Urinary bladder matrix (UBM) grafting of acute or infected wound defects has been reported to be successful in small case series. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of UBM grafting with flap coverage.This is a retrospective comparative study.Level-1 trauma center.Orthopaedic trauma patients with wound defects not amenable to primary closure or skin grafting.Wound coverage with UBM grafting (n = 26) by orthopaedic trauma surgeons versus flap coverage (n = 26) by microvascular-trained plastic surgeons.Primary wound coverage success, complications, returns to the operating room, hospital length of stay, and time to wound healing.The UBM group was more likely to have an American Society of Anesthesiologist class ≥3 (58% vs. 23%, P = 0.02), a foot/ankle wound (77% vs. 12%, Plt; 0.001), an infected wound defect (81% vs. 50%, P = 0.03), and smaller defects (21 vs. 100 cm 2 , P = 0.02). UBM grafting resulted in a longer time to wound healing (6 vs. 2 months, P = 0.002) and a shorter hospital length of stay (2 vs. 14 days, Plt; 0.0001). UBM and flap groups had similarly high rates of failure of primary wound coverage (31% vs. 31%; P = 1.0), complications (46% vs. 62%, P = 0.4), and returns to the operating room (46% vs. 65%; P = 0.2). All 3 acute traumatic wounds undergoing UBM grafting concurrently with fracture fixation experienced graft failure and osteomyelitis.UBM grafting is an effective alternative to flap coverage for small traumatic or infected wounds but should be avoided in acute traumatic wounds undergoing fracture fixation.Therapeutic Level III.

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) is the most common craniofacial condition. Alveolar clefts are present in approximately 75% of patients with a cleft lip or CLP and often do not have sufficient support of surrounding teeth. Alveolar bone graft is commonly performed to reconstruct alveolar ridge in patient with osseous defects. Objective of this review is to critically analyze the literature to provide recommendations on appropriate timing for orthodontic preparation and surgical correction of alveolar clefts in the setting of unilateral or bilateral CLP. Search of PubMed database, MEDLINE, and EMBASE was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, 15 studies were included. Majority of studies used chronological age to classify patients versus dental age. Most studies reported orthodontic treatment concomitant with surgery (12/15; 80.0%), and used orthodontics before alveolar bone grafting (8/12; 66.7%). No consensus on the best method to evaluate the success of alveolar bone grafting. Alveolar bone grafting with pre- and post-operative orthodontics is currently the standard of care for treatment of alveolar defects in patients with CLP. Authors recommend grafting during early mixed dentition phase, just before the eruption of the permanent central incisors, typically between 6 and 8 years old. Preoperative orthodontics for appropriate incisor alignment around cleft, and may be resumed 6 months postoperative.

To promote patient safety and build trust, plastic surgeons must use patient-centered language when discussing gender-affirming surgery. However, the existing terminology has not been evaluated from a patient perspective. This study sought to understand how gender-affirming surgery patients from 3 US geographic regions perceive common terminology.An anonymous, 24-item electronic survey was distributed to gender-affirming surgery patients seen in Tennessee, Colorado, and California. After institutional review board exemption, the survey instrument was pretested and piloted with gender-affirming surgery patients. Internal consistency was assessed by computation of Cronbach α (0.87).A total of 306 participants completed the survey: 68 from a Tennessee academic center (response rate, 56%), 131 from a California private practice (response rate, 8%), and 107 from a Colorado academic center (response rate, 53%). A greater proportion of respondents felt the terms "top surgery" and "bottom surgery" were appropriate (83% and 82%, respectively) relative to "chest surgery" and "genital surgery" (41% and 30%, respectively). More respondents favored the phrase "gender-affirming surgery" than "gender-confirming surgery" (86% vs 67%). Nearly half (43%) perceived the phrase "sex reassignment surgery" as inappropriate. Most respondents (80%) preferred their surgeon ask for their pronouns.Optimizing communication is an actionable way for plastic surgeons to improve the healthcare experiences of gender-affirming surgery patients. "Top surgery" and "bottom surgery" are favored terms, and "gender-affirming surgery" is the preferred name for this discipline. Language preferences should be openly discussed with each patient to ensure professional communication.

The ideal body is characterized by a muscular physique and defined anterior abdominal wall. Despite diet and exercise, many are unable to achieve this desired result. Liposuction with abdominal etching is used to achieve high-definition abdominal aesthetics. The etching technique is performed with liposuction in a superficial plane, to create indentures consistent with "six-pack abs," or definition of vertical abdominal lines.The authors' abdominal etching preoperative markings, surgical technique, and postoperative care are discussed. The surgeons' experience with abdominal etching in 50 consecutive patients is reviewed, including rate of complications and patient satisfaction.The average patient age was 36.4 years. We had an almost equal number of men (n = 26) and women (n = 24), with an average body mass index of 26.7 kg/m. The average blood loss was 275 ml, the average tumescence was 6 liters, and the average lipoaspirate was 5 liters. There were no major complications such as fat embolus, deep venous thrombosis, or intraabdominal injury. The most common minor postoperative complications were contour irregularities (12 percent), seromas (10 percent), and hyperpigmentation (2 percent). The majority of patients were satisfied (98 percent). The average length of postoperative follow-up was 27 months.Abdominal etching is a safe and effective method of creating a defined anterior abdominal wall for patients who desire the muscular definition of vertical abdominal lines. Almost all of our patients reviewed were satisfied with this procedure, maintained long-term results, and had an acceptable rate of complications.Therapeutic, IV.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, electrolyte imbalances, and iron deficiency anemia. These factors may increase the risk of adverse outcomes in patients undergoing panniculectomy. There is a paucity of data regarding outcomes in patients with ESRD undergoing panniculectomy. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ESRD is associated with increased rate of complications following a panniculectomy. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (2006–2011) was used to identify patients who underwent a panniculectomy. Among this cohort, patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease were identified. Patients excluded from the study were emergency admissions, pregnant women, patients less than 18 years old, and patients with concurrent nephrectomy or kidney transplants. Demographic factors, comorbidities, and postoperative complications were evaluated. Chi-squared and risk-adjusted multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine whether end-stage renal disease was associated with increased rate of postoperative complications. A total of 34,779 panniculectomies were performed during the study period. Of these, 613 (1.8%) were diagnosed with ESRD. Patients with ESRD were older (mean age 58.9 vs. 49.3, p

