Reconstruction of Concha-Type Microtia Using a Delayed Postauricular Skin Flap.

Summary: Understanding how to remove and retain the relatively large residual auricle is important in concha-type microtia reconstruction. The authors present a method for concha-type microtia reconstruction using a delayed postauricular skin flap. A total of 40 patients with concha-type microtia who underwent ear reconstruction using a delayed postauricular skin flap were retrospectively examined.

Epicanthus correction with a modified asymmetric Z-plasty.

The study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of the modified asymmetric Z-plasty with a central axis from the point near the edge of the skin fold of the medial canthus to the point of the innermost palpebral edge of medial canthus for epicanthus correction. A total of 130 followed-up patients who received modified asymmetric Z-plasty for epicanthus correction in Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were included. All patients were followed up with at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, and the scarring and surgical outcomes were assessed.

Experimental comparative study of the effect of fractional CO laser combined with pulsed dye laser versus each laser alone on the treatment of hypertrophic scar of rabbit ears.

Background And Objective: The use of fractional CO  laser and pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy to treat and/or prevent scarring following burn injury is becoming more widespread with a number of studies reporting reduction in scar erythema and pruritus following treatment with lasers. The objective of this study was to directly compare the efficacy of PDL, fractional CO , and PDL and fractional CO  laser therapy in immature red hypertrophic scars in a standardized animal model.

Methods: Ten New Zealand big-eared rabbits were used to make rabbit ear hypertrophic scar models.

Laser therapy in the treatment of cicatricial ectropion.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of laser therapy in treating cicatricial ectropion.

Methods: Seven patients with cicatricial ectropion were entered into this clinical study. The ectropions were pretreated with the 595-nm pulsed dye laser if the scar color was red.

Moist exposed burn therapy in recovery of patients with immature, red hypertrophic scars successfully treated with a pulsed dye laser in combination with a fractional CO laser.

Background: The efficacy of pulsed dye laser combined (PDL) and UltraPulse fractional CO in treatment of hypertrophic scars is well documented. The present study investigates the efficacy of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO)/moist exposed burn therapy (MEBT) in postlaser wound management.

Methods: Sixty-one patients with immature, red hypertrophic scars were enrolled in this clinical trial.

Treatment of skin soft tissue embolism after hyaluronic acid injection for injection rhinoplasty in Asian patients.

Introduction: The purpose of this manuscript is to investigate the treatment of skin soft tissue embolization or vascular occlusion after the injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) for Injection Rhinoplasty (IR) in Asians with a special interest in the time occurrence of the occlusion.

Methods: A total of 35 cases were evaluated after receiving HA injections for IR who presented with a vascular occlusive event. They were divided into three stages based on the time to embolization.

Comparison of the effectiveness of pulsed dye laser vs pulsed dye laser combined with ultrapulse fractional CO laser in the treatment of immature red hypertrophic scars.

Introduction: The objective was to investigate the clinical effect of an adjustable pulse width Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) vs an adjustable pulse width PDL combined with fractional CO laser in treating immature red hypertrophic scars.

Methods: Fifty-six patients (56 sites)were randomly divided into a treatment group and control group. The control group was treated with the 595 nm PDL at a fluence of 7-15J/cm and pulse widths of 1.

[Therapeutic strategy for different types of epicanthus].

Objective: To explore the reasonable therapeutic strategy for different types of epicanthus.

Methods: Patients with epicanthus were classificated according to the shape, extent and inner canthal distance and treated with different methods appropriately. Modified asymmetric Z plasty with two curve method was used in lower eyelid type epicanthus, inner canthus type epicanthus and severe upper eyelid type epicanthus.

The use of the fractional CO2 laser resurfacing in the treatment of photoaging in Asians: five years long-term results.

Background And Objective: The purpose of this clinical paper is to explore the therapeutic effects, healing times, adverse effects, and maintenance periods of using a CO2 fractional laser in the treatment of photoaging in Asian skin.

Study Design/materials And Methods: One fractional CO2 laser procedure was performed on the full face in 56 patients with photoaging. Based on the Dover scoring system, we evaluated the degree of skin aging before treatment and at one-month post laser and at five years post laser therapy in 30 of the patients.

[Temporal rotation skin flap combined with cartilage plasty for correcting cryptotia].

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of the temporal rotation flap combined with cartilage plasty for cryptotia correction.

Methods: From January 2009 to June 2012, 8 cases with cryptotia (10 ears) were treated. After complete dissection of the cartilage adhesion, the cartilage was reshaped by suture to restore its appearance.
