RESUMO

Introdução: Câncer de mama é o segundo tipo mais comum de câncer entre mulheres no Brasil. Estimam-se 59.700 casos novos de câncer de mama para o biênio 2018-2019. Reconstrução mamária é um procedimento seguro e vários procedimentos cirúrgicos são descritos para sua realização: técnicas conservadoras, retalhos de vizinhança, materiais aloplásticos, retalhos miocutâneos pediculados e microcirúrgicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os casos de reconstrução mamária pósmastectomia por câncer de mama, realizados em um período de 16 anos. Métodos: Foi realizada revisão de prontuários de pacientes submetidas à reconstrução mamária pós-mastectomia por câncer de mama, no período de janeiro de 2002 a dezembro de 2017. Resultados: No período analisado, 586 pacientes foram submetidas à reconstrução mamária. Em 160 pacientes a reconstrução mamária foi realizada com retalho miocutâneo do músculo retoabdominal (TRAM), 107 com técnicas conservadoras, 156 com retalho miocutâneo do músculo grande dorsal (RGD), 113 com próteses e 50 secundárias. Previamente a outubro de 2007, a porcentagem de pacientes submetidas a cirurgias bilaterais, somando-se TRAM e RGD, era de 30%, e a partir desse período a porcentagem passou para 83,3%. Houve algum tipo de complicação ou intercorrência em 203 (34,64%) pacientes operadas, totalizando de 335 complicações. Grande maioria apresentou intercorrências tratadas ambulatorialmente sem necessidade de reabordagem cirúrgica. Conclusão: Houve aumento da incidência de cirurgias bilaterais, fato atribuído ao aumento das mastectomias profiláticas na mama contralateral e aumento do número de reconstruções utilizando RGD em comparação com o TRAM, bem como o aumento significativo das reconstruções com implante de silicone.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women in Brazil. An estimated 59,700 new cases of breast cancer were reported in the 2018­2019 biennium. Breast reconstruction is a safe procedure, and various surgical procedures have been described, including conservative techniques and use of neighborhood flaps, alloplastic materials, and pedicled and microsurgical myocutaneous flaps. The objective of this study was to analyze cases of breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer performed over a period of 16 years. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer between January 2002 and December 2017. Results: Within the study period, 586 patients underwent breast reconstruction. Breast reconstruction was performed with a transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous muscle (TRAM) flap in 160 patients, with conservative techniques in 107 patients, with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) in 156 patients, with prostheses in 113 patients, and secondarily in 50 patients. Before October 2007, the proportion of patients who underwent bilateral surgeries with a TRAM flap and LDMF was 30%, and since then, the percentage has increased to 83.3%. One or more types of complications occurred in 203 patients (34.64%) who underwent surgery, with a total of 335 complications . Most outpatient complications did not require surgical reassessment. Conclusion: The incidence of bilateral surgery increased, which is attributed to the increase in the number of prophylactic mastectomies in the contralateral breast and in the number of reconstructions using a LDMF compared with that using a TRAM flap. A significant increase in the number of reconstructions with silicone implants was also observed.

RESUMO

Introdução: O melhor método para reconstruir uma unidade anatômica é substituir a área lesada pelos mesmos tecidos. Métodos: Três pacientes que apresentavam carcinomas basocelulares na pálpebra inferior foram submetidos à excisão, seguida de reconstrução imediata com a transposição em espessura total de tecido da pálpebra superior em um só tempo. Resultados: Os pacientes evoluíram quase sem complicações, as pálpebras mantiveram suas funções de fechamento total e proteção do globo ocular. Conclusão: O retalho se mostrou factível e é mais uma alternativa para reconstruir a pálpebra inferior.

Introduction: The best method to reconstruct an anatomical unit is to replace the injured area with the same tissues. Methods: Three patients with basal cell carcinoma in the lower eyelid underwent full-thickness lower eyelid excision, followed by immediate reconstruction with a single-stage fullthickness transposition of the upper eyelid tissue. Results: The patients had almost no complications, and the functions of total closure and protection of the eyeballs of the eyelids were maintained. Conclusion: The flap proved to be feasible and is an alternative choice for reconstruction of the lower eyelid.

