Skin bioprinting: the future of burn wound reconstruction?

Varkey, M. et als.
Burns & Trauma. 2019; 7:4

Burn & Trauma. Vol. 3; 18 (2015)Burns are a significant cause of trauma, and over the years, the focus of patient care has shifted from just survival to facilitation of improved functional outcomes. Typically, burn treatment, especially in the case of extensive burn injuries, involves surgical excision of injured skin and reconstruction of the burn injury with the aid of skin substitutes. Conventional skin substitutes do not contain all skin cell types and do not facilitate recapitulation of native skin physiology. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting for reconstruction of burn injuries involves layer-by-layer deposition of cells along with scaffolding materials over the injured areas. Skin bioprinting can be done either in situ or in vitro.

From traditional biochemical signals to molecular markers for detection of sepsis after burn injuries

Muñoz, B. et als.
Burns, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2019, Pages 16-31

portada Burns Open - Vol. 2; No. 3 (2018)Sepsis is a life-threatening organ-dysfunction condition caused by a dysregulated response to an infectious condition that can cause complications in patients with major trauma. Burns are one of the most destructive forms of trauma; despite the improvements in medical care, infections remain an important cause of burn injury-related mortality and morbidity, and complicated sepsis predisposes patients to diverse complications such as organ failure, lengthening of hospital stays, and increased costs. Accurate diagnosis and early treatment of sepsis may have a beneficial impact on clinical outcome of burn-injured patients.

Uso de matriz dérmica autóloga en reconstrucción mamaria, un recurso accessible

Suárez Oyhamburú, D; Escobar Ugarte, R.
Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. vol.44, no.2. abr./jun. 2018. pp.169-176

portada - Cirugía Plástica Iberolatinoamericana_mediumDebido al alto costo y a la dificultad de adquisición de las matrices dérmicas acelulares u otros substitutos biológicos en nuestro medio para reforzar el polo inferior del músculo pectoral en reconstrucción mamaria inmediata, diferida o al sustituir el expansor por un implante definitivo, utilizamos matrices dérmicas autólogas (MDA) obtenidas de cicatrices abdominales, cesáreas previas, abdominoplastias o de la mama contralateral, a fin de evitar la extrusión protésica y preservar la marcación del surco submamario.

Vitamin D in burn-injured patients

Rech M. et als.
Burns, 2019-02-01, Volúmen 45, Número 1, Páginas 32-41

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.

The use of tumescent technique in mastectomy and related complications. A meta-analysis

Siotos, Ch. et als.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: January 2019 – Volume 143 – Issue 1 – p 39–48

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.

Color doppler ultrasonography targeted reconstruction using pedicled perforator flaps. A systematic review and meta-analysis

Mossad Ibrahim, R. et als.
European Journal of Plastic Surgery, October 2018, Volume 41, Issue 5, pp 495–504

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.

Shoulder edge anterior adduction contracture in pediatric patients after burns: anatomy and treatment. A new approach

Grishkevich, V. M; Grishkevich, M; Menzul, V.
Burns Open, July 2018, Volume 2, Issue 3, Pages 130-138

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.
