RÉSUMÉ

Purpose@#Postoperative pain and delayed wound healing are the main complications following anal surgery associated with poor quality of life. Hyaluronic acid (HA) supports tissue regeneration and rapid wound healing by promoting cell proliferation and migration. We investigated the effects of HA on perianal wound healing in a rat model. @*Methods@#Forty-eight 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats with perianal wounds created by biopsy punch were divided into 3 groups: simple dressing with gauze (control), dressing with topical HA film, and dressing with topical HA gel. HA agents were not reapplied postoperatively. Wound healing was evaluated by measuring the healed area, and histological analyses were randomly performed using hematoxylin and eosin and Masson trichrome staining. @*Results@#Fewer mean days were required for complete wound healing in the HA film and HA gel groups than in the control group (11.6 vs. 11.9 vs. 13.8 days, respectively; P = 0.010). The healed area in the HA film group on day 11 was larger than that in the HA gel and control groups (80.2% vs. 61.9% vs. 53.2%, respectively; P < 0.001). Histologically, the HA film group showed accelerated reepithelialization, a rapid transition to lymphocyte-predominant inflammation, and increased fibroblastic proliferation and collagen deposition compared to the other groups. There was no treatment-related toxicity in the HA application groups. @*Conclusion@#Topical application of HA film to perianal wounds improves the wound healing rate in a rat model. This finding suggests a potential benefit of HA film application in promoting wound healing after anal surgery in humans.

RÉSUMÉ

A pressure sore, such as quadriplegia, is developed in patients who have been idle in bed for a long time, particularly in the spinal cord. The treatment is particularly difficult in cases of multiple recurrent sores, osteomyelitis with pathologic fractures, other underlying conditions such as diabetes mellitus, immuno-suppression, or radiotherapy. Over the last 20 years, the development and popularization of rectus abdominis flap have significantly increased for reconstruction of a wide variety of difficult clinical problems. From March 2000 to Dec 2001, 6 neurologically impaired patients underwent reconstruction of chronic pressure sores utilizing an inferiorly based rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 to 15 months. The average thickness of rectus abdominis muscle in quadriplegic patient is less than half of that in healthy patient. In most cases, mild venous congestions are developed, but these were resolved by medical treatment. All wounds have healed without any significant complications such as flap loss, infection, hernia, and sepsis. In conclusion, rectus abdominis muscle for these reconstructions provides a simple, reliable solution to often difficult reconstructive problem. We recommended this highly viable, versatile and reliable flap as one to be considered in planning the reconstruction of the quadriplegia patient with pressure sores when other local and regional flaps are unavailable.

RÉSUMÉ

Congenital earlobe deformity and the presence of the cleft at a site of the earlobe seems to be rare. It is important to well-formed, symmetrically positioned ears as a sign of esthetically pleasing, harmonious facial features. So the patients with cleft earlobe require operative repairs. The surgical techniques for congenital earlobe clefts employed vary from simple closure, Z-plasty, L-plasty, two flap method, triangular flap method, and so on. Among them, Passow-Claus described the classic L-plasty method. We designed the modified method that the L-flap direction faced laterally opposed to that of classic L-plasty and propose to term this method `reverse L-plasty`. Kitayama classified the congenital earlobe cleft into four groups according to the shape of cleft, as longitudinal, transverse, triplelobe or mixed, and defective type. We experienced four cases of congenital earlobe cleft. One patient was a defective type and the others were triplelobe types. There`s no complication in patients. We could obtain the advantages of smooth contour of free border, lack of groove or notching due to scar contracture, and possible in moderate defective type without additional method after long term follow-up. This technique breaks the vertical component of scar contracture, resulting in a smooth lobular border. So we believe that this reverse L-plasty technique offers a better cosmetic result in the repair of the cleft earlobe.

RÉSUMÉ

Congenital macrostomia is a result of defective union between the mandibular and maxillary processes and it is a rare deformity seen in every 100 to 300 facial clefts. Ohnizuka1`classified macrostomia into two groups as congenital and posttraumatic. We experienced two cases of acquired macrostomia due to NOMA sequelae(58/F:Lt & 51/F:Rt) and one case of congenital macrostomia (3 months/M:Rt). Many plastic surgeons have developed surgical procedures for repair of this congenital macrostomia. Among them, McCarthy6,11 described the classic commissuroplasty. We could repaired 1 case of congenital macrostomia and two cases of acquired macrostomia due to NOMA sequelae using modified technique of McCarthy,s classic commissuroplasty. McCarthy described new oral commissure 2-3mm laterally for prevention of postoperative contraction, orbicularis oris muscle transposition to restore labial function and a z- plasty cutaneous closure. But some author raise an objection to new oral commissure 2-3mm laterally, and they made new oral commissure at same distance of opposite side normal commissure. And so, we designed the new oral commissure moved 1mm laterally comparing to original commissuroplasty in a congenital case for the prevention of displacement. In cases of acquired macrostomia due to NOMA sequelae, we reconstructed new oral commissure like congenital case, moved 1mm laterally. Orbicularis oris muscle transposition could not be possible because of destruction of muscle, adhesion and atrophy. And so we dissected muscle and just sutured side by side. Acquired macrostomia following NOMA sequelae manifsted facial deformity variably, and reconstruction of the facial deformity is difficult by using simple approach. Other variable reconstructive procedures were needed with commissuroplasty as like Washio flap, rotation advancement flap, bone graft and free radial forarm flap, etc. Postoperative results were relatively good. We propose that macrostomia due to NOMA sequelae must add to Ohnizuka classification of acquired macrostomia.