RESUMO

Objectives: Severe pelvic deficiency presents a difficult problem in hip arthroplasty. Specifically, the goals are to restore the pelvic bone stock, place the acetabular component in the correct anatomical position, and optimize joint stability. Currently, many surgical techniques have been developed for prosthetic revision surgery for acetabular complex defects, but no consensus has been reached on the best treatment. The objective of this study was to review mid-term cases of severe bone defect (Paprosky type III) treated with a bone allograft and ring Bursch-Schneider anti-protrusion cage (BSAC). Methods: A retrospective consecutive series review of the first 23 complex acetabular reconstructions performed between 2006 and 2011 was conducted. The series included the learning curve of the procedure and a minimum 5-year follow-up. Conclusion: Our study confirmed the efficacy of using a frozen morselized allograft combined with a metal ring-type BSAC for acetabular reconstruction. The anatomical location of the center of rotation of the hip must be recovered for long-term success. In massive loosening cases, the anatomical center of rotation can only be restored by bone density reconstruction using a graft protected by a ring to improve the centering of the head. Level of Evidence IV, Case Series.

Objetivos: A deficiência pélvica severa apresenta um problema difícil na artroplastia do quadril. Especificamente, os objetivos são restaurar o estoque ósseo pélvico, colocar o componente acetabular na posição anatômica correta e otimizar a estabilidade da articulação. Atualmente, existem muitas técnicas cirúrgicas para a cirurgia de revisão protética em defeitos do complexo acetabular, mas não há consenso sobre o melhor tratamento. Os objetivos deste trabalho são revisar casos de médio prazo operados por apresentar defeito ósseo grave (Paprosky tipo III) tratado com aloenxerto ósseo e gaiola anelar Bursch - Schneider anti protusio (BSAC). Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão retrospectiva consecutiva das primeiras 23 reconstruções acetabulares complexas realizadas entre 2006 e 2011. Esta série inclui a curva de aprendizado do procedimento e tem um acompanhamento mínimo de 5 anos. Conclusão: Em conclusão, nosso estudo confirma a eficácia do uso de aloenxerto morselado congelado combinado com um anel de metal tipo BSAC durante a reconstrução acetabular. É necessário recuperar o centro de rotação do quadril em sua localização anatômica para o sucesso a longo prazo. Em casos de soltura maciça, o centro anatómico de rotação só pode ser restaurado pela reconstrução da densidade óssea usando um enxerto protegido por um anel que melhora a centralização da cabeça. Nível de Evidência tipo IV, Série de Casos.

RESUMO

Introdução: A reconstrução do complexo areolopapilar (CAP) é etapa fundamental no tratamento do câncer de mama. Tipicamente, é realizada em dois tempos distintos, sendo primeiro a papila reconstruída e somente após sua completa cicatrização que a tatuagem é realizada. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo realizado no período de 2015 a 2016 no Hospital São Lucas da PUCRS. Foram incluídas 21 pacientes com ausência do CAP unilateral. É descrita a técnica de reconstrução da papila com retalho local em C-V associado à tatuagem para pigmentação do CAP em tempo único. Foram apresentados os dados referentes ao tipo de reconstrução mamária realizada, às complicações e à presença de radioterapia prévia. Resultados: A maioria das pacientes foi reconstruída com implante (48%). Houve três complicações relacionadas à papila (14%), uma necrose parcial e duas deiscências pequenas. Não houve complicação relacionada à tatuagem. Onze pacientes (52%) haviam realizado radioterapia prévia na mama. Conclusão: A tatuagem associada ao retalho em C-V em tempo único é uma técnica simples e com baixo índice de complicações.

