Clinical analyses of clustered microcalcifications after autologous fat injection for breast augmentation.

Background: Autologous fat injection for breast augmentation has been disputed with regard to its complications for many years, especially regarding calcifications, most of which present with benign features. In previous studies, clustered microcalcifications were not observed after fat injection for breast augmentation, which are usually regarded as malignant calcifications.

Methods: From July of 1999 to December of 2009, autologous fat injection for breast augmentation was performed for both breasts in 48 patients.

[Microsurgical tissue transfer for the reconstruction of hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome)].

Objective: To reconstruct the soft tissue defect of the hemifacial with free anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flaps or scapular dermal-adiposal flap.

Methods: The free anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flaps based on the perforators of lateral circumflex femoral artery or scapular dermal-adiposal flap based on the circumflex scapular artery has been designed and reconstructed hemifacial atrophy with the donor artery and vein anastomosed to the facial artery and vein.

Results: Anterolateral thigh fascioadipose flaps were performed in 7 patients.

[Vulvar form reconstruction in extended radical vulvectomy of vulvar carcinoma].

Objective: To evaluate the method of vulvar reconstruction after extended vulvectomy.

Methods: Retrospectively, fourteen cases of vulva carcinoma were treated by radical wide local excision, and the defects were repaired with anterolateral thigh flap and inferior pedicle rectus abdominal myocutaneous flap. After the flap was harvested, it was put on the defect through the tunnel between the donor and the recipient site and the vulvae was reconstructed.

[The periareolar approach management of postoperative complications of breast augmentation by injected polyacrylamide hydrogel].

Objective: To analysis various complications of 30 patients of breast augmentation by injected polyacrylamide hydrogel and discuss the treatment through periareolar incision.

Methods: All patients were classified according to the different complications. Open suction technique and partial mastectomies via periareolar incisions were performed in all patients, Only one patient had immediately breast reconstruction with prosthesis, five patients received secondarily breast prostheses implantation via a axillary incision.

[A new technique of upper-middle face rhytidectomy without destroying the configuration of sideburn].

Objective: To introduce a safe, effective and lasting rhytidectomy technique without destroying the configuration of sideburn.

Methods: The operation is performed through the coronal incision, the temporal incision that is paralleled to the nasolabial sulcus, and the preauricular incision in the sideburn. Multi-layer dissection of facial tissue is made.

[Preventive effect of chitosan on capsular contracture after implantation of silicone gel-filled mammary implants in rats].

Objective: To study the preventive effect of chitosan on capsular contracture after implantation of silicone gel-filled mammary implants in rats.

Methods: 18 SD female rats were divided into three groups randomly. Small silicone gel-filled mammary implants were implanted under each side of latissimus dorsi muscle.

[Twice delaying of the expanded flap].

Objective: To introduce a new method for enlarging the survival area of an expanded flap.

Methods: After the skin expander was inflated with enough injection, the first delaying was performed. In the operation, two incisions were made in the skin and subcutaneous tissue superficial to the expander capsule on both sides of the long axis of the expanded flap.

[The neuro-vascular anatomical study of breast and it's signification in reduction mammaplasty].

Objective: to investigate the pattern of the blood supply and the nerve distribution of breast, in order to find a way for short-scar reduction mammaplasty.

Methods: Twelve adult women cadavers were investigated for the vascularture of the anterior thorax and the nerve distribution of the breasts by using the blood vessel casting, specimen transparency technique and the autopsy. Based on the anatomical study, a modified double-circle reduction mammaplasty technique was designed to treat 28 patients with hypertrophical breasts.

[Clinical application of the fibrous capsule to prevent muscle tendon adhesion].

Objective: To observe the effect of fibrous capsule to prevent the flexor tendon adhesion.

Methods: Six bum patients with 33 digits were treated with the fibrous capsule of the expanded flaps which was used to wrap the exposed flexor tendon in zone III in order to prevent the flexor tendon adhesion.

Results: From 1999-2001 ,all of the patients were followed up to 1-3 years.
