Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 30 disecciones de cadáveres con el objetivo de identificar las variaciones anatómicas de la región anterior superficial del cuello en relación a la platismoplastia medial submentoniana. Las principales variables estudiadas fueron: el músculo platisma, las venas yugulares anteriores, las glándulas submandibulares, así como las venas faciales en su segmento superficial a nivel glandular y las arterias faciales en su punto de cruce por el reborde mandibular. Se aplicó el test de correlación de Pearson (r) en correspondencia a estas variables.
Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most commonly performed and most challenging operations in facial plastic surgery. The modern facial plastic surgeon utilizes many instruments in performing this procedure. Many of these instruments take their names from the pioneers who invented or designed them. Although meritorious, the recent trend in medicine to move away from eponyms in lieu of descriptive names should not come at the price of forgetting history. Although this communication does not seek to provide a comprehensive history of rhinoplasty or of its pioneers, our aim is to mention several of the salient contributing figures upon whose shoulders we stand and whose eponymous instruments we use commonly in rhinoplasty.
Free tissue transfer is a rarely indicated procedure in burns. However, in well selected cases it may play a pivotal role in optimizing outcomes in both primary and secondary burn reconstruction. We undertook a systematic review, based on the PRISMA statement for systematic reviews, of all published literature relating to the use of free flaps in acute burns and in secondary reconstructive procedures.
En el presente artículo se abordó el estudio de las bolsas adiposas palpebrales inferiores contemplando la importancia de dos ejes fundamentales como son, en la práctica, la blefaroplastia estética y el aspecto puramente anatómico.
Outcomes of patients with burns have improved substantially over the past two decades. Findings from a 2012 study in The Lancet showed that a burn size of more than 60% total body surface area burned (an increase from 40% a decade ago) is associated with risks and mortality. Similar data have been obtained in adults and elderly people who have been severely burned. We discuss recent and future developments in burn care to improve outcomes of children.
Silver is a naturally occurring element. Similar to other metals, the ionized form of silver (Ag +1 ) has known antimicrobial properties. A number of wound dressings incorporating silver ion or silver compounds have recently been developed and marketed. In addition, the antimicrobial effects of silver are currently being promoted in consumer products such as clothing and household appliances. The present use of silver in medical and consumer products has prompted concerns for potential toxicity and ecological effects, including induction of microbial resistance to antibiotics. These concerns ignore the fact that silver has been used for medicinal purposes for several thousand years.
In his March 3, 2014 New Yorker cover cartoon “Ready for His Closeup”, Barry Blitt depicts Oscar ® , the statuette, as a plastic surgery patient. Labels from head to toe highlight the procedures that Oscar ® has had ranging from his scalp reduction to his pedestal augmentation. The only procedure that Oscar ® needed but did not have was a penile reconstruction.
