Project description:The cleft nasal deformity is a complex challenge in plastic surgery involving the skin, cartilage, mucosa, and skeletal platform. Ever since Blair and Brown first described the intricacies of the cleft pathology in 1931, the appropriate approach has been extensively debated in the literature with respect to timing, technique, and extent of surgical intervention. In this article, the authors review the literature and summarize the various modalities for achieving a successful rhinoplasty in the patient with a cleft nasal deformity.

Project description:A cauliflower ear is an auricular deformity characterized by thickened soft tissue and cartilage. A subperichondrial hematoma or fluid collection causes this malformation. As a result of being cut off from the perichondrium blood supply, the ear cartilage becomes ischemic, developing scar tissue, fibrous tissue, new cartilage overgrowth, or necrosis beneath the skin, resulting in a permanent alteration in the shape of the external ear resembling that of a cauliflower. To properly fix defects, the surgeon must grasp ear anatomy and be familiar with a variety of reconstructive alternatives. It requires meticulous attention, due to the intricate design of the ear. Simple and complex techniques for treating cauliflower ears have been developed. However, in severe cases, simple techniques are often insufficient. As a result, complex techniques such as replacement with an auricular prosthesis or implant or autogenous costal cartilage framework were developed. We present a case of a 25-year-old man who experienced a severe cauliflower ear as a result of an infection during adolescence. The patient was concerned about the shape of his ear and was depressed. Ear reconstruction was accomplished using the costal cartilage framework engraved according to a three-dimensional cutting guide for surgical planning. Costal cartilage is chosen to provide a framework for reconstruction as it is strong and rigid, and its curved shape is similar to that of the external ear. There were no complications after surgery. The ear projection and shape have performed admirably. The patient was pleased with the outcome and felt more confident after surgery.

Project description:Reconstruction of the nasal tip after the excision of the dermoid cyst is difficult, especially if the size of the dermoid is large. Tip reconstruction using Interdomal sutures of alar cartilages and auricular cartilage graft has been used in such cases. We share a new method to manage the nasal tip defect following excision of nasal dermoid, using an absorbable gelatin sponge. A 13 years old female presented with a swelling tip of the nose for the past 2 years. The CT scan revealed a dermoid cyst at the tip of the nose over the alar cartilage with prominent buckling of the cartilages. The Dermoid cyst was excised through an open rhinoplasty incision. There was a defect of 2.2 cm diameter at the tip of the nose with deformed alar cartilages. A piece of absorbable gelatin sponge was folded, cut according to the shape of the cavity, and used to fill the cavity. The skin was draped over the cartilage and gelatin sponge. The post-operative period was uneventful. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and satisfied with a nice contour of the nasal tip.

Project description:BackgroundNasal deformities accompanying unilateral incomplete cleft lip have minor skeletal and soft tissue deficiencies compared with deformities associated with unilateral complete cleft lip. Extended dissection and surgical incisions (often required for nasal deformities in complete cleft lip) are not recommended to address deformities accompanying incomplete cleft lip. The purpose of this study is to describe an innovative method involving a rotational composite flap for nasal repair in patients with unilateral cleft lip.MethodsSince 2016, 49 consecutive patients with unilateral incomplete cleft lip have undergone primary anatomical repair of accompanying nasal deformities. The technique involves a skin incision along the marginal and intercartilaginous borders to create a V-shaped composite flap consisting of vestibular skin and alar cartilage. Rotational mobilization of the composite flap creates a triangular raw surface laterally, which is closed by advancement of the vestibular skin.ResultsThis innovative method, which is based on the use of a rotational composite vestibular flap, achieves proper symmetry of the repaired nose.ConclusionThe herein described composite flap rhinoplasty is a good surgical option, which provides a good overall nasal symmetry in patients with nasal deformities accompanying unilateral incomplete cleft lip.

Project description:Limb shortening due to structural bone loss in tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis is a concern that can negatively impact the patient's gait and weight-bearing. To aid in preventing the risk of limb shortening, the use of a femoral head allograft and intramedullary nail in tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis has been shown to successfully preserve limb length in patients with structural bone deficits. We present our technique using a femoral head allograft with a cup-and-cone reamer for the treatment of severe ankle and hindfoot deformity.