Whole body vibration (WBV) has been shown to improve strength in extremities with healed burn wounds. We hypothesize that WBV reduces pain during rehabilitation compared to standard therapy alone. Patients with ≥1% TBSA burn to one or more extremities from October 2014 to December 2015 were randomized to vibration (VIBE) or control. Each burned extremity was tested separately within the assigned group. Patients underwent one to three therapy sessions (S1, S2, S3) consisting of five upper and/or lower extremity exercises with or without WBV. Pain was assessed pre-, mid-, and postsession on a scale of 1 to 10. Mean pain scores at S1 to S3 were compared between groups with paired samples t-tests. An independent t-test was used to compare differences in pain scores between groups. Continuous variables were compared using a t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical variables were compared using a χ or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. Forty-eight randomized test extremities (VIBE = 26, control = 22) were analyzed from a total of 31 subjects. There were no significant differences between groups in age, gender, overall TBSA, TBSA in the test extremity, pain medication use before therapy session, or skin grafting before therapy session. At S1, S2, and S3, there was a statistically significant decrease in mid- and postsession pain compared to presession pain in VIBE vs controls. Exposure to WBV decreased pain during and after physical therapy. This modality may be applicable to a variety of soft tissue injuries and warrants additional investigation.

Background Cleft lip and palate are the most common craniofacial congenital malformations. Timing of the nasal repair remains somewhat controversial. Some authors perform a combined nasal and lip repair in infancy while others advocate for a staged repair with the nasal component occurring later in childhood. Frequently, secondary repair is needed to address residual nasal deformities in early adulthood. Conchal cartilage has become increasingly popular as a source of cartilage for secondary reconstruction. Donor site morbidities include hematoma formation, scar formation, and wound healing complications. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there is 1 previous report of a full through-and-through conchal defect as a complication of auricular cartilage graft harvesting. The authors report an infrequently described iatrogenic conchal defect due to cartilage harvesting managed with a single-stage reconstruction using bookend flaps. Methods A 19-year-old female with a history of unilateral cleft lip and palate repair underwent secondary rhinoplasty using conchal cartilage. A bolster dressing was applied to the conchal harvest site. The patient was unable to attend her postoperative clinic visit and was eventually seen 2 months postoperatively with the bolster still in place. A full-thickness conchal defect was present when the bolster was removed. Results A pressure dressing such as a bolster is commonly used to prevent hematoma formation after conchal cartilage graft harvesting. This is routinely removed during the initial postoperative visit. Prolonged placement can result in donor site complications such as a full-thickness conchal defect. Conclusion A functional and aesthetic reconstruction of a full-thickness iatrogenic conchal defect was achieved with excellent results using a local posterior flap, and 2 anteriorly based bookend flaps for closure. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this report is the first to describe a single-stage reconstruction of an iatrogenic defect in the concha as a complication of conchal cartilage harvesting.

Obesity may increase the risk of complications following abdominal contouring. The aim of this study is to evaluate panniculectomy outcomes in patients with class III obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m2). The American College of Surgeon’s National Surgical Quality Improvement Program ACS-NSQIP (2010–2014) was used to identify patients who underwent panniculectomy. Class III obesity patients were identified. Demographics, comorbidities and postoperative outcomes were evaluated. Risk-adjusted multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess impact of class III obesity on panniculectomy outcomes. A total of 4497 panniculectomies were identified. Of these, 545 (12.1%) were performed in patients with class III obesity. This group was older (mean age 50.3 vs. 45.9, p

Background: For HIV infected patients, distinct infectious disease hospitals currently exist in China, therefore, attitudes promoting separation within health care settings persist both in healthcare workers and community. The misinformation and fear of infection negatively affect Health Care Workers, (HCWs) attitudes towards caring for patients with HIV. However, the level of knowledge, attitudes, and skills (KAS) towards occupational exposure to HIV and post-exposure standards of care are unknown in Gansu, China. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of health care workers regarding HIV occupational exposure and treatment. We analyzed findings in a total of 324 HCWs through a self-reported questionnaire. Results: HCWs with a higher than average KAS composite score compared to HCWs with a lower KAS score were more likely to be working clinically (p=0.0023), and had completed a university degree or above (p=0.0370). The univariate analysis model also showed additional factors that HCWs having a higher KAS composite score were significantly associated with being a physician (OR 9.22; p=0.045) and receiving formal infection control training (OR 4.20; p
