ABSTRACT
Resumen Antecedentes: La cirugía de aumento mamario con lipoinjerto se ha incrementado debido a que evita usar prótesis. Es utilizado para aumentos moderados con fines estéticos, no retarda el diagnóstico de cáncer ni aumenta el riesgo de sufrirlo. Objetivo: Revisar nuestra experiencia en aumento mamario estético con lipoinjerto, en una sesión y con seguimiento superior a un año. Materiales y Método: Se diseñó una cohorte prospectiva de mujeres. Se excluyeron aquellas con alteraciones congénitas, mesenquimopatías y fumadoras. La lipoinyección se efectuó con principios de Coleman. Para la medición del volumen mamario preoperatorio se utilizó la aplicación Breast-V. Volumen de aumento, tasa de retención y tasa de aumento fueron calculados. Resultados: 73 pacientes fueron lipoinjertadas, 35 superaron seguimiento a un año. Volumen mamario inicial fue 219,5 ± 44,1 cc. Volumen de aumento fue 99,9 ± 29,8 cc, tasa de retención grasa injertada 41,4%, tasa de aumento del volumen mamario 48,1%. 41 pacientes presentaron imágenes posoperatorias: quistes 15 pacientes (36,6%); necrosis grasa 2 pacientes (4,9%); macrocalcificaciones 8 pacientes (19,5%); microcalcificaciones 1 paciente (2,5%), cuya biopsia fue negativa para malignidad. Discusión: El lipoinjerto mamario es un procedimiento seguro, con resultados adecuados cuando se realiza en una sesión y por el mismo cirujano, siguiendo principios de Coleman. El aumento porcentual es el índice más significativo para evaluar su éxito. Conclusiones: Lipoinyección mamaria en una sesión es una técnica segura que logra aumento moderado del volumen mamario. Es útil para aumentos moderados o corrección de asimetrías leves. No hay evidencia de que interfiera con el diagnóstico precoz del cáncer de mama.
Background: Lipograft breast augmentation has increased due to avoidance of prosthetics. It is used for moderate increases for aesthetic purposes, it does not delay the diagnosis of cancer or increase the risk of suffering it. Aim: To review our experience in cosmetic breast augmentation with lipograft, in one session and with a follow-up of more than one year. Materials and Method: A prospective cohort of women was designed. Those with congenital alterations, mesenchymopathies and smokers were excluded. Lipoinjection was carried out with Coleman's principies. The Breast-V application was used to measure preoperative breast volume. Volume of increase, retention rate and rate of increase were calculated. Results: 73 patients were lipografted, 35 had a one-year follow-up. Initial breast volume was 219.5 ± 44.1 cc. Volume increase was 99.9 ± 29.8 cc, grafted fat retention rate 41.4%, breast volume increase rate 48.1%. 41 patients presented postoperative images: cysts 15 patients (36.6%); fat necrosis 2 patients (4.9%); macrocalcifiations 8 patients (19.5%); microcalcifiations 1 patient (2.5%), whose biopsy was negative for malignancy. Discussion: The mammary lipograft is a safe procedure, with adequate results when performed in one session and by the same surgeon, following Coleman principles. The percentage increase is the most significant index to evalúate your success. Conclusions: Breast lipoinjection in one session is a safe technique that achieves a moderate increase in breast volume. It is useful for moderate magnification or correction of slight asymmetries. There is no evidence that it interferes with the early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Introdução: A abdominoplastia é uma cirurgia estética muito realizada, na qual o risco de tromboembolismo (TEV) deve ser considerado pelos fatores predisponentes envolvidos e por sua gravidade. Não há, até o momento, protocolos bem definidos para profilaxia de TEV em Cirurgia Plástica. O objetivo é apresentar um protocolo de profilaxia de TEV utilizado no serviço de Cirurgia Plástica do HMCP - PUC Campinas, mostrando a incidência de TEV nas abdominoplastias antes e após o início do protocolo, bem como a incidência de hematomas após, no período total de 6 anos. Métodos: Revisão de prontuários de pacientes submetidos à abdominoplastia no período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2015, identificando os casos de TEV nesse período, associados ou não ao emprego de profilaxia farmacológica, e os de hematoma após início do protocolo. Resultados: O protocolo de profilaxia de TEV que é utilizado no serviço desde 2014 tem como base o protocolo de Anger e inclui medidas não farmacológicas e farmacológicas. Foram analisados 243 prontuários nesse estudo. Após início do protocolo, não foi evidenciado nenhum caso de TEV nos 74 pacientes submetidos à abdominoplastia e foi observado apenas um caso de hematoma. Já antes do mesmo, 2 casos de TEV ocorreram entre 169 pacientes operados. Conclusão: Após a adoção do protocolo de profilaxia de TEV, alcançamos uma incidência de TEV de 0% nas abdominoplastias nesse período, enquanto a mesma foi de 1,18% antes do protocolo. Já a incidência de hematomas após foi de 1,35%, comparável a taxas da literatura para a cirurgia sem a utilização de profilaxia farmacológica.