Project description:BackgroundNaviculectomy was originally described for resistant congenital vertical talus deformity but was later expanded to use in rigid cavus deformity. This study reviews the operative outcomes of complete excision of the navicular for recurrent deformity in the talipes equinovarus (TEV) population.MethodsAfter institutional review board approval, all patients undergoing naviculectomy at a single institution were identified. Clinical, radiographic, and pedobarographic data (minimum 2 years' follow-up) were reviewed.ResultsTwelve patients (14 feet) with TEV from 1984 to 2019 were included. All feet had minimum 1 prior operative intervention on the affected foot (mean age = 4.0 years, range 0.2-14.5), with 8/14 having at least 3 prior operative procedures. Complete navicular excision with concomitant procedures was performed in all patients (mean age = 11.7 years, range 5.5-16.1). Mean clinical follow-up from naviculectomy was 5.1 years (range, 2.2-11.2). During follow-up, 6 patients required subsequent surgery, most often secondary to pain and progressive deformity. One patient underwent elective below-knee amputation of the affected extremity. Of the remaining 11 patients, 7 of 11 reported continued pain and 8 of 11 maintained adequate range of motion at the ankle at the most recent follow-up.ConclusionClinical follow-up demonstrated deteriorating results in a large percentage of patients. The high rate of additional procedures and continued pain in the current series suggests that even as a salvage procedure, naviculectomy may not provide adequate results for patients.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series.

Project description:Cervical stenosis of the trachea caused by tracheotomy, tumor or induced by inflammatory disease can be treated by resection and anastomosis with good early and long-term results. Involvement of the ring cartilage makes the procedure technical demanding and increases the risk of morbidity. We describe our technique of laryngotracheal resection and reconstruction and compare the perioperative results with standard trachea resection. Between January 2005 and September 2018, we performed 92 standard cervical tracheal resections and 50 laryngotracheal resection including 6 procedures with widening of the ring cartilage. The resections were realized by direct anastomosis using dorsal flaps and/or interposition of rib cartilage in the posterior part of the ring cartilage. In one case intraoperative tracheotomy and intralaryngeal stenting was used. Patient records have been analyzed for perioperative data retrospectively. The main cause for stenosis or defect of the trachea and operation is preceding tracheotomy. Idiopathic stenosis, tumors and subglottic stenosis in Wegener disease are less common. Healing of the anastomosis was not disturbed in any patient. In two patients, bronchoscopic resection of granulation tissue was necessary. Tracheotomy in the course of treatment for intralaryngeal swelling or recurrent nerve palsy was necessary in 3 patients including one intraoperative tracheotomy for glottic stenting. Postoperative tracheostomy was closed in all patients within 3 months. Pulmonary complications and persistent recurrent nerve palsy occurred in 4 and 2 of the patients, respectively. Two patients died of pulmonary complications. The laryngotracheal resection is a relevant part of cervical tracheal surgery. It can be performed without significant elevated morbidity and is able to restore lung function and quality of voice.

Project description:Reconstruction of full-thickness alar defects is delicate. Small asymmetries are visible because of the central position of the nose. Different alar reconstruction techniques such as the nasolabial, bilobed, and composite grafts provide an excellent option to reconstruct alar skin and texture. However, these donor tissues will never perfectly match alar tissue in terms of color and contour. This report presents a case of a 56-year-old woman with alar asymmetry due to soft tissue loss of the right alar rim, para-nasal, and nasolabial groove as consequence of a severe trauma in the past. Scarring tissue, retractions, and suboptimal tissue quality on the right side of the face complicated a standard procedure. In this case, a novel reconstruction technique was planned for alar reconstruction. In a two-staged procedure, a well-perfused alar base flap from the contralateral side was raised to recreate the basal portion of the right lateral alar rim. Concomitantly a lip lifting procedure was performed to correct the inadequate incisal show. As result, perfectly matching skin color, texture, and correction toward alar and facial symmetry were realized. Satisfactory aesthetic outcome for the patient was achieved. The final result was evaluated 12 months postoperatively by the use of stereophotogrammetry technology.

Project description:Percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is the preferred therapy for pulmonary valve stenosis. However, the designs of the cylindrical balloons historically used for valvuloplasty have limitations, especially in patients who have large pulmonary annular diameters. The hourglass-shaped V8 Aortic Valvuloplasty Balloon may prove to be an effective alternative. The balloon has 2 large bulbous segments that are separated by a narrowed waist. The geometric shape is maintained throughout inflation, improving fixation and enabling broader leaflet opening. We present our first experience with the V8 balloon in 3 adults who had severe, symptomatic pulmonary valve stenosis. In addition to describing their cases, we detail our sizing technique for pulmonary valvuloplasty with the V8 balloon. Our successful results suggest that the V8 balloon is efficient and safe for balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in adults with severe pulmonary valve stenosis.
