Giant anorectal condyloma acuminatum of buschke-lowenstein: successful plastic reconstruction with bilateral gluteal musculocutaneous v-y advancement flap.

ABSTRACT: A 58-year-old male patient presented with an anorectal verrucous carcinoma, also known as Buschke-Lowenstein tumor. Clinically, the lesion of the patient best resembled giant condyloma acuminatum with a cauliflower-like appearance. The diagnosis was confirmed with biopsy and an abdominoperineal resection was performed. The perineal defect was reconstructed with bilateral gluteal musculocutaneous V-Y advancement flap. Both functional and cosmetic results 6 years after the operation were excellent. To date, no recurrence has been noted. As long as one is aware of its existence and of its characteristic appearances, the Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is fairly easily diagnosed. The treatment of choice remains surgical resection, and adequate follow-up is essential.

Bilateral, Bipedicled DIEP Flap for Staged Reconstruction of Cranial Deformity.

Project description:The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) adipocutaneous flap is a versatile flap that has been most popularly used in breast reconstruction. However, it has been applied to many other anatomic areas and circumstances that require free-tissue transfer. We present a case report of the use of the DIEP flap for the reconstruction of severe craniomaxillofacial deformity complicated by indolent infection in a gentleman with infected hardware and methyl methacrylate overlay used in previous repair of traumatic injuries suffered from a motor vehicle collision. The reconstruction was done in a staged, two-step fashion that allowed for adequate infection eradication and treatment using a bilateral, bipedicled DIEP flap for tissue coverage and intravenous antibiotics before the delayed insertion of a polyetheretherketone cranioplasty for reconstruction of the cranial defect.

Reconstruction of sternal defects after sternotomy with postoperative osteomyelitis, using a unilateral pectoralis major advancement muscle flap.

Project description:BackgroundThe pectoralis major flap, which is usually harvested bilaterally, is considered a workhorse flap in the reconstruction of sternal defects. After a median sternotomy for open heart surgery, 1%-3% of patients develop deep infection and dehiscence of the sternal wound, some of which will eventually require reconstructive surgery. Our aim was to describe the clinical feasibility and associated complications of the unilateral pectoralis major advancement flap in the reconstruction of sternal defects.MethodsA retrospective analysis of all adult patients who were operated on using a unilateral pectoralis major flap for reconstruction of the chest wall at the Linköping University Hospital during 2008-18 was made using data retrieved from medical records.ResultsForty-three patients had reconstructions with unilateral pectoralis major flaps. Three flaps failed completely, and another 10 patients developed complications that required further operation. The factors that were independently associated with loss of the flaps and complications were: older age, male sex, the number of different antibiotics used, and a long duration of treatment with negative wound pressure. Fewer wound revisions before the reconstruction resulted in more complications. The factors that were independently associated with prolonged time to complete healing were emergency reoperation after the initial operation and complications after reconstruction.ConclusionThe unilateral pectoralis major advancement flap has proved to be a useful technique in the reconstruction of most sternal defects after sternal wound infection in older patients. There is, however, need for a follow-up study on a larger number of procedures to evaluate the long-term outcome compared with other methods of sternal reconstruction.

A challenge in soft tissue reconstruction: The use of pedicled anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap and gluteal fasciocutaneous rotational flap in reconstructing a huge full thickness lateral trunk defect.

Project description:Introduction and importanceLateral abdominal wall (LAW) defect presents as a rare and unique challenge to the reconstructive surgeons.Case presentationWe report a huge recurrent right lateral abdominal DFSP with local invasion in a 35-year-old lady. After wide local excision, the reconstruction was done by using pedicled anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap and gluteal fasciocutaneous rotational flap.Clinical discussionThe goal of reconstruction of the lateral abdominal wall is similar to that of the anterior abdominal wall, namely to provide a static repair that will not attenuate and form a bulge or hernia over time. Anchoring a mesh to stable fixation points is expected to ensure structural integrity in the LAW defect. However, we selected fascial inset from our flaps which did not lead to hernia formation or a bulge following a 7-month postoperative review. In terms of soft tissue coverage, the pedicled anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous flap and gluteal fasciocutaneous rotational flap were used. The standard free flap will require more complexity of works, especially if the recipient vessels for microsurgical reconstruction are remotely situated or sometimes not even available.ConclusionHuge full-thickness LAW defect following an oncological resection can be reconstructed with combination of simpler locoregional flaps which yield good functional and aesthetic outcome.

