Consistent therapeutic support during wound healing can ensure optimal formation of new tissue. The greatest challenge in scar treatment is the dosage of therapeutic interventions: stimuli must meet the requirements of the tissue in its current state. However, excessive strain on the structure must be avoided to enable proper and undisturbed wound healing. Optimal treatment is based on the patient's fundamental conditions and is adjusted to the specific requirements of the healing tissue throughout the phases of wound healing. Continuous monitoring of the healing process, constant adjustment and selection of techniques, and consistent implementation of manual interventions are essential, particularly in the later stages of scar formation. It is crucial to involve patients in the independent treatment and care of scar tissue to increase the time under adequate tension and maintain the tissue in the best possible condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":55075,"journal":{"name":"Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie","volume":" ","pages":"170-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143733134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high time variance associated with microsurgical LVA procedures makes surgical planning more challenging and hampers optimal capacity utilisation. In addition, there is currently no data on the adequate representation of the surgical costs in the InEK (Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System) matrices of the DRGs to be billed.By analysing a total of 69 patient cases with LVA surgery, the influence of patient-specific and independent parameters as well as the choice of anaesthesia on the incision-suture time was investigated. After breaking down the surgical costs using cost object accounting, the revenue generated was calculated depending on the DRG. A cost-effectiveness analysis of LVA surgeries and benchmarking with other clinics was then performed.Patient-independent parameters such as the surgeon's experience and the number of anastomoses have a significant influence on the duration of the surgery, whereas patient-specific factors such as comorbidities are of minor importance. Regarding the surgical costs incurred in relation to the amounts calculated by InEK, there was a large discrepancy in the reimbursement amounts depending on the DRG billed, with some of the costs found to be inadequately covered. The training costs for LVA operations exceeded €200.The choice of the DRG to be billed has a decisive influence on the economic viability of LVA operations in the German healthcare system. In addition, inclusion or modulation of patient-independent parameters can optimise surgical planning, resulting in a more efficient use of operating room capacity and improved cost-effectiveness. Training costs are not adequately reflected in LVA surgeries.</p>","PeriodicalId":55075,"journal":{"name":"Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144035949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A study conducted by the FDA over 20 years reported over 3,500 injuries and 178 deaths, mostly caused by burns. The main causes of operating room fires can be explained by the \"fire triangle\": ignition sources, fuels, and oxidizers. Monopolar diathermy and lasers act as ignition sources, while alcohol-based disinfectants provide fuel. As oxidizers, oxygen and nitrous oxide further increase the risk of fire.This review is based on a literature analysis and case vignettes of patients with thermal injuries.

Key strategies include reducing oxygen concentration and using alternative disinfectants.

All patients underwent surgery based on the proposed therapeutic algorithm. Postoperative assessments were performed at 1 and 6 weeks and 6 months to 10 years. Clinical data, including complications, Baker grade, ptosis degree, and anthropometric measurements, were collected. Additionally, 3D breast images were taken, and a validated patient-reported quality of life outcome measure (Breast-Q™) was administered.Alloplastic augmentation exhibited a significantly higher complication rate (42%) compared with autologous fat transplantation (7.69%). We observed a mean side-to-side difference in areolar diameter of 0.37 cm for autologous reconstruction and 0.78 cm for alloplastic augmentation. The calculated symmetry index revealed 93% symmetry for both therapeutic approaches. All objective measurement methods demonstrated a lasting, symmetrical therapeutic success in correcting congenital deformities. Long-term patient-reported result satisfaction (Breast-Q™) was 74%. Patients undergoing autologous reconstruction required an average of 2.9 procedures to achieve the desired outcome, compared with 1.3 procedures for alloplastic augmentation.The therapeutic algorithm proved to be valid in terms of complication rates, breast symmetry, nipple-areolar complex (NAC) symmetry, and patient satisfaction. It can be considered for patients with congenital breast deformities.
