Central wedge nymphectomy with a 90-degree Z-plasty for aesthetic reduction of the labia minora 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Giraldo F González C de Haro F 《Plastic and reconstructive surgery》2004,113(6):1820-5; discussion 1826-7
The labia minora or nymphae of the vulva are two cutaneous-mucosal refolds located between the labia majora, the internal aspect of which is separated by the interlabial cleft. The enlargement of the labia minora may be attributable to several factors, most commonly congenital. Although some women require surgical reduction for functional reasons, most seek reduction of their labia minora because of psychological concerns. The authors describe a modified plastic surgery procedure for functional and aesthetic reduction of the labia minora. 相似文献

A new method for aesthetic reduction of labia minora (the deepithelialized reduction of labioplasty)
An enlarged labium minus can be bothersome for functional, aesthetic, and social reasons. Labia minora hypertrophy can be congenital or acquired by chronic irritation, exogenous androgenic hormones, or stretching with weights. This can cause inflammation, poor hygiene, interference with sexual intercourse, or intermittent urinary self-catheterization in myelodysplastic women. Aesthetically, an asymmetric or enlarged labium minus causes self-consciousness sexually and when the subject wears tight pants. Previously, labia minora reduction was performed by amputation of the protuberant segment and oversewing the edge, or a wedge of protuberant labial tissue was excised and reapproximated. However, the former technique removes the natural contour and color of the edge of the labium minus, and the latter can result in an incomplete or tight reduction. Therefore, rather than an amputation or a wedge resection, we preserved the natural contour and anatomy of the labium minus by simply reducing its central width through bilateral deepithelialization and reapproximation of the central portion with preservation of the neurovascular supply to the edge. Six patients have undergone this reduction method with excellent results without specific complications. 相似文献

Breast-feeding after inferior pedicle reduction mammaplasty 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The breast-feeding practices of a series of postpartum women, who had undergone prior reduction mammaplasty by means of an inferior pedicle approach, are reported in this retrospective study. Also identified are the factors that influenced the decision to breast-feed postoperatively. From a patient pool of 544 individuals who elected to have reduction mammaplasty between 1984 and 1994 (age range, 15 to 35 years), 334 could be contacted and interviewed by means of telephone by using a standardized questionnaire. Successful breast-feeding was defined as the ability to feed for a duration equal to or greater than 2 weeks. Seventy-eight patients had children after their breast reduction surgery. Fifteen of the 78 patients (19.2 percent) breast-fed exclusively, 8 (10.3 percent) breast-fed with formula supplementation, 14 (17.9 percent) had an unsuccessful breast-feeding attempt, and 41 (52.6 percent) did not attempt breast-feeding. Of the 41 patients not attempting to breast-feed, 9 patients did so as a direct consequence of discouragement by a health care professional. Further reasons for feeding with supplementation, having an unsuccessful attempt, and not attempting to breast-feed are presented. Of the 78 women who had children postoperatively, a total of 27 were discouraged from breast-feeding by medical professionals with only 8 of the 27 (29.6 percent) subsequently attempting, despite this recommendation. In comparison, 26 patients were encouraged to breast-feed; nineteen (73.1 percent) of them did subsequently attempt breast-feeding. This rate is statistically significant by using a chi2 test with 1 df(p = 0.0016). Postpartum breast engorgement and lactation was experienced by 31 of the 41 patients not attempting to breast-feed. Of these 31 patients, 19 believed that they would have been able to breast-feed due to the extent of breast engorgement and lactation experienced. Given the use of an inferior flap mammaplasty technique and patient encouragement, the possibility for breast-feeding after reduction mammaplasty exists. This prevalence falls near the breast-feeding rate found in the population not having undergone breast surgery, according to an article in the Canadian Journal of Public Health. 相似文献

Vaginal reconstruction with an axial subcutaneous pedicle flap from the inferior abdominal wall: a new method 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A new method of vaginal reconstruction is reported. In the procedure, the left inferior abdominal wall flap with the subcutaneous pedicle containing epigastric superficial blood vessels and/or the circumflex iliac superficial vessel and the external pudendal vessel and their branches is raised and passed through an immediate extraperitoneal tunnel to be the artificial vagina. The operation is straightforward, quick, and safe. Thirty consecutive patients suffering from congenital absence of vagina have been treated. All flaps in the group, which were less bulky, survived completely. The follow-up survey was carried out from 6 months to more than 4 years postoperatively. There was no occurrence of hernia after surgery. The reconstructed vaginas in all patients were clean, soft, elastic, and expansible. Married patients indicated satisfaction with their sexual life. 相似文献

