The Submental Fat Compartment of the NeckEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 288-291DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242180ABSTRACTThe anatomic understanding of the superficial compartments of the head and neck are evolving. Recently, studies have shown that the superficial fat is sequestered into separate “compartments”; however, the superficial anatomy of the submental region of the neck has yet to be defined, and improved understanding of this area may lead to advances in our ability to rejuvenate the neck. This cadaveric investigation revealed that there is one superficial fat compartment in the submental region. The anterior boundary of this compartment, p...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 274-282DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242182ABSTRACTThe endoscopic midface lift procedure has evolved from experience with postreduction soft tissue repair after facial fracture fixation. The procedure elevates and repositions midface soft tissue, which descends with facial aging; as well, it can correct periorbital congenital abnormalities, such as exorbitism and lateral canthal displacement. The procedure has been refined by the senior author to employ a temporal endoscopic approach alleviating the need for a lower eyelid incision. The plane is sub-SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 264-273DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1242178ABSTRACTThe contour of the neck is a very important determinant of facial aesthetics. Precise knowledge of neck anatomy is essential for adequate planning and execution of this procedure. There are three anatomic and surgical planes involved in the management of the aging neck; the superficial plane (subcutaneous fat), the intermediate plane (platysma muscles and the fat between the two muscles), and the deep plane (subplatysmal fat, the anterior belly of the digastric muscles, and the submandibular glands). These planes need to be thoroughly evaluated...

Asian RhinoplastyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The objective for Asian rhinoplasty is augmentation rather than reduction in which the dorsum is raised and the nasal tip projection and definition are enhanced. The watchword today is ethnic preservation rather than effacement for the Asian patient. An ethnically sensitive standard for aesthetic rhinoplasty for the Asian nose is proposed. Also, a thorough discussion of cultural issues that can be important when working with the Asian patient is undertaken to guide a surgeon through every phase of patient care. Finally, the technical details are elaborated on both rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty for the Asian nose wit...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 207-214DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1224800ABSTRACTIn the United States, rhinoplasty has traditionally been performed in Caucasian patients. Ethnic rhinoplasty is often thought of as a procedure done to reshape the nose of a black or Asian patient. Little attention has been paid to rhinoplasty in Hispanic patients. There has been a large increase in the Hispanic population of the United States, and plastic surgeons will see a concomitant rise in requests for rhinoplasty among this population. In an effort to increase our understanding of Hispanic rhinoplasty, a retrospective review of a senior ...

Animal Models for the Study of OsteomyelitisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The objective of this review was to provide a literature review of the animal models created to study osteomyelitis. The models were chosen based on historical relevance and clinical applicability. Numerous animal models exist to study both acute and chronic osteomyelitis. Many models have been created that allow investigators to study various aspects in the treatment and diagnosis of osteomyelitis. Based on the needs of investigators, an animal model must be carefully selected for ideal research, as no single model encompasses all aspects of osteomyelitis.[...]© Thieme Medical PublishersGet connected:Table of contents �...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 141-147DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1214166ABSTRACTThe current management for chronic osteomyelitis centers on adequate antibiotic coverage and surgical debridement of nonviable tissue. The eradication of osteomyelitis, however, often involves a prolonged and frustrating course of management. Nonsurgical adjunctive modalities have not been widely used, mostly due to a lack of perceived efficacy, and have remained in a state of infancy. In this article, we will outline the rationale, current status, and evidence for several potential adjuncts to osteomyelitis management.[...]© Thieme Medical Pu...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 108-118DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1214163ABSTRACTReconstruction of large skeletal defects secondary to osteomyelitis remains a challenging problem. Osteomyelitis can result from a variety of etiologies; most often, it is a consequence of trauma to a long bone. Despite advances in antibiotic therapy, treatment of chronic osteomyelitis requires adequate surgical debridement, which can often lead to large soft tissue and bone loss. Free vascularized bone can be used to reconstruct large skeletal defects greater than 6 cm or bone defects of smaller size that failed to heal with nonvascularized bo...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2009; 23: 090-099DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1214161ABSTRACTAppropriately designed antibiotic regimens are critical to the management of all stages of osteomyelitis, although goals of therapy may vary in different stages of infection. The most important consideration for antibiotic selection is spectrum of action. Route of administration by intravenous or oral route is less important than drug levels that are achievable at the site of infection. Outpatient parenteral therapy and use of oral agents has simplified delivery of long-term treatment regimens. There are few high-quality studies that compare sp...

The major aspects of nasal reconstruction are included: lining, support, skin coverage, local nasal flaps, nasolabial flap, and paramedian forehead flap. The controversy of the subunit reconstruction versus defect-only reconstruction is briefly discussed. The authors believe that strictly adhering to one principle or another limits one's options, and the patient will benefit more if one is able to apply a variety of options for each individual...

Combined Massive Allograft and Intramedullary Vascularized Fibula Transfer: The Capanna Technique for Lower-Limb ReconstructionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2008; 22: 234-241DOI: 10.1055/s-2008-1081406ABSTRACTLimb salvage has now replaced amputation as the standard treatment for primary bone tumors and can usually be offered to more than 85% of patients. Recently, a novel approach to limb salvage has been described by Capanna and colleagues whereby a massive bone allograft and intramedullary vascularized fibula are combined to reconstruct large, segmental bone defects. This produces a structurally competent reconstruction with enhanced vascular and osteogenic capabilities and the potential to achieve lower rates of infection, fracture, and nonunion....