The effects of gluteal squeezes compared to bilateral bridges on gluteal strength, power, endurance, and girth.

Project description:BackgroundHip extension weakness is correlated with low back, hip, and knee pathology. Isometric gluteal squeezes have been shown to elicit high electromyographic gluteal activity. However, there is little research regarding the specific effects of isometric gluteal squeezes on hip strength and functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of gluteal squeezes on hip extension strength, vertical jump, broad jump, single-leg bridge endurance, and gluteal girth compared to bilateral gluteal bridging.MethodsA total of 32 healthy university students (mean age 23.28 ± 2.15 years) were randomly assigned to perform either gluteal squeezes or bilateral bridges daily. Subjects were tested at baseline and after 8 weeks of training. Subjects' hip extension strength, vertical jump, broad jump, single-leg bridge endurance, and gluteal girth were tested.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were found between the bridge and squeeze groups after 8 weeks of training. Both groups significantly improved hip extension strength bilaterally (p = 0.000-0.011). The squeeze group significantly increased gluteal girth at the level of the greater trochanter (p = 0.007), but no significant girth increase was seen in the bridge group (p = 0.742). Although increases were seen in both groups for the endurance and jump tasks, no statistically significant changes occurred for those outcomes. All outcome measurements demonstrated high reliability (ICC = 0.93-0.99).ConclusionGluteal squeezes were as effective as bilateral bridges for increasing hip extension strength. Gluteal squeezes also significantly increased girth at the level of the greater trochanter. These results provide clinical and aesthetic reasons to perform gluteal squeezes.

Superior Gluteal Reconstruction for Severe Hip Abductor Deficiency.

Project description:Abductor tendon tears are one of the common causes of recalcitrant laterally based hip pain and dysfunction. In most cases, abductor tendon tears are associated with chronic nontraumatic tearing of the gluteus medius tendon. Restoring abductor function of the hip by primary repair of the gluteus medius tendon has been reported to have good and excellent outcomes. However, primary repair might not be as effective for chronic detachment of the gluteus medius tendon with a wide separation from the femoral footprint or severe tendon loss. The lack of tendinous foot for repair and the intrinsically degenerative condition of the tendon may create high tension at the repair site thereby predisposing to surgical failure. We believe that the use of soft-tissue allograft from the Achilles tendon or human dermal allograft may help strengthen the surgical site. We describe a superior gluteal reconstruction technique that is suitable for cases with abductor tendon tear with severe tendon loss.

V-Y Hemi-keystone Advancement Flap: A Novel and Simplified Reconstructive Modification.

Project description:BackgroundThe keystone perforator flap design has been gaining popularity for reconstruction of cutaneous defects due to its robust vascular supply and high rates of flap survival. However, the design requires significant tissue mobilization relative to the defect and is consequently technically demanding, time intensive, and has associated morbidity. We present a novel, simplified modification of the keystone flap that may increase its reconstructive applications.MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted of patients who underwent V-Y hemi-keystone advancement flap reconstruction of cutaneous defects by a single surgeon. Outcomes of interest included wound healing complications.ResultsEighty-six consecutive V-Y hemi-keystone advancement flaps were performed with an overall complication rate of 7% (6/86). Reconstruction sites included lower extremities (75/86, 87.2%), upper extremities (9/86, 10.5%), and the trunk (2/86, 2.3%). Mean follow-up time was 26.3 weeks. Four out of 5 surgical site infections occurred on lower extremity wounds. There were no cases of complete or partial flap loss.ConclusionsThe current series presents a simplification of the traditional keystone flap that decreases surgical complexity and time required for successful reconstruction of cutaneous defects, especially in challenging wounds on the lower extremities. The complication rates were similar, or lower, than previously reported series of keystone flap reconstructions. The consistently favorable outcome of this technique supports the integration of the V-Y hemi-keystone advancement flap into reconstructive surgery.
