@article{ author = {Ghoraba, Samir M and hussein, wael}, title = {Outcome of Thumb Reconstruction Using the First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery Island Flap}, abstract ={BACKGROUND  Reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects of the thumb, with exposure of tendons, joints or bones, has always been a difficult task. We evaluated the functional and esthetic outcomes of 1st dorsal metacarpal artery island flap in reconstruction of post-traumatic soft tissue defects of the thumb. METHODS Between January 2012 and June 2014, fifteen patients with complex post-traumatic soft tissue thumb defects underwent 1st dorsal metacarpal artery island flap. Sensory function was evaluated with static 2-point discrimination and cortical reorientation. The mobility of the thumb was tested by the Kapandji score. The esthetic outcome was assessed. Patient's subjective satisfaction was evaluated by the visual analogue scale. RESULTS  The mean flap size was 33.3×17.7 mm. All donor sites were grafted by full-thickness skin grafts from the groin. Fourteen flaps survived completely and one had distal flap necrosis was treated conservatively. The mean static two-point discrimination was 10.4 mm. Cortical reorientation was complete in 40%. The average Kapandji score was 7.1. The esthetic outcome was excellent in six, good in eight and poor in one subject. After a mean follow up period of 18.2 months, the mean subjective satisfaction score was 8.1; most patients regained all functions of the thumb and index finger and were pleased with the cosmetic appearance of the flap and donor site. CONCLUSION First dorsal metacarpal artery flap offers a sensate, pliable and versatile coverage for small to moderate sized thumb defects. Moreover, it provides good functional and esthetic outcomes with minimal donor site morbidity.}, Keywords = {Thumb, Soft tissue, Defect, First dorsal metacarpal artery flap, Reconstruction}, volume = {7}, Number = {2}, pages = {151-158}, publisher = {}, url = {http://wjps.ir/article-1-297-en.html}, eprint = {http://wjps.ir/article-1-297-en.pdf}, journal = {World Journal of Plastic Surgery}, issn = {2228-7914}, eissn = {2252-0724}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {FathyOsman, Osman and Emara, Sherif}, title = {Extended Use of Full-Thickness Skin Grafts, Employing Variable Donor Sites}, abstract ={BACKGROUND Full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) is a very versatile tool regularly used in small sizes. With the established knowledge of the graft take through the margins as well as wound bed, we extended the use of the FTSG for reconstruction of large-sized defects with satisfactory results.  METHODS We presented our experience in wound reconstruction using FTSG in 28 patients. We selected cases with graft size equal to or more than 130 cm2. Seven patients had chronic but healthy granulating wounds and 21 patients had fresh raw areas. Sizes of FTSG used varied between 130 to 452 cm2 of outstretched skin at donor sites. We used subgluteal skin crease in most of cases, though groin, upper medial thigh and medial arm aspects were also used. RESULTS  There was no difference in graft take between fresh and chronic wound sites. Almost complete graft take was the rule in all cases apart from mild epidermal skin peeling in four cases and small spots of graft necrosis in three cases. Primary wound healing at donor sites was the rule with scar hypertrophy in six cases necessitating scar conservative care for few months. CONCLUSION Use of FTSG for reconstructing raw areas in acute and chronic wounds has to be safely reconsidered regardless of wound size. It’s still a sound and reliable tool which can decrease the necessity of complex flap coverage. Subgluteal skin crease is relatively a new donor site to be considered for large grafts with primary direct closure. }, Keywords = {Skin graft, Full-thickness, Reconstruction, Donor}, volume = {7}, Number = {2}, pages = {159-165}, publisher = {}, url = {http://wjps.ir/article-1-287-en.html}, eprint = {http://wjps.ir/article-1-287-en.pdf}, journal = {World Journal of Plastic Surgery}, issn = {2228-7914}, eissn = {2252-0724}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {Ramos-Gallardo, Guillermo and Mecott-Rivera, Gabriel Ángel and Limon-Cervantes, R and García-Pérez, M and Rodríguez-Olivares, E}, title = {How to Improve Speaking Skills in Plastic Surgery Training?

Convenient random sampling was used to select the participants. Enriching and Nurturing Relationship Issues Communication and Happiness (ENRICH) marital satisfaction questionnaire and Rogers' Self-concept Inventory were used to collect data. RESULTS The study sample included 44 individuals having facial cosmetic procedures, 51 individuals applying for cosmetic surgery and 55 non-applicants (ordinary people). There were significant differences in terms of marital satisfaction and its components between the cosmetic surgery applicants and surgery group and control group. The cosmetic surgery applicants revealed higher levels of satisfaction in comparison with the surgery and control groups regarding the components’ personality, conflict and leisure. Considering the component marital relationship, the applicant group had higher satisfaction than control group. With regard to the components financial management and relatives and friends, the applicant group had higher satisfaction, in comparison to the control group.

