RESUMEN
Objective: To examine the feasibility of small drain in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA). Methods: A prospective research was performed in Department of Oncology Plastic Surgery/Head and Neck Surgery, Hunan Cancer Hospital, from October 2018 to March 2019. Totally 103 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, signed the operation agreement of TOETVA, had their surgery completed and followed-up over 6 months, were enrolled in analysis. A central venous catheter was used as a drain tube in all cases (outer diameter 1.7 mm, inner diameter 1.0 mm). Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied for assessing pain scores during the first 24 hours after the operation. Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used for assessing the scar left by the drainage. The drainage volume (minimum scale:10 ml, approximate read: 1 ml) was recorded every 2 hours during the first postoperative 12 hours, every 4 hours during 12 to 24 hours, every 8 hours during 24 to 48 hours, and once from 48 hours until extubation. The volume of drainage, the cumulative volume and the percentage of cumulative volume accounting for the total volume were calculated. The data of residual volume (subtract the cumulative volume from the total volume) in the postoperative 24, 32 and 40 hours were analyzed, and their upper one-side P(95) was calculated by percentile method. Results: There were 12 males and 91 females. The age was (36.6±9.7) years (range: 18 to 58 years). The intraoperative tube-inserting time was (10.1±2.6) minutes (range: 6 to 18 minutes). The pain score on the first day was 2.7±1.1 (range: 1 to 5). The extubation time was (2.7±0.5) days (range: 2 to 4 days). VSS scores in the postoperative 1(st) month and 6(th) month were 2.9±1.3 (range: 0 to 7) and 0(2)(M(Q(R))), respectively. The size of the scar was 0 (2.5) mm in the postoperative 6(th) month. Sixty-four patients had no visible scars. There were 5 patients who had postoperative drain-related complications (1 for air leakage, 1 for tube blockage, 3 for subcutaneous hydrop, 2 for regional infection), who were all cured after proper treatment. The total volume of drainage for 98 patients without postoperative drain-related complications was (80.1±12.2) ml (range: 58 to 131 ml). The cumulative drainage within 8 hours accounted for (53.8±4.2)% (range: 41.0% to 62.9%) of the total drainage. The volume of residual fluids in the postoperative 32 hours was estimated to (5.8±2.7) ml (range: 0 to 12 ml,P(95)=10.0 ml). Conclusions: The small drain tubecan be applied in TOETVA, providing a satisfied cosmetic appearance and a reliable drainage. The main exudation period of the wound is within 8 hours after the operation. If a residual volume less than 10 ml is considered to be self-absorbable, the shortest safe extubation point for 95% patients without drain-related complications should be 32 hours after the operation.

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of transplantation of turbocharged bipedicle deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap in breast reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective observational study was used. From December 2008 to December 2016, 24 patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated in the Department of Plastic Surgery of Hunan Cancer Hospital, all patients were female, aged 28-51 (36.5±1.6) years. All cases received turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flap for two-staged breast reconstruction. According to the patterns of turbocharged vessels anastomosis, the turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flaps with length of (27.5±0.3) cm and width of (12.8±1.4) cm, were divided into three types: distal end of pedicle anastomosis type, main branch of pedicle anastomosis type, and muscular branch of pedicle anastomosis type. After complete hemostasis in the donor region, the anterior sheath was repaired with intermittent suture, and umbilical reconstruction was completed. Two negative pressure drainage tubes were indwelled, and subcutaneous tissue and skin were sutured layer by layer. The specific ways of vascular anastomosis of the flap pedicle with the internal thoracic vessels of recipient site included anastomosing the proximal end of one artery and one vein, anastomosing the proximal and distal end of one artery and one vein, and anastomosing the proximal end of one artery and two veins. Postoperatively, the survival and blood supply of flaps were observed. The patients were followed up to observe the reconstructed breast shape satisfaction, donor site complications, abdominal wall function, and scar hyperplasia. Results: All turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flaps for two-staged breast reconstruction survived well, with good blood supply. During follow-up for 14 to 56 (20±6) months, the shape of reconstructed breasts was satisfied. Only linear scar was left in the donor sites of abdomen with no complications, and the function of abdominal wall was not affected. Conclusions: For patients with clear indications, transplantation of free turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flap is a safe, reliable, and satisfactory choice for breast reconstruction with autologous tissue.

