nasal tip should be made in a more anterior direction for nasal esthetic improvement. Additional tissue beyond the nose is needed, and the forked flap is a useful method in such cases. However, the blood circulation of long and narrow flaps containing the scar, especially after open rhinoplasty, is unstable. We have developed a new long and narrow forked flap that has a more stable blood circulation. The forked flap was made using two subcutaneous pedicles attached to the periphery of the each flap. We applied this flap to five adult cases of bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. Four of the cases had the scar associated with the flying bird incision, and one case required no treatment after the primary repair. All the flaps took without signs of partial necrosis. In all cases, the nasal tip was projected forward with adequate columella elongation, and the profile was esthetically improved. In the final stage of correction for adult cases of bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity, this method, making maximum use of the tissue containing the scar in not only the white lip but also the vermilion, is very effective. It is very important to obtain nasal esthetic improvement for the adult patient with bilateral cleft lip nasal deformity.
