Predictability of anthropomorphic measurements in implant selection for breast reconstruction: a retrospective cohort study

Riggio, E; Ardoino, I; Richardson, C; Biganzoli, E.
European Journal of Plastic Surgery, June 2017, Volume 40, Issue 3, pp 203-212

portada - EJPS - Vol. 35 (2012)Preoperative implant planning for breast reconstruction is often at risk of being changed perioperatively. This study examined which factors are associated with a change of implant selection.
Women who had unilateral two-stage breast reconstruction between 2002 and 2007 were studied. Inclusion criteria were photographic evidence of preoperative skin markings indicating breast dimensions and a selected implant model. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with a changed selection.

Barbed sutures for Aesthetic Facial Plastic Surgery: indications and techniques

Paul, M. D.
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2008-07-01, Volúmen 35, Número 3, Páginas 451-461

portada - Clinics in Plastic Surgery - Vol. 36 (2008)This article describes the indications and techniques related to the use of barbed sutures in facial aesthetic plastic surgery. The principle applications for barbed sutures in facial aesthetic plastic surgery are those involving lifts of the brow, midface, and the lower face and neck. Usually all three areas require surgical maneuvers to create a harmonious rejuvenation. Regardless of where in the face bidirectional barbed sutures are planned, five essential steps are needed: (1) making the incision or incisions, (2) dissecting soft tissue, (3) proximal anchoring, (4) deploying threads, and (5) molding soft tissue.

Indications and controversies in lipofilling for partial breast reconstruction

Delay, E; Guerid, S; Meruta, A. C.
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2018-01-01, Volumen 45, Número 1, Páginas 101-110

cov200hThe treatment of sequelae after conservative breast cancer treatment can be a challenge. Lipomodeling, although controversial in the beginning, is a safe technique that can help in the treatment of these deformities, without an important impact on the imaging surveillance. Depending on the severity of the deformity, one or several sessions of fat transfer can be required.

The antimicrobial spectrum of Xeroform ®

Barillo D. J. et als.
Burns, 2017-09-01, Volúmen 43, Número 6, Páginas 1189-1194

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Xeroform ® is a petrolatum-based fine mesh gauze containing 3% bismuth tribromophenate. Bismuth, similar to other metals, has antimicrobial properties. Xeroform ® has been used for decades in burn and plastic surgery as a donor site dressing and as a covering for wounds or partial thickness burns. Despite this, the antimicrobial spectrum of Xeroform ® remains largely unknown. We examined the in-vitro efficacy of Xeroform ® against common burn pathogens using zone-of-inhibition methodology in a commercial research facility.
