Superior pedicle autoaugmentation mastopexy: a review of 34 consecutive patients.

Authors:
Peter Kim Kenneth K Kim Laurie A Casas

Aesthet Surg J 2010 Mar;30(2):201-10

Northwestern University, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Background: The ptotic breast deformity results from two synergistic forces: involution of breast parenchyma leading to a loss of volume, along with a converse laxity of the skin envelope, which becomes inelastic and accommodating. As the breast tissue descends inferiorly on the chest wall with gravity, there is an apparent volume loss in the upper pole and the central breast, and the lower pole becomes fuller and often wider.

Objectives: The authors propose a technique whereby the superior pedicle vertical mammaplasty technique originally described by Lassus is modified to include transposition of glandular tissue to restore central mound projection while simultaneously narrowing the lower breast base and raising the inframammary crease.

Method: From 2003 to 2007, 34 patients underwent a superior pedicle autoaugmentation mammaplasty. Ages ranged from 22 to 47 years. The mean follow-up period was 24 months. Patients were selected preoperatively based on the presence of wide, low-lying breasts lacking central projection. In all cases, the patients expressed a desire to have a more youthful breast without the presence of an implant. The breast tissue usually retained in an inferior breast reduction was elevated on a superior dermal pedicle blood supply and transposed into a prepectoral pocket under the central breast. The medial and lateral pillars were then sutured together to narrow the breast base.

Results: All patients tolerated their procedure well. Two patients developed seromas that were percutaneously drained in the office. All 34 patients stated that they were very satisfied with the shape and size of their breasts postoperatively. No patient desired subsequent breast augmentation.

Conclusions: Modifying the vertical-scar mastopexy originally described by Lassus and later refined by Lejour, Hall-Findlay, and de la Plaza et al, the authors have created a dermoglandular extension of the superior pedicle that can be transposed behind the nipple-areolar complex. This restores central mound projection while also narrowing the lower breast base and raising the inframammary crease. In carefully selected patients with low-lying, wide breasts who do not desire breast augmentation without a prosthetic, this technique can be employed to reliably recreate a more youthful breast shape.

Posterior-only debridement, bone fusion, single-segment versus short-segment instrumentation for mono-segmental lumbar or lumbosacral pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis: minimum five year follow-up outcomes.

Authors:
Hong-Qi Zhang Yu-Xiang Wang Chao-Feng Guo Ming-Xing Tang Shao-Hua Liu Ang Deng Qile Gao

J Orthop Surg Res 2022 Aug 12;17(1):388. Epub 2022 Aug 12.

Department of Spine Surgery and Orthopaedics, Xiangya Spinal Surgery Center, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Xiang Ya Road 87, Changsha, China.

Background: Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO), which is a potentially life-threatening condition and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, is a cause of back pain that can lead to neurologic deficits if not diagnosed in time and effectively treated. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of posterior single-segment and short-segment fixation combined with one-stage posterior debridement and fusion for the treatment of mono-segmental lumbar or lumbosacral PVO.

Methods: Charts of all patients with mono-segmental lumbar or lumbosacral PVO were treated by single-stage posterior debridement, bone graft fusion, and pedicle screw fixation from April 2012 to January 2016. Read More

The Influence of Smoking on Healing of Scaphoid Non-union after a Vascularized Pedicle Bone Flap Operation: A Review and Meta-analysis.

Authors:
Ioannis Konstantinidis Panagiotis Christidis Panagiotis Konstantinou Lazaros Kostretzis Iosafat Pinto Polichronis Papadopoulos Tryfon Ditsios Georgios Palechoros Konstantinos Ditsios

Orthop Rev (Pavia) 2022 31;14(3):35446. Epub 2022 May 31.

2nd Academic Department of Orthopedic Surgery, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, General Hospital of Thessaloniki "G. Gennimatas", Greece.

Background: The purpose of this study is to compare the vascularized bone flaps (VBF) that are used in operations for scaphoid non-union in smokers and non-smokers and to scrutinize if the better biological potential of the VBFs can counteract the negative influence of smoking on healing.

Materials And Methods: Our study included articles published until 2016, with scaphoid non-union patients who were operated on with a VBF or a VBG.

Results: Eighteen articles met eligibility criteria with 335 non-smokers and 136 smokers totally. Read More

25 Years of a Standardized Technique for Living Donor Intestinal Transplantation: A Systematic Review.

Authors:
Rainer W G Gruessner

Transplant Proc 2022 Aug 3. Epub 2022 Aug 3.

Department of Surgery, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, New York City, New York. Electronic address:

A safe, reproducible and standardized surgical technique for intestinal procurement and transplantation from a living donor (LD) was introduced in 1997 and has been used in the majority of cases since. The key principles are: 1. procurement of 180-200 cm of distal ileum in adults (about 60-150 cm in pediatric recipients depending on age and weight) on a vascular pedicle comprising the LD ileocolic vessels or terminal branches of the superior mesenteric vessels, 2.

Department of Spine Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, China.

Background: Hybrid fixation techniques including the both modified cortical bone trajectory (MCBT) and traditional trajectory (TT) at the L4 and L5 lumbar segment are firstly proposed by our team. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate and provide specific biomechanical data of the hybrid fixation techniques including the MCBT and TT.

Methods: Four human cadaveric specimens were from the anatomy laboratory of Xinjiang Medical University. Read More

Superior facet joint violation between open and minimally invasive techniques in lumbar fusion surgery: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Authors:
Po-Chun Liu Yi Lu Hsi-Hsien Lin Yu-Cheng Yao Ming-Chau Chang Shih-Tien Wang Po-Hsin Chou

J Chin Med Assoc 2022 Jul 29. Epub 2022 Jul 29.

School of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC.

Background: Superior facet joint violation (FJV) is a potential risk factor for adjacent segment disease following lumbar fusion surgery. We sought to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare screw-related superior FJV rates between the open and different minimally invasive (MI) techniques -- fluoroscopy-based, 3D-image navigation, and navigation with robotic assistance -- in adult lumbar fusion surgery.

Methods: We searched original articles comparing the rates of screw-related FJV between the open and different MI techniques in adult lumbar fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from inception to September 2021. Read More
