RESUMO

Evolution of breast reduction techniques has been a result of combining different skin marking patterns with a wide variety of pedicles. Despite the many differences that may exist among these procedures, they all rely on a few key principles. To make surgery more expeditious and minimize technical challenges, these principles can be incorporated into simple surgical strategies. The authors present a step-by-step approach to help to achieve a successful cosmetic breast reduction for patients with small to moderate breast hypertrophy. Special emphasis is given to intraoperative clues that make this procedure more reproducible and straightforward.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The purposes of this study were to retrospectively compare the 1-, 5-, and 10-year cosmetic outcomes of full-face carbon dioxide laser resurfacing using the SilkTouch technology, and analyze its advantages, disadvantages, and long-term results. METHODS: Photographic results of full-face carbon dioxide laser resurfacing were evaluated after 1, 5, and 10 years. Statistical analysis considered surgeon and patient satisfaction based on a predetermined cosmetic visual analogue scale. Patients and two plastic surgeons unfamiliar with the cases evaluated objective postresurfacing results using Beausang's grading system and a modified wrinkle assessment scale. RESULTS: One hundred fifty-nine patients were treated and 46 patients completed 1-, 5-, and 10-year follow-up. Combined aesthetic procedures to the full-face carbon dioxide resurfacing were transcutaneous upper lid/lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplasty and endoscopic brow lifts in 15 patients. After 1 year, some relapse occurred, but the overall aesthetic result remained very good. At 5 and 10 years, respectively, 32 and 20 percent of the sample maintained good-quality skin texture; 22 and 19 percent achieved correction of skin pigmentation without scars; and 88 and 98 percent needed correction of recurrent rhytides, jowling, and redundant skin. Permanent hypopigmentation was found in four cases (8.7 percent). CONCLUSIONS: The authors' early experience with the carbon dioxide laser was excellent, but after 1 year, they noticed lines of demarcation between treated and nontreated skin or persistent erythema. After 5 and 10 years, advantages were maintenance of good skin texture, ablation of fine wrinkles, and long-term correction of skin pigmentation. Disadvantages included permanent hypopigmentation of the mandible-neck junction, telangiectasia, and possible accentuation of skin redundancy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Myocutaneous and fasciocutaneous flaps can provide stable coverage of sacral defects. For neurologically intact patients, sensate innervated gluteal artery perforator flaps are the ideal solution. For patients with spinal cord injury, soft-tissue coverage can be performed with a variety of noninnervated flaps. METHODS: Between 1997 and 2004, the authors operated on 30 patients, 21 men and nine women, using bilateral gluteal distal fasciocutaneous and proximal musculocutaneous vertical vector rotation-advancement flaps, based on perforators with V-Y closures. The ages of the patients ranged from 32 to 74 years. Twenty-five patients had spinal cord injuries and all had sacral pressure sores extending to the bone. Three patients had low-grade malignant tumors (sacral chordomas); one had a sacral radiation-induced necrosis and two senile patients with large sacral defects had chronic renal failure and multiple sclerosis. No comorbidities were found in the sample. RESULTS: All the lesions were closed successfully. After follow-up of 1 to 8 years, 27 patients never required repeated surgery after wound complications. Three patients had infection and partial dehiscence of the flaps that healed after reoperation with V-Y readvancement; three died as a result of their primary diseases. CONCLUSIONS: This flap design has been used only in selected cases because, after its elevation, use of other gluteal-based flaps for future sacral reconstructions may not be possible. Five neurologically intact patients were found to have good sensitive protection of the flaps and adequate cushion contour after surgery because the authors conserved the gluteal arteries, perforators, and their corresponding sensory nerves.

RESUMO

El trauma constituye la principal causa de muerte en la población menor a 40 años. Un 25 por ciento de ellos, como consecuencia de una lesión torácica. El objetivo del presente trabajo es conocer y caracterizar biodemográficamente la población afectada por trauma toráxico que consulta en el Hospital Base de Osorno. Se analizaron retrospectivamente los registros clínicos de 94 pacientes con traumatismos torácicos, atendidos en el Servicio de Urgencias y Cirugía, entre enero 2003 y junio de 2004, cuyos diagnósticos de egreso fueron codificados según la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE 10). El 91 por ciento de los accidentados correspondió al sexo masculino, con un promedio de edad de 29,6 años (rango de 8 a 85 años). El 28 por ciento de los pacientes sufrió un traumatismo abierto, en el 96 por ciento por arma blanca. La complicación más frecuente fue un hemoneumotórax. El tratamiento en orden de frecuencia fue: médico (52 por ciento), pleurotomía percutánea con tubo (35 por ciento) y toracotomía (7 por ciento). Esta última, en el caso de hemotórax masivos y heridas penetrantes cardíacas. El período promedio de estada fue de 2.5 días, prolongándose a 5,9 días en pacientes con pleurotomía, 10 días en caso de toracotomía y hasta 14, cuando requirió estar en la Unidad de Terapia Intensiva. En un 23 por ciento hubo fracaso de la pleurotomía percutánea, correspondiendo en un 14 por ciento a drenaje inadecuado, un 5,8 por ciento a empiema pleural y un 3 por ciento a hemotórax retenido. En conclusión, nuestro manejo es similar al del medio nacional. Sin embargo, destaca una elevada frecuencia de morbilidad asociada a la realización de la pleurotomía percutánea.

RESUMO

Se presentan las variaciones ocurridas en la estructura de la demanda del servicio de urgencia de un hospital general de la Región Metropolitana, en el día de ocurrencia y siguientes al sismo de marzo de 1985. En la comparación con igual período del año anterior 1984, se evidencian diferencias en los grupos de patologías en cuyo origen tiene influencia el stress, tales como son los trastornos neurofuncionales, el síndrome anginosos, la hemorragia digestiva alta y el asma bronquial, siendo estas diferencias estadísticamente significativas. A la inversa las patologías de consulta habitual en un servicio de urgencia, y cuya frecuencia o agravación no tienen relación con el stress, no experimentaron variación significativa a raíz del terremoto comparadas con su ocurrencia en fecha similar del año anterior. Se analizan también las variaciones de las patologías relacionadas al stress en términos de sexo y edad, destacándose el predominio de consultantes mujeres afectadas por trastornos neurofuncionales y neurológicos. Se señalan la importancia de la información obtenida en la administración de los recursos de atención de salud en situaciones de emergencia como la en referencia y la posibilidad de preparar equipos profesionales para afrontar las exigencias particulares de la demanda en casos de catástrofes
