Clinically, covering a breast implant with acellular dermal matrix or autologous tissue is considered to be the most effective technique to prevent capsular contracture. This study was designed to clearly compare the protective effects of acellular dermal matrix and latissimus dorsi muscle flap placement on capsular contracture by increasing the rate of capsular contracture through controlled radiation exposure in a rabbit model.\u0000Methods: Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups. After the implant was placed beneath the pectoralis major muscle, the lateral third of the implant was left exposed in the control group (n=6). In the acellular dermal matrix group (n=7), the exposed implant was covered with AlloDerm. In the latissimus dorsi flap group (n=7), the exposed implant was covered with a pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle flap. All groups were irradiated 3 weeks after implant insertion. After 6 months, peri-implant tissues were harvested and analyzed.\u0000Results: Acellular dermal matrix showed markedly lower myofibroblast activity than the latissimus dorsi flap. However, transforming growth factor β1 levels and the activity of collagen types I and III produced in fibroblasts were significantly lower in the acellular dermal matrix group than in the latissimus dorsi flap group.\u0000Conclusions: Based on the findings of our rabbit experiments, acellular dermal matrix is expected to have a comparative advantage in reducing the risk of capsular contracture compared to the latissimus dorsi flap.","PeriodicalId":505284,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141831447","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}

This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy of nerve decompression surgery in patients with chronic migraines, specifically focusing on occipital neuralgia, in South Korea. Between January 2019 and December 2022, six patients diagnosed with occipital neuralgia, who had not responded to conservative treatments, underwent nerve decompression surgery. This procedure, performed under local anesthesia, involved decompression of the greater and/or lesser occipital nerves. Patient data was analyzed for headache frequency and intensity (using the Numeric Rating Scale [NRS]) and the decrease in oral medications needed post-surgery. Results showed significant improvement in headache symptoms post-surgery, with the average preoperative NRS score of 7.9 dropping to 3.7 postoperatively. Additionally, the average number of medications used decreased from 3.2 to 1.3. No significant surgical complications were reported. The study highlights the potential of nerve decompression as an effective treatment for occipital neuralgia, particularly in cases resistant to traditional medical management.","PeriodicalId":505284,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141656072","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}

Such planning errors usually lead to poor results, with exposure of structural grafts, infection, scar retraction, airway obstruction and finally loss of projection and shape of the reconstructed nose. Reconstruction options for cases in which previous attempts have failed are always limited, as well as in cases of trauma or burns affecting the soft tissues of the forehead and face. In such complex situations, one may employ free flaps or tissue expansion, but such resources may not be always available. We describe a technique indicated for salvage surgeries in patients whose previous nasal reconstruction have failed, allowing a generous amount of tissue transfer for the nasal region. The technique combines the use of supraclavicular and submental flaps, with simple execution, not requiring microsurgical skills or devices such as tissue expanders. Done in three stages, the described technique provides enough skin for a total nasal reconstruction. The final result is obtained after subsequent refinements, and the total number of procedures is equivalent to when more sophisticated techniques are employed, such as tissue expansion or microsurgery.","PeriodicalId":505284,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141271810","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}

Although root avulsion is strongly indicated for surgical management, early nerve surgery in non-root avulsion patients is still doubtful.

Its harvest is associated with some unpredictability due to variability in perforator characteristics, injury or unfavorable configuration for complex defects. Antero-medial thigh flap (AMT) is an option, but the low incidence and thickness restricts its utility. TFL perforator flap (TFLP) is an excellent option to complement ALT. Its perforator is consistent, robust, in vicinity and lends itself with ALT perforator, to large conjoint flap, chimeric designs and possible two free flap harvest from the same thigh. \u0000\u0000 Methods: Analysis of 29 cases with a free flap for head neck reconstruction with an element of TFLP.\u0000\u0000Results: All cases were primarily planned for an ALT reconstruction. There was absence of the ALT perforator in 16 cases but a sizable TFL perforator was available. In 13 cases the complex defect warranted use of both ALT plus TFL in a conjoint (5), chimeric (5) and multiple (3) free flaps manner. Most common perforator location was septo-cutaneous between the TFL and Gluteus Medius. There was complete flap loss in two cases and partial necrosis in two. No adjuvant therapy was delayed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion:\u0000TFLP can be used to counter ALT/AMT unavailability, injury, suboptimal quality or need of a thicker flap.