The anatomy of the posterior interosseous vessels makes them suitable as a donor area of free flap. The skin island can be designed on the perforating vessels of the distal third of the forearm, up to the dorsal wrist crease, to increase the pedicle length (7 to 9 cm). A series of nine flaps transferred to reconstruct hand defects is presented. All flaps were designed over the dorsal distal forearm, and dimensions permitted direct closure of the donor site (up to 4 to 5 cm wide). Apart from a linear scar, donor morbidity was negligible. All transfers were successful. Although its dissection is somewhat tedious, the anatomy of the vascular pedicle is suitable for microanastomosis and the skin island is thin, although hairy. The posterior interosseous free flap with extended pedicle may be a good choice when limited amounts of thin skin and a long vascular pedicle are needed. 相似文献

Island scalp flap for superior forehead reconstruction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An island scalp fasciocutaneous flap, based on the posterior superficial temporal vessels, is described for single-stage reconstruction of full-thickness forehead and scalp defects. The hairline can be precisely determined and tailored to restore symmetry. By removing the hair-bearing dermis of the forehead portion of the flap and placing a full-thickness skin graft, aesthetic reconstitution of the forehead skin is achieved. This flap is especially useful when exposed calvarium limits other techniques. 相似文献

The inferior gluteal free flap in breast reconstruction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The inferior gluteal musculocutaneous free flap usually provides a sufficient amount of autogenous tissue for breast reconstruction when adequate tissue is not present in the lower abdomen or back. Its arteriovenous pedicle is longer than the superior gluteal musculocutaneous free-flap pedicle and permits microvascular anastomosis in the axilla, avoiding medial rib and cartilage resection. In the thin patient, there is more available donor tissue than with the superior gluteal musculocutaneous free flap. Cadaver dissections confirm the greater pedicle length and the local area of the lower gluteus maximus muscle needed to carry the skin island and have helped define a safe approach to flap elevation. We have used four flaps for breast reconstruction without vascular compromise or the need for reexploration. The low donor-site scar in the inferior buttock fold has been acceptable, especially for a bilateral reconstruction. The anatomy of the gluteal region, the surgical technique for the inferior gluteal free-flap transfer, and a 3-year patient follow-up are presented. 相似文献

To test the hypothesis that deskinning instead of deepithelializing the pedicle can save time when using the inferior pedicle technique of breast reduction without incurring added risk, a comparison of deskinning with deepithelialization was performed in nine patients undergoing breast reduction. Each patient served as her own control. No increase in complications or decrease in the quality of result ensued from use of the deskinning technique. The savings in time, however, was relatively insignificant, and several other minor disadvantages outweighed the gain, so that this author has chosen to continue to use the traditional deepithelialization of the pedicle when performing breast reduction surgery. 相似文献

In the last two decades, McKissock's technique for reduction mammaplasty was largely replaced by Robbins's inferior pedicle technique. However, a substantial number of plastic surgeons still perform McKissock's technique in the belief that it is superior to the inferior pedicle technique in terms of aesthetic results and complication rate. In this study, the authors compared the aesthetic results, complication rates, and patient satisfaction with the two techniques. Numerous studies in the past few years have shown an improvement in physical symptoms in addition to excellent patient satisfaction after breast reduction. However, almost all of these studies have used questionnaires that were mailed to the patients for evaluation. In the present study, aesthetic evaluations by the surgeon and an objective observer were performed in addition to evaluations by the patients themselves, thereby increasing the objectivity and the significance of the patients' evaluations. Two groups of 24 and 27 patients were compared. The groups were almost identical in terms of demographic data and the amount of breast tissue removed. The aesthetic results were good to excellent in both groups, and the groups had similar complication rates. When the patients' evaluations were compared with those of the surgeon and the objective observer, no significant difference was found between the observer and the patients. In one of the groups, the surgeon's evaluations were significantly higher than those of the patients, although they were not significantly higher than the observer's. In terms of aesthetic results, complication rates, and patient satisfaction, no differences existed between the groups. In addition, the patients' evaluations were determined to be a reliable index of aesthetic results and, in these cases, they were often identical to objective evaluations. 相似文献

Heavy pendulous breasts cause physical and psychological trauma. Postburn deformity of breasts results in significant asymmetry, displacement of nipple-areola complex, due to burn scar contracture, and significant scarring; these factors add more psychological discomfort and subsequent behavioral changes. The use of the inferior pedicle procedure in burned breasts can solve many problems. The technique reduces the size of the large breast, eliminates the scar tissue by excising both medial and lateral flaps, and brings the mal-located nipple and areola to a normal position. This study stresses the possibility of harvesting the inferior dermal pedicle flap from within the postburn scar tissue without necrosis of the nipple and areola, because of the excellent flap circulation. Acceptable aesthetic appearance and retainment of nipple viability and sensitivity can be achieved with the inferior pedicle technique even with postburn deformity of the breast. The study was conducted on 11 women, all of whom had sustained deep thermal burns to the breasts and anterior torso and whose breasts were hypertrophied and pendulous. 相似文献