Introduction: Abdominoplasty is an accomplished cosmetic surgery, in which the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) must be considered, based on the predisposing factors involved and their severity. There are, to date, no well-defined protocols for VTE prophylaxis in plastic surgery. The objective of this paper is to present a protocol for the prophylaxis of VTE used in the Plastic Surgery Service of the Hospital e Maternidade Celso Pierro (HMCP) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica (PUC) de Campinas in São Paulo (SP), while also showing the incidence of VTE in patients undergoing abdominoplasties before and after initiation of the protocol, as well as the incidence of hematomas after the total period of 6 years. Methods: For the creation of this protocol, medical records of patients who underwent abdominoplasty from January 2010 to December 2015 were revised, identifying cases of VTE in this period, associated or not with the use of pharmacological prophylaxis, and those of hematoma after initiation of the protocol. Results: The protocol for prophylaxis of VTE that has been used in the service since 2014 is based on the Anger Protocol and includes non-pharmacological measures and pharmacological measures. Two hundred and forty-three medical records were analyzed in this study. After initiation of the protocol, no cases of VTE were observed in the 74 patients who underwent abdominoplasty, and only one case of hematoma was observed. Before the protocol was initiated, VTE developed in 2 cases among 169 operated patients. Conclusion: After adopting the VTE prophylaxis protocol, we achieved an incidence of 0% VTE in the abdominoplasties in this period, compared to an incidence of 1.18% before the protocol. The incidence of bruising after surgery was 1.35%, which is comparable to rates in the literature for surgery without the use of pharmacological prophylaxis.

Introdução: São apresentados dois casos de retração em região axilar após queimadura em que a correção cirúrgica foi realizada empregando-se zetaplastias múltiplas. Apresentamos uma tática de marcação que visa facilitar o aprendizado desse procedimento pelos residentes de Cirurgia Plástica. Métodos: Dois pacientes com retrações axilares e de membros superiores após queimadura com líquido aquecido foram submetidos à correção cirúrgica empregando-se a zetaplastia múltipla. A tática de planejamento proposta nesse estudo preconiza primeiro a marcação do retalho triangular localizado no ponto médio da retração axilar, o qual irá avançar e cruzar o eixo da cicatriz, e a partir daí o desenho dos retalhos subsequentes com ângulo de 60° entre si. Acreditamos que essa sistematização da marcação facilita o planejamento e aprendizado da plástica em Z. Resultados: Os pacientes apresentaram adequadas amplitude de movimento e recuperação funcional do membro acometido no pós-operatório. Não houve necrose das extremidades dos retalhos, que preconizamos serem cuidadosamente trabalhadas e um pouco arredondadas; e a execução do procedimento foi simples devido à tática de marcação que aplicamos. Conclusão: A tática de marcação que apresentamos é reprodutível e de fácil aprendizado. A zetaplastia múltipla foi eficaz em restabelecer a amplitude de movimento das áreas com sequela de queimadura tratadas com esse método.