Ethnic variations in soft tissue profile add an important variable to pre-operative facial analysis. The aim of our study was to determine the role of ethnic variations in soft tissue facial profiles through profile analysis of Iranian male and female patients. METHODS Photographs of 100 Iranian males and 100 Iranian females (16 to 40 years old) were carried out. A review committee selected 10 male images and 10 female images, which they believed to be most ideal. The soft tissue profiles were then analyzed. A total of 21 measurements were analyzed and statistically compared with North American Caucasian males and females. RESULTS The upper lip projection and lower lip projection were significantly more prominent in Iranian males as compared with North American Caucasian males. In addition, Iranian males had longer face as compared with North American Caucasian males along with a more drooping nasal tip. The frontonasal area is straighter and the lower face is longer in Iranian females compared with North American Caucasian in addition to more convex faces along with a shorter upper face.

Since verapamil gel reduces the production of these capsules around silicone prosthesis and reduces the formation of collagen in the capsule areas. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of verapamil gel on efficiency of tissue expander device. METHODS Twenty patients were allocated equally into control and case groups based on age, sex, and location of the device. In both groups, the devices were placed in the areas needed and the conditions were identical. During the first operation, the length and width of the flaps and the initial size of prosthesis were determined. In the case group, verapamil gel was used daily, while a hydrogel was used as placebo locally in the control group. Then, other indicators were assessed. RESULTS Verapamil gel had no impact on the length, width, area, and size of placed flaps. The opening degree and necrosis of tissue were not improved in patients of case group after using the gel.

This study assessed biochemical methods in production of three-dimensional scaffolds from human skin. METHODS Human skin was prepared from circumcisions, washed in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and kept at -20ºC until use. The skin samples underwent various methods. In group A, NaCl, Triton X100 and EDTA solution were used for removal of epidermis and was subdivided to three subgroups. The solution for removal of epidermis was similar for all subgroups, but decellularization was different. Group B was subdivided into 6 subgroups, NaCl in different concentrations was used for removal of epidermis and decellularization happened using SDS in various concentrations and different time intervals. Group C was subdivided to 3 subgroups, trypsin was used for removal of epidermis and decellularization was conducted applying NaOH or SDS. Washing was performed using only PBS. In group D, decellularization was done applying SDS. Histomorphometric study was conducted to compare the groups. RESULTS No fibroblast was present in A2, B2, B4, and C3 subgroups after decellularization. Histological photographs from subgroups A1 to A3 revealed several cells and collagen fibers. Dense collagen fibers in pink color were noted in all subgroups; but, epidermis was absent. CONCLUSION It was shown that 1M NaCl was the best solution for removal of epidermis, 0.5% SDS for 2 h was the most effective solution for decellularization and PBS was the best solution for washing, while the solutions are easily available and cost-effective.}, Keywords = {Scaffold, ADM, Human skin, Aesthetic medicine}, volume = {7}, Number = {2}, pages = {204-211}, publisher = {}, url = {http://wjps.ir/article-1-411-en.html}, eprint = {http://wjps.ir/article-1-411-en.pdf}, journal = {World Journal of Plastic Surgery}, issn = {2228-7914}, eissn = {2252-0724}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {Srivastava, Sunil and Patil, Aditya and Prakash, Chaitra and Kumari, Hiranmayi}, title = {Comparison of Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide, 5-Fluorouracil, and Their Combination in Treatment of Keloids}, abstract ={BACKGROUND Despite the myriad options available, there is no universally accepted treatment for keloids.

METHODS In Department of Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from 1st August 2014 to 31st December 2015, six patients with plaster burn were assessed for total body surface area and depth of burn. The wounds were cultured and dressed with moist dressings daily till the surgical procedure and satisfactory healing. RESULTS The youngest patient was 10 and oldest 65 years (mean age: 40.20±6.67 years, 4 males and two females with ratio of 2:1). Three patients sustained plaster burn injury accidentally at home and 3 developed burn after medical application of plaster. The hands burns were observed commonly in accidental plaster burns, while ankle was often involved in iatrogenic plaster burns. The iatrogenic burns were mostly deep in thickness varying 2nd to 4th degree, while accidental burns were often 2nd degree. Superficial 2nd degree burns were managed conservatively, and deep 2nd degree burns were skin grafted. Fourth degree burn was managed with reverse sural flap alone and another with vacuum-assisted closure followed by reverse sural flap and skin grafting.
