Long-term speech outcome after anterior distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla in patients with cleft lip and palate
J Plast Surg Hand Surg. 2023 Sep 28;58:110-114. doi: 10.2340/jphs.v58.12308.ABSTRACTAdvancement of the maxilla may increase the distance between the soft palate and the posterior pharyngeal wall in patients with cleft lip and palate, implying a risk of velopharyngeal dysfunction. The aim was to evaluate long-term speech outcome in a consecutive series of patients treated with distraction osteogenesis (DO). Fourteen out of the 16 patients agreed to participate. A long-term speech follow-up was performed 1.5 to 13.5 years after DO. For two participants, audio recordings before DO were missing, and for another one, it was inc...

Conservative treatment of traumatic finger amputations using negative-pressure wound therapy
J Plast Surg Hand Surg. 2023 Sep 27;58:115-118. doi: 10.2340/jphs.v58.18351.ABSTRACTReplantation is widely regarded as the first choice of treatment for finger amputations. However, if the fingertip of a traumatic finger amputation is missing after an injury, the following procedures are often performed to reconstruct this portion: flap surgery, stump surgery, or conservative treatment, including occlusive dressings. To our knowledge, no existing English literature reports using negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to treat traumatic finger amputations. We postulated that NPWT may be applied as a conservative treatment f...
