AbstractThe aim of the present study is to report our preliminary experience with the vastus lateralis myofascial free flap (VLMFF) for tongue reconstruction according to tongue and donor site functional outcomes. Twelve consecutive patients (F: 5; median age: 54.0 years, interquartile range or IQR 42.75–69.0) were included. The validated European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer of the Head and Neck 35 Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N35) and the performance status scale for head and neck cancer (PSS-HN) questionnaires were used to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) was used to self-report the donor area function. All patients were successfully treated, and no VLMFF failure was detected during a median follow-up period of 10.5 months (IQR: 6.5–33.0). The HRQOL showed a median EORTC QLQ-H&N35 score of 56.0 (IQR: 50.0–72.5). The median PSS-HN score was 80.0 (IQR: 45.0–95.0), 75.0 (IQR: 62.5–100.0), 75.0 (IQR: 62.5–100.0) for “Normalcy of Diet,” “Public Eating,” and “Understandability of Speech,” respectively. The self-reported function of the lower extremities (donor area) showed a median LEFS of 59.0 (IQR: 32.5–74.0). This study reports optimistic data regarding the functional and quality of life outcomes after tongue reconstruction using VLMFF. Prospective controlled studies are needed to demonstrate advantages and disadvantages when compared with other reconstructive techniques.

The midline vertical forehead flap is an unheralded flap that has valuable and specific application. It is ideal for certain reconstructions around the nose, orbit, and upper melonasal regions. The color match is excellent. The donor area is repaired per primum and because there is a double blood supply, it rarely fails when nondelayed and rotated 180°.

Abstract Background No previous studies have evaluated the scarring of the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule (TC) separately when only the conjunctiva is removed, and TC is preserved in the upper part of the bulb: the site designated for trabeculectomy. Thus, this cohort interventional study aims to investigate the scarring of the donor area after autologous limbal-conjunctival transplantation (ALCT) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods Twenty-three eyes with pterygium were submitted to resection and local reconstruction with ALCT. AS-OCT images obtained from each eye preoperatively served as postoperative control. ALCT was removed superiorly with preservation of TC. The cure of this donor area occurred by secondary intention. AS-OCT was performed preoperatively and 30 and 180 days postoperatively in the donor area, measuring the thickness of the conjunctiva (epithelium and stroma) and TC. The sub-Tenon’s space (STS) was clinically assessed. Results The mean thickness of the conjunctival epithelium was 48.04 ± 11.37µm in the preoperative period and 51.87±15.04µm 180 days after surgery, without statistically significant difference (P=0.282). A statistically significant increase (P=0.005) in the mean thickness of the conjunctival stroma, from 85.35±23.10µm in the preoperative period to 101.61±20.19µm 180 days after surgery was found. TC had no significant changes, slightly increasing from 117.13±24.26µm preoperatively to 118.09±19.24µm (P=0.808) 180 days after surgery. STS was found in 19 (82%) eyes 180 days after surgery. Conclusions Following ALCT with TC preservation, scarring took place in the conjunctiva, epithelium, and stroma. The TC and the STS were preserved not showing any significant changes.

Several reports have been published wherein intradermal filling with nanofat has been used for skin rejuvenation, texture improvement and scar treatment. A study was conducted between August 2017 and August 2018 which included 20 female patients having wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, erythema, and enlarged pores. Lidocaine cream, local infiltration with lidocaine or sedation was used in accordance with the patient’s convenience. Nanofat was injected intradermally in all the facial regions. All patients filled a questionnaire at sixth month post treatment which consisted of questions regarding pain, bumps area and resolution, grade of improvement of skin (wrinkles, smoothness, wrinkles, pores and redness), recovery of donor area, time to reincorporate to normal routine, nanofat-time efficacy and recommendation of the treatment. Patients undergoing it with sedation had less bruising and pain. Lateral thigh as the donor area had less pain in the recovery period. The residual bumps persisted for more time in non-mobile areas while average time to disappear was 3.6 weeks. Patients started to notice the change after nanofat injections at about 1.12 months later. The improvement was noticed for smoothness of skin (100% patients), wrinkles (40% patients), pore size reduction (15% patients), improvement in redness (10% patients). The effect of nanofat was felt by patients for an average time of 3.85 months. All the patients were satisfied and recommended it. No major complications were reported. Nanofat treatment is safe and it conveys beneficial effects on skin rejuvenation as per the post-operative skin texture changes and the satisfaction of patients.
