BACKGROUND: Exosomes and other secretory membrane vesicles, collectively referred to as extracellular vesicles (EVs), have garnered increasing attention in research due to their biological characteristics. Notably, studies have shown promising results regarding the role of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (SC-EVs) in skin and plastic surgery applications. This study aims to elucidate current trends in SC-EVs within the context of skin and plastic surgery and offer insights for future research directions in advancing this critical field. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted for relevant studies on SC-EVs in skin and plastic surgery spanning from 2003 to 2023, utilizing the Web of Science database. Subsequently, data analysis was performed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. RESULTS: A total of 1089 studies were identified, with a noticeable annual increase in publications on SC-EVs' application in skin and plastic surgery. China emerged as the leading contributor to this field, with Shanghai Jiao Tong University being a notable institution. Stem Cell Research & Therapy and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences were the top journals publishing relevant articles. Author Fu Xiaobing from the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital had the highest publication count in this area. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed six distinct clusters, with "exosomes" being the most prevalent keyword in recent years. Wound healing and skin rejuvenation emerged as primary research focuses and hotspots in this field. CONCLUSION: This comprehensive review offers insights into global trends surrounding SC-EVs in skin and plastic surgery. Analysis of journals, institutions, references, and keywords provides valuable guidance for researchers in determining future research directions.

BACKGROUND: Dermatosurgical procedures are predominantly performed under local anesthesia, yet there are few studies on perioperative pain management for extensive or staged procedures under local anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to assess pain during dermatologic surgery, describe perioperative pain management, and identify factors that influence pain perception. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective, monocentric study included inpatients undergoing dermatologic surgery under local anesthesia from April to December 2021. Preoperative demographic data, a pain questionnaire, and four psychometric questionnaires (PCS, LOT-R, SFQ, PHQ-9) were collected. Postoperative pain and analgesic use during the first 24 hours were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 120 patients (with a total of 191 interventions) were included in the study. Mean postoperative pain was reported to be very low (NRS < 2). Preoperative pain and expected postoperative pain were found to be predictive of postoperative pain. There was a strong correlation between catastrophizing and preoperative anxiety (r = 0.65) and a moderate correlation between depression and preoperative anxiety (r = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS: Dermatologic surgery under local anesthesia is generally considered painless. During preoperative counseling and assessment, attention should be paid to patients who fear surgery, report pain, or anticipate postoperative pain, as they have an increased risk of experiencing postoperative pain.

OBJECTIVE: Multiple techniques are available for closing skin defects, such as skin grafts, flaps and tissue expansion. The tissue extender MID SEW (MID, France) was developed to achieve dermatotraction or suture reinforcement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this innovative silicone extender for large surgical wounds. METHOD: A single-centre retrospective and observational study on an unselected consecutive cohort of patients treated with a tissue extender was conducted. Indications, initial and final wound surfaces, and adverse events (AEs) were retrieved from electronic medical records. The main outcome measure was the time to complete wound closure. RESULTS: We identified 50 patients from July 2017 to December 2018. Patients underwent cutaneous tumour-wide excision (n=44), or pilonidal disease surgical treatment (n=6). The average initial wound area was 53.3±42.4cm2. Healing was complete, without secondary dehiscence, within the first seven days after device withdrawal for 41 patients (82%). At least one AE was experienced by eight patients (16%) during the study period: five inflammation; five wound dehiscence; two skin necrosis; and one pain. CONCLUSION: This case series suggests that the tissue extender may be effective and safe in its dermatotraction and suture reinforcement indications in the treatment of large wounds after wide excision of skin cancer or treatment of pilonidal disease. DECLARATION OF INTEREST: This work was supported in part by the Hospices Civils de Lyon, France and in part by the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France. OB co-owns the patent on the MID SEW system. The authors have no other conflicts of interest to declare.

