RESUMO

Immediate lymphatic reconstruction (ILR) is recognized as a surgical approach used to reduce the risk of developing secondary lymphedema, and evidence demonstrating the efficacy of ILR is favorable. Our Lymphatic Center has become a centralized location offering ILR for the risk-reduction in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) in New England. Over the course of our experience, we made several modifications and adapted our approach to enhance the operative success of this procedure. These include advancements in our use of indocyanine green (ICG) imaging to identify baseline lymphatic anatomical variation, utilization of fluorescein isothiocyanate for lymphatic vessel visualization, application of the lymphosome concept to guide arm injection sites, verification of anastomotic patency (using ICG), localization of reconstruction to guide radiation therapy, incorporation of intraoperative tools to facilitate better anatomic visualization of the axilla, and addition of a lower extremity vein graft to mitigate venous-related complications. Collecting information from each surgery in a standardized manner, including intraoperative lymphatic channel measurements, and deploying clips for possible future radiation exposure, enables future studies on ILR patient outcomes. In this contribution, we aimed to share our institutional modifications with the surgical community to facilitate further adoption, conversation, and advancement of ILR for the risk-reduction in BCRL.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Currently, there is limited literature on reconstructive trends for inpatient head and neck skin cancer. Rather, studies have focused primarily on patients treated on an outpatient basis. To gain a better understanding of the effect that reconstructive correction of complex skin cancer defects has on the healthcare system, we examined the existing incidence and reconstructive trends of head and neck melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in the inpatient setting. METHOD: We performed the analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database (NIS) for the years 2012-2014 of the United States (US). Adults diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer or NMSC of the head and neck region were included. Patient characteristics, reconstructive modality, surgical specifics, and outcomes were retrieved. Trends with time for reconstruction techniques were analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 41,185 patients with a diagnosis of skin malignancy were identified, of whom 5,480 (13.3%) underwent reconstruction. Most patients were white (90.0%), male (71.6%), and had a diagnosis of NMSC (79.2%). An increase in flap reconstruction (p < 0.001) was observed. After population adjustment, the highest incidence of skin malignancy was found in the Northeast. CONCLUSION: There has been a trending increase in inpatient NMSC and melanoma skin cancer of the head and neck region, correlating to an increase in the reconstructive procedures performed, and greater cost burden. Resources may be allocated toward early identification and treatment for skin cancer to help control the current rise in complex skin cancer cases necessitating inpatient admission.

RESUMO

Facial defects following Mohs surgery can cause significant functional, cosmetic, and psychologic sequelae. Various techniques for nasal reconstruction after Mohs surgery have been analyzed in the medical literature, yet there has been less attention given to procedures for other crucial facial aesthetic regions. A literature search using PubMed, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science for studies assessing reconstructive techniques of the forehead, cheek, and perioral regions after Mohs surgery was performed. No limitations on date or language were imposed. Studies meeting inclusion criteria consisted of an entirely post-Mohs population, specified technique for aesthetic unit reconstruction, and detailed complications. The initial search yielded 2177 citations. Application of the author's inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in 21 relevant studies. Linear closure was highlighted as the predominant technique when possible in all 3 aesthetic zones. Local flaps remained the workhorse option for cheek and forehead defects. Cheek and perioral reconstruction were associated with higher complication rates. Eighty-one percent of studies did not include patient-reported outcomes or standardized outcome measurement assessments. Mohs surgery has become a valuable approach for treatment of skin malignancies of the face. This review has identified significant study heterogeneity in methodology, design, and outcome assessment. Currently, there is no evidence-based literature to support an algorithm to guide surgeon choice of treatment in these 3 central areas. Recommendations are provided to improve the quality of future studies to better inform appropriate surgical technique for each facial unit analyzed.
