However, the steric conformation of the structures related to the NLF has remained undefined since the composition and topography of this region is highly intricate. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the three-dimensional structures of the NLF using micro-computed tomography and verify their detailed composition via histological observation.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Twenty-four specimens were collected from the area beside the alar nasi to the area above the oral angle of 12 cadavers (mean age, 80.3 years) bilaterally. Twelve specimens were evaluated via phosphotungstic acid contrast staining, and the rest were evaluated via histological staining. All specimens were divided into three regions and comprehensively analyzed.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The medial region of the NLF had dense irregular connective tissue intermingled with muscle fibers; the lateral region of NLF had numerous fibrous septa with abundant adipose tissue. The levator labii alaeque nasi and the zygomaticus minor were attached to the medial part of the NLF, and the fascial septa were intermittently tethered to the dermis, lateral to the NLF. The extension of the adipose tissue within the fascial septa was limited by the lateral border of the muscle attachment.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Dimensional and distributional alterations of the adipose tissues with senescence could render the NLF deeper by increasing the depth of the subcutaneous layer, lateral to the fold. Hence, to ameliorate the fold, the adipose tissue, lateral to the fold, or the muscle traction, medial to the fold, should be altered.","PeriodicalId":20168,"journal":{"name":"Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73506679","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}

In the present study, a descriptive epidemiologic situation of postoperative lipedema patients is presented.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000The authors developed an online survey questionnaire for lipedema patients in Germany. The survey was conducted on 209 female patients who had been diagnosed with lipedema and had undergone tumescent liposuction.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Most of the participants (average age, 38.5 years) had noticed a first manifestation of the disease at the age of 16. It took a mean of 15 years to accomplish diagnosis. Liposuction led to a significant reduction of pain, swelling, tenderness, and easy bruising as confirmed by the majority of patients. Hypothyroidism [n = 75 (35.9 percent) and depression [n = 48 (23.0 percent)] occurred at a frequency far beyond the average prevalence in the German population. The prevalence of diabetes type 1 [n = 3 (1.4 percent)], and diabetes type 2 [n = 2 (1 percent)] was particularly low among the respondents. Forty-seven of the lipedema patients (approximately 22.5 percent) suffered from a diagnosed migraine. Following liposuction, the frequency and/or intensity of migraine attacks became markedly reduced, as stated by 32 patients (68.1 percent).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Quality of life increases significantly after surgery with a reduction of pain and swelling and decreased tendency to easy bruising. The high prevalence of hypothyroidism in lipedema patients could be related to the frequently observed lipedema-associated obesity. The low prevalence of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension appears to be a specific characteristic distinguishing lipedema from lifestyle-induced obesity.","PeriodicalId":20168,"journal":{"name":"Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"204 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77687795","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}

{"title":"Discussion: Computer-Assisted versus Conventional Freehand Mandibular Reconstruction with Fibula Free Flap: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.","authors":"L. Hollier","doi":"10.1097/PRS.0000000000006262","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/PRS.0000000000006262","url":null,"abstract":"www.PRSJournal.com 1429 I this article, the authors report the results of a systematic literature review and meta-analysis comparing computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction to conventional freehand mandibular reconstruction using free fibula flaps.1 This is one of the first studies to compare these two different techniques. After reviewing 647 articles and applying exclusion criteria, 12 articles were selected. Many different variables were studied, including ischemic time, operative time, patient length of stay, accuracy, and cost. In conducting these results, accuracy was the most difficult variable to compare. There was such a diversity of measurements used in the studies that a meta-analysis could not be conducted. However, computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction did appear to have superior or equivalent accuracy in most of the studies, when parameters such as condylar and gonial shift were compared to computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction. In addition, computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction showed reduced ischemic time, operative time, and length of stay. These findings are not surprising given the complexity of free fibular reconstruction of the mandible. With conventional freehand mandibular reconstruction, many decisions are made intraoperatively that affect subsequent aspects of the operation. The amount of resection determines the amount of fibula that must be harvested, and this in turn must be secured to the contoured reconstruction plate. Bending the plates is very complex and time consuming, and there is little tolerance for inaccuracies, as remaining teeth need to be placed in occlusion. An additional element of complexity is cutting the fibula to the contours of the reconstruction plate, maintaining bone-to-bone contact at each cut. With computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction, almost all of these elements can be planned preoperatively. The physician spends time before surgery with technicians to plan the resection and the reconstruction, including the shape of the plate and the appropriate cutting of the free fibular flap. At the time of surgery, the surgeon is typically equipped with a customized prebent plate and cutting guides for the fibula. One can see that this should certainly diminish time spent in the operating room and inaccuracies resulting from intraoperative decision-making. That having been said, the comparisons around cost are much more difficult to discern. One of the studies found an extra cost with computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction of $1231.50 with a prebent plate and over $3000.00 with a patientspecific surgical plate. The differential would be higher, but with the computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction, the time savings from the shorter procedure reduce the cost of the operating room time. However, costs are variable from country to country and the coverage of these costs by insurers is highly variable.

