Oral and maxillofacial-head and neck reconstruction with soft tissue free flaps of 41 cases: A single team's experience

Objective To retrospectively review the single team's experience of oral and maxillofacialhead and neck reconstruction involving 41 soft tissue free flap procedures.Methods From 1994 to 2012,41 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial-head and neck soft tissue free flap reconstruction at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial-Head and Neck Surgical Oncology,Hospital and College of Stomatology,Xi'an Jiaotong University,were reviewed with clinicopathologic data.Results The 41 patients included 24 men and 17 women with a mean age of 54 years.A total of 41 soft tissue free flaps were performed to reconstruct different anatomical structures in the head and neck region including oral mucosa,facial bone,head and neck skin.Two types of soft tissue free flaps were used to reconstruct surgical defects,including radial forearm flap and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap.Radial forearm flaps were used for 37cases and latissimus dorsi-myocutaneous flaps were 4 cases.Of 41 cases,39 were successful,with an overall success rate of 95.1%.There were 2 free flap failures,including one radial forearm flap and one latissimus dorsi-myocutaneous flap(partial flap necrosis);hence,the flap success rates for radial forearm flap and latissimus dorsimyocutaneous were,respectively,97.3% and 87.5%.Conclusions Radial forearm flap and latissimus dorsi-myocutaneous flap are reliable soft tissue free flaps to repair oral and maxillofacial-head and neck area with high success rate,which resulted in good functionally and cosmetically with fewer complications both donor and recipient sites.

Versatility of Reverse Sural Fasciocutaneous Flap for Reconstruction of Distal Lower Limb Soft tissue Defects

Summary： In this study we present our experiences with the reverse sural fasciocutaneous flap to reconstruct the distal lower limb soft tissue defects caused by traumatic injuries. These flap graftings were carried out from Oct. 2010 to Dec. 2012 in our department. The series consisted of 36 patients, including 21 men and 15 women with an average age of 46.2 years （14-83 years） and with a medium followp period of 18 months （12-24 months）. Of all the cases of acute trauma, there were 10 eases of trauma of distal tibia, 9 cases of trauma of perimalleolus, and 17 cases of trauma of midfoot and forefoot. Related risk factors in the patients were diabetes （2 cases）, advanced age （〉65 years, 3 cases） and ciga- rette smoking （6 cases）. The reverse flow sural island flap irrigation depended on lower perforators of the peroneal artery. The fasciocutaneous pedicle was 3-4 cm in width and the anatomical structures consisted of the superficial and deep fascia, the sural nerve, short saphenous vein, superficial sural artery together with an islet of subcutaneous cellular tissue and skin. The most proximal border of the flap was only 1.5 cm away from the popliteal skin crease and the pivot point was 5-7 cm above the tip of the lateral malleolus. All the flaps survived. No arterial crisis occurred in any case. The venous congestion occurred in 2 cases and got better after raising the limbs and bloodletting. Only in an old man, 1.5 cm necrosis of distal margin of his flap occurred and finally healed after continuous dressing change. One-stage skin grafting was performed, and all the donor sites were sutured and successfully healed. It was concluded that the reverse sural fasciocutaneous flap is safe and reliable to extend to the proximal third even near the popliteal skin crease. We also concluded this flap can be safely and efficiently used to treat patients with large and far soft-tissue defects from the distal leg to the forefoot with more versatility and it is easier to reach the recipient sites.

The clinical characteristics and risk factors for necrotizing soft tissue infection in children

Importance:Necrotizing soft tissue infection(NSTI)is a serious infectious disease.However,the early clinical manifestations and indicators of NSTI in children are still unclear.Objective:The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of NSTI in pediatric patients.Methods:A total of 127 children with skin and soft tissue infection(SSTI)were treated at our hospital and divided into two groups:the NSTI group and the non-NSTI group,based on their discharge diagnosis from January 2011 to December 2022.Then,we collected and analyzed the clinical characteristics and risk factors of all patients,including sex and age,disease inducement,admission temperature,local skin manifestations,infection site,the presence of sepsis,bacterial culture,and laboratory indicators.Results:In our study,there was a statistical difference in the age distribution and disease inducement between NSTI and non-NSTI groups.The occurrence of local skin manifestations(blisters/bullae and ecchymosis)and the presence of sepsis significantly increased in the NSTI group compared to the non-NSTI group.Additionally,only the platelet count on laboratory tests was statistically different between the NSTI and non-NSTI groups.Finally,the logistic regression analysis suggested that local skin manifestations such as blisters/bullae,and ecchymosis,as well as the presence of sepsis,were identified as risk factors for NSTI.Interpretation:Children with SSTI and skin manifestations such as blisters/bullae,ecchymosis,and the presence of sepsis are at a higher risk of developing NSTI.These symptoms serve as useful indicators for early detection of NSTI.

