Management Strategies for Diastasis Recti
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 147-154 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1661380Diastasis recti is a relatively common condition in which there is a midline abdominal bulge that can affect a variety of individuals. The etiology and diagnosis is well understood and optimal management depends on the degree of severity. Patients at high risk for diastasis recti include multiparous women, obese patients, and those with multiple previous operations. Diagnosis includes clinical examination and assessment of symptoms. Physical characteristics include a midline abdominal bulge without a fascial defect. Classification systems are based on...

Lateral Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 141-146 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1666801Lateral abdominal wall defects, while rare, present a more challenging problem than commonly encountered ventral defects due to the complexity of the anatomy, physiologic forces, and impact of muscle denervation. The lateral abdominal wall encompasses a large surface area ranging from the costal margin superiorly to the iliac crest inferiorly and from the linea semilunaris anteriorly to the paraspinous musculature posteriorly. The ratio of muscle to fascia/aponeurosis is much higher, which makes repair through muscle tissue versus fascia less secure. ...

Management of the Open Abdomen
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 127-132 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1666802Management of the abdominal catastrophe requires a multidisciplinary approach. The plastic surgeon is a key member of the surgical team assisting in the creation of a durable, functional anatomic abdominal wall reconstruction. Plastic surgeons must be familiar with the concepts and pathophysiology related to the open abdomen, techniques for temporary abdominal closure, and when such techniques are appropriate to implement. In this article, the authors provide a review of the open abdomen concept, which practicing plastic surgeons and trainees may find...

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction: An Integrated Approach
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 107-119 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1667062Abdominal wall reconstruction has undergone substantial evolution over the last few decades. The optimal method of repair should be tailored to each patient's unique condition; however, a general approach that integrates four major factors can be applied as a conceptual framework to most clinical scenarios. Major factors to be considered include selection of mesh material, mesh inset position and technique, selective component separation, and management of soft tissue. These topics are inextricably intertwined in the sense that each can have specific ...

Review of Eyelid Reconstruction Techniques after Mohs Surgery
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 095-102 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1642058Mohs micrographic surgery achieves high cure rates while preserving healthy tissue making it the optimal treatment for skin cancer. The goals of eyelid reconstruction after Mohs surgery include restoring eyelid structure and function while attaining acceptable aesthetic results. Given the variety of eyelid defects encountered after Mohs surgery, a thorough understanding of the complex eyelid anatomy as well as an in-depth knowledge of the numerous reconstructive techniques available are required to accomplish these reconstructive goals. In this articl...

Scalp and Forehead Reconstruction
This article reviews reconstructive options including secondary intention, primary closure, skin grafting, allografts, tissue expanders, and local, regional, and free tissue transfers, among others in the surgical management of forehead and scalp defects. The reconstructive surgeon should be familiar with these techniques and be able to use them when indicated, based on the size, shape, and location of defects.

Approach to Reconstruction of Cheek Defects
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 084-089 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1642640The cheek is the largest facial unit with a prominent position on the face. Trauma, burns, and the resection of skin cancers constitute common sources of injury, potentially resulting in defects that, through natural healing, produce noticeable scarring. Surgical repair focuses on the reformation of three-dimensional geometries, proper establishment of symmetry, and the minimization of color and texture discrepancies to the surrounding. Defects located in this region may extend to the orbital, nasal, or buccal units and cause unique structural and fun...

Approach to Reconstruction of Nasal Defects
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2018; 32: 075-083 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1642639The nose is the most central and anterior projecting facial feature. Therefore, the presence of a defect is easily noticeable to the untrained eye. Return of the defect to the original form is an achievable end goal of reconstruction, necessitating appropriate reformation of three-dimensional geometry, proper establishment of symmetry, and excellent color and texture match to the adjacent structures. Regarding its physiological importance, disruption of the normal function may cause respiratory obstruction and contribute to patient distress. To achiev...
