[Free temporoparietal flap in hand coverage. Report of three cases.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hands defect coverage needs thin and pliable flaps. Few free flaps such as free temporoparietal flap are adequate. It provides moderate donor scar and unique range of motion for tendinous coverage. We expose three cases of hand reconstruction: two dorsal coverage with tendinous exposition and reconstruction and one thumb coverage. The postoperative results were satisfactory concerning hands. One patient developed alopecia and dysesthesis on scalp. We think that this flap is a good alternative for serratus free fascial flap.

DISCUSSION: The stenosing tenosynovitis of the first dorsal extensor compartment of the wrist is a relatively frequent pathology in the young woman. We use a longitudinal surgical approach to avoid the radial nerve lesions. Le Viet procedure using the palmar flap of the pulley fixed to the dermis works as a barrier and maintains the tendons sliding on the radial styloid groove.

[Primary essential cutis verticis gyrata: Case report and literature review.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: CVG can be treated surgically with resection of the thickened excess skin in coronal and sagittal axis. Scalp lift must be effective all over the different areas of the scalp. The scalp flaps must have a reliable vascularisation. Combined incisions of the galea help to treat the residual folds. The excision pattern must be reproductible, as this disease is progressive.

[History of skin graft.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Skin graft is the most common and simple procedure to cover superficial defect. Skin of variable thickness and size is completely detached from its origin (donor site) to cover a defect (recipient site). This simple procedure is the result of a long and eventful technical and theoretical evolvement. The aim of this article is to retrace the history of skin grafting, from its discovery until today.

[Posterior interosseous free flap because of absence of posterior interossous pedicle. A report of an individualised salvage procedure and of an exceptional anatomical variation. Review of the literature.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The posterior interosseous flap on the posterolateral aspect of the forearm is appreciated for its thinness and the length of its vascular pedicle. Arterial supply to the flap comes from the posterior interosseous artery, which gives off several cutaneous branches. This flap is most often used with its distal pedicle as its artery presents anastomoses with the anterior interosseous artery and the dorsal arterial carpal network. However, its dissection is often difficult because of anatomical variants and is not reliable in case of traumatic history at the distal forearm. A case is reported where no posterior interosseo...

A retrospective study was made to assess complications of superior pedicle breast reduction, in the Besançon hospital plastic surgery ward. One hunderd patients operated between 2003 and 2007 were reexamined. In every case, the intervention was performed by the same operator (Pr Tropet) using the same technique. The average postoperation time range was 2 years (from 8 months to 5 years). The interview's minutes were formalized via a revisions sheet, including medical files, photos, and pre- and postoperative measures. Complications (hematoma, infection, necrosis, suture disunion, thromboembolic disease) were repor...

[Is there a relation between mammaplasties incisions and the final shape of the breast?]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Those who promote the vertical incision have the greatest drive to encourage other plastic surgeons to abandon the traditional mutilating boat anchor scar. Nevertheless, they should always remember the deforming effect caused by exaggerated vertical incisions which may be avoided by transforming it into an inverted T with short horizontal branches, a small price to pay to obtain a superior aesthetic result.

It is well known that percutaneous fasciotomy must not be realized at the digital level because of the risks of iatrogenic nervous injury. The purpose of this study is to verify if the percutaneous fasciotomy in the digital level is responsible or not for sensory complication by injury of the collateral nerves, thanks to the precise sensory analysis of a series of twenty five palmodigital or digital fasciotomies. Our series included 20 patients operated on between September 2006 and June 2008, as a total of 25 fingers. Only one patient presented preoperative sensory disorders. It was a multi-operated finger.

Latissimus dorsi flap is the most commonly used among tissues transfers for breast reconstruction. If its qualities and performances are well known, few papers have studied sequellae of this flap, particularly painful. The purpose of this paper is to provide a contribution about this subject. Postulating the complexity of this step, we limited ourselves initially to an evaluation based on analysis of concise questionnaire mailed to two pools of patients with different delays since their reconstruction using latissimus flap. In the two groups of patients, announced principal embarrassment - logically associated with a g...

[Lipofilling and weight gain. Case report and review of the literature.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Since Coleman's studies, lipofilling has become an easy, reliable and reproducible surgical technique particularly in severe Romberg's syndrome that is characterised by a progressive facial hemi-atrophy of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues. Considering a young patient case, the authors expose a rare complication of lipofilling: deterioration of the aesthetic results after a significative weight gain due to corticosteroids, oral contraception and a change of lifestyle. Lipofilling is an adipocyte graft realised after centrifugation of liposuction products. Thus, the increasing volume of the fat graft remains hypertroph...

[Anatomy of the midface.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The middle third of the face comes in three areas: malar, zygomatic and orbital. Its bone's base, essentially formed by the maxilla and the zygoma, shows an orbital edge whose projection is not flat and offers an integration to the arcus marginalis. The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM), wide muscular sheet, is held by several ligamentary structures, one of which is the orbicularis retaining ligament (ORL), peripheric around the orbit and by malar septa. The two layers of fat, one superficial and one deep, are split by the OOM. The deep malar fat pad (or suborbicularis oculi fat pad [SOOF]) is compact with the tracti that...

