Authors describe a new technique using prefabricated flap associated with collagen substitute. This technique is illustrated by a scar contracture removal on a young child located on the dorsum of the hand and wrist using a pedicle axial flap and a collagen substitute. Neo-collagen prefabricated flap is a new sophisticated surgical technique regarding the flap technique due to the possibility to create by patient cells themselves neo-fashioned flaps much more adapted to the recipient site and decreasing sequels on the donor site.

To date, 60% of patients no longer have this prosthesis in place, but 16% of patients with this specific breast implant had already been remove before March 2010. Eighteen percent of implants had an abnormality and three had a rupture. In this retrospective study we also found that the care of our patients could be improved, including the legibility of the monitoring and in the administrative field.

The purpose of this review was to identify and analyze all reported cases of ALCL occurring in patients with breast implants. Therefore, we reviewed all articles published concerning this subject between 1991 and 2011. We found 41 cases of ALCL. The mean age of the patients was 51 years old with an average of 108 months between the implantation and the diagnosis. Over 60 % of the reported cases were aesthetic augmentations. However, none of the published study managed to highlight a correlation between the prosthesis and this lymphoma. Therefore, we believe that for the moment, we can ...

The removal of all cutaneous nasal unit and its analysis has diagnosed the presence of three basal cell carcinomas and two in situ squamous cell carcinomas. Reconstruction was performed by full-thickness skin graft. The literature reports a few cases of association between rhinophyma and skin cancers but none ever reported the simultaneous presence of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinomas. The low number of articles does not reveal statistically significant relationship between rhinophyma and skin cancer, which would consider the rhinophyma as a risk factor. Monitoring of these patients should be as rigorous as possible and surgical care requires histologic analysis not to omit the presence of c...

Real cutaneous crop in pronounced forms, may be felt with difficulty by patients, which leads them to consult. The proposal of a conventional face-lift is not always suitable or accepted by a predominantly male population. Therefore, an anterior medial cervicoplasty with elliptical excision of excess skin and a medial platysmaplasty will be an interesting alternative. The authors offer a new description of this technique by simplifying, compared to the previously described techniques. Two clinical cases are reported, with both types of recommended incisions. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The results obtained by this te...

It generally affects young adults. However, in rare but not exceptional cases, children can suffer from this disease. In the literature, there are only few studies on this pathology occurring in children. The main treatment is surgical excision with large margins. We studied in our series 15 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma in children between 1995 and 2008. The data were retrospectively collected. The aim of our study is to underline the best support for this pathology in children. The mean age at the moment of diagnosis was 13years old.

The depth of the injury determines the severity of functional and aesthetic sequelae. Local care prevents the infection, factor of deepening of the burn. Currently the dressing used in most Burns centers is a bandage covering a bacterial product applied to the burn. The advantage of this dressing is to prevent the occurrence of local infection. In contrast, open-air method of treatment is based on the notions that the wound is infected. His purpose is to reduce the effects of infection by creating an unfavourable environment to the growth and multiplication of bacteria. The principle of this method is the formation over the burned area of an ...

Among them, authors have described bony erosion and resorption. The case presented here illustrates an unusual case of maxillary bone erosion after silastic malar augmentation. Implants were surgically removed and no more surgical intervention was performed. After 15 months, contrast-enhanced CT scan has showed nearly complete bony regrowth to an almost normal state. Considering resorption phenomenons following silastic chin implants, Peled et al. reported no long-term sequellae after implant removal and bony regrowth to the presurgical state after 9 months. Accordingly, we conclude that these phenomenons, even spectacular, are always rev...

The deep carbonisation and the very extensive burn patient with severe functional sequelae where the standard reconstructive procedures are inefficient might be eligible for a facial allotransplant program.

New technologies like negative pressure treatment and skin substitute have certainly decreased the indication of free flaps. The authors with their experience combined to a review of the literature, try to clarify these indications for each anatomical location. From a technical point of view, they find that realizing a free flap for these patients is more complicated (venous damage, lack of donor site who has been burned…). Despite this, microsurgery must still belong in the decision tree and there are some irreplaceable indication specially for hand reconstruction. PMID: 21963437 [P...

Specifically, 24 needles were arranged into two circles on a polystyrene block representing a "double clock". A specific scorecard for this exercise was made to evaluate the students. In total, between November 2010 and June 2011, fifteen residents followed the university degree in microsurgery provided by the faculty of medicine Henri Warembourg (Lille, France).