INTRODUCTION: Fast gut cutaneous sutures have become more prominent due to their low tissue reactivity, rapid absorption, and elimination of suture removal visits. It is not known how fast gut sutures compare to other closure modalities. METHODS: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing fast gut sutures to alternative closure methods during dermatologic surgery. Data collected included patient and physician assessed cosmetic outcome as well as standardized complication rates. RESULTS: Six studies were included in final analysis and reported on 208 patients. Fast gut sutures were associated with lower physician opinions of final scar when compared to polypropylene sutures (SMD 0.438; 95% CI 0.082 to 0.794). No differences existed between physician opinion of fast gut sutures and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (SMD - 0.024; 95% CI - 0.605 to 0.556). Complications with fast gut suture placement were rare, and included infection, dehiscence, and hematomas. Fast gut sutures were less likely to experience wound dehiscence than tissue adhesive (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: If no contraindications to polypropylene sutures exist, they may provide superior cosmetic outcomes compared to fast gut sutures. Further research is required to better quantify cosmetic outcomes and optimal use of fast gut sutures.

OBJECTIVE: To test the effectiveness of a novel wire-guided scalpel (Guideblade) to create a precise dermatotomy incision for central venous catheter (CVC) insertion. DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized interventional study. SETTING: Stanford University, single-center teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Cardiac and vascular surgical patients (n = 100) with planned CVC insertion for operation. INTERVENTIONS: A wire-guided scalpel was used during CVC insertion. RESULTS: A total of 188 CVCs were performed successfully with a wire-guided scalpel without the need for additional equipment in 100 patients, and 94% of CVCs were accomplished with only a single dermatotomy attempt. "No bleeding" or "minimal bleeding" at the insertion site was observed in 90% of patients 30 minutes after insertion and 80.7% at the conclusion of surgery. CONCLUSION: The wire-guided scalpel was effective in performing dermatotomy for CVC with a 100% success rate and a very high first-attempt rate. The wire-guided scalpel may decrease bleeding at the CVC insertion site.

BACKGROUND: The use of ointments can be beneficial for dry, chapped, or cracked skin and also for supporting wound healing. We describe the results of 2 studies with an over-the-counter healing ointment (HO) to evaluate the effects on skin hydration and in the setting of wound healing after dermatologic procedures. Methods: Study 1 was a single-center, in-use study using HO on qualified areas at least once daily for 4 weeks in subjects with dry, cracked body skin and self-perceived sensitive skin. Study 2 was a multi-center study of wound healing in subjects using HO on a daily basis after having dermatologic surgical procedures. Results: In Study 1, there was a significant reduction in skin dryness after 1 and 4 weeks of HO use (P<0.05). Image analysis of the skin revealed a significant increase in skin smoothness after the first application of HO in 100% of subjects (P<0.05). Tolerability and safety were excellent, and HO was well-perceived by subjects throughout the study. In Study 2, HO improved clinical assessments at all time points compared with baseline with a decrease in erythema, edema, scabbing/crusting, and an improvement in overall wound appearance (P<0.05). There was no worsening or significant increase in measures for tolerability parameters at any study visits. Additionally, HO achieved a favorable perception by study subjects. Conclusions: HO has a well-established safety profile and has been shown to improve both skin hydration and the overall wound healing process after dermatologic surgical procedures.

BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a rare and intricate hereditary disease. The appearance and functional deformity of the forehead caused by thickened folds are the main clinical manifestations of patients with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. The cause of this disease is still unknown. Currently, surgical treatment has become one of the best strategies, mainly for improving the appearance of the forehead. There has been no literature report on the use of "W"-shaped skin flap resection for thickened forehead skin in patients with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. METHODS: All cases of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in our department in the last 7 years, and previous literature on hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, were reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 5 cases of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in our department (mean age 21 years, all male patients) were reviewed. All patients underwent open surgery to remove the thickened skin on the forehead or the wrinkles and gyrus-shaped scalp. The jagged skin tissue was removed (8-9) cm × (1-2.5) cm × 0.5 cm. The folds and thickness of the frontal skin of the patients were greatly improved after the operation. Patient satisfaction with the treatment outcomes was unanimous. However, one case experienced a postoperative wound infection during follow-up. The utilization of the "W"-shaped excision technique allowed for the maximal removal of excessively diseased tissue, thereby facilitating a smoother resolution of the depression. CONCLUSIONS: A total of 5 cases of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy were treated in our department, and all of them underwent frontal skin "W"-shaped excision, which was safe, feasible, and practical, and the postoperative results were satisfactory.

