Traditional Cambodian Medicine
In 2006 and 2007, the authors visited Siem Reap, Cambodia for eight weeks. To understand the spectrum of Cambodian healthcare, we investigated traditional medical practices and herbal medicines in addition to Western medical practice. Our hosts were English-speaking physicians and translators. At the provincial hospital medicine/surgical wards, government satellite clinics, pharmacies, and street vendors, we inquired about and observed Cambodian traditional medical practices. We supplement these observations with literature review. Traditional Cambodian medical practices are widely used. They share with Chinese medicine three explanatory models of disease: supernaturalistic theory, naturalistic theory, and maintenance of âÂÂhot/coldâ (âÂÂyin/yangâÂÂ) balance. Four forms of th......

Dermabrasion for Acne Scars During Treatment with Oral Isotretinoin
Oral isotretinoin is the criterion standard treatment for severe inflammatory acne associated with scar development. Atypical or exaggerated cicatrization related to oral isotretinoin was reported throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Dermabrasion for atrophic acne scar revision is not recommended 6 to 12 months from the end of oral isotretinoin treatment. To evaluate wound healing after localized dermabrasion in patients receiving oral isotretinoin. Interventional, prospective study involving seven patients taking oral isotretinoin to treat acne and with atrophic acne scars on the face. Manual dermabrasion was performed on all patients in an area of approximately 1 cm2, and a 6-month reepithelization follow-up by clinical evaluation was conducted. All patients presented normal cicatrization evo......

The Value of Preoperative Biopsy-Site Photography for Identifying Cutaneous Lesions
Dermatologic surgeons rely on several methods to identify surgical sites (patients and their spouses, diagrams of surgical sites, gauze dermabrasion, biopsy-site scars, and referring physician identification), but it is not uncommon for several weeks to pass before surgery, allowing biopsy sites to become inconspicuous with healing. Practicing in a culture in which medical lawsuits continue to soar, it is prudent for dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons to locate surgical sites precisely using the most accurate and irrefutable means to protect themselves against costly lawsuits. To determine the value of preoperative biopsy-site photography in accurately identifying surgical sites before Mohs micrographic surgery. Two hundred seventy-one surgical sites were evaluated in the study. Pati......

Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion
Facial plast Surg 2009; 25: 301-310DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1243078ABSTRACTDermabrasion and microdermabrasion are facial resurfacing techniques that mechanically ablate aged or damaged skin to promote reepithelialization. Although the act of physically abrading the skin is common to both procedures, dermabrasion and microdermabrasion employ different instruments and are distinct in their technical executions. Dermabrasion completely removes the epidermis and penetrates to the level of the papillary or reticular dermis, inducing remodeling of the skin's structural proteins. Microdermabrasion only removes the uppermost layer of the epidermis, accelerating the natural process of exfoliation. Both techniques can result in clinically significant improvements in the appearance of skin and may become ......

Treatment of Facial Scarring: Lasers, Filler, and Nonoperative Techniques
Facial plast Surg 2009; 25: 311-315DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1243079ABSTRACTMany techniques have been described to improve facial scars. In this review we address nonoperative strategies to manage facial scarring. Scar characteristics and anatomic location are discussed. The following nonoperative techniques are comprehensively examined: pulsed dye laser (PDL), subcision, fat transplantation, collagen injection, dermabrasion, steroid injection, and fillers. The PDL is advocated to flatten and decrease the volume of hypertrophic scars while improving texture and pliability. Dermabrasion is used to blend acne scars into the surrounding facial skin by subtly improving their contour. Fat transplantation, collagen, and filler injection is recommended in the treatment of acne depressed scars and traum......

Molecular Analysis of Aggressive Microdermabrasion in Photoaged Skin [Study]
Conclusions Microdermabrasion using a coarse diamond-studded handpiece induces a dermal remodeling cascade similar to that seen in incisional wound healing. Optimization of these molecular effects is likely the result of more aggressive treatment with a more abrasive handpiece.

