Major surgical body contouring procedures have several inherent drawbacks, including hospitalization, anesthetic use, pain, swelling, and prolonged recovery. It is for these reasons that body contouring through noninvasive and minimally invasive methods has become one of the most alluring areas in aesthetic surgery. Patient expectations and demands have driven the field toward safer, less-invasive procedures with less discomfort, fewer complications, and a shorter recovery. In this article, the current minimally invasive and noninvasive modalities for body contouring are reviewed.
Local skin flaps are used to close defects adjacent to the donor site. They are classified according to their method of movement: flaps that advance from its base to the defect (V-Y, Y-V, single-pedicle, and bipedicle advancement flaps) and flaps that move on a pivot point (rotation, transposition, and interpolation flaps). Despite its frequent use, there is not a unique name for V-Y rotation advancement flap; moreover, there is not a flap class called “rotation advancement” in the textbooks. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using “PubMed” and “Google Scholar” in December 2013.
La música ha acompañado a la medicina desde los albores de nuestra existencia. Los papiros de Kahum, en el Antiguo Egipto, fueron el primer testimonio que hizo referencia a los potenciales beneficios sobre la salud que aportaba la música . Posteriormente, personalidades griegas tan importantes como Herófilo o Pitágoras establecieron que la música suponía un vínculo entre el alma y la armonía del universo, y contribuía de muy diversas formas a la salud y bienestar de los seres humanos.
The Royal College of Surgeons’ new exhibition, War, Art and Surgery , brings together two radically different yet complementary responses to war.