I commend the authors for their willingness to study red breast syndrome. In my view, fundamental methodologic flaws limit the value of this study. The authors describe prospective recruitment of study patients; however, an internal review board statement is lacking. This study has no control group against which samples from patients with red breast syndrome can be compared. The breast parenchyma and skin are known reservoirs of bacteria with substantial diversity that includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms.3–6 The authors refer to a historical control of acellular dermal matrices from asymptomatic patients where bacteria were imaged on some, but not all, acellular dermal matrices.7 Experimental conditions, however, vary substantively between the studies. For one, the majority of patients presented with red breast syndrome within 3 to 4 weeks of implantation,1 whereas specimens were procured 4 to 16 months after implantation in the authors’ former work.7 Recovery time alone could have impacted the inflammatory and host immune response between cohorts. Sampling bias is another major issue with this work. Understandably, the authors limited their acellular dermal matrix biopsy specimens to a lateral 1-cm2 piece for culture and another for scanning electron microscopy to avoid aesthetic deformity. To put this in context, though, these two specimens represent only 1.5 percent of the surface area of a 128-cm2 sheet of acellular dermal matrix. Leaders in the field of biofilm research recommend a multiprong approach that speciates bacteria and then visually confirms their presence through imaging.8–16 The authors do perform cultures and scanning electron microscopy; however, as presented, we have no idea whether imaged and cultured bacteria correlated with one another. In fact, although I presume that the presented micrographs are from specific study patients, the authors do not actually confirm this. As the authors point out, characterizing bacterial biofilms can be challenging, but the authors should have leveraged other modalities to improve the relevance of their work.9,13,16 Immunohistochemistry with bacteria-specific antibodies could confirm the presence of (and inform the distribution of) cultured bacteria on acellular dermal matrix specimens.

Consequently, lymphatic surgery is increasingly being offered in select hospitals throughout the United States. In 2016, Dr. Singhal and his team established a lymphatic surgery program at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.1 They developed a core team with a multidisciplinary approach to coordinate the diagnostic workup, management, and surveillance of patients. An electronic Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) database was established to monitor care delivery and facilitate future research. Their program has three arms, which constitute a “clinical triad”: (1) lymphatic surgery (plastic surgeon with a focus on lymphedema care); (2) lymphatic medicine (cardiologist with specialized training in vascular medicine and focus on lymphatic care); and (3) the lymphatic treatment clinic (certified lymphedema therapists). In addition, their program is supported by body and nuclear imaging. The lymphedema team meets bimonthly to discuss and formalize patient-specific care plans.1 Their experience has included patients undergoing immediate lymphatic reconstruction (e.g., lymphatic microsurgical preventative healing approach) or delayed lymphatic reconstruction (e.g. lymphovenous bypass and/or vascularized lymph node transplantation). Similar to ours and the experience of others, a majority of patients diagnosed with lymphedema had a history of breast cancer.1–6 Overall, Singhal et al. report seeing 142 patients for evaluation during the 1-year period, of which 40 patients were seen for immediate lymphatic reconstruction and 69 for cancer-related delayed lymphatic reconstruction.1 That nearly 30 percent of patients (40 of 142) were seen in consultation for immediate lymphatic reconstruction is notable.5 In our experience, integrating the lymphatic microsurgical preventative healing approach into surgical practice requires a close relationship between the breast surgical oncologist(s) and the reconstructive surgeons. Logistic challenges include coordinating scheduling, uncertainty regarding the potential need for axillary lymph node dissection, and insurance coverage. Furthermore, identifying the patients who are at highest risk for developing lymphedema continues to be a challenge that impacts treatment efficacy. However, Singhal et al. are apt to point out that patients referred for immediate lymphatic reconstruction require less workup before their surgery. Of the 102 patients presenting for delayed lymphatic reconstruction, only 49 patients underwent a presurgical workup. Patients were excluded because of poor surgical candidacy (47 percent), a desire to pursue conservative therapy (47 percent), or a diagnosis inconsistent with lymphedema ","PeriodicalId":20168,"journal":{"name":"Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89210258","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}