Introduction: Reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is a fundamental step in the treatment of breast cancer. It is usually performed in two distinct stages. Tattooing is performed only after reconstruction and complete scarring of the nipple. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from 2015 to 2016 at the Hospital São Lucas of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul. Twenty-one patients with a single NAC were included. One-stage reconstruction of the nipple using a local C-V flap associated with tattooing for pigmentation of the NAC is described. Data on the type of breast reconstruction performed, associated complications, and presence of previous breast radiotherapy were presented. Results: Most patients (48%) underwent reconstruction with an implant. Three complications (14%) were observed in the nipple, including one case of partial necrosis and two cases of small dehiscence. None of the patients had complications due to tattooing. Eleven patients (52%) underwent breast radiotherapy previously. Conclusion: Tattooing combined with one-stage reconstruction using a C-V flap is a simple technique with a low rate of complication.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to present a new surgical technique used to remove benign mandibular tumors with minimal damage to the inferior alveolar nerve. The pull-through technique was shown using an ameloblastoma surgical resection as an example. This technique consisted in the reconstruction of the lower jaw associating the resection of the lesion with nerve repair at the same surgical time. The resection was performed using the pull-through technique and the inferior alveolar nerve was preserved. After 6 months, the patient presented a recovery of approximately 80% of sensory function. The surgical technique presented should be considered an important method by which to produce a higher functional outcome to remove benign mandibular tumors with minimal damage to the inferior alveolar nerve and allows the maintenance of quality of life for the patient, as the consequences of this type of surgery are minimized.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Abdominoplasty, with or without liposuction, is among the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures. Its main objective is to improve the body contour by means of excising redundant skin and fat tissue. Although abdominoplasty is considered a safe procedure with high satisfaction rates, intraoperative and postoperative complications can become a challenge for the surgical team. The aim of this article is to offer a synopsis of the most common complications arising after abdominoplasty, along with evidence-based guidelines about how to prevent and treat them. METHODS: A systematic MEDLINE search strategy was designed using appropriate Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms, and references were scanned for further relevant articles. RESULTS: According to the published case series, local complications are considerably more common than complications with systemic repercussions. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients suffer a local complication following abdominoplasty, while fewer than 1% suffer a systemic complication. Prevention and management strategies are critically discussed for complications including seroma, haematoma, infection, skin necrosis, suture extrusions, hypertrophic scars, neurological symptoms, umbilical anomalies, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism, respiratory distress, and death. CONCLUSIONS: The complications of abdominoplasty vary in severity and in the impact they have on the aesthetic outcomes. Recommendations for prevention and management are based on various levels of evidence, with a risk of observer bias. However, most complications can be treated appropriately following the current standards, with satisfactory results.

RESUMO

Introdução: O pectus excavatum é definido com uma depressão aproximando o esterno e as cartilagens costais à coluna vertebral. Existem diversas teorias em relação à etiologia; a mais aceita consiste no crescimento exagerado das cartilagens costais, causando um deslocamento posterior do esterno e consequente depressão. Dentre as formas de tratamento, encontra-se a correção das assimetrias mamárias utilizando próteses mamárias de silicone em pacientes sem sintomas cardiopulmonares, apenas com queixa estética. Métodos: Foram revisados os registros em prontuários e registros fotográficos de oito casos de pacientes femininas com diagnóstico de pectus excavatum operadas em um hospital privado na região Sul do Brasil, que procuravam o serviço com queixas estéticas locais, e não apresentavam queixas cardiorrespiratórias. Resultados: Seis casos foram submetidos somente à inclusão de prótese mamária. Uma paciente havia colocado prótese havia 15 anos, sendo essa substituída por novo implante, no mesmo plano. Outra paciente já havia realizado cirurgia de correção de pectus descrito por Nuss, 10 anos antes, vindo a consulta com queixa de hipomastia e assimetria. O tipo anestésico preferido foi a anestesia geral, em cinco dos casos. O plano de inclusão de prótese na quase totalidade dos casos foi o subglandular. Somente uma paciente apresentou complicação (seroma). Conclusões: Evidenciamos, na nossa amostra, que a inclusão de prótese mamária em pacientes com pectus excavatum é capaz de trazer resultados estético harmônicos, atenuando e/ou mascarando o defeito torácico, com resultados estéticos satisfatórios para os pacientes.

Introduction: Pectus excavatum is defined as a depression approaching the sternum and costal cartilages to the spine. Several theories explain its etiology, the most accepted of which is the exaggerated growth of the costal cartilages, which causes a posterior displacement of the sternum and consequent depression. The treatment includes correction of breast asymmetries by using silicone breast implants in patients without cardiopulmonary symptoms, only with esthetic complaints. Methods: We reviewed the medical and photographic records of eight female patients diagnosed as having pectus excavatum, who underwent operation at a private hospital in the southern region of Brazil. These women sought consultation for local esthetic complaints and had no cardiorespiratory complaints. Results: Six patients submitted only for breast prosthesis placement. One patient had a prosthesis implanted 15 years before, which was replaced by a new implant in the same plane. Another patient had undergone pectus repair with Nuss surgery 10 years before, and the patient came to the hospital with a complaint of hypomasty and asymmetry. The preferred anesthesia was general anesthesia in five of the cases. The prosthesis inclusion plane in almost all the cases was subglandular. Only one patient had a complication (seroma). Conclusions: In our sample, the placement of breast prostheses in the patients with pectus excavatum brought harmonic esthetic results, attenuating and/or masking the chest defect, with satisfactory esthetic results for the patients.

