There are many options for breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, and data on outcomes are greatly needed for both the patient and the care provider. This study aims to identify the prevalence and predictors of adverse outcomes in autologous breast reconstruction in order to better inform patients and surgeons when choosing a surgical technique.

The anatomy of the facial artery, its tortuosity, and branch patterns are well documented. To date, a reliable method of identifying the facial artery, based on surface landmarks, has not been described. The purpose of this study is to characterize the relationship of the facial artery with several facial topographic landmarks, and to identify a location where the facial artery could predictably be identified.

Carpue’s An Account of Two Successful Operations caused the rebirth of plastic surgery in 1816 over 200 years after the first plastic surgery book was written by Tagliacozzi. Tagliacozzi’s book was pirated with both authorized edition and unauthorized editions having been published in 1597. In his book, Carpue reviewed the literature including Tagliacozzi’s work. Carpue had Charles Turner, engraver-in-ordinary to the King prepare his books illustrations. Comparing Turner’s engraving with those in the original and pirated editions of Tagliacozzi’s book shows that Turner duplicated the pirated edition. The author discovered a pirated edition at St. Bartholomew’s Medical College Library in 1971 that was signed by Carpue and shows how by comparing the illustrations in it with those in Carpue’s book that this was the working copy used by Turner.

Spreader grafts (SPG) are widely used for different purposes in rhinoplasty procedures. However, selection of the size of the grafts, trimming and fixation often proved time consuming and difficult. We used an original method of placement of “free” SPG to improve both ease of placement and fine trimming of the grafts. To assess pertinence of this approach, we evaluated retrospectively our rate of correction of the middle third of the nose.

Autologous fat grafting is increasingly used in reconstructive surgery. However, resorption rates ranging from 25% to 80% have been reported. Therefore, methods to increase graft viability are needed. Here, we report the results of a triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial to compare the survival of fat grafts enriched with autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) versus non-enriched fat grafts.

Several companies offer anatomically shaped breast implants but differences among manufacturers are often misunderstood. The shell texture is a crucial parameter for anatomically shaped implants to prevent rotation and to decrease the risk of capsular contracture, even though concerns have recently been raised concerning the complications associated with textured breast implants. The aim of this study was to characterize differences in terms of texture, cell adhesion, shape, and stiffness between some commonly used anatomically shaped implants from three different manufacturers.

LA HABANA, 28 de enero de 2016 – I Aniversario de Cirugía Plástica y Caumatología
La necesidad de sumar esfuerzos para visibilizar nuestra especialidad, fue el mensaje de los doctores Pavel Reyes Rodríguez y A.C. Prada el pasado 28 de enero, al celebrar el primer año de la presencia de la especialidad Cirugía Plástica y Caumatología en la red de portales de Infomed.
Este sitio enfoca su trabajo hacia el perfeccionamiento del profesional, mientras otros solo lo hacen en la cirugía estética, puntualizó el Dr. Rafael Rodríguez Garcell, presidente de la Sociedad Cubana de Cirugía Plástica y Caumatología (SCCPC).
En el encuentro participaron miembros de la junta de gobierno, profesores, especialistas y residentes de la especialidad de la Capital y sirvió de espacio para realizar el balance anual de la sociedad.
El sitio de web de la SCCPC tiene como propósito innovar, romper paradigmas establecidos, facilitar la búsqueda y el acceso a información validada científicamente.
