portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Recently, many studies have demonstrated pleotropic effects of vitamin D, including immune modulation and cardiovascular system activity. Sufficient vitamin D concentrations and supplementation of vitamin D may be of benefit in burn-injured patients. Low 25(OH)D has been observed in nearly all pediatric and most adult burn patients.

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Postoperative skin necrosis in surgical patients is costly to hospitals and health care providers. Tumescent dissection technique is commonly used in mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction, as it helps reduce blood loss; however, it may increase the risk of mastectomy skin flap necrosis. In this context, the authors have conducted a systematic review of the literature to perform a meta-analysis of the relationship between tumescent technique in mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction and complication rates.

portada - EJPS - Vol. 35 (2012)Flaps are increasingly popularized in reconstructive surgery and there is need to test and increase their reliability. Color Doppler ultrasound has been stated to be valuable in flap planning. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature of Color Doppler ultrasound targeted pedicled perforator flaps and provide information on outcomes and complication rates.

Burns OpenBurns of anterior shoulder joint surface and neighboring areas produce shoulder edge adduction contracture and scar deformity, slowing down the development of upper limbs in pediatric patients. Therefore, surgical reconstruction is indicated as early as the contracture is formed. Currently used surgical techniques, based on counter transposition of the local triangular flaps and skin transplants, do not solve the problem because of incomplete release of the contractures. Repeated operations are often performed. The scar deformity also remains.

portada - Cirugía Plástica Ibero - Latinoamericana_hugeEl colgajo sural de flujo reverso ha ganado gran popularidad, pero algunos autores describen como complicación frecuente la necrosis parcial o total del mismo. En este artículo, se presentan una serie de modificaciones técnicas propuestas por los autores para aumentar la viabilidad del colgajo cuando es necesario diseñarlo en su máxima extensión en cobertura de grandes defectos del pie.

Plastic & Reconstructive SurgeryFebruary 2017 – Volume 139 – Issue 2 – p 348e–357e

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Patients with a small breast volume and a relative large lumpectomy volume are at risk of developing severe breast deformity and asymmetry following breast conservation, presenting a unique surgical challenge.
A series of patients undergoing immediate reconstruction by means of an oncoplastic breast augmentation technique following breast conservation are described. The technique includes local tissue rearrangement and bilateral subpectoral breast augmentation with implants of different sizes and shapes, immediately after lumpectomy for a malignant tumor.

portada - PRS Global Open - Vol. 6; No. 3 (2018)Over the years, the choice of recipient vessels for free flap autologous breast reconstruction has shifted from the thoracodorsal to the internal mammary vessels due to ease of flap inset and predictability of anatomy. However, thoracodorsal vessels are still great recipient vessels, and can be useful, especially in the previously failed or staged autologous breast reconstruction. In this study, we present our experience using thoracodorsal or serratus vessels for profunda artery perforator flaps.

portada - PRS Global Open - Vol. 6; No. 3 (2018)The usage of antibiotics and antiseptics to washout the breast pocket, or to soak the breast implant during surgery, has come under scrutiny in recent times. Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention give no recommendation for or against the usage of antibiotics in this regard. They do however offer a weak recommendation for washing tissues with iodophor. This systematic review aims to investigate the efficacy and impact of such topical antibiotic or antiseptic usage in reducing infection rates.

El recto abdominal es un músculo que consta, generalmente, de 3 inserciones tendinosas transversas. La lipoescultura de alta definición apunta a delinear la musculatura abdominal, sin embargo, una de sus dificultades es determinar mediante la anatomía de superficie el número de metámeros presentes.
En este artículo se describieron las variaciones en el número de metámeros del músculo recto del abdomen en la población chilena mediante análisis de tomografía computarizada de abdomen y pelvis, así como se determinó si existe un patrón para la marcación quirúrgica de los metámeros.