RESUMO

The restoration of mandibular bone defects with non-vascularized bone grafts depends on the diagnosis, anatomical site, extent of the defect, and the patient's age, as well as the surgeon's experience. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic literature review on mandibular reconstruction for segmental mandibular bone defects using non-vascularized bone grafts to answer the following question: Is there scientific evidence to support the use of this technique? The initial literature search in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases identified 862 articles. Of these, 25 were included in the final review. These articles encompassed 926 procedures with non-vascularized bone grafts; 76.1% were from the iliac crest. Benign tumours were the major cause of these defects (56.8%), and 44.7% of defects were located in the lateral mandibular area. Although this technique showed a high occurrence of complications (290 in 873 patients, some with more than one complication), these did not account for treatment failure. The restoration of bone defects due to malignant tumours treated with radiation therapy had lower success rates, and these appear to be a contraindication for the technique. Although standardized randomized controlled clinical studies are needed to obtain better clinical evidence for treatment choices in general, the use of non-vascularized bone grafts for mandibular reconstruction showed an 87.6% success rate in this review.

RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO: As reconstruções com tecidos combinados e bem vascularizados permitem a melhor reabilitação para defeitos extensos em cabeça e pescoço. O padrão-ouro tem sido as transferências microcirúrgicas de tecidos. Porém, há pacientes em que não há vasos receptores cervicais adequados para os transplantes de tecidos livres devido à múltiplas recidivas, ressecções e reconstruções; linfadenectomias cervicais; fístulas e infecções; e o tratamento com radioterapia. Com o aprimoramento do controle oncológico, pacientes nestas circunstâncias são cada vez mais frequentes e há poucas alternativas para reconstrução. OBJETIVO: Descrever a dissecação anatômica de um retalho osteomiocutâneo combinado, pediculado nos vasos torácicos internos, para reconstrução de defeitos complexos em cabeça e pescoço. MÉTODO: Retalhos osteomiocutâneos contendo 6ª e 7ª costelas e músculo reto abdominal foram dissecados bilateralmente em 35 cadáveres, 26 do sexo masculino e 9 do sexo feminino. Estudou-se a vascularização cutânea do abdome superior pelas perfurantes da artéria epigástrica superior superficial (SSEA); e os padrões de vascularização do 6º e 7º arcos costais e músculo reto abdominal a partir dos vasos torácicos internos, musculofrênicos e intercostais. O arco de rotação para segmento cefálico com ponto pivô na margem inferior da primeira costela foi avaliado. RESULTADOS: Foram dissecadas 114 perfurantes SSEA, 62 à direita e 52 à esquerda, com calibre arterial médio homogêneo de 0,68 mm. A maior frequência de perfurantes encontradas foi no grupo de 0,5 a 1,0 mm, com 60 (52,7%) ocorrências. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa para localização e calibre em relação ao lado. Também não houve correlação dos calibres com localização, idade, peso e altura dos cadáveres. Sessenta e dois retalhos osteomiocutâneos com pedículo nos vasos torácicos internos, 6° e 7° arcos costais e músculo reto abdominal foram divididos em 3 tipos de acordo com o padrão de vascularização...

INTRODUCTION: The use of combined well-vascularized flaps offers better results and rehabilitation for complex head and neck defects. Microsurgical reconstructions are the gold standard. However, there are patients with vessel-depleted necks from multiple recurrences and resections, failed reconstructions, neck dissections, infections, fistulas and radiotherapy, which impair adequate free tissue transfers. With better oncologic therapies, these patients have become more common and lack reconstructive options. OBJECT: To describe a combined ostemyocutaneous pedicled flap based on the internal mammary artery for complex head and neck reconstructions. METHOD: Osteomyocutaneous flaps with 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle were dissected bilaterally on 35 cadavers, 26 male and 9 female. We studied the upper abdominal irrigation through isolation of the superficial superior epigastric artery perforators (SSEA) and the vascular pedicles to the 6th and 7th ribs, and the rectus abdominis muscle arising from the internal mammary, the musculophrenic and the intercostal arteries. The arc of rotation of the flap to the cephalic segment was tested with the pivot point on the lower margin of the first rib. RESULTS: We dissected 114 SSEA, 62 on the right side and 52 on the left. They had an homogeneous mean arterial diameter of 0,68 mm. Sixty perforators (52,7%) were on the group that ranged from 0,5 to 1,0 mm. After statistical analysis, there were no differences in relation to the side as for location and caliber of the perforators. Neither there was any relation of the arterial calibers to the location, age, weight and height of the cadavers. Sixty-two internal mammary artery pedicled osteomyocutaneous flaps, that carried the 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle, were divided in 3 types depending on the vascular pattern to the 6th costal arch. Type 1, where the pedicle to the 6th rib branches from the musculophrenic artery, was the most...