Introduction: Herein, we present two cases of post-burn retraction of the axillary region, which were subsequently surgically corrected using multiple Z-plasties. We present a marking strategy to facilitate the learning of this procedure by plastic surgery residents. Methods: Two patients with axillary and upper limb retractions due to burns with hot liquids were surgically treated using multiple Z-plasties. The strategy proposed in this study recommends the marking of the triangular flap located at the midpoint of the axillary retraction, which then advances and crosses the axis of the scar. Then, subsequent flaps are made at an angle of 60° to each other. We believe that this systematization of marking facilitates the planning and learning of Z-plasty. Results: The study patients achieved an adequate range of motion and functional recovery of the affected limb postoperatively. We observed no cases of necrosis of the flap ends, which should be carefully worked and slightly rounded. The execution of the procedure was simple using the suggested marking strategy. Conclusion: The presented marking strategy was reproducible and easy to learn. Multiple Z-plasties were effective in restoring the range of motion of the areas affected by burns that were treated using this method.

Transtornos psiquiátricos são amplamente evidenciados em pacientes que buscam tratamentos estéticos. Apesar de não configurarem necessariamente uma contraindicação para a realização de procedimentos, o reconhecimento desses sintomas pelo profissional tende a contribuir para o fortalecimento da relação profissional-paciente e para um melhor prognóstico, reduzindo as chances de insatisfação, complicações e agravos nos sintomas psiquiátricos, além de evitar complicações legais. No presente artigo, os transtornos psiquiátricos mais comuns no domínio cosmético e estético foram apresentados e discutidos, assim como as orientações para o reconhecimento de sintomas e de manuseio destes pacientes por profissionais de saúde.
Psychiatric disorders are widely reported in patients seeking aesthetic treatments. Although they are not necessarily a contraindication for procedures, the recognition of these symptoms by the professional tends to strengthen the professional-patient relationship, thus leading to a better prognosis. This reduces the chances of dissatisfaction, complications, and aggravation of psychiatric symptoms, in addition to avoiding legal complications. In this article, the most common psychiatric disorders arising in cosmetic and aesthetic treatment are presented and discussed, as well as guidelines for recognizing the symptoms and managing these patients.

El Síndrome de Prune Belly (abdomen en ciruela pasa) es una enfermedad congénita rara en la que, además de las manifestaciones genitourinarias, la pared abdominal se ve afectada en todos los pacientes en diferentes grados. Presentamos el caso de un varón con seguimiento de 15 años en el que se realizaron 2 cirugías de pared abdominal: la primera a la edad de 8 años con técnica de Montfort y la última 14 años después para corregir pliegues cutáneos y asimetría abdominal, realizando abdominoplastia con acceso de Grazer con el objetivo de colocar una malla de polipropileno para obtener mejor contención y a la vez mejorar la estética de la pared abdominal. No se presentaron complicaciones en ninguno de los 2 procedimientos y los resultados estéticos obtenidos fueron muy satisfactorios. Ofrecemos una alternativa quirúrgica para el tratamiento de aquellos casos en los que la primera cirugía no resuelve el defecto de pared y la anomalía estética abdominal (AU)
Prune Belly Syndrome is a rare congenital disease in which besides the genitourinary manifestations, the abdominal wall is affected in all patients with various degrees of involvement. We present the case of a male with a follow-up of 15 years, during which 2 surgeries were performed in the abdominal wall: the first at age 8 with the Montfort technique, and the last one 14 years afterwards to correct skin folds and abdominal asymmetry, carrying out and abdominoplasty with the Grazer approach to achieve a better containment through a polypropilene mesh and enhancement of abdominal wall aesthetics. There were no complications during the 2 procedures and very satisfactory aesthetic results were obtained. We propose a surgical alternative for those cases in which the first surgery does not resolve wall defects and abdominal aesthetics (AU)

