    Adipose-derived stem cells for soft tissue reconstruction.

    No full text
    In soft tissue repair, there are several surgical options such as nondegradable, inert, synthetic, biodegradable implants or autologous tissue transplantation. However, the potential of using autologous adult stem cells derived from fat tissue is quickly becoming a clinical reality. The possibility of using an abundant source of extraneous tissue as a soft tissue implant has significant implications for plastic and reconstructive surgeons. This strategy would be particularly useful after tumor removal or trauma. The ability of adult stem cells derived from adipose tissue (termed adipose-derived stem cell) to proliferate and differentiate in vivo or in vitro is actively being studied owing to the potential implementation in reconstructive surgery. This review describes innovative research strategies and discusses the first clinical studies involving adipose-derived stem cells as a motif for soft tissue reconstruction

    Orthoplastic approach to leg and foot trauma

    The lower limb trauma is a set of complex and challenging clinical situations that need an excellent knowledge of both orthopedic and plastic surgical techniques. It is mandatory that the medical doctor in charge of treating the trauma knows all the steps of the healing process, from the correct diagnosis when the patients arrive in the emergency room, to the final rehabilitation process. Imaging and clinical initial evaluation must be performed in the emergency room. A correct diagnosis of the entity of the trauma can only be done after the debridement of all the non-viable tissue in the operating room. The damage control of the fracture and of the soft tissue allows to post pone the correct reconstruction of a few days. The final soft tissue reconstruction must be done in synergy with the treatment of the bone fracture

    A novel method to medicate local cv flaps in nipple reconstruction

    Besides surgical technique related variables, post-operative care after nipple reconstruction with CV flaps is important for an satisfactory final result. We present a novel method to prepare a protective and sealing medication in order to minimize traumas to the new nipple. We found the silicone cap plunger of a 50cc syringe suitable for our purpose. It was applied over a non-adherent dressing and TNT gauze to avoid decubitus and fixed it with a steri-strip before covering with a sticking plaster. Analyzing 118 nipples casistic, reconstructed with a CV flaps technique, between January 2011 and June 2012 and medicated with the presented technique in the last six months considered, we noticed a reduction in partial loss of flap vitality and nipple reabsorption. The main advantages of the dressing technique we propose are the ease and rapidity in the preparation and availability of all materials used in every operation room or outpatient clinic. We believe that our technique of medication may reduce traumas to delicate vascularization of the new nipple, avoiding the partial or total loss of vitality and reabsorption of the flaps

    Reconstructive management of degloving trauma of male external genitalia using dermal regeneration template: A case report

    Traumatic injuries of male external genitalia are rare and not usually life threatening; however, they can have psychological repercussions. The reconstructive management of these lesions is challenging and articulated. We report the case of a 38-year-old farmer suffering from a degloving wound on the external genitalia. The first reconstructive step used to treat the wound was the incorporation of a dermal regeneration template (Integra (R)) and accordingly partial-thickness skin grafts and local flaps. The follow-up 16 months after the first treatment was satisfying; sexual function had been restored. (C) 2013 British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon
