portada - EJPS - Vol. 35 (2012)Burns are a major health problem worldwide. In some countries, they are the fourth leading cause of death in trauma patients. Every year, more than 200,000 deaths occur because of diverse types of burns, and the majority of these deaths occur in low-income countries. The incidence of burn mortality depends on both patient factors (age, gender, and comorbidities) and burn factors (depth and total burn surface area (TBSA)). Mortality prediction for burn patients is important not only to determine the prognosis of individual patients but to assess the performance of the burn institute and the quality of the health care the patients receive. Many mortality or survival prediction models have been developed, modified, and validated. The abbreviated burn scoring index (ABSI) is one of the most commonly used scores for assessing patients’ mortality. It was reviewed, modified, and validated in this study.

The segmental paraspinous and intercostal blood vessels form the blood supply and represent the pivot point for the reverse latissimus dorsi flap.
Aim of this study was to confirm the exact location of the blood supply and the most caudal pivot point to assess the suitability of the reverse latissimus dorsi flap for pedicled reconstructions of the trunk as well as sacral area.

The use of implants for breast reconstruction began over four decades ago, with implants initially placed in the prepectoral space. Concerns arose regarding the high incidence of capsular contracture and complication rates. With the introduction of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), plastic surgeons are again considering the advantages of prepectoral implant placement. A systematic review was conducted to examine complication profiles in prepectoral breast reconstruction alone versus prepectoral with ADM or mesh.

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)As the United States continues to be more ethnically and racially diverse, it is important for the rhinoplasty surgeon to have an appreciation and understanding of nasal variations that exist to plan for and execute ethnically congruent results. The nasal analysis is a critical component of the patient evaluation, which has been used as a tool by surgeons to identify deviations from anatomical norms or canons. In this article, the authors describe common nasal anatomical variations that exist between ethnic groups as a guide for nasal analysis. Understanding these variations will facilitate and help define important cultural aesthetics, which can be used to plan for rhinoplasties in a diverse patient population.

Burn & Trauma. Vol. 3; 18 (2015)Burns are a significant cause of trauma, and over the years, the focus of patient care has shifted from just survival to facilitation of improved functional outcomes. Typically, burn treatment, especially in the case of extensive burn injuries, involves surgical excision of injured skin and reconstruction of the burn injury with the aid of skin substitutes. Conventional skin substitutes do not contain all skin cell types and do not facilitate recapitulation of native skin physiology. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting for reconstruction of burn injuries involves layer-by-layer deposition of cells along with scaffolding materials over the injured areas. Skin bioprinting can be done either in situ or in vitro.

portada Burns Open - Vol. 2; No. 3 (2018)Sepsis is a life-threatening organ-dysfunction condition caused by a dysregulated response to an infectious condition that can cause complications in patients with major trauma. Burns are one of the most destructive forms of trauma; despite the improvements in medical care, infections remain an important cause of burn injury-related mortality and morbidity, and complicated sepsis predisposes patients to diverse complications such as organ failure, lengthening of hospital stays, and increased costs. Accurate diagnosis and early treatment of sepsis may have a beneficial impact on clinical outcome of burn-injured patients.

portada - Cirugía Plástica Iberolatinoamericana_mediumDebido al alto costo y a la dificultad de adquisición de las matrices dérmicas acelulares u otros substitutos biológicos en nuestro medio para reforzar el polo inferior del músculo pectoral en reconstrucción mamaria inmediata, diferida o al sustituir el expansor por un implante definitivo, utilizamos matrices dérmicas autólogas (MDA) obtenidas de cicatrices abdominales, cesáreas previas, abdominoplastias o de la mama contralateral, a fin de evitar la extrusión protésica y preservar la marcación del surco submamario.

portada - PRS Global Open - Vol. 6; No. 3 (2018)La radioterapia ayuda a la curación o a palear a miles de pacientes con enfermedades malignas. Sin embargo, los efectos de la radioterapia sobre los tejidos adyacentes se ven muy afectados. El injerto graso ha ido ganando reconocimiento como una herramienta para revertir los cambios fibróticos de la piel y el rejuvenecimiento de la piel afectada. Los autores hacen una revisión del tema.