En este artículo presento mi experiencia como cirujano plástico de la organización Médicos del Mundo en múltiples misiones de ayuda humanitaria quirúrgica: conflictos bélicos y emergencias tras desastres naturales, describiendo la dinámica de este tipo de misiones desde la movilización inicial hasta el fin de las mismas y desde una óptica tanto personal como de la organización para la que actúo. Las misiones se han llevado a cabo en 10 países de Europa, África y Asia, en las que se intervinieron quirúrgicamente más de 330 pacientes. El equipo quirúrgico desplazado está compuesto habitualmente por anestesista, cirujano ortopédico y cirujano plástico; una combinación adecuada para el tipo de patología encontrada tanto tras terremotos (fracturas abiertas, síndromes por aplastamiento, secuelas de síndromes compartimentales), como en conflictos bélicos (heridas por metralla, por arma de fuego, amputaciones traumáticas, quemaduras y pérdidas de sustancia). Todo ello sirve también para analizar la diferente ayuda humanitaria que la comunidad internacional ofrece en ambos escenarios (AU)
In this paper I present my experience as plastic surgeon working for Médicos del Mundo organization in multiple humanitarian aid surgical missions: war conflicts and emergencies after natural disasters, describing the dynamics of such missions from the initial mobilization until its final from both, a personal perspective and the organization for which I act. Missions were conducted in 10 countries of Europe, Africa and Asia, and more than 330 patients were operated. The displaced surgical team usually consists of anesthesiologist, orthopedic surgeon and plastic surgeon; a suitable combination for the type of pathology founded after earthquakes (open fractures, crush syndrome, sequelae of compartment syndrome) and war (shrapnel wounds, gunshot wounds, traumatic amputations, burns and loss of substance). The existing difference between the humanitarian aid given by the international community in both scenarios is also analyzed (AU)

INTRODUÇÃO: A sindactilia por queimadura é uma sequela grave e incapacitante, e limita a função preensora da mão. Na maioria dos casos, é decorrente de má orientação cicatricial na fase aguda da queimadura. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever sistematização técnica adotada em nossa instituição, estabelecendo parâmetros de normalidade a serem buscados e técnicas cirúrgicas que auxiliem no tratamento. MÉTODO: No período de janeiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2012, 150 pacientes portadores de sindactilia decorrente de queimadura da mão foram submetidos a cirurgia reparadora. Em todos os pacientes, foram adotadas 4 etapas cirúrgicas: confecção do retalho dorsal; liberação da sindactilia; migração e sutura do retalho dorsal para sua nova posição interdigital; enxertia dos gaps com pele total, preenchendo os espaços remanescentes. RESULTADOS: Em 100% dos casos houve total sobrevivência dos retalhos, com perda parcial de enxerto em 20 pacientes e nenhum caso de infecção local. Em todos os pacientes dessa série foi observada recuperação da função da mão, com capacidade de preensão e de abdução digital restauradas. CONCLUSÕES: A sindactilia pós-queimadura é uma deformidade extremamente limitante ao paciente. O emprego de técnicas básicas de retalhos e enxertos proporcionou sucesso no tratamento, com restauração da função da mão, comprometida pela lesão.
INTRODUCTION: Syndactyly caused by burns to the hand is a severe and disabling sequel that limits hand function. In most cases, it results from poor scar orientation during the acute phase of the burn. This article describes the systematic technique adopted by our institution to treat this sequel, and establishes normal parameters to be investigated and surgical techniques. METHODS: Between January 2009 and December 2012, 150 patients with syndactyly caused by burns to the hand underwent reconstructive surgery. The following 4 surgical steps were used to treat all patients: preparation of the dorsal flap; syndactyly release; migration and suturing of the flap to its new position; and skin graft to fill the remaining spaces. RESULTS: There was graft survival in 100% of cases. Partial graft loss occurred 20 cases, and there were no cases of local infection. All patients recovered their hand function, including the ability to hold, and digital abduction. CONCLUSIONS: Syndactyly after burns is extremely limiting to the patient. The use of basic techniques of flaps and grafts results in successful treatment, restoring hand function compromised by the injury.

