Not only is there a component of loss of skin and muscle, but one must also consider reconstruction in an immediate or delayed fashion; whether a vaginal resection will result in partial or a total defect; and, if partial, whether the vaginal loss will be on the anterior, posterior, or distal vaginal wall. The pudendal flap may not be the best option for some of these defects. Loss of the vaginal introitus as well as part of the vault requires careful planning to provide a flap design with adequate length and width to prevent stenosis. Fraught with bacterial contamination, limitation of tissue advancement, and often tissues subjected to previous adjuvant therapy, perineal reconstruction is frequently accompanied by complications. Knowledge of the appropriate anatomy reduces morbidity. This chapter will focus on the pudendal (Singapore) artery flap for reconstruction. At the end of the chapter, readers should be able to understand the anatomy, design of the flap, and management of potential complications","PeriodicalId":100987,"journal":{"name":"Operative Techniques in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88891274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is usually caused by an increased estrogen-to-androgen ratio. Proper assessment requires a thorough history and physical examination to rule out physiologic and iatrogenic causes. It is critical to rule out male breast cancer. Surgical treatment for mild gynecomastia entails liposuction with glandular excision. More advanced gynecomastia may require staged surgical procedures and the use of techniques such as skin excision, breast reduction, subcutaneous mastectomy, and free nipple grafting. There are few contraindications, and patient satisfaction is typically high. To successfully treat gynecomastia, the clinician must have a full understanding of its pathogenesis.","PeriodicalId":100987,"journal":{"name":"Operative Techniques in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86695905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dysfunction of the velopharyngeal sphincter allows excess air passage into the nasal cavity, resulting in altered speech. Surgeons rely on a handful of diagnostic modalities as well as perceptual speech analysis by cleft-trained speech-language pathologists for proper evaluation of the underlying abnormality causing velopharyngeal dysfunction and for determination of subsequent treatment options. Pharyngeal flap surgery is considered in patients whose dysfunction occurs due to velopharyngeal insufficiency from a large anteroposterior central gap during closure of the velum and pharynx. The pharyngeal flap creates a static central obstruction while maintaining two patent lateral airway openings, ultimately aiding in improved phonation of oral consonants.","PeriodicalId":100987,"journal":{"name":"Operative Techniques in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90153542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
