A reconstructive algorithm for deep sternal wound coverage: the Cologne-Merheim approach

Christian Weinand, Truong Quang Vu Phan, Walter Perbix, W. Xu, more

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 95-104

Background Several options are known for treatment of the sternal wounds. However, various wound diameters need various flaps. Patients and Methods 135 patients with sternum osteomyelitis from 2006 to 2010 of our institution were analyzed in a retrospective study. After using various flaps from 2006 to 2009 we developed an algorithm based on wound width, using pectoralis muscle flaps or the latissimus...

Cutaneous B cell lymphoma in a patient with leprosy

Leonor Rios, Luís Azevedo, Rita Guedes, Armindo Pinto, more

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 119-124

Authors report the case of a male patient treated in the Dermatology Department for cutaneous leprosy, and then sent to the Plastic Surgery Department for excisional biopsy of a giant shoulder nodule unresponsive to antibacilar chemotherapy and interpreted as a leprosy reaction. The extemporary histological result was of a cutaneous lymphoma and the defect was reconstructed with two random regional...

Subungal malignant eccrine porocarcinoma: An unusual presentation

A. Wong, C. Hughes, X. Luu, A. Ricci, more

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 131-133

We describe the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with a lesion consistent with paronychia on his right middle finger. Biopsies were suspicious for squamous cell carcinoma, and the patient was taken to the operating room for definitive excision. Frozen section revealed microscopic extension into the distal phalanx. The dorsal half of the phalanx was excised, which then had a negative margin...

Psychological outcomes following surgical excision of facial skin cancers

J. Caddick, J. Stephenson, L. Green, G. Spyrou

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 75-82

Background Patients undergoing surgery for basal and early squamous cell carcinomas are rarely offered psychological support as their malignancies have a low mortality. Nonetheless, 80 % of non-melanoma skin cancers occur in the head and neck, rendering both the malignancy and subsequent surgical scar clearly visible. This study was designed to quantify the social and emotional impact of facial skin...

The eutrophic rhytidoplasty

Marcelo Daher, Alan Rodriguez Muñiz

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 87-94

Background Patients submitted to rhytidectomy usually relay their desire for briefer surgical procedures and a shorter post-operative period with faster recovery. In view of this, a technique in which the skin of the cervico-mandibular region is not undermined but only detached by blunt dissection was developed. Methods A retrospective study of the senior author’s experience in eutrophic rhytidoplasty...

Efficacy of percutaneous ethanol sclerotherapy for venous malformation in lower extremities: a retrospective review of 21 cases

Hiroshi Furukawa, Satoru Sasaki, Akihiko Oyama, Emi Funayama, more

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 105-110

Background Venous malformations (VM) of lower extremities have characteristic symptoms, especially swelling, pain at rest or with dependence, or in the morning, or with exertion. Sclerotherapy has been applied and has been showed to alleviate the associated signs and symptoms. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of ethanol sclerotherapy for VM of lower extremities. Methods The 21 patients...

Orbital exenteration for the treatment of advanced periocular skin cancer

Arif Turkmen, Metin Temel, Ayla Gokce, Mehmet Bekerecioglu

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 69-74

Background Orbital exenteration is a surgical procedure which typically involves removal of the entire contents of the orbit including the periorbit, appendages, eyelids and, sometimes, a varying amount of surrounding skin. This operation is reserved for the treatment of potentially life-threatening malignancies arising from the orbit, paranasal sinuses or periocular skin. We have reviewed the cases...

The rational of forehead lifting in patients with chronic facial paralysis

Birgit Stark, Camilla Minberger, Åsa Edsander-Nord, Filip Farnebo

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 83-86

Background The incidence of permanent facial sequels in patients with Bell’s palsy is about 30 % and results in impaired mimic expression of both midface and forehead in varying degrees. Even at rest, most patients experience an imbalance of their facial features. In this article, static correction of brow imbalance was evaluated in patients with sequels after unilateral facial palsy. Methods Thirty-one...

A precise excision technique for schwannomas

Muhammad Ali Hussain, Hardeep Jhattu, Atisha Pandya, Queenie Chan, more

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 111-114

Schwannomas (or neurilemmomas) are the most common primary neural tumours occurring in the hand and wrist, arising from cells of the Schwann sheath. Th ey are benign and slow-growing, but nerve compression symptoms may arise if diagnosis is delayed and tumour growth progresses unchecked. The tumour is typically enclosed by a well-defined epineural capsule, which arises in close proximity to adjacent...

Combined use of homologous fascia lata graft and acellular dermal substitute for the repair of a complex abdominal wound

Cesare Tiengo, Alex Pontini, Bruno Azzena

European Journal of Plastic Surgery > 2013 > 36 > 2 > 125-129

Full-thickness abdominal wall defects complicated with bowel exposure require a stable reconstruction that may be achieved with mesh repair, muscle rotational flaps, pedicled flaps, freeflaps or any combination of these techniques. We present a case report of a complex abdominal wound caused by a gunshot trauma in an elderly patient. His general health condition and local disruption of the left rectus,...
