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.

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.

portada - EJPS - Vol. 35 (2012)Size of the nose varies in the different parts of the world, and perception of what is the aesthetically acceptable nose shows large differences depending on the ethnic background, type of the society, gender and age. Nose which is generally larger than the average nose in a given society, particularly regarding the height of its nasal bridge, could be defined as a prominent nose.

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Despite rapid growth, gluteal fat transplantation is an operation in search of science and a teachable technique. Long operating times, tedious syringe transfers, inability to shape the recipient site, and the risk of fat embolism all headline as impediments to clinical adoption of the procedure. Expansion vibration lipofilling is a syringe-free surgical strategy that is a logical extension of Separation, Aspiration, and Fat Equalization (SAFELipo). In expansion vibration lipofilling, there is simultaneous disruption of recipient-site connective tissue, internal expansion using exploded-tip cannulas, and backfilling of these spaces with roller pump–propelled fat.