INTRODUÇÃO: O tratamento do terço superior da face deve ser amplo, englobando as regiões frontal e temporal. Entretanto, em decorrência das potenciais complicações e da cicatriz extensa, o lifting coronal tem sido evitado e substituído por técnica endoscópica e procedimentos menos invasivos, porém, talvez, menos eficazes. O objetivo deste estudo é propor uma tática cirúrgica com eficácia similar à do lifting coronal, sem, no entanto, as complicações típicas desse procedimento. MÉTODO: Foi realizada análise retrospectiva de 20 pacientes do sexo feminino, consecutivas, com média de idade de 53,3 anos, submetidas a lifting cervicofacial, no período de fevereiro de 2008 a julho de 2011. Foram avaliadas a sensibilidade da região abordada (anestesia, hipoestesia, hiperestesia, parestesia), a função motora do ramo temporal do nervo facial (movimento do músculo frontal), e a cicatrização (alargamento e alopecias). RESULTADOS: Não houve complicações sensitivas ou motoras, bem como vasculares. Também não foram observados alargamento cicatricial ou alopecias. Uma paciente precisou de revisão da miectomia dos músculos corrugadores e outra foi submetida a miectomia do músculo orbicular lateral do olho, para otimização do resultado. CONCLUSÕES: A tática é segura, simples, não necessita de equipamentos ou materiais especiais, e tem a vantagem da ampla e boa distribuição cutânea, englobando as regiões frontal e temporal.
BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment of the superior third of the face should usually involve an extensive area, including the frontal and temporal regions. However, the open coronal technique has been avoided because it carries a risk of potential complications and a wide scar. The technique has been supplanted by endoscopic and other less-invasive techniques, which are perhaps less efficacious. This article proposes an open technique that maintains the coronal lifting efficiency without its typical complications. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 20 consecutive female patients who underwent cervicofacial facelift from February 2008 to July 2011 was performed. The patients had a mean age of 53.3 years (range, 46-71 years). The sensitivity of the regions covered (i.e., anesthesia, hypoesthesia, hyperesthesia, paresthesia), motor function of the temporal branch of the facial nerve (i.e., frontal muscle movement), and healing (i.e., widening and alopecia) were evaluated. RESULTS: There were no sensory, motor, or vascular complications. Moreover, neither cicatricial enlargement nor alopecia was observed. One patient required revision of the corrugator muscle myectomy, and another underwent myectomy of the lateral orbicularis muscle of the eye for optimal results. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed technique is simple, safe, does not require special equipment or devices, and has the advantage of wide and harmonious distribution of the flap, including the temporal and frontal regions.

INTRODUÇÃO: A deformidade tuberosa da mama é uma rara entidade, descrita por Rees e Aston em 1976. O desenvolvimento mamário encontra-se alterado, com herniação do parênquima pelo complexo areolopapilar, alargamento dessa estrutura e hipoplasia do tecido mamário, principalmente nos quadrantes inferiores. A mama, portanto, adquire um aspecto tubular ao invés do aspecto cônico natural. MÉTODO: No total, 4 pacientes foram submetidas a tratamento cirúrgico em um único tempo, com incisões combinadas: inframamária e periareolar. Detalhes técnicos devem ser individualizados para cada caso, conforme a gravidade e a classificação do tipo de mama tuberosa. RESULTADOS: O procedimento cirúrgico utilizado aborda todos os aspectos da deformidade da mama tuberosa em operação de um estágio. Cirurgia de revisão de cicatriz periareolar não foi necessária em nenhum caso. Em todos os casos, obteve-se resultado estético final aceitável e com satisfação da paciente e do cirurgião. O procedimento adotado não interfere em lactações futuras. CONCLUSÕES: A mama tuberosa representa um verdadeiro desafio terapêutico. A técnica utilizada é muito atraente e mostra resultados confiáveis e reprodutíveis.