Understanding patient non-adherence to prescribed antibiotics can inform clinical practices, patient counseling, and antibiotic efficacy study design in dermatology. The primary objective was to determine the rate of and reasons for antibiotic non-adherence in the dermatologic surgery setting. The secondary objective was to test the applicability of previously studied survey questions for antibiotic non-adherence screening in the dermatologic surgery setting. Five academic outpatient dermatologic surgery centers across the United States conducted one multicenter prospective cohort study. Dermatologic surgery patients ≥ 18 years of age who were prescribed an antibiotic were included as part of this study. 15.2% (42/276) of patients did not adhere to their antibiotic regimen after dermatologic surgery. Most common reasons for incomplete antibiotic courses included forgotten antibiotics (42.9%,18/42) and side effects (28.6%, 12/42). Previously evaluated questions to identify and predict non-adherence had modest performance in the dermatologic surgery setting (Area under the curve of 0.669 [95% CI (0.583-0.754)]). Antibiotic non-adherence after skin surgery is prevalent and commonly due to reasons that physicians can address with patients.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory follicular dermatological condition that typically affects the intertriginous and anogenital regions of the apocrine gland-bearing skin. The management of this chronic and recurring disease necessitates a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and surgical approaches to achieve the best possible outcomes. While medical treatments are recommended for this multimodal disease, surgical therapy, which is the gold standard of treatment for HS, has proven to be the most effective treatment because it provides long-lasting local disease control, reduces the recurrence of lesions, and ensures complete healing of lesions. In the last decade, there has been exponential growth in research into various surgical techniques and reconstructive care, enabling patients to have more surgical options. There is a wide range of surgical management procedures available, such as incision and drainage, deroofing, excisional surgery, carbon dioxide laser therapy, and skin tissue-sparing excision with electrosurgical peeling. Among these surgical procedures, wide surgical excision is the best option since it can eradicate all the affected lesions. Meanwhile, the preferred approach to reconstruction at various anatomical locations remains debatable. Here, we review a variety of surgical treatments and reconstructive techniques for HS, particularly various flap techniques for the axillary, gluteal, and inframammary regions.

OBJECTIVE: Family physicians (FPs) in Canada routinely perform in-office cutaneous surgery. There is strong evidence to support a moist wound healing environment, resulting in faster healing times and improved cosmesis. However, the wound care practices of FPs have not been previously studied. We aimed to examine the postoperative wound care practices of FPs after in-office cutaneous surgery. METHOD: An online survey was distributed to Canadian FPs to determine post-surgical wound care practices. The survey examined moist versus dry wound healing and the reasons for these recommendations were explored. Additional wound care practices were also studied. Appropriate statistical analyses were undertaken. RESULTS: A total of 573 (91.5%) FPs completed the survey. Just under half (49.2%) of FPs recommended moist wound healing to their patients, while the remaining respondents (50.8%) recommended dry wound healing. The most endorsed reason for both moist and dry wound care recommendations was prior training (63.1% and 65.3%, respectively). Most physicians (57.2%) recommended the use of a cream or ointment postoperatively. While there appeared to be consensus on recommending sun avoidance after cutaneous surgery (77.7%), additional wound care practices varied, including: the use of dressings; cleansing practices; smoking cessation; reduction in physical activity; photoprotection; water exposure; and scar treatment/cosmetic use. CONCLUSION: Almost half of FPs in Canada responding to the survey did not recommend moist wound healing despite strong evidence to support this practice. We also noted a diverse range of postoperative wound care practices after in-office cutaneous surgery. Therefore, these results highlight a critical need for consistent wound care recommendations following cutaneous surgery for FPs in Canada.

BACKGROUND: Pinch grafting has experienced a resurgence in interest in recent years, stemming from its simplicity, safety, and potential in restoring tissue integrity. While historically employed for chronic nonhealing wounds, pinch grafts have shown promise following surgical procedures, particularly those involving the lower extremities. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the literature and present an updated overview of the current applications of pinch grafting. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. In collaboration with a medical reference librarian, the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies reporting on the use of pinch grafting from 2000 onward. The references of each included article were also screened. RESULTS: Ten articles met final inclusion criteria. In total, 300 patients underwent pinch grafting for treatment of skin ulceration, while an additional 35 cases were performed as an alternative to primary closure following skin cancer resection. Overall, pinch grafting was safe and well tolerated, with minimal adverse outcomes reported. CONCLUSION: Pinch grafting is a safe, straightforward, and effective technique to promote the healing of chronic wounds. While the procedure shows early promise in emerging applications within dermatologic surgery, only about 10% of the reported cases involved this indication, reflecting a need for further research in this area.
