Bone Grafts, Bone Substitutes, and Orthobiologics: Applications in Plastic Surgery
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 190-199 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1693020As reconstructive needs often extend past the soft tissue alone, a plastic surgeon must also be well versed in the methods of bony reconstruction. Understanding of the basic science of fracture healing and the biochemical mechanisms of the different bone grafts, bone substitutes, and orthobiologics is essential to selecting among the many different options available to the modern plastic surgeon. This review provides a broad overview of these different options and the specific applications for plastic surgeons based on anatomic location. [...] Thieme ...

Platelet-Rich Plasma: Principles and Applications in Plastic Surgery
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 155-161 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1693400Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autogenously harvested liquid platelet concentrate extracted from a patient's peripheral blood that contains higher than baseline concentrations of growth factors and cytokines. This innovative new technology has demonstrated great promise in the field of plastic surgery, and its use has been evaluated in several clinical settings including wound healing, hair restoration, and skin rejuvenation. The goal of this article is to explain the biology behind PRP and to review the basic principles involved in its preparation....

Principles and Applications of Fat Grafting in Plastic Surgery
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 147-154 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1693438Autologous fat transplantation has become increasingly popular in recent years. Its biocompatable properties and availability made it a widely used treatment modality for soft tissue augmentation and volume replacement in both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. Multiple protocols and clinical applications have been described in the literature, with wide variations in the harvesting, processing, and injection techniques. In this review, the authors will discuss the basic principles and clinical applications of fat grafting in plastic and rec...

Complications and Treatment of Delayed or Inadequately Treated Nasoorbitoethmoid Fractures
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 138-142 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1685474Delayed or improper repair of nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures can lead to debilitating outcomes including diplopia, epiphora, nasal obstruction, facial asymmetry, and poor cosmesis. As such, NOE fractures should be repaired promptly and properly to prevent these unwanted sequelae. Treating patients with delayed, untreated, or inadequately reduced NOE fractures is challenging due to scarring and contracture. Saddle nose deformity, telecanthus, enophthalmos, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and soft-tissue scarring are often encountered in the secondary...

Prosthetic Reconstruction of Orbital Defects
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 132-137 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1685479Orbital and craniomaxillofacial defects, in general, are best approached preoperatively by a multidisciplinary team with a clear reconstructive plan in place. Orbital defects result from a myriad of underlying diseases and injuries, and reconstruction after orbital evisceration, enucleation, or exenteration can pose a challenge to the reconstructive team. Reconstruction of orbital injuries with orbital implants and prostheses can lead to acceptable aesthetic outcomes, and the reconstructive surgeon should be familiar with current orbital implants and ...

Soft Tissue Microvascular Reconstruction of Orbital Exenteration Defects
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 125-131 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1685480The main goal of head and neck reconstruction is the restoration of form and function. Oncologic surgery makes this process more complex, as the preplanned defect can be very different from its intraoperative counterpart. This emphasizes the role of preoperative planning and a diverse reconstructive “tool box” that can accommodate a variety of complicated defects. The other reconstructive goals are determined by the patient with the aid of an interdisciplinary team. While multiple local and regional reconstructive options are available, free tissu...

Regional Reconstruction of Orbital Exenteration Defects
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 120-124 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1685475Aggressive disease such as invasive fungal infections or malignancies may necessitate orbital exenteration. The defects of orbital exenteration are often complex involving adjacent structures. Rehabilitation of the orbital exenteration defect poses unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon. Various options have been described ranging from secondary intention to microvascular free tissue reconstruction. Here the authors review local/regional options for reconstruction of orbital exenteration defects. [...] Thieme Medical Publishers 333 Seventh Av...

Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 114-119 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1685478There are a myriad of approaches and surgical options for removal and treatment of skull base diseases. While, historically, large open approaches have been preferred, several endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques are now available that preserve intraoperative visualization and surgical success while minimizing morbidity and recovery times. Herein, the authors review common open, minimally invasive, and endoscopic approaches to the anterior skull base.

Orbital Trauma
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 106-113 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1685477The orbit is contained within a complex bony architecture with overlying soft tissue that involves many important anatomical structures. Orbital trauma is a frequent cause of damage to these structures. The authors review the literature on reconstructive techniques focusing on fractures of the orbital rim, orbital roof, orbital floor, medial orbital wall, and naso-orbito-ethmoid complex. A thorough literature review was conducted using PubMed analyzing articles relevant to the subject matter. Various search terms were used to identify articles regardi...