BACKGROUND: Tuberous breast deformity is a rare entity, first described by Rees and Aston in 1976. In this condition, breast development is altered, with herniation of the parenchyma through the nipple-areolar complex, enlargement of this structure, and hypoplasia of the breast tissue, especially in the lower quadrants. The breast thus acquires a tubular shape rather than the natural conical look. METHODS: Four patients underwent a single surgical treatment, with combined inframammary and periareolar incisions. Technical details must be individualized for each case depending on the severity and classification type of the tuberous breasts. RESULTS: The surgical procedure used covers all aspects of tuberous breast deformity in a single-stage operation. Revision of periareolar surgery scar was not necessary in any case. In all cases, the final aesthetic result was satisfactory for the patient and the surgeon. The procedure adopted does not interfere with future lactation. CONCLUSIONS: Tuberous breast represents a real therapeutic challenge. The technique reported herein is very attractive and provides reliable and reproducible results.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Para cerrar defectos cutáneos secundarios a cirugía oncológica en la pirámide nasal se han descrito un elevado número de colgajos, entre los que destacan los de rotación y transposición. El colgajo en espiral logarítmica se considera una variante del colgajo de rotación. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Presentamos una serie de 15 pacientes con diferentes tipos de neoplasias cutáneas en la pirámide nasal en los que el defecto cutáneo tras la exéresis mediante cirugía controlada al microscopio fue reconstruido mediante diferentes opciones de colgajo en espiral logarítmica. En el diseño del colgajo existen 3 aspectos esenciales: iniciar el pedículo en el borde superior o inferior de la herida, procurar que la anchura del extremo distal sea equivalente al diámetro vertical del defecto y aumentar progresivamente el radio desde el extremo distal del colgajo hasta su base. RESULTADOS: Los resultados estético y funcional tras la reconstrucción quirúrgica fueron adecuados, y ningún paciente requirió tratamientos adicionales para mejorar el aspecto de la cicatriz. CONCLUSIÓN: El colgajo en espiral logarítmica es útil en el cierre de defectos con morfología circular u ovalada localizados en el ala y lateral nasal, y se diseña desde uno de los bordes de la herida como un pedículo que, a modo de espiral, va aumentando progresivamente su radio. Proponemos el colgajo en espiral logarítmica como una opción excelente por un buen resultado estético en el cierre de defectos circulares u ovalados de la pirámide nasal
INTRODUCTION: A large number of flaps, particularly rotation and transposition flaps, have been described for the closure of skin defects left by oncologic surgery of the nose. The logarithmic spiral flap is a variant of the rotation flap. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We present a series of 15 patients with different types of skin tumor on the nose. The skin defect resulting from excision of the tumor by micrographic surgery was reconstructed using various forms of the logarithmic spiral flap. There are 3 essential aspects to flap design: commencement of the pedicle at the upper or lower border of the wound, a width of the distal end of the flap equal to the vertical diameter of the defect, and a progressive increase in the radius of the spiral from the distal end of the flap to its base. RESULTS: The cosmetic and functional results of surgical reconstruction were satisfactory, and no patient required additional treatment to improve scar appearance. CONCLUSION: The logarithmic spiral flap is useful for the closure of circular or oval defects situated on the lateral surface of the nose and nasal ala. The flap initiates at one of the borders of the wound as a pedicle with a radius that increases progressively to create a spiral. We propose the logarithmic spiral flap as an excellent option for the closure of circular or oval defects of the nose

A operação para aumento de glúteos com implantes teve início no fim da década de 1960, entretanto a técnica intramuscular, considerada padrão atualmente, foi descrita cerca de 30 anos depois. Cirurgiões e pacientes apresentam crescente interesse na realização do aumento de glúteos haja vista que sua frequência apresenta aumento nos últimos anos. A utilização de implantes intramusculares que superam o volume do músculo em mais de cinquenta por cento configura uma situação nova que deve ser estudada. O tecido muscular estriado esquelético apresenta grande suscetibilidade para atrofia secundariamente à compressão, e sendo o glúteo máximo um músculo importante na manutenção da postura ereta, deambulação, corrida e salto, é necessário pesquisar possíveis alterações musculares decorrentes da operação. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o volume e força do músculo glúteo máximo ao longo de 12 meses após a introdução de implantes intramusculares, o posicionamento destes implantes no interior da musculatura e mudanças antropométricas obtidas com a operação. Foram selecionadas 48 mulheres, 24 candidatas a gluteoplastia de aumento com implantes compuseram o grupo de estudo e 24 candidatas a mamoplastia de aumento compuseram o grupo controle de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. As pacientes foram avaliadas em quatro momentos diferentes: pré-operatório e após três, seis e 12 meses da operação. Em todas as etapas foi realizada avaliação clínica nutricional, tomografia computadorizada com reconstrução 3D e teste isocinético. Todas as pacientes permaneceram afastadas de atividades físicas durante três meses após a operação. Foram utilizados implantes glúteos em gel coesivo de base oval e superfície lisa com volumes de 350 cm3 e 400 cm3. O nível de significância estatística foi mantido em 5%. As pacientes candidatas a gluteoplastia apresentaram valores da relação entre as medidas da cintura e do quadril maiores que aquelas do grupo controle...
