0001), and results were maintained through 3 cycles of onabotulinumtoxinA. Conclusions OnabotulinumtoxinA treatment also resulted in high patient satisfaction rates. The incidence of eyebrow and of eyelid ptosis was low, and no new safety signals were detected. OnabotulinumtoxinA is safe and effective and an appropriate option for patients with moderate to severe FHL encountered in clinical practice.Immediate fat grafting to the pedicled myocutaneous latissimus dorsi (LD) flap has recently gained in popularity as a means to supplement volume for breast reconstruction. The aim of this study is to compare complication rates of the immediately fat-grafted LD to free tissue transfer in the obese population. Methods In this retrospective cohort, 82 patients (149 breasts) from 2015 to 2019 were included. Patients underwent either unilateral or bilateral breast reconstruction with either LD with immediate fat grafting or abdominal-based free tissue transfer. Included patients had a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2 at the time of surgery. Complication data were recorded as minor, major, and medical complications. Procedure characteristics and postoperative data were also studied. Results Minor complication rates between the LD with immediate fat grafting and free tissue transfer cases were similar (26.9% versus 26%, respectively). The free tissue transfer group had a significantly higher rate of major complications (20.3% versus 3.8%; P = 0.048) and medical complications (10.6% versus zero). Finally, the LD with immediate fat grafting group had significantly shorter operating room times, hospital length of stay, and fewer donor-site revisions. Conclusions LD with immediate fat grafting offers the benefit of a totally autologous reconstruction without the risks of abdominal-based microvascular free tissue transfer or an implant. Favorable complication rates, shorter operative times, and shorter hospital length of stay make this reconstructive option a safe alternative to free tissue transfer in the obese population.Epidermolysis bullosa describes a rare group of genetic mucocutaneous disorders characterized by excessive epithelial fragility resulting in mechanically induced blistering and abnormal wound healing.1,2 Its prevalence and incidence are 8.2 and 19.6 per 1,000,000 live births, respectively.2 Gene therapy, protein replacement, and cell therapy strategies have been investigated, but there is currently no cure.2.Perioperative liberal fluid resuscitation (LFR) can result in interstitial edema and venous congestion and may be associated with compromised perfusion of free flaps and higher incidence of wound complications. We hypothesized that restrictive intraoperative fluid resuscitation improves flap perfusion and lowers the wound complication rate in free flap breast reconstruction. Methods Patients undergoing free flap reconstruction of the breast from 2010 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The study population was divided into 2 groups, LFR (≥7 ml/kg/h) and restrictive fluid resuscitation (RFR) ( less then 7 ml/kg/h). Mean percutaneous oximetry readings of the flap over the first 24 hours were recorded. Primary outcome was development of any wound complication. Secondary outcomes were mean percutaneous oximetry readings within the first 24 hours, length of stay, and development of acute kidney injury. Results One hundred twenty-six patients were identified, with 41 patients undergoing LFR. The mean fluid received for the RFR group was 5.5 versus 10.2 ml/kg/h for the LFR group (P less then 0.001). LFR resulted in a significantly higher incidence of wound complications (76% versus 15%, P less then 0.001). The mean oximetry readings within 24 hours were significantly lower for the LFR group (41% versus 56%, P less then 0.001). Urine output intraoperatively and within the first 24 hours was similar between the 2 groups. No patients developed acute kidney injury. Conclusion RFR in free flap breast reconstruction is associated with increased flap perfusion and lower incidence of wound-related complications and should be considered whenever possible.Closing a scalp wound with skin defects is challenging because the scalp skin lacks extensibility and closing it tends to result in a remarkable, widespread, hairless scar. Absorbable symmetric barbed suture device (Stratafix Symmetric; Ethicon, USA) allows wound closure using a pulling motion alone and provides a strong and secure closure for the high-tension area. We used this device to close wide scalp defects easily without tension and with minimized sequential scalp alopecia. The aim of this study was to show our experiences with using this technique. From January 2017 to March 2019, our relaxing suture technique was performed in 7 pediatric patients with scalp alopecia due to various lesions that ranged 23.0 ± 6.5 mm. After resecting the lesions, the galea was sutured using the 3-0 absorbable symmetric barbed suture via a running subcutaneous suture technique. The widespread wound edges were approximated by pulling the suture device. Wound closure was completed with galeal suturing and a superficial suture. We evaluated the width of the postoperative hairless scar at the final follow-up. In all 7 patients, we could approximate the widespread wound edges by pulling alone. Cepharanthine order Subsequently, the wounds could be closed without tension or difficulty. The mean width of the postoperative hairless scar was 3.3 ± 0.8 mm (range 1.9-4.3 mm), and no complication was detected during the follow-up period. Our new relaxing suture technique using an absorbable barbed suture with symmetric anchors is a supportive and additional way to help close scalp defects.Collagen plays a fundamental role in wound healing and consequently defective collagen can impair normal wound healing processes. Kniest dysplasia (KD) is a collagenopathy that results from a pathogenic mutation in a gene that codes for type II collagen. Clinical manifestations of the dysplasia include short-trunk dwarfism, kyphoscoliosis, hand arthropathy, cleft palate, hearing loss, and ocular abnormalities. We present the case of a 21-year-old woman who desired reduction mammaplasty. A review of the literature was performed, and there were no published reports of any plastic surgery procedures in patients with KD. The patient proceeded with surgery and healed without any complications. Given that wound healing appears normal in this patient population, it is reasonable to consider elective plastic surgical procedures in patients with KD.
