Serious Complications of the Percutaneous A1 Pulley Release: Case Reports and Literature Review
In this study, however, we report cases of patients who developed complications after undergoing percutaneous A1 pulley release at local clinics. A total of six patients visited our hospital for infectious complications after percutaneous A1 pulley release. Various sequelae such as damage to normal structures, insufficient procedure, and tissue necrosis were observed during the exploration. A retrospective study was conducted to identify the cause and trend of the observed complications by instruments (HAKI knife or needle). In the HAKI knife group, there was a tendency for damage to normal structures, while in the needle ...

Unilateral Platysma Muscle Rupture as an Effect of Using a Hard Wooden Block for Facial Massage
Arch Plast Surg. 2024 Feb 7;51(1):27-29. doi: 10.1055/a-2175-8052. eCollection 2024 Jan.ABSTRACTFacial massages are frequently performed to achieve a feeling of freshness, rejuvenation, skin tightening, and delayed onset of wrinkles. However, vigorous massages can induce unexpected symptoms. Here, we present a case of a woman who complained of an asymmetric facial appearance and a mass-like lesion following a long-term facial massage intervention. A facelift incision was performed. Platysma muscle rupture was observed intraoperatively, which was then repaired. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a vigorous facial...

The Square-Plus Flap: A Modification to Release Long Postburn Scar Contractures
Arch Plast Surg. 2024 Feb 7;51(1):126-129. doi: 10.1055/a-2189-9767. eCollection 2024 Jan.ABSTRACTThe square flap method has been successful in releasing contracture bands at various body regions. However, the original square flap method alone may not be efficient in releasing long contracture bands. We, therefore, proposed an extended design to the traditional design, which is called the "square-plus flap." A 4-year-old girl presented with a postburn web-like contracture band over the right axilla. We marked a square flap technique at the center of the contracture band and then two additional Z-plasties were placed on bot...

Hybrid Lymphovenous Anastomosis Surgery Guided by Intraoperative Mesenteric Intranodal Lymphangiography for Refractory Nontraumatic Chylous Ascites: A Case Report
This article introduces a case of a 22-year-old female patient with an underlying lymphatic anomaly who presented with refractory chylous ascites after laparoscopic adnexectomy for ovarian teratoma which aggravated after thoracic duct embolization. Ascites (>3,000 mL/d) had to be drained via a percutaneous catheter to relieve abdominal distention and consequent dyspnea, leading to significant cachexia and weight loss. Two sessions of hybrid lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery with intraoperative mesenteric lymphangiography guidance were performed to decompress the lymphatics. The first LVA was done between inferior m...

Donor-Site Morbidity Analysis of Thenar and Hypothenar Flap
Conclusion Despite the limited number of participants, higher donor morbidity in general pain, neuropathic pain, and scar formation was noted in the Thenar free flap compared with the Hypothenar free flap. However, no difference in overall patient satisfaction was found between the two groups.PMID:38425867 | PMC:PMC10901602 | DOI:10.1055/a-2168-4771 (Source: Archives of Plastic Surgery)

Improvement of Shoulder Motion in Two-Stage Dual-Plane Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction followed by Radiation Therapy through Delayed Prepectoral Conversion
Conclusion Shoulder exercises in irradiated patients who underwent subpectoral reconstruction were improved by delayed prepectoral conversion using an ADM inlay graft. It is recommended that subpectoral reconstruction not be ruled out due to concerns regarding muscle contracture and shoulder morbidity in radiation-planned patients with poor mastectomy skin flaps.PMID:38425848 | PMC:PMC10901588 | DOI:10.1055/s-0043-1775591 (Source: Archives of Plastic Surgery)

Clavicle Fracture Site Surgical Contouring: A Case Report
Arch Plast Surg. 2024 Feb 7;51(1):67-71. doi: 10.1055/s-0043-1775880. eCollection 2024 Jan.ABSTRACTClavicle fractures are frequent injuries accounting for approximately 4% of all fractures in adults with about 35% occurring in the shoulder region among which midshaft fractures are the most common (>66%). Nonsurgical management is the treatment of choice for most clavicle fractures; however, poor functional and aesthetic outcomes may result from nonunion, symptomatic malunion, and aesthetic impairment which are the most common complications. A young woman was referred to our clinic for a "Step Deformity" resulting after ...

"Cohesiveness of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers": Evaluation Using Multiple Cohesion Tests
Conclusion Although there are no definite standardized tests to evaluate the cohesion of hyaluronic acid fillers, our proposed tests showed similar results for different hyaluronic acid filler products. Further studies are needed to evaluate the cohesion of hyaluronic acid fillers and determine the clinical use of this distinguishing characteristic for clinicians selecting the product of choice. Level of evidence statement: These data are Level IV evidence.PMID:38425852 | PMC:PMC10901597 | DOI:10.1055/a-2234-1019 (Source: Archives of Plastic Surgery)