Objective: To explore the effects of pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous (PRAM)flap combined with free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEAP) flap carrying inguinal lymphatic flap in breast reconstruction and upper limb lymphedema treatment post radical mastectomy. Methods: From October 2014 to September 2016, 9 patients with upper limb lymphedema after mastectomy were treated with PRAM flap combined with free DIEAP flap carrying inguinal lymphatic flap for breast reconstruction and upper limb lymphedema treatment in Hunan Province Cancer Hospital. The patients were all females, aged 34-66 (44±7) years. The location of deep inferior epigastric artery perforator was detected by audible Doppler ultrasound blood stream detector and computed tomography angiography for designing combined tissue flap, with length of (25.32±0.27) cm, width of (13.14±0.76) cm, and thickness of (3.55±0.34) cm. The donor site of combined tissue flap was closed by suturing, and two or more tubes for negative pressure drainage were placed according to the situation of donor site and recipient site. Operation time and average placing time of negative pressure drainage tube, postoperative condition of combined tissue flap and the donor site, reconstructed breast condition, recovery of upper limb lymphedema were documented and followed up. Results: The operation time was 290-420 (396±55) min. The average retaining time of negative pressure drainage tube in breast was 5.9 d, while the average retaining time of negative pressure drainage tube in abdomen was 4.3 d. Ecchymoma occurred in DIEAP flap of one patient and in the flap donor site of another patient. Delayed healing was also seen in the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap of a patient, which healed eventually after dressing change, and the other flaps survived well. The appearance of reconstructed breast was good with good elasticity, and no contracture or deformation occurred in the tissue flap. The upper limb lymphedema in 7 patients was alleviated in varying degrees, with 2.0-4.0 cm reduction in circumference. During follow-up of 12-24 months of 9 patients, averaged 17.5 months, with 6 patients received long term bandage pressure therapy and physical therapy to the affected limbs after operation and all patients were satisfied with appearances of the affected limbs. Neuropathic pain in affected limbs was significantly relieved in 2 patients and stopped aggravating in the other 2 patients. Only linear scar was seen in the donor site of abdomen without affecting obviously the function of abdomen. Conclusions: The PRAM flap combined with free DIEAP flap carrying inguinal lymphatic flap is an effective way for breast reconstruction and upper limb lymphedema treatment post mastectomy.

On April 11, 2019, a 36-year-old female patient was admitted to Hunan Cancer Hospital. Five years after the modified radical mastectomy for right breast cancer, she planned to undergo scar releasing and reconstruction of right chest wall and free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap transfer, right breast reconstruction, and left breast mastopexy. The defect of right chest wall after scar resection was 18 cm×10 cm. During the operation, the vascular pedicle of DIEP flap was accidentally injured, then the profunda artery perforator flap in left inner thigh was designed for salvage. The size of the flap was 20 cm×11 cm, the thickness was 4.5 cm, the length of perforator vessel pedicle was 7.6 cm, and the weight of the flap was 360 g. The right breast defect was repaired with the transferred flap and the deep cavity was filled. The vascular pedicle of profunda artery was anastomosed with the proximal end of the right internal mammary artery. The blood supply of the flap was good during surgery. The left breast mastopexy was completed at the same time, and the donor site of thigh and abdomen was closed directly. The flap survived well and the donor site healed well after surgery. During the follow-up of 7 months post surgery, the appearance and function of thigh donor site were good, no obvious complications were found, and the reconstructed breast was smaller than the contralateral side. This case suggests that the profunda artery perforator flap could be a valuable option as an alternative for DIEP harvesting failure for autologous breast reconstruction.