Indeed, the evolution of burn scars is particular compared to the scarring process in general. The expert needs to know these specific aspects in order to objectively assess the after-effects due to burns, in order to compensate for the loss of autonomy in major burn victims. The assessment has to analyze all the effects, functional and aesthetic, of the after-effects due to burns and has to particularly specify: the mending, which can never be set before one year, the pressure test allowing to check the complete maturation of the scars; the functional disability which results from skin retractions (due to after-effects) on the limb...

This peninsular flap is based on the anastomotic network between the posterior auricular and the superficial temporal artery. The authors report their experience about 24 clinical cases. Most of the cases were partial auricular amputations for squamous cell carcinoma. The surgical procedure allows a hidden cartilaginous donor site, the concha, allowing in a single operation a color- and texture-matched reconstruction. This flap represents an alternative to more complex surgical procedures, and can easily be realised under local anaesthesia. PMID: 21684056 [Pub...

They are especially difficult to study because of confusion in the terminology used. The classification developed by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) in 1996 allows using a common scientific language. There are two groups of lesions: vascular tumor and vascular malformation. The management of these anomalies is difficult and must involve an interdisciplinary approach including specialists in plastic surgery, radiology, pediatry and dermatology. We propose a simplified approach for the management of these pathologies. This approach is coming from the experience of Marseille (France) multidisciplinary team. ...

For plastic surgery the right to advice has also become jurisprudence. This right obliges the surgeon to take an active part in his patient's decision. The medical contract is obsolete since the law of 4th march 2002. Thus medical staffs are only responsible if they are in fault. On the other hand the legal obligation to establish an estimate before operating and to give a withdrawal date constitutes a real consumer's contract between the surgeon and his patient. Maybe this is the reason why the right to advice, which is common practice in commercial or service contracts, is now also important for the plastic surgeon.

Born in Asia, it is from that same continent that the last improvement has occurred through the perforator flap concept. Combining advances in the understanding of cutaneous blood supply and advances in surgical instrumentation to optimize the reconstruction while reducing morbidity is gradually becoming a reality. Twenty years after the first perforator flap described by Koshima and Soeda, the authors review the history, the concept and nomenclature of these flaps.

The scar of the donor site is easily hidden by underwear. The flap's skin has good quality, without hair, and the antifibrotic effect of the fat permits a good tendinous sliding. Compared to the pedicled groin flap, this free technique enables the reconstruction of the lower limbs, while upper limbs are free, without weaning time. The functional and aesthetic result of the reconstruction is good and we think that for a microsurgical team, this reliable flap should be more chosen for the posttraumatic reconstruction of limbs.

LLL plasty allowed a first closure in all patients. The cosmetic result was good and no recovery was necessary. LL plasty was first described in 1962 to cover limited skin defects. However, it requires some precision in its execution. This is a simple and reproducible procedure with considerable interest for its potential in the coverage of cutaneous defects in the face and that can reach up than 8cm. The scar would be reduced if we took care to match the areas of sutures with the shaded areas of the face (groove…).

The intravascular stenting method allows fast learning of the technique with a satisfactory success rate despite non-specific instrumentation. Furthermore, this method could easily be integrated among the microsurgical courses of many universities.

Analysis of the results of the fundamental literature on the effects of adipose tissue in breast cancer development is troubling. At this stage, these results can not be transposed to humans as there are no studies showing a clinical correlation with suspected factors. It is difficult today to propose a pragmatic attitude on the transfer fat tissue into the breast. Given the results of the literature, we believe that the recommendations of caution of various sci...

The coverage of this kind of lesion has some limitations because of regional minimal blood supply and paucity of local soft-tissue flaps. The perforator pedicled propeller (PPP) method tries to find a new place in lower leg reconstruction in bringing similar tissues at the recipient site and avoiding long and difficult free flap transfer or muscular sacrifice. The authors report on the use of PPP method for a tibial crest exposure after trauma and for a soft tissue defect with osteomyelitis on the tibial crest.

It results from an abnormal development of the mammary base, mainly at the lower pole of the breast. The superficialis fascia is adherent to the dermis and deep plane. For type II and III of Grolleau's classification, we were confronted by some difficulties with inferior areolar approach as in Puckett's or Ribeiro's techniques. We had frequently an insufficient glandular volume at the inferior part of the breast and an early look of a "double bubble" deformity. We propose a technical modification to these procedures using a superior hemiareolar approach to place the implant. Associated with an incision of the deep part of the superficia...

