Epidemiology of plastic surgery trauma in people with associated drug and alcohol dependence: developing guidelines for optimal treatment
We describe the challenges and
epidemiology of injuries in this group and suggest an algorithm for optimal management. A retrospective study was carried
out of medical records of people with drug and alcohol problems treated in the plastic surgery unit between January 2004 and
December 2007 inclusive is presented. Exclusion criteria: (1) elective admissions, (2) previous, but not current drug or alcohol
use, (3) a short history of excessive alcohol intake, (4) isolated burn injuries, and (5) no notes available. Injuries were
sustained by 77 people. Males (64) were more commonly referred than females (13), with a mean age of 37 years (20â65) at presentation.
Delayed presentation (17/77) and non-compliance with treatment (16/77) was common. Only six patients were employed, nine ......

Enhanced Eyelashes: Prescription and Over-the-Counter Options
Abstract Women have long strived to possess long, thick, and dark eyelashes. Prominent eyes and eyelashes are often considered a sign
of beauty and can be associated with increased levels of attractiveness, confidence, and well-being. Numerous options may
improve the appearance of eyelashes. Mascara aims to temporarily darken, lengthen, and thicken eyelashes using a combination
of waxes, pigments, and resins. Artificial eyelashes can be adhered either to the dermal margin or to individual eyelashes.
Individuals may even use eyelash transplantations to improve the appearance of their eyelashes. The unique properties of eyelashes
(e.g., relatively long telogen and short anagen phases compared with scalp hairs, slow rate of growth, and a lack of influence
by androgens) may al......

Multidisciplinary Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2010; 24: 331-334DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1263075ABSTRACTHead and neck cancer remains a significant cause of morbidity worldwide. Multimodality treatment is often the only way to achieve improved function, quality of life, and survival, calling for a multidisciplinary team approach, particularly in view of the rapid advances being made in various fields. The roles of the head and neck surgeon and reconstructive surgeon are discussed, together with the input afforded by specialists in areas such as diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, medical oncology, and gene therapy. Telemedicine is of importance in centers where multidisciplinary expertise is not available.[...]© Thieme Medical PublishersGet connected:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source......

Nutrition in Head and Neck Cancer Patients
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2010; 24: 325-330DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1263074ABSTRACTAnorexia and cachexia frequently complicate the late stages of malignancy and can be a prominent feature of early disease. The resulting weight loss significantly affects the morbidity and mortality of the cancer patient. A fundamental understanding of nutrition and the pathophysiology of cancer cachexia will aid in diligent treatment decisions to achieve optimal results. The pathophysiology of cancer cachexia is discussed, together with methods of nutritional assessment, nutritional requirements, and postoperative nutritional support. The advantages and disadvantages of the various modes of parenteral and enteral feeding are presented, together with information about enteral feeding in the home.[...]© Thieme ......

Functional and Aesthetic Outcome Enhancement of Head and Neck Reconstruction through Secondary Procedures
The objective of this article is to provide insight into how to prevent undesirable functional and aesthetic outcome after the initial procedure and also to provide solutions for enhancement of functional and aesthetic outcome with secondary procedures. Functional and aesthetic outcome enhancement is discussed in relation to the individual structures within the oral cavity, for the mandible, and for facial reconstruction. Normal prerequisites for all individual structures are described, and key points for restoration of these functional and aesthetic issues are proposed. In addition, further suggestions to improve suboptimal results after initial reconstructive surgery are presented. Understanding the function and aesthetics of the area to be reconstructed will allow appropriate planning a......

Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Defects of the Head and Neck
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2010; 24: 299-308DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1263071ABSTRACTPatients afflicted with head and neck cancer, traumatic injuries to the head and neck, or those with congenital or developmental defects benefit from multidisciplinary team management. The head and neck region participates in complex physiologic processes that can often be impeded by these circumstances. Evaluation of the patient by the maxillofacial prosthodontist can assist the other members of the team in providing treatment planning options for the patients. Intraoral defects arising from these circumstances can be treated with prosthodontics that serve to assist with speech, swallowing, and to some degree mastication. If chemotherapeutic or radiation modalities are also used to treat the head and neck, ass......

Postoperative Care and Monitoring of the Reconstructed Head and Neck Patient
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2010; 24: 281-287DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1263069ABSTRACTReconstruction of head and neck patients using free tissue transfer is perhaps the most challenging of areas in the human body. Although complications are inevitable in a percentage of patients, it is good postoperative care and monitoring that determines the success or failure of the reconstruction and also permits early salvage of a failing free flap. Teamwork and cooperation among members of the reconstructive team are critical. Here we review the significance of clinical care and monitoring of reconstructed head and neck patients in the intraoperative and postoperative periods. We also review different techniques and strategies for flap monitoring and anticoagulation used for free tissue transfers.[...]© T......

Onlay Bone Grafts in Head and Neck Reconstruction
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2010; 24: 255-261DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1263067ABSTRACTBone grafts are used in a variety of clinical situations and can be divided into two categories: treatment of bone gaps (inlay bone grafting) and bone projection (onlay bone grafting). Cortical grafts are useful in situations requiring immediate mechanical strength. These grafts can survive with or without complete revascularization or resorption and are primarily used by plastic surgeons in the treatment of bone volume deficiency. Cancellous grafts, in contrast, have no mechanical strength and therefore require additional support to bridge bone defects. Thus, they are used primarily for the treatment of bone gaps and in general revascularize quickly, resorb completely, and stimulate significant new bone format......

[Free-flap head and neck reconstruction failures: Predictive factors and management.]
CONCLUSION: After a free flap failure, surgeons should determine subsequent treatments after a reconsideration of the need of a second free flap, an analysis of the cause of the first flap failure and an evaluation of local and general conditions. In selected patients, second free flap has a high success rate.

[An oxycephaly deformation corrected with a fat tissue transplant.]
We present the case of a North African adult woman with a craniocephaly (oxycephaly) typical of the region. Her morphologic anomaly was never officially diagnosed. The patient suffered esthetic but no functional impairment from the oxycephaly. She had no headaches or visual impairment. She refused the standard treatment, cranial osteotomy (forehead reshaping), and desired a less-invasive procedure. We corrected the receding forehead with the help of a tissue (fat) transplant (lipostructure((R))). The midface was lifted in an endoscopic procedure using ISSE APTOS suspensions. Three years later, the result is fine and stable. Many techniques exist to correct this deformity; but the lipostructure((R)) initiated by Coleman is a method to correct the oxycephaly with minimal trauma.

Deliberate self-harm: the St Andrewâs experience
Abstract Deliberate Self-Harm (DSH) resulting in multiple cuts to the forearms and wrists is an increasingly common problem in the
UK, providing a regular source of referrals for hand trauma services in the UK. It requires the input of both the mental health
services and appropriate surgical services and frequently long-distance transfers to regional hand trauma centres. In providing
for a minimum standard of care, as stipulated by the UK Department of Health in 1984 (Department of Health and Social Security
1984), for this often behaviourally challenging subset of patients, recommendations were made that all DSH patients have a mental
health assessment prior to discharge. The care of such patients is frequently labour intensive in its demands on nursing staff
demanding sk......