Objective: To explore the anatomical classification and application of chimeric myocutaneous medial thigh perforator (MTP) flap in head and neck reconstruction. Methods: From September 2015 to December 2018, the clinical data of 74 patients (62 males and 12 females, age ranging from 31 to 69 years, with a mean age of 50.2 years) with oral tumor, who underwent radical resection in Hunan Cancer Hospital, including 39 cases of tongue carcinoma, 24 cases of gingival carcinoma and 11 cases of buccal cancer, 26 cases of stage T4N1M0, 22 cases of stage T4N0M0,15 cases of stage T3N1M0, and 11 cases of stage T3N2M0 were retrospectively analyzed in this work.The arteries and the veins contributing to MTP were anastomosed respectively with superior thyroid arteries, while the venae comitans were anastomosed with superior thyroid venae veins or internal jugular venae vein. The size of soft tissue defect, the length, width and thickness of free medial thigh flap, the length and source of vascular pedicle were recorded. The flap survival, functional status and donor area recovery were observed. Results: The postoperative defects in size ranged from 4.0 cm×3.5 cm to 9.0 cm×5.5 cm, which were reconstructed by free chimeric myocutaneous MTP flaps. The mean length of MTP flaps was (12.5±0.4) cm, the mean width was (7.2±0.4) cm, the mean thickness was (3.5±0.2) cm. The mean pedicle length was (8.6±0.4) cm. The perforators existed consistently in all cases, and the vascular origins were classified into 6 types. There were 4 cases (5.4%) of the perforating branches originating from femoral artery between the medial femoris and the adductor longus, 6 cases (8.1%) of the perforating branches of the profunda femoral artery from the adductor longus, 16 cases (21.6%) of the perforating branches of the profunda femoral artery from the gracilis, 9 cases (12.2%) of the perforating branches of the profunda femoral artery between the gracilis and the adductor longus, 29 cases (39.2%) of the perforating branches of the profunda femoral artery from the adductor longus, and 10 cases (13.5%) of branches of the profunda femoral artery from the semimembranous muscle. All 74 flaps survived uneventfully. The donor sites and recipient sites were closed directly in all cases. All patients were followed up for 12-36 months with satisfied esthetic and functional results. Only linear scars were left in the donor sites, and the thigh function was not affected. Local recurrence happened in 4 cases, which were treated with radical resection and the left defects were reconstructed with pedicled pectoral major myocutaneous flaps. Conclusion: The chimeric myocutaneous MTP flap has good color match and texture, with abundant tissue, and consistent blood supply, and it can be harvested in various forms while leaving minimal morbidity at donor site, being an idea choice for reconstruction after surgery of oral cancer.

Objective: To explore the selection and effects of flap/myocutaneous flap repair methods for the defect after perineum tumor resection. Methods: From January 2011 to February 2017, 31 patients with vulvar tumor who were admitted to Hunan Cancer Hospital underwent repair of wound after tumor resection with various flaps/myocutaneous flaps. The patients were composed of 5 males and 26 females, aged 39-76 years, with 27 vulvar cancer and 4 Paget's disease in primary diseases. The size of defects after vulvar tumor radical resection ranged from 8.0 cm×4.5 cm to 27.5 cm×24.0 cm. According to the theory of perforasome, the defects were repaired by the external pudendal artery perforator flap, deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap, rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, anterolateral thigh flap, internal pudendal artery perforator flap, gracilis myocutaneous flap, and profunda artery perforator flap based on the specific size and location of perineum and groin where the defect was located. According to the blood supply zone of flap, totally 17 local translocation flaps, 18 axial flaps/myocutaneous flaps, and 7 V-Y advancement flaps were resected, with an area of 7.0 cm×4.0 cm to 21.0 cm×13.0 cm. All the flaps/myocutaneous flaps were transferred in pedicled fashion, and the donor sites were closed without tension. The number of flaps/myocutaneous flaps, wound closure, flaps/myocutaneous flaps survival, and follow-up were observed and recorded. Results: Altogether 42 flaps/myocutaneous flaps were harvested in 31 patients. Two flaps/myocutaneous flaps were used in 11 cases for large circular defect repair. All the defects achieved tension-free primary closure. The blood supply of 32 flaps/myocutaneous flaps was good, while insufficient blood supply was noted in the other 10 flaps/myocutaneous flaps. Seventeen flaps/myocutaneous flaps survived smoothly. Wound dehiscence occurred in 5 flaps/myocutaneous flaps 8 to 14 days postoperatively, which was healed with dressing change. Temporary congestion was noted in 7 flaps/myocutaneous flaps 2 to 5 days postoperatively, which recovered without special treatment. Three flaps/myocutaneous flaps had infection 7 to 15 days postoperatively, two of which recovered after dressing change, while the other one had partial necrosis and received debridement and direct closure. Two flaps/myocutaneous flaps were totally necrotic 8 to 15 days postoperatively, which were repaired with pedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap after debridement. Seven flaps/myocutaneous flaps had partial necrosis 7 to 20 days postoperatively and were healed after dressing change. Twenty-four patients were followed up for 9-38 months. The color of flaps/myocutaneous flaps was similar to that of the surrounding skin, the shape of vulva was natural, the movement of hip joint was not limited, the function of micturition and defecation was not affected, and tumor recurrence was noted in 3 patients. Conclusions: For the complicated large defect after perineum tumor resection, the flexible application of different forms of flaps/myocutaneous flaps to repair according to different areas regains the appearance and function. However, there are many complications, so it is necessary to further strengthen the postoperative care.

