The Role of Alternative Medicine in Rhinology

Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 03:45:32 +0100

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) includes treatments from traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, naturopathy, herbal medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, mind-body medicine, chiropractic or osteopathic manipulations, and massage. More than 40% of patients in the United States use CAM, with 17% of CAM use related to otolaryngology diagnoses, but nearly half of CAM users do not communicate their use of these medications to their physicians. Perioperative risk of bleeding is a particular concern in surgical specialties, and knowledge of these therapies and their potential adverse effects is critical.

Immediate cell-supplemented lipotransfer (iCSL)

European Journal of Plastic Surgery — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 06:51:22 +0100

Abstract Studies have shown that adipose-derived stem cells may improve neovascularization, graft take, and much more. Many strategies have been developed in the last years to isolate and take advantage of these cells for different applications in many specialties. Immediate cell-supplemented lipotransfer (iCSL) is a reproducible and immediate approach that consists in isolating a great number of stem cells from the harvested fat and injecting the suspension with processed adipose tissue as a scaffold in the same procedure, in a short time and cost-effective manner. In this article, the authors present iCSL throughout its processing method, its advantages and current applications in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and its potential applications in all fields of regener...

The Alar-Spanning Suture: A Useful Tool in Rhinoplasty to Refine the Nasal Tip [Surgical Technique]

Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 05:00:00 +0100

The alar-spanning suture is a surgical technique used by an experienced rhinoplastic surgeon to address certain nasal tip deformities. Wide nasal tip deformities with strong, convex lower lateral cartilages are best indicated for treatment with this technique. The alar-spanning suture can improve lateral crural position and eliminate dead space by refining and narrowing the supratip, often without requiring extensive dissection or additional strut grafting. We use operative photographs and an intraoperative video to demonstrate the alar-spanning suture technique, which is a useful addition to the armamentarium of any rhinoplastic surgeon.

Rhytidoplasty Without Periauricular Scar

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:48:27 +0100

Abstract As plastic surgeons, it has always been our goal to reduce the scarring associated with facial plastic surgeries. These scars generally occur on the scalp and in both the pre- and retroauricular areas. In 194 of our patients who underwent rhytidoplasties, we successfully eliminated these retroauricular and preauricular scars. To achieve these results, we did not make periauricular incisions; instead, we made a superior incision, a subcutaneous dissection, and used various surgical maneuvers such as subdermal plication and structural grafting. By utilizing this facelift technique, we were able to eliminate the appearance of periauricular scars associated with facial plastic surgery, reduce complications, achieve natural-looking results, and increase patient satisfa...

Pre- and Probiotics for Human Skin

Clinics in Plastic Surgery — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 03:45:22 +0100

Current research on the complex interplay between the microbiota, the barrier function and the innate immune system of the skin indicates that the skin's microbiota have a beneficial role, much like that of the gut microflora. As a consequence, interest in strategies beyond antibiotica that allow a more selective modulation of the skin microflora is constantly growing. This review will briefly summarize our current understanding of the cutaneous microbiota and summarize existing information on pre- and probiotic strategies for skin.

A novel distraction technique to facilitate daycase paediatric surgery under local anaesthesia

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 05:00:00 +0100

With increasing demands on plastic surgery services within the NHS currently, theatre utilisation statistics and efficiency are being highlighted in an effort to maximise throughput and reduce waiting lists. Elective paediatric lists in our hospital are infrequently available and therefore it can be logistically challenging to perform paediatric cases during school holidays. Together with risks of anaesthesia and availability of specialist anaesthetists and ODPs these factors add to theatre delays and inefficiencies in theatre utilisation and often time is lost due to such non-surgical factors. We put forward a novel, patient-friendly and effective means of achieving good anaesthesia, maximising theatre time through use of local anaesthesia (faster turn-around time vs. general anaesthesia)...

The year in burns 2010

Burns : Journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 01:47:52 +0100

This article reviews those with the most impact on burn treatment according to the Editor of one of the major journals (Burns) and his colleagues. As in previous reviews, articles were divided into the following topic areas: epidemiology, demographics of injury, wound characterisation and treatment, critical care, inhalation injury, infection, metabolism and nutrition, psychological considerations, pain and itching management, rehabilitation and long-term outcomes, and burn reconstruction. Each paper is considered very briefly, and the reader is referred to full manuscripts for details. (Source: Burns : Journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries)

Orbicularis Muscle Position During Lower Blepharoplasty With Fat Repositioning [Original Article]

Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 05:00:00 +0100

Conclusions The orbicularis oculi muscle fusion to the maxilla below the arcus marginalis defines the junction between the eyelid and the cheek, and it provides an anchor for the tear trough. The eyelid-cheek interface is significantly elevated with our surgical technique of fat repositioning in the supraperiosteal plane. Elevation of the orbicularis muscle edge may contribute to improved blepharoplasty results in treating the aging midface. (Source: Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery)
