The Use of Split-Thickness Skin Grafts on Diabetic Foot Ulcerations: A Literature Review
Diabetic foot ulcerations are historically difficult to treat despite advanced
therapeutic modalities. There are numerous modalities described in the literature ranging
from noninvasive topical wound care to more invasive surgical procedures such as
primary closure, skin flaps, and skin grafting. While skin grafting provides faster time to
closure with a single treatment compared to traditional topical wound treatments, the
potential risks of donor site morbidity and poor wound healing unique to the diabetic
state have been cited as a contraindication to its widespread use. In order to garner
clarity on this issue, a literature review was undertaken on the use of split-thickness skin
grafts on diabetic foot ulcers. Search of electronic databases yielded four studies that
reported split-thi...

Secret Scar Free Gracilis Flap
We present a modified technique that relies on a single horizontal thigh-lift-type approach, which (1) gives wide pedicle exposure, (2) provides material for skin grafting, and (3) allows for distal flap transection without an additional incision. Eighteen gracilis free flaps were performed from 2007 to 2009 for lower extremity reconstruction. Complete flap survival was observed in 17 patients with one partial necrosis distally. Our approach allowed access to divide the distal gracilis tendon without a second incision in all cases. The mean scar length was 16 ± 3 cm and no hypertrophic scars were observed. In 15 patients, no visible scar was observed in the upright position, and in three patients, the scar was visible dorsally (2 ± 1 cm). No sensory deficits were observed 6 months postop...MedWorm Sponsor Message: Have a look at these scrub hats - a design for for every medical professional. blue sky scrubs are pleased to offer the finest medical apparel products in the world.

How Should We Investigate Breast Implant Rupture?
Abstract: We aimed to examine a cohort of patients presenting with breast implant complications to establish the sensitivity and specificity of clinical examination, Ultrasound Scanning (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of implant rupture, and to examine the correlation between US and MRI. We performed a 26‐month retrospective review. Patients underwent US and MRI to exclude rupture. Results of US and MRI were compared prospectively for concordance, then retrospectively to clinical findings and surgical diagnosis. Thirty‐four patients with 60 implants were reviewed. The sensitivities of clinical diagnosis, US, and MRI for rupture was 42%, 50%, and 83%, respectively, while the specificities were 50%, 90%, and 90%. The concordance between US and MRI was 87%. M...

Changes in the Facial Skeleton With Aging: Implications and Clinical Applications in Facial Rejuvenation
Abstract In principle, to achieve the most natural and harmonious rejuvenation of the face, all changes that result from the aging
process should be corrected. Traditionally, soft tissue lifting and redraping have constituted the cornerstone of most facial
rejuvenation procedures. Changes in the facial skeleton that occur with aging and their impact on facial appearance have not
been well appreciated. Accordingly, failure to address changes in the skeletal foundation of the face may limit the potential
benefit of any rejuvenation procedure. Correction of the skeletal framework is increasingly viewed as the new frontier in
facial rejuvenation. It currently is clear that certain areas of the facial skeleton undergo resorption with aging. Areas
with a strong predisposition to...

Charles‐Pierre Denonvilliers (1808–1872): Renowned anatomist, plastic surgeon, and influential member of French Society
AbstractCharles‐Pierre Denonvilliers was one of the most influential and prolific French anatomists and surgeons of the 19th century. Born in Paris and educated at the Paris Faculty of Medicine in 1826, he steadily created a reputation for himself in the field of medicine. Starting in 1833, Denonvilliers lectured with exquisite clarity and scientific accuracy in surgery and anatomy. Not only did he make a name for himself in this arena but also as an anatomist of high caliber based on his anatomical dissections and presentations. These talents and skills afforded Denonvilliers the opportunity to acquire different other titles and positions throughout his career. His reputation as a plastic surgeon, anatomist, and lecturer coupled with his status and influence made his sudden death in 187...MedWorm Sponsor Message: Have a look at these scrub hats - a design for for every medical professional. blue sky scrubs are pleased to offer the finest medical apparel products in the world.

External auditory canal reconstruction following subtotal auricular resection with a tragal lobule wrap flap
We present a case of an 85-year-old man who underwent auricular ablation due to squamous
cell carcinoma which included the external auditory canal. Sparing the tragal and lobular areas within the surgical margins
using frozen section-controlled margins, we were able to reconstruct the canal wall. The tragal lobular wrap flap provides
a valuable and consistent long-lasting method for auricular canal reconstruction and postauricular amputation wound coverage.