Objective: To observe the effect of meisoindigo on apoptosis and proliferation of JAK2/V617F heterozygous mutation cell line-SET2 cell line to further explore the role of JAK-STAT pathway in this effect. Methods: Cell apoptosis after treated with different concentration of meisoindigo (0, 5, and 10 µmol/L) was evaluated by flow cytometry at different time points (24, 48, 72 h). Cell proliferation with CCK8 test was evaluated at different time points (24, 48, 72, 96 h) after administered with different concentration of meisoindigo (0, 5, 10, and 20 µmol/L). After treatment with different concentration of meisoindigo (0, 5, 10, and 20 µmol/L), SET2 cells were collected after 12 h, and then cultured in incomplete methylcellulose-based medium for clone formation. JAK-STAT signaling pathway and apoptosis related protein by Western blot test were evaluated 12 h after administered with different concentration of meisoindigo (0, 5, 10, and 20 µmol/L). Results: At different time points after treated with meisoindigo, the apoptosis rate of SET2 cell lines increased (P<0.01) with the inhibited proliferation (P<0.01), and the decreased clone formation rate of SET2 cell lines [0 µmol/L meisoindigo: (4.48±1.19)%, 20 µmol/L meisoindigo: (2.55±0.36)%; Dunnett P=0.020] in the presence of augmented concentrations of meisoindigo. At 12 hours after administration with meisoindigo, the reduced expressions of JAK2, P-JAK2, P-STAT1, P-STAT3, P-STAT3, STAT5, the decreased anti-apoptosis proteins BCL-2, BCL-XL and the increased pro-apoptosis protein BID, BIM were observed in the presence of increased concentrations of meisoindigo. Conclusion: Meisoindigo played an important role during the apoptosis and the inhibition of proliferation in ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm cell-SET2 cell lines, which might be related to the inhibition of JAK-STAT signaling pathway with up-regulation of pro-apoptosis protein and down-regulation of anti-apoptosis protein.

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of free deep inferior epigastric perforator flap carrying lymphatic groin flap for treatment of upper limb lymphedema after radical mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Methods: From October 2014 to December 2016, 10 female patients, aged 37-60 (48±8) years, who had lymphedema in the upper limb after radical mastectomy, were admitted to Department of Oncology Plastic Surgery of Hunan Cancer Hospital. Three patients suffered recurrent erysipelas infections, and 4 patients suffered consistent neuropathic pain in the upper limb. Free deep inferior epigastric perforator flap carrying lymphatic groin flap was used for breast reconstruction and lymphedema treatment. Operation was performed by 2 surgeon groups including recipient site prepare group and flap harvest group. In the 10 patients, the length of the flaps was (26.2±0.3) cm, the width of the flaps was (13.4±0.4) cm, and the thickness of the flaps was (3.4±0.3) cm. All the donor sites in the abdomen were closed directly. The choices of vascular pedicles and vessels in the recipient sites, operation time, complications, operation effects, and follow-up were recorded. Results: (1) Bilateral vascular pedicle was adopted in flaps of 5 patients. Unilateral vascular pedicle was adopted in flaps of 5 patients. The recipient vessels were proximal and distal ends of internal thoracic vessels in 4 cases, the proximal end of thoracodorsal vessels in 3 cases, the proximal end of internal thoracic vessels in 2 cases, and the proximal end of internal thoracic vessels and thoracodorsal vessels in 1 case. (2) The operation time of the patients was 330-480 (406±55) min. (3) Subcutaneous edema was observed in flaps of 2 patients and donor site of 1 patient, which were all healed by dressing change therapy. The other flaps survived successfully. The reconstructed breasts were in good shape and elasticity. Nine patients had different degrees of relief in lymphedema in the upper limb. All 10 patients were followed up for 6 to 28 months, no one had recurrent erysipelas infections, and neuropathic pain in the upper limb was relieved in 2 patients. Only linear scar was left in the donor sites of 10 patients, and the function of abdomen was not affected without related complications. Conclusions: Free deep inferior epigastric perforator flap carrying lymphatic groin flap can simultaneously accomplish breast reconstruction and upper limb lymphedema treatment, which is worthwhile to be popularized in clinic.

