Material and Methods: Three-hundred and fifty-six (356) BoNTA treatments were performed on 118 patients, between the January 2010 and the January 2013; BoNTA was reconstituited with lidocaine. Results: A few minute after the BoNTA injection the effect of muscle paralysis was seen in all the cases, this allowed the Author to provide an optimal symmetric result with no need of a touch up procedure at the control after a week. Maior complication were not registered. Conclusion: The results of this study shows how the reconstitution of BoNTA with lidocaine may avoid imperfect results after the injections; all components retain their function and immediate feedback on the extent of paralysis to be expected from the chemodenervation action of BoNTA let the physician to have an immediate control of the final result.

The suture materials, which are available today possess tensile strengths capable of withstanding forces far above what occurs during active treatment. The current suture techniques have some disadvantages of bulky repair, adhesion formation and delayed tendon rupture. With availability of better designs of Barbed sutures like Quill™, Vloc™ and Stratafix™ it has opened up a scope for new research into tendon repair. Various ex vivo studies have shown that a four strand repair using barbed suture has similar strength to conventional repair and adding an epitendinous suture adds on to repair strength. The Barbed suture repair reduces the cross sectional area at repair site, which may translate to reduced gliding resistance. There is need for clinical studies to analyze the effectiveness of Barbed suture in tendon repair in clinical setting and explore the potential advantages.

{"title":"Abdominal Perimeter Reduction with a Non-Contact Transdermal Radiofrequency Device at 27.12 Mhz and 300 Atts of Power: Retrospective Results Study","authors":"Fabián Pérez Rivera","doi":"10.31907/2414-2093.2021.07.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31907/2414-2093.2021.07.02","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract: Introduction: The global demand for non-invasive fat reduction procedures is continuously increasing. Numerous procedures have been developed for this purpose, such as ultrasound, focused ultrasound, cryolipolysis, radiofrequency, and laser, which can be used alone or combined. Several of these procedures do not have publications with evident results, and others, although they obtain results, have described adverse effects and moderate and severe complications. Methods: Retrospective patient records evaluation. Forty patients, twenty-three women and seventeen men, treated between August 2017 and December 2019, fulfilled a control at 30 days post-treatment (PT), with ages between 19 and 84 years, an average of 50 years, who underwent complete treatment of 6 and 8 sessions with non-contact transdermal radiofrequency equipment (NCTR) of 27.12 Mhz and 300 watts of power. Results: The patient's abdominal perimeter average reduction obtained was 1.35 cm (range of 0 cm to 6 cm) on patients who performed six sessions. The patient's abdominal perimeter average reduction was 2.47 cm (range 0.5 cm to 13 cm) on patients who completed eight sessions. The abdominal perimeter average reduction in all 40 patients was 1.91 cm (range 0 cm to 13 cm). Only two patients of the group of six sessions didn´t show any reduction. A significant abdominal perimeter reduction measure decreased according to the increase of sessions number: 54.65 % more reduction comparing the eight sessions group against the six sessions group of treated patients. More abdominal circumference reduction was found in males, an average of 2.7 cm, compared to females, an average of 1.5 cm, in the total of 40 patients comparing at 30 days post-treatment control results. It means that males obtain 55% more response to the treatment than females. Four fatty tissue induration that did not generate deformity or symptomatology appear as side effects. Resolved spontaneously without treatment in 7 days in the whole series appear. Conclusion: NCTR device at 27.12 Mhz and 300 watts of power turned out to be a safe and effective treatment to eliminate abdominal and flank fat, reduce circumference, and improve abdominal contour in most patients treated. A significant increase in abdominal perimeter reduction was found according to the rise in NCTR sessions. This significant reduction is noticed better at 30-day PT control than at the end of the treatment. Males obtain a better response to the treatment. Carrying out prospective studies with a larger number of subjects and long-term follow-up and adding better fat tissue reduction controls like ultrasound, computed axial tomography in all patients will make it possible to objectify better the results obtained.","PeriodicalId":14956,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Plastic Surgery Research","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88126528","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}
