RESUMO

A 66-year-old woman had a recurrent desmoid tumor in the right thoracic apex. The tumor infiltrated the brachial plexus and eventually rendered the upper right extremity functionless. The tumor was removed by aggressive wide resection of the right upper hemithorax with simultaneous amputation of the functionless right arm. Reconstruction of the chest wall was accomplished, utilizing the soft tissues of the remnant arm as a pedicled flap to cover the full-thickness defect. Aggressive wide resection of the chest wall with limb amputation is technically challenging but unavoidable in some cases of recurrent desmoid tumor.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The epicanthal fold, which is peculiar to East Asians, forms an arch across the medial canthus in parallel with the nose. It is often accompanied by entropion of the medial eyelid. Although many surgical procedures have been described for correction of the epicanthal fold, none has reported a procedure to treat the epicanthal fold and entropion at the same time. The authors have performed a modified split V-W plasty to simultaneously correct entropion and to modify the epicanthal fold. METHODS: From January of 1998 to December of 2002, we have performed a modified split V-W plasty in 20 cases. The preoperative and postoperative medial canthal distances and palpebral fissure width were measured, and the extent of postoperative scarring and improvement of the epicanthal fold and entropion were reviewed. RESULTS: This method provided good results, including an inconspicuous scar, release of the epicanthal fold, and improvement of entropion. CONCLUSION: The authors believe that the modified split V-W plasty is available to eliminate entropion with an epicanthal fold in Asian eyelids.

RESUMO

We treated a patient with postlobectomy persistent alveolar fistula using a tissue expander, which is a prosthesis widely used in plastic surgery. The patient had thoracic empyema develop after right bilobectomy for lung cancer, and consequently underwent drainage of empyema followed by muscle flap closure for alveolar fistula. A residual space remained, and air leak persisted. However, implanting and expanding a tissue expander enabled us to tightly fix the flap on the raw pulmonary surface, which eventually solved the air leak. The tissue expander greatly contributed to muscle flap closure for a persistent alveolar-pleural fistula with a large remaining thoracic space.

RESUMO

Restoration of oral and nasal function together with facial appearance is still challenging in maxillary reconstruction. Use of a composite flap transfer merely to fill the defect results in unsatisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. The authors present a reconstructive procedure for complex maxillary defects using the latissimus dorsi-scapular rib osteomusculocutaneous flap. Some modifications for the reconstruction of the nasal cavity and the hard palate contributed to excellent postoperative functions. Five cases of extended maxillary defect were reconstructed using a novel procedure between February of 1997 and October of 2000. The hard palate was reconstructed with a vascularized scapular angle. The infraorbital rim was reconstructed with a vascularized rib if it was required. A prop bone graft, replacing the zygomatic buttress, was added between the infraorbital rim and the hard palate. The latissimus dorsi muscle flap, which was supported by a skeletal framework and obliterated the remaining cavities around the bone grafts, was left exposed into the nasal cavity, and an 8-French (no. 10) nasal airway tube was placed as a stent in the nasal meatus for 3 weeks after surgery. A skin graft was applied on the scapular angle to reconstruct the oral side of the hard palate. If required, facial skin defect was repaired with a latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap or scapular flap. No major complications at the recipient or the donor sites occurred postoperatively in any of the five cases. In cases in which the eyeballs were preserved, almost normal facial appearance was obtained and an orbital extirpation case showed an acceptable postoperative appearance. All five patients returned to an unrestricted diet and their speech was assessed as normal by a speech test. Nasal breathing through the re-epithelialized meatus was possible in all cases. The reconstructed nasal cavity was maintained for more than 6 months in all cases and for more than 2 years in one early case. Rhinometry demonstrated normal function, and histologic findings of the re-epithelialized mucosa over the muscle flap in the nasal cavity revealed a nearly normal architecture. This technique simplifies the reconstructive procedure of massive maxillary defects, including those in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity. It also improves the postoperative oral and nasal functions of the patients.