Dual-Sided Polytetrafluoroethylene mesh in Immediate Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction following Treatment of Severe Fibrocystic Mastopathy
Abstract Breast reconstruction is well established, with various options, and every effort should be employed in order to recreate
a natural breast symmetry while preserving safety and quality of life for patients. In recent years, immediate breast reconstruction,
using either prostheses or autogenous tissue, has gained wider acceptance. Whenever possible, immediate breast reconstruction
should be recommended, allowing that the reconstruction is made at the time of mastectomy under the same anesthesia. This
technical evolution allows better preservation of the skin and pectoral muscles, reducing the feeling of mutilation and emphasizing
the indication of immediate reconstruction. In this work, the authors present a clinical case of breast reconstruction of
a 35-year-old pa...

Frequently, there is associated derangement of nasal airway patency. Although the true incidence of rhinophyma and its exact etiology remain unknown, it is widely believed to represent the final stage in a continuum of acne rosacea. Medical therapy has not been effective in reversing the disease process, and surgery remains the most accepted method of treating rhinophyma. A wide variety of surgical techniques have been developed and modified over the years in an effort to treat this disorder safely and without significant sequelae.

Creating Elegance and Refinement at the Nasal Tip
Facial plast Surg 2012; 28: 166-170DOI: 10.1055/s-0032-1309295Enhancing nasal tip definition requires a three-dimensional approach encompassing both form and function. Dome refinements achieved during surgery should be created with sufficient integrity to withstand postoperative healing forces. Stabilizing the nasal base is the first component of dome alterations and prevents loss of tip rotation and projection. Structural grafting can be used to enhance tip definition and at the same time adds support to the cartilaginous framework. Tip shield grafts camouflage dome asymmetries, establish the tip-defining point, and enhance the supratip break. Shield grafts can be placed in all skin types with appropriate contouring and camouflaging techniques.[...]Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Av...

Complications Found in Asian Tip Surgery
Facial plast Surg 2012; 28: 238-242DOI: 10.1055/s-0032-1309305Controlling the nasal tip in terms of definition, projection, and rotation requires a firm platform for subsequent scar contracture, healing, and skin thinning. Complications from tip surgery are diverse and range from symmetry, unnatural appearance, graft problems (migration, infection, extrusion), and issues with function. Implants are a large part of untoward results at the tip, and this article will focus on common complications that arise. In general, substantial projection should be pursued with a caudal extension graft rather than simple columellar strut. Compressive forces at the tip are formidable and the caudal septum, or simpler suture techniques, will often not hold up. Cap grafts and tip grafts that are used for pro...

Investigation of photoplethysmographic signals and blood oxygen saturation values on healthy volunteers during cuff-induced hypoperfusion using a multimode PPG/SpO2 sensor
Abstract Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a technique widely used to monitor volumetric blood changes induced by cardiac pulsations. Pulse
oximetry uses the technique of PPG to estimate arterial oxygen saturation values (
SpO2
). In poorly perfused tissues,
SpO2
readings may be compromised due to the poor quality of the PPG signals. A multimode finger PPG probe that operates simultaneously
in reflectance, transmittance and a combined mode called “transreflectance” was developed, in an effort to improve the quality
of the PPG signals in states of hypoperfusion. Experiments on 20 volunteers were conducted to evaluate the performance of
the multimode PPG sensor and compare the results with a commercial transmittance pulse oximeter. A brachial blood pressure
cuff was used ...

Analysis of attitudes toward the source of progenitor cells in tissue‐engineered products for use in burns compared with other disease states
In this study, 279 patients attending plastic surgery/burns outpatient and medical outpatient clinics were questioned to assess willingness to accept a tissue‐engineered skin product derived from a variety of sources. Levels of acceptance for the use of progenitor cells derived from these sources for treatment across a range of disease states (burns, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and for cosmetic use) were also assessed. Overall, 80% of those questioned would accept a tissue‐engineered product. Autologous cells were the preferred choice of cells (acute burns 94%, diabetes 95%, Parkinson's 93.9%). Allogeneic cells were still widely accepted (acute burns 67%, diabetes 66.7%, Parkinson's 69.2%). There was no difference observed between plastic surgical patients and medical patients in ac...
