Necrotizing fasciitis in aesthetic surgery: a review of the literature

Marchesi, A. et als.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, April 2017, Volume 41, Issue 2, pp 352–358

portada - Aesthetic Plastic Surgery - Vol. 41; No. 2 (2017)Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, potentially fatal, infective complication that can occur after surgery. Diagnosis is still difficult and mainly based on clinical data. Only a prompt pharmacological and surgical therapy can avoid dramatic consequences. There are few reports regarding NF as a complication after aesthetic surgical procedures, and a systematic review still lacks.

Making sense of implant «profile» in breast augmentation

Dinah, W; Rohrich, R.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open: Post Editor Corrections: May 25, 2017

portada - PRS Golbal Open - Vol. 1; No. 3 (2013)The increasing variety of breast implants has led to their classification into «profile» types to guide implant cataloguing and selection. Implant «profile» describes the overall silhouette of the implant. It represents a permutation of all 3 dimensions of the implant: base diameter, projection, and volume. Implant «profile» is not the same as implant projection. Implant projection is a quantifiable linear measurement of the anterior-posterior dimension of the implant, whereas implant «profile» is a vendor-driven assessment that currently lacks universal standardization. Until «profile» assessments are standardized across vendors, it behooves us to be cognizant of their limitations as primary variables used to guide implant selection.

The measured effect magnitude of co-morbidities on burn injury mortality

Knowlin, L. et als.
Burns, 2016-11-01, Volúmen 42, Número 7, Pages 1433-1438

portada - Burns - Vol. 40; No 6 (2014)The ability to better prognosticate burn injury outcome is challenging and historically, most center use the Baux or revised Baux score to help prognosticate burn outcome, however, the weighted contribution of comorbidity on burn mortality has traditionally not been accounted for nor adequately studied. We therefore sought to determine the effect of comorbidities, using the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on burn mortality.

Correction of tuberous breast deformity: a retrospective study comparing lipofilling versus breast implant augmentation

Brault, N. et als.
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2017-05-01, Volúmen 70, Número 5, Páginas 585-595

portada - JPRAS - Vol. 70; No. 5 (2017)Breast implants and, more recently, autologous fat grafting are the two most common treatments used to correct tuberous breast deformity (TBD). The post-surgical quality of life between the two techniques is not well demonstrated. This study aimed to compare satisfaction and health-related quality of life in patients affected by TBD between these two techniques.
All TBD patients operated between January 2008 and May 2015 were retrospectively identified, and only those treated with implants or lipofilling were included. Satisfaction was evaluated at least 6 months after surgery with the postoperative Breast-Q ® augmentation module.

Rohrich, R.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – April 2017 – Volume 139 – Issue 4 – p 1021–1026

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Today, social media have become an integral part of the fabric of our lives, our society, and, of course, medicine, including plastic surgery—academically, personally, and professionally. Social media have impacted the doctor-patient relationship, the marketing of practices and academic journal articles, and the perception of physicians by society. Much has changed in the social media sphere over the past 13 years.

U.S. epidemiology of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Doren, E. L. et als.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – May 2017 – Volume 139 – Issue 9 – p 1042–1050

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinctive type of T-cell lymphoma that arises around breast implants. Although rare, all cases with adequate history have involved a textured breast implant. The objective of this study was to determine the U.S. incidence and lifetime prevalence of breast implant–associated ALCL in women with textured breast implants.
This study demonstrates a statistically significant association between textured breast implants and breast implant–associated ALCL. Although women with a textured breast implant have a low risk of developing breast implant–associated ALCL, the current U.S. incidence is significantly higher than that of primary ALCL of the breast in the general population.