Recontouring, Resurfacing, and Scar Revision in Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Residual disfigurement is a common problem for patients who have undergone skin cancer reconstruction. Restoring form and function in these patients is an artistic and technical endeavor. The efficacy of surgical scar revision, dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing is predicated upon the skin's innate ability to regenerate over time in response to mechanical, chemical, and thermal or ablative stresses. The patient and surgeon should be accepting of a process that is often gradual and may proceed in stages. Achieving proficiency with the secondary procedures for improving scars and local flaps may allow the motivated surgeon to mold an initially passable surgical result into an excellent one.

The surgical challenge of giant circumferential congenital naevi of the extremities: a 13-year follow-up of two cases
We present our experience in the
management of circumferential giant congenital melanocytic naevi involving the upper limb in one patient and lower limb in
another one. They were managed and followed up for 13 years. The lesion regenerated following dermabrasion in the first patient
and regenerated following tangential excision and split-thickness skin graft in both patients. Therefore, another approach
was used, full-thickness resection of the lesions and reconstruction with dermal regeneration template (Integraâ¢), followed
by ultrathin split-thickness skin graft. The last approach resulted in no recurrence during a 3-year follow-up. The complexity
of these lesions and the limitation of different surgical approaches have been highlighted. Full-thickness excision of the

Dysplastic nevus syndrome with development of multiple melanomas. A surgical concept for prophylaxis
A 58-year-old man presented in 2001 with dysplastic nevus syndrome with at least 300 nevi and about 100 clinically highly atypical nevi. Three melanomas had been excised by a private dermatologist within the past year. We then removed two additional melanomas. Between 2002 and 2003, 117 nevi which were atypical on dermatoscopy were removed; most by horizontal (shave) excision. Adequate clinical and dermatoscopic control was not feasible due to the large number of atypical nevi. In order to reduce the number of nevus cells, we treated test sites with both dermabrasion and split-thickness excision. The latter proved to be more efficient and was used to completely excise the skin of the back, as well as parts of the arms and chest in two sessions under general anesthesia. Wound healing was un......

Effect of one session of ER:YAG laser ablation plus topical 5Fluorouracil on the outcome of short-term NB-UVB phototherapy in the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo: a left–right comparative study
This study included 50 adult patients with a total of 65-paired symmetrical NSV lesions in different body parts. One side was treated with ER:YAG laser ablation, followed by 5FU application before simultaneous NB-UVB therapy of both sides for a maximum period of 4 months. The outcome was then evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. The overall response to therapy was better using the combination therapy. Fifty patients (78.1%) experienced a moderate-marked repigmentation response in the combination group compared with 23.4% in the mono-therapy group. The response was significantly higher when using the combination therapy in different body parts (P value is (Source: Photodermatology, Photoimmunology and Photomedicine)...

Nasal Reconstruction: An Overview and Nuances
This article provides an overview of nasal reconstruction with brief descriptions of subtle nuances involving certain techniques that the authors believe help their overall outcomes. The major aspects of nasal reconstruction are included: lining, support, skin coverage, local nasal flaps, nasolabial flap, and paramedian forehead flap. The controversy of the subunit reconstruction versus defect-only reconstruction is briefly discussed. The authors believe that strictly adhering to one principle or another limits one's options, and the patient will benefit more if one is able to apply a variety of options for each individualized defect. A different approach to full-thickness skin grafting is also briefly discussed as the authors propose its utility in lower third reconstruction. In general, ......

[Otophyma, zygophyma and giant rhinophyma: a rare association]
Authors: Blairvacq JS, Yachouh J, Calteux N, Schmit S, Goudot P
A patient, 64-year-old, is referred for the treatment of a giant rhinophyma. He refused any treatment during eight years. The interest of this case report is the size and the weight of the rhinophyma, the obstruction of the nasal airways and the resulting social disturbance. This exceptional clinical rhinophyma was associated with an otophyma, a zygophyma and ophthalmic disease. To our knowledge, this clinical presentation has never been reported before. The management of the rhinophyma and the otophyma was surgical excision, secondary healing followed by a full thickness skin graft associated to a fullface mechanical dermabrasion.