The gluteal augmentation surgery using implants began in the late 1960s, however intramuscular technique, which is considered standard today, was described about 30 years later. Plastic surgeons and patients have increased interest in gluteal augmentation given the fact that the operation has been more frequently in recent years. The use of intramuscular implants that overcomes the muscle volume in more than fifty percent configures a new situation that should be studied. The skeletal muscle tissue shows high susceptibility to atrophy secondary to compression, and the gluteus maximus is an important muscle in the maintenance of erect posture, walking, running and jumping, it is necessary to investigate possible muscle changes resulting from the operation. The objective of this study is to assess the volume and strength of the gluteus maximus muscle during 12 months after the introduction of the implants, the position of these implants within the muscles and anthropometric changes obtained with the operation. 48 women were selected, 24 candidates for gluteal augmentation composed the study group and 24 candidates for breast augmentation composed the control group according to the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. The patients were evaluated at four different moments: pre-operatively and after three, six and 12 months of the operation. At all stages of the study, was carried out nutritional evaluation, CT with 3D reconstruction and isokinetic testing. All patients remained away from physical activities for three months after the operation. Cohesive gel, oval base and smooth surface gluteal implants were used with volumes of 350 cm3 and 400 cm3. The level of statistical significance was 5%. The patients who were candidates for gluteoplasty presented bigger waist to hip ratio than those of the control group...

INTRODUCCIÓN. Las orejas prominentes son una deformidad no poco frecuente, que se caracteriza en la mayoría de los casos por la ausencia o subdesarrollo del antihélix, combinado con una concha profunda y una marcada separación de la oreja respecto del cráneo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el comportamiento posoperatorio de un grupo de pacientes operados mediante otoplastia, y medir el grado de satisfacción estética de cada paciente. MÉTODOS. El universo de trabajo estuvo constituido por 93 pacientes operados mediante otoplastia, según los pasos descritos por Psillakis y con alguna variante específica para cada caso, entre el 1994 y el 2004. Los pacientes fueron citados para seguimiento a las 72 h, a los 7 días para retirar la sutura, al mes, a los 6 meses, al año y a los 18 meses. RESULTADOS. Se constató que el número de complicaciones fue poco significativo y que la mayoría de ellas se debieron al incumplimiento de las medidas posoperatorias indicadas. Solo se presentaron 2 casos con recidivas y el 96,8 por ciento de los pacientes estuvieron conformes con el resultado estético obtenido. CONCLUSIONES.

INTRODUCTION. Prominent ears are a common deformity characterized in most of the cases by the absence or underdevelopment of the antihelix combined with a deep concha and a marked separation of the ear from the cranium. This paper was aimed at evaluating the postoperative behavior of a group of patients that underwent surgery by otoplasty, and at measuring the aesthetic satisfaction degree of every patient. METHODS. The universe of work was composed of 93 patients operated on by otoplasty according to the steps described by Psillakis and with some specific variant for each case between 1994 and 2004. The patients had an appointment for follow-up at 72 hours, at 7 days to remove the stitches, at a month, at 6 months and at 18 months. RESULTS. It was observed that the number of complications was not significant and that most of them resulted from the nonfulfillment of the postoperative measures indicated. There were only 2 cases with relapses and 96.8 percent of the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic result. CONCLUSIONS. Our results as to complications were similar and a bit lower than the documented by other authors. The patients and their relatives were very pleased with this type of treatment and confirmed having improved their self-image, which allowed them a fuller incorporation to society with a more productive social and economic life(AU)

OBJETIVO: investigar aspectos psicossociais relacionados à mudança da aparência facial em 29 pacientes, de ambos os gêneros, com idades entre 17 e 46 anos, com indicação de tratamento cirúrgico, nos períodos pré-operatório (durante preparo ortodôntico) e pós-operatório (transcorridos 6 meses da intervenção cirúrgica). MÉTODOS: utilizou-se questionários, aplicados na forma de entrevistas, com perguntas baseadas na proposta de Grossbart e Sarwer. Utilizou-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo, representando-se o motivo da procura pela correção cirúrgica em Categoria 1 (C1); as fantasias relacionadas aos resultados da correção cirúrgica (pré-operatório) e realização (pós-operatório) em Categoria 2 (C2); e as expectativas e a satisfação quanto aos resultados da correção cirúrgica em Categoria 3 (C3). As respostas foram reagrupadas nas subcategorias: estética (SC1), funcional (SC2), situações sociais (SC3), auto-estima (SC4) e profissional (SC5). RESULTADOS: os resultados indicaram que os pacientes procuraram a correção cirúrgica por motivos funcionais (34,5 por cento), estéticos (30,9 por cento) e sociais (29,1 por cento); desejavam melhorar as situações sociais (40 por cento) e a estética (32 por cento), com realização destes desejos, depois da cirurgia. Quanto às expectativas, 49,4 por cento dos pacientes esperavam melhorar o aspecto funcional, seguido da estética (26,9 por cento), situações sociais (11,2 por cento) e auto-estima (6,7 por cento). Em todos os aspectos, os pacientes ficaram muito satisfeitos pela melhora na dicção, na estética, na beleza e no retorno à vida sem discriminação. CONCLUSÕES: os pacientes procuraram a correção cirúrgica motivados a melhorar o aspecto funcional e a estética; fantasiavam melhorar as relações sociais e a aparência; esperavam, de forma realista, que a correção cirúrgica reparasse a função e a estética - objetivos propostos pela cirurgia ortognática.

Objetivo. La procidencia auricular es un problema frecuente que puede ser fuente de importantes alteraciones psicosociales. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido valorar la repercusión psicosocial, resultado y grado de satisfacción de los pacientes tratados en nuestro Servicio por orejas procedentes en los últimos 4 años. Material y Método. Se han evaluado mediante encuesta telefónica 127 pacientes intervenidos en nuestro Servicio siguiendo el protocolo para otoplastia definido en nuestro centro mediante técnica de Mustardé. Resultados. Se realizaron un total de 238 otoplastias en 127 pacientes(87% procedimientos bilaterales). La edad media fue de 8,15±3,25años (rango = 1-15 años). El tiempo medio de seguimiento fue de27,15±13,62 meses, (rango = 4-52 meses).En 78 pacientes (62%), la objetivación del problema provenía del entorno (padres o pediatra), y en los 49 restantes (38%), del propio paciente. Cuando el niño demandó la consulta existía un trastorno social previo, y en 16 afectaba a su rendimiento escolar. Todos los pacientes con alteraciones sociales y/o escolares recuperaron su autoestima tras el procedimiento. La complicación local más frecuente fue el rechazo de algún punto (9,4% de los casos). Dos de los pacientes se encuentran algo mejor, el resto están mejor o mucho mejor. Se ha producido recidiva en 8pacientes (6,29%), 3 recidivas parciales y 5 recidivas completas. Conclusiones. La otoplastia de Mustardé es una técnica simple indicada en casos evidentes de procidencia auricular, pero también debe considerarse en niños donde la percepción del problema es importante con transcendencia social y escolar (AU)
Purpose. The prominent ear is a frequent problem that can be a source of important psychosocial troubles. The aim of this paper has been to evaluate the psychosocial repercussion, cosmetic result and degree of satisfaction in patients treated at our Institution for prominent ears in the last 4 years. Material and Methods. A questionary has been sent to 127 patients. All of them underwent Mustarde`s otoplasty. Results. 238 otoplasty were performed in 127 patients (87% bilateral procedures). The mean age was 8,15 ± 3,25 years (range:1-15 years),with a follow-up of 27,15 ± 13,62 months (range: 4-52 months). Sixty-two% of the patients underwent otoplasty without having self-image affected while 38% of the group were patients older enough to see surgery to correct a long-standing defect. Patients did not require a period of postoperative psychosocial adjustment to their new appearance. Two patients described their results of surgery as little improvement. Three undergo partial recurrence and 5 suffered from total recurrence. All of the patients resume their lives with an improved level of self-confidence. Conclusions. Otoplasty is a safe procedure for prominent ears to be considered in children with psychosocial, emotional or behavioural effects (AU)
