Reduction mammaplasty by central pedicle flap with short submammary scar

Reduction mammaplasty was performed in 30 patients by combining the central pedicle flap method with the short submammary scar (3-S) technique to avoid the common drawbacks of currently popular dermoglandular procedures. Reduction was accomplished by using perforating vascular branches from the pectoralis major muscle and its fascia supplying the nipple and breast parenchyme instead of the subdermal plexus. The central vascular pedicle supplying the nipple-areola complex was preserved. Only the periphery of the breast parenchyme was resected circumferentially, with the exception of the inferolateral portion, so as not to injure the sensory nerve. The remaining breast parenchyme was preserved in an inverted cone shape. The nipple-areola complex was safely transposed with great freedom, and the amount of resection was accurately adjusted for symmetry. No cases of nipple-areola complex sensory change occurred postoperatively, and lactation is possible because of preservation of the lactiferous ducts. The length of postoperative scars was reduced by using the short submammary scar technique. We believe this combined method is ideal in patients requiring resections ranging from 200 to 600 g per breast with good skin elasticity and moderate degree of ptosis.Presented at the Sixth Asian Pacific Congress of the International Confederation for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, in Seoul, Korea, October 1993.

面部瘢痕整形手术后胶布减张治疗疗效观察

目的:探讨使用免缝胶布对伤口减张制动的方法和治疗效果。方法:对62例面部瘢痕或痣切除手术患者,随机分组,45例为治疗组,术后5天拆线,拆线当天开始使用免缝胶布。胶布垂直跨越伤口线粘贴,使创缘处于无张力状态。17例为对照组,未使用免缝胶布。术后6个月对瘢痕进行临床评分,治疗组与对照组对比,统计分析。结果:62例患者伤口均一期愈合,治疗组37位(82%)、对照组4位(23%)患者瘢痕恢复至成熟期,没有痒或刺痛的主观症状,瘢痕颜色淡、平坦、质地软;治疗组5位(11.1%)、对照组13位(76.5%)患者瘢痕增宽,有痒或刺痛的症状,瘢痕颜色红,突出皮面。结论:免缝胶布可以有效地减轻伤口两侧张力,减少瘢痕增生,是一种瘢痕术后重要的辅助治疗。

Mechanobiology and force transduction in scars developed in darker skin types

BACKGROUND: Scarring is a complex process involving many cell types, cytokines and biological pathways including mechanobiology. Some subtle mechanical properties of skin can be assessed by measuring the speed of ultrasound shear wave propagation. The orientation of abnormal skin tension forces can be visualized, particularly in darker skin types, using dermoscopy showing distinct patterns of rete ridges' conformation. AIM: To assess some mechanobiological features of scars in darker skin types. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Large atrophic and hypertrophic surgical scars were examined on the trunk of 35 darker skin subjects. The surrounding skin was used as a comparator. Dermoscopic aspects were recorded. Resonance running time measurements (RRTM) were performed using a shear wave propagation device (Reviscometer). They were performed in four specific directions at given angles with regard to the long axis of the scar. The minimum, maximum and mean RRTM values were recorded at each site. RESULTS: Dermoscopy revealed patterns of melanin deposits in scars distinct from the normal honeycomb network seen in the surrounding skin. Hypertrophic scars showed a patchy pattern of large macular melanoderma dispersed in a lighter background. In these cases, low RRTM values were obtained with little variations according to the orientation of the measurements. By contrast, atrophic scars showed a streaky laddering melanotic pattern under dermoscopy. Higher RRTM values were often obtained, particularly in the transversal direction of the scars. Mechanical anisotropy was greater in the atrophic scars compared with the normal skin. DISCUSSION: Darker skin types represent a model for visualizing the main orientation of the epidermal rete ridges. A correlation was found between the pattern of melanized rete ridges of scars and the main orientation of the intrinsic forces in the skin.

糖皮质激素及异烟肼预防食管碱性腐蚀伤后瘢痕狭窄的实验研究

实验家犬采用Ｄａｖｉｓ食管碱性腐蚀伤模型，结果显示：甲基强的松龙治疗组，狭窄段食管的管径和食管的顺应性均明显大于对照组，而胶原含量及图象分析瘢痕组织中胶原纤维的密度均显著低于对照组，表明甲基强的松龙确有控制食管腐蚀伤后瘢痕狭窄的作用。但异烟肼组所测得的上述指标，均显著优于甲基强的松龙组，说明异烟肼预防食管腐蚀伤后瘢痕狭窄的效果优于甲基强的松龙，且其不良反应小，可以长期应用。无论甲基强的松龙或异烟肼，如同时应用青霉素均可加强治疗效果。