Functional anatomy indicates the specificities of the most mobile zone of the face. Ageing process analysis, with the help of CT scan and MRI, confirm the validity of the Face recurve((R)) concept: the repetition of the contraction of certain fascicles of the mimic muscles is responsible for the deep fat diminution. For the first time, two fascicles of the orbicularis oculi muscle, malar part, are demonstrated to cause the recession of the inferior orbital rim and of the mid part of the malar bone. Medical and surgical indications are differenciated, depending on the palpebral and midface skin excess. In case of notice...

[Midfacial ageing.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The author comments the studies about midfacial ageing of Lambros as well as those of Rohrich and Pessa. The ageing becomes obvious through the autonomization of all the anatomical subunits of the midface and particularly the appearance of the limits of these areas. It seems that the loss of volume is not global but area-dependant. The modifications of the lid aperture highlights the same process and seams to be induced by both the orbicularis oculi muscle action and the modifications of these lid-tissues. The author proposes practical conclusions to these observations. PMID: 19692166 [PubMed - as supplied by publi...

Many studies showed we have a visceral adipose tissue and a subcutaneous adipose tissue. Roles and risks of these fats are different. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate that there are at least two types of subcutaneous fat; one is "metabolic" and diet sensitive and another genetic which is diet resistant. The distribution of subcutaneous fats is also determined by genetic factors, and its study led to the description of segmental syndromes whose distribution and evolution were studied in women in our environment. It seems that no fundamental studies have been made on these two types of fat. We think there is al...

The author describes a technical simplification of the lenghtening temporalis myoplasty based on the temporal muscle anatomical structure which is featherlike and after having observed the muscle lenghtening in more than 100 lengthening temporalis myoplasty. The major modification consists in avoiding superficial undermining of the anterior part of the temporal muscle. The surgery is easier, quicker and the postoperative care are simplified. The coronoid process is osteotomised throught the nasolabial approach avoiding the zygoma's osteotomy. PMID: 19632753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Annales de Ch...

[Retrospective monocentric comparative evaluation by sifting of vein grafts versus nerve grafts in palmar digital nerves defects. Report of 32 cases.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: For defect loss of no more than 30mm in emergencies, the authors propose to use vein grafting. In other situations, the surgeon must take into account the patient's profile and the hemi-pulp concerned, dominant or non-dominant, before opting for a nerve or a vein graft.

[Diced cartilage wrapped in deep temporal aponeurosis (DC-F): A new technique in augmentation rhinoplasty.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report our experience of 20 patients operated in 2006 and 2007, with one year minimal follow-up. All the cases are relative or absolute saddle noses, idiopathic, post-traumatic or iatrogenic. Moreover, two patients also had a concomitant chin augmentation with DC-F. No case of displacement or resorption was noted. We modified certain technical points in order to make this technique even more powerful and predictable.

[Necrotic angiodermatitis: Evaluation of an early skin graft treatment.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Necrotic angiodermatis is a quite frequent ischemic ulceration found in various skin microvessels diseases. It usually occurs in elderly over 60 years particularly on legs. Lesions are rapidly spreading and very painful, without any response to common pain medicines. We want, through our 21 cases series, to confirm the analgesic effect of early excision and skin grafting.

[The controversies on the orbital septum.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The orbital septum, a well-known structure since a long time ago, is a controversy object anyway. Its physiological, anatomical and pathological importance is undeniable. However, it will be difficult not to consider it as a part of the whole structure which organizes the general system of the soft tissues of the face, in which the orbital frame is one of the pivots.

[The palpebromalar suspension by the use of the orbicularis oculi muscle.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The usual techniques of lower blepharoplasty do not include the treatment of the palpebromalar junction. The various options of vertical facelift of the average third of the face in general require a temporal or temporofrontal approach. The technique of suspension of the orbicularis oculi muscle within the framework of a blepharoplasty of the four eyelids, described by Adamson in the USA and conveyed by Botti in Europe, allows a treatment of the ageing of the eyelids and a vertical rise of the malar area. This muscular suspension ensures a solidity in the fixing of soft tissues, authorizing a cutaneous section higher t...

[Description and critical analysis of the "Tonnard and Verpaele's" technique for malar suspension.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The MACS-lift technique, from Tonnard and Verpaele, is a simple procedure for mediofacial aging. They use three purse-string sutures. The anchor points are within the deep temporal fascia. Sagging facial soft tissues are suspended with this loop. This procedure needs only local anesthesia. The postoperative following is simple. The results are natural and interesting. We analyse this technique and its efficiency in the medial part of the face. PMID: 19446947 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Annales de Chirurgie Plastique et Esthetique)

We report 10 cases of free tissue transfers with a one-stage technique lengthening the vascular pedicle of the free flap with interpositional vein grafts. Taking into consideration the good results and the low rate of morbidity, the authors emphasize the use of this technique rather than a two-stage procedure.