It was born 2000 years ago in India, evolving from random flaps to microsurgical flaps with a skeletonised vascular pedicle. This evolution was possible through the knowledge of cutaneous vascularisation and allows today the spreading field of perforator flaps. Writing the story of any particular flap is, in fact, looking back to understand the global concept and evolution of flaps surgery. Therefore the authors detail every step of the development and technical improvement of the thoracodorsal flap from the classical musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap to one of its latest achievement, the tho...

The use of the septo-cutaneous branch between the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles lengthens the pedicle and reduces the surgery time by facilitating the dissection. SGAP is therefore another autologous technique for breast reconstruction with low morbidity, when a DIEP flap cannot be harvested.

At the contrary, plication gives a joining, under permanent tension of fat lobules against fat lobules, friable tissue, so not reliable. This lifting is light because the skin undermining is virtual at the end of the process. It is efficient because the SMAS elevation is effortless. It is safe because the undermining is done in zone free of motor nervous branches (no paresia on over 2000 cases). I...

In this article, the authors outline the most essential innovations as the invention of inflatable mammary implants by H.-G. Arion or fat remodeling surgery revolutionized with liposuction by Y.-G. Illouz. The authors end with a field, which is undergoing rapid changes: excess skin surgery. Before 2000, this surgery was known for its complications: necrosis, prolonged effusions, bad scarring. It was imperative to innovate since demand is exponential as the worldwide spread of obesity and massive weight loss which results from it.

From the first facial allotransplantation, innovation is declined in various ways, which could constitute the different answers regarding the planning and management to prepare such surgery, the realisation of the transplantation and also the multiple developments in terms of science and medicine. It is exactly in that meaning that could be really mentioned the term archetypal.

Many French surgeons deserve to figure in the "Golden Book" of the specialty. From Pierre Franco to Paul Tessier, many famous or sometimes unknown surgeons introduced important innovations. In the XVIth century, Pierre Franco realized the first autoplasty of the face as well as the first suture of a cleft lift. This was modified by Mirault, three centuries later. Delpech created at Montpellier a real "school" dedicated to plastic surgery where there was an attempt to oppose a French technique to the success of surgeons from Berlin.

A surgeon's everyday life, his university cursus and his psychological profile does not prepare him to a very different world, the world of administration, of files, of categories, of laws, of initials, of acronyms. Yes, the surgeon has to deal with this universe if he wants to develop his new concept. The authors relate the great efforts, which are similar sometimes to mythological works, to achieve their aim with a little humour just to survive.

The exploration of the new field, which has modified the boundaries of knowledge, has been evoked by Fernando Ortiz Monasterio, Daniel Marchac, Françoise Firmin and Tony Wolfe. This work defined the human qualities leading to creative breakthrough: (1) rigourous work and passion; (2) withdrawal from the current educative dogmas; (3) maintainance of the excellence of reconstructive and aesthetic practice; (4) progressive complexity of the procedures with concomitant validation by peers; (5) humility and continuous self criticizing maintained in one's own results.

The evolution is spatiotemporal unpredictable with successive inflammatory waves and recurrence of necrosis. The conventional surgical treatment is rarely efficient because each surgical operative act seems to stimulate the inflammatory waves and fibro-necrosis process.

As prodigies of the Age of Enlightenment and the universalisation of Human Rights, French surgeons have successfully exported these inherited values through The Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the creation of nongovernmental organisations recognised worldwide. In addition to the finely acquired medical skills that French surgeons share with other prestigious countries, the "French Touch" appears to be found in their transfer of this knowledge along with their will and commitment to return to the same places as often as possible in order to cultivate local self sustainability.

She refused the standard treatment, cranial osteotomy (forehead reshaping), and desired a less-invasive procedure. We corrected the receding forehead with the help of a tissue (fat) transplant (lipostructure((R))). The midface was lifted in an endoscopic procedure using ISSE APTOS suspensions.

In pre-pubescent grils, skin expanded flaps allow a near-normal mammary gland development. In adult women, they make the envelope that will receive the possible additional volume (breast implant). Alternatives in breast volume reconstruction are lipomodelling and musculo-cutaneous expanded flaps. They are also discussed. Breast reconstruction in post-burns scars give clever cosmetic and morphologic despite of breast shape imperfections and apparent scars persistence.

It would appear to be efficient in burn surgery since it accelerates cicatrisation and avoids the need for a new graft harvesting procedure.