Application of a pre-filled tissue expander for preventing soft tissue incarceration during tibial distraction osteogenesis

BACKGROUND Bone transport and distraction osteogenesis has been widely used to treat bone defects after traumatic surgery,but,skin and soft tissue incarceration can be as high as 27.6%.AIM To investigate the efficacy of inserting a tissue expander to prevent soft tissue incarceration.METHODS Between January 2016 and December 2018,12 patients underwent implantation of a tissue expander in the subcutaneous layer in the vicinity of a tibial defect to maintain the soft tissue in position.A certain amount of normal saline was injected into the tissue expander during surgery and was then gradually extracted to shrink the expander during the course of transport distraction osteogenesis.The tissue expander was removed when the two ends of the tibial defect were close enough.RESULTS In all 12 patients,the expanders remained intact in the subcutaneous layer of the bone defect area during the course of transport distraction osteogenesis.When bone transport was adequate,the expander was removed and the bone transport process was completed.During the whole process,there was no incarceration of skin and soft tissue in the bone defect area.Complications occurred in one patient,who experienced poor wound healing.CONCLUSION The pre-filled expander technique can effectively avoid soft tissue incarceration.The authors’primary success with this method indicates that it may be a valuable tool in the management of incarcerated soft tissue.

Effect of a combination of local flap and sequential compression- distraction osteogenesis in the reconstruction of post-traumatic tibial bone and soft tissue defects

Background Treatment of extensive post-traumatic composite bone and soft tissue defects remains a complicated therapeutic problem and a challenge for surgeons. We investigated the application of local flaps and Ilizarov osteogenesis in the reestablishment of severe combined defects of tibial bone and soft tissue. Methods Sixteen patients with bone and soft tissue defects were included. The mean age of the patients was 31.5 years. The average time from injury to initial surgery was 14.4 weeks. The average soft tissue and bone defect sizes were 92.9 cm2 and 8.7 cm, respectively. Local flaps were created to reconstruct the soft tissue defects. The Ilizarov external fixator or the Orthofix Limb Reconstruction System was used to reconstruct bony defects using delayed distraction osteogenesis. Results Two myocutaneous flaps and 14 reverse island flaps were applied. All transferred flaps survived. Fifteen patients healed with equal leg length, and one healed with a residual leg-length discrepancy of 1.5 cm. One patient with an Ilizarov external fixator developed ankle joint stiffening and a pin-track infection that was successfully treated with oral antibiotics. No patient developed pin loosening. All patients walked without assistance. Fifteen patients returned to their work, and one lost her job. The results were evaluated using the Paley bone and functional assessment scores. The bone assessment results were excellent in 14 and good in two patients. Functional assessment scores were excellent in 13, good in two, and fair in one patient. Conclusion The combination of local flaps and sequential distraction osteogenesis can be used for successful reconstruction of defects of incorporated bone and soft tissue.

目的探讨腹膜透析(peritoneal dialysis,PD)导管出口周围疖肿的发生情况及影响因素。方法选择2011年9月─2017年9月北京大学人民医院肾内科规律随访的PD患者,回顾其PD导管出口周围疖肿的发生情况及临床资料,分析其相关影响因素。结果183名PD患者入选研究,男性88例(占48.1%),平均年龄(59.8±13.8)岁,透析龄27(15,51)月。其中23名(12.6%)患者发生36例次出口周围疖肿,发生率0.05次/风险年。14例次(占38.9%)患者疖肿发生部位以PD导管为中心、周围6~9点的位置。并发症方面:4例次(占11.1%)疖肿合并出口和/或隧道感染,无合并腹膜炎。Logistic回归分析结果显示:透析龄(OR=0.969,95%CI:0.941~0.998,P=0.039)、合并糖尿病(OR=3.014,95%CI:1.050~8.651,P=0.040)、血C反应蛋白(OR=1.154,95%CI:1.065~1.251,P<0.001)是PD患者出口周围发生疖肿的独立危险因素。通过Logistic回归分析PD患者出口疖肿频发的相关因素,结果显示合并糖尿病(OR=5.513,95%CI:1.029~29.536,P=0.046)、C反应蛋白(OR=1.103,95%CI:1.016~1.197,P=0.019)是出口周围疖肿频发的独立危险因素。结论PD导管出口周围疖肿形成在PD患者中并不少见,可能发展为出口感染和/或隧道感染。对合并糖尿病、透析龄较短、C反应蛋白水平高的患者应重点关注出口周围疖肿的发生,并给予相应的预防宣教,从而预防出口和/或隧道感染。