Objective: To observe the outcome of relaying anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator flap in resurfacing the donor site wound following free anteromedial thigh (AMT) perforator flap transfer for reconstruction of defect after oral tumor radical resection. Methods: From January 2013 to January 2016, 28 patients with oral tumor underwent radical resection in our hospital, leaving defects with size ranged from 6.5 cm×3.5 cm to 11.0 cm×7.5 cm which were reconstructed by free AMT perforator flaps with size ranged from 7.0 cm×4.0 cm to 12.0 cm×8.0 cm. All the arteries of AMT perforators were anastomosed with superior thyroid arteries, while the venae comitants were anastomosed with superior thyroid venae or internal jugular venae. The donor site wounds of free AMT perforator flaps were reconstructed by relaying ALT perforator flaps with size ranged from 8.0 cm×3.5 cm to 14.0 cm×7.5 cm. The relaying ALT perforator flap and wound edge were closed directly with layer interrupted suture. Postoperatively, the patients stayed in bed and received diet through nasal feeding tube, and the ordinary diet and lower extremity exercise were carried out from one week after operation. Results: The AMT and ALT perforators existed consistently in all patients. In 16 patients the venae comitants of AMT perforator arteries were anastomosed with superior thyroid venae in end-to-end fashion, while in 12 patients with internal jugular venae in end-to-side fashion. All flaps survived uneventfully about 2 weeks after operation, and the wounds healed smoothly. All patients were followed up for 6 to 30 months after operation. The sites repaired with free AMT perforator flaps were not bulky in appearance, with two-point discrimination distances ranged from 8 to 15 mm. The movement of tongue was not obviously affected, and patients could speak and eat normally. The texture and color of the sites repaired with relaying ALT perforator flaps were close to those of the adjacent tissue, and the two-point discrimination distances of the sites repaired with relaying ALT perforator flaps were ranged from 7 to 12 mm. The function of thigh was not obviously affected, and patients could walk normally and do related daily activities. Conclusions: Reconstruction of defect after oral tumor radical resection with free AMT perforator flap can achieve good outcome, and wound in the donor site of free AMT perforator flap repaired with relaying ALT perforator flap can achieve good appearance and function recovery.

Objective: To investigate the application of free medial thigh chimeric myocutaneous perforator flap in the reconstruction of tongue defect after radical resection of tongue carcinoma. Methods: From June 2013 to November 2015, 17 cases with tongue carcinoma underwent radical resection and tongue and mouth floor defects after surgery were reconstructed with medial thigh chimeric myocutaneous perforator flaps at the same stage. These 17 cases included tongue carcinoma on lingual margin (n=9), ventral tongue (n=7) and mouth floor (n=1). Appearance and functional results were evaluated with follow-up. Results: Medial thigh chimeric myocutaneous perforator flap was (9.0±0.3) cm in length, (4.5±0.3) cm in width , and (1.8±0.4) cm in thickness. The length of pedicle was (7.4±0.6) cm. All of the 17 flaps survived uneventfully, and the donor sites were closed directly in all cases. All patients were followed up for 10-28 months with satisfied esthetic and functional results in reconstructed tongue. Aside from linear scar in the donor sites, the functions of thighs were not affected. No local recurrence occurred. Conclusion: The free medial thigh chimeric myocutaneous perforator flap is an ideal choice to reconstruct the tongue and mouth floor defect after radical resection of tongue carcinoma.

Objective: To report our experience in the application of modified pedicled thoracoacromial artery perforator (TAAP) flap for the repair of complex pharyngocutaneous fistula. Methods: Between December 2011 and September 2015, modified pedicled TAAP flaps were used to repair pharyngocutaneous fistulas in 9 patients. All patients were males, and ranged in age from 28 to 72 years old. Fistula size ranged from 4.5 cm×2.5 cm to 6.5 cm×4.5 cm, and the TAAP skin paddle size ranged from 7.0 cm×4.0 cm to 8.0 cm×5.0 cm. Neck defect size ranged from 4.0 cm×3.0 cm to 6.0 cm×4.0 cm, and the TAAP skin paddle size ranged from 5.5 cm×3.5 cm to 7.0 cm×5.0 cm. Results: All 9 flaps survived smoothly and all the donor sites were closed directly, with no flap vascular crisis and necrosis. The mean hospitalization of patients was 10.4 days. Postoperative barium swallow showed no hypopharyngeal stenosis or fistula recurrence. The follow-up time ranged from 8 to 32 months. The appearance of neck was good and all patients accepted oral diet. Only linear scar was left on the donor site, with no significant impairment of the function of pectoralis major muscle. Conclusion: Modified pedicled TAAP flap is suitable for the repair of complex pharyngocutaneous fistula.
