Waist Remodeling without Incision, with Ultrasound-guided Monocortical Fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rib remodeling is a surgical technique for waist shaping in women and men. However, one of the main patient complaints is the scar. We aimed to describe a scarless, ultrasound-guided rib remodeling (RibXcar) technique that assessed the degree of angular variation of the fracture by ultrasound and the variation in waist measurement and patient satisfaction through a survey.

Methods

The RibXcar technique was performed in 30 women aged 18-35 years in Peru, Colombia, and Mexico between October and December 2022 by three board-certified plastic surgeons trained in ultrasound and in this technique. The plastic surgeons measured costal angles before and immediately, 1 month, and 3 months after the surgery by ultrasound, as well as the waist in the same site and at these time points. Similarly, patient satisfaction was surveyed 3 months after the surgery, in which questions were asked about body aesthetics and the puncture site.

Results

Ultrasound angular measurements before and immediately, 1 month, and 3 months after the surgical procedure were 168.00, 158.00, 160.00, and 160.43 degrees in the 10th rib, 170.50, 160.50, 152.50, and 163.50 degrees in the 11th rib, and 172.00, 162.00, 154.00, and 165.00 degrees in the 12th rib, respectively. The satisfaction survey showed that patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results of both the shape of the waist and the puncture site.

Conclusions

RibXcar surgery maintains the angular variation over time. Similarly, waist measurements show a sustained reduction. Three months postoperatively, the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results of the waist and the puncture site.

Project description:BackgroundPleural disease is a common clinical condition, and some patients present with a small amount of pleural effusion or no pleural effusion. It is difficult to diagnose such patients in clinical practice. Medical thoracoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pleural effusion with unknown origin, and guidelines recommend that pneumothorax should be induced in such patients before medical thoracoscopy examination. However, the process of inducing pneumothorax is tedious and has many complications. Our study was conducted to clarify the value of thoracic ultrasound combined with medical thoracoscopy in patients with small amounts or without pleural effusion to simplify the process of medical thoracoscopy examination.MethodsIn this retrospective study, we included patients who were assigned to complete medical thoracoscopy. Successful completion of medical thoracoscopy in patients was regarded as letting the endoscope get into the pleural cavity and completion of the biopsy. Finally, we analyzed the value of preoperative ultrasound in patients without or with small amounts of pleural effusion.ResultsSeventy-two patients were finally included in the study. Among them, 68 patients who underwent ultrasound positioning of the access site successfully completed the examination and four patients failed the examination. Fifty-one cases showed no fluid sonolucent area at the access site, of which 48 cases had pleural sliding signs at the access site, and 47 patients successfully completed the examination; 3 cases without pleural sliding signs at the access site failed to complete thoracoscopy. In 21 cases, the fluid sonolucent area was selected as the access site, and all of them successfully completed thoracoscopy.ConclusionMedical thoracoscopy is one of the methods to confirm the diagnosis in patients with pleural disease with small amounts or without pleural effusion. The application of thoracic ultrasound before medical thoracoscopy can be used for the selection of the access site. It is possible to replace pneumothorax induction before medical thoracoscopy.
