Full textEn chirurgie plastique, le Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada propose des objectifs d'études bien définis, cependant il n'y a pas de curriculum défini afin d'atteindre ces objectifs. Plusieurs facteurs réduisent l'aspect pratique du modèle en fonction du temps existant, et comme résultat, le modèle d'enseignement basé sur la compétence fut proposé pour remplacer le modèle traditionnel. La réalisation d'un curriculum basé sur la compétence demande autant l'identification des procédures spécifique de cette spécialité que des étapes procédurales. Ce projet tend à développer une méthodologie pour l'identification des étapes procédurales pour chacune des procédures de la chirurgie plastique. Les études précédentes ont démontrées que les résidents manquent d'exposition aux connaissances de plusieurs domaines de la chirurgie plastique, particulièrement vrai pour la chirurgie esthétique. Il est donc important, pour les résidents, d'explorer tous les avenues pour augmenter cette exposition et leurs opportunités de formation. La cible additionnelle de ce projet est d'atteindre ces objectifs par le développement d'un mannequin-simulateur pilote pour l'entraînement en chirurgie esthétique. L'identification des étapes procédurales en chirurgie plastique, en concert avec l'entraînement par simulateur, engendre une nouvelle étape vers la réalisation d'une éducation basée sur la compétence en chirurgie plastique.

Full textIntroduction: Ethics in oral-maxillofacial surgery (OMS) remain understudied. The purposes of this dissertation were (1) to identify the ethical problems of human subject protection (HSP) and conflicts of interest (CoI) in OMS researches, (2) to propose the guidelines as to maintain scientific integrity and ethical standards in this surgical speciality, and (3) to analyse clinical data concerning jaw lesions to discuss the ethical considerations on clinical decision-making. Methods: This cumulative thesis consisted of 2 parts: research ethics and clinical ethics. Part 1: research ethics, included 1 narrative review, 4 retrospective and 2 cross-sectional studies on: (1) research misconduct, (2) HSP and CoI in OMS journals, (3) HSP and CoI in researches on 2 OMS innovations (piezoelectric surgery; endoscope-assisted submandibular sialadenectomy), (4) publication bias in the OMS literature, (5) ethical issues in the guideline to authors of OMS journals, and (6) a questionnaire survey enrolling 326 maxillofacial surgeons worldwide. Part 2: clinical ethics, comprised 1 systematic review and 3 retrospective studies on: (1) osteoradionecrosis, (2) odontogenic keratocysts, (3) ameloblastoma, and (4) complications of fibular free flaps. Descriptive and univariate statistics were computed when appropriate, and a P-value of < 0. 05 was considered statistically significant. Results: HSP and disclosure of CoI in OMS researches are still lacking. The possible reasons are (1) the OMS journals themselves (lack of ethical issues in the instructions to authors and/or failure of editors and/or reviewers to be strict with their own regulations/policies and international ethical standards) and/or (2) the OMS authors (lack of ethical education, inadequate research experience, bias from career self-interest or financial gains, ignorance about research ethics, or a combination of these). Clinical data on jaw lesions and their management can be incorporated into the ethical approach to clinical decisionmaking. However, the studies on this matter usually contain inadequate internal validity. Conclusions: The results of these studies suggest that HSP and disclosure of CoI receive little attention from the OMS speciality. It is, therefore, high time to have appropriate oversight of ethical breaches and implement the measures as a standard in peer-review publishing. An author/investigator has to adhere strictly to the research ethics standards. Adequate research training for oral-maxillofacial surgeons would help reduce both intentional and unintentional scientific malpractice. Ethics and clinical decisionmaking require further investigations
Hintergrund: Ethische Aspekte in der Mund-Kiefer-Gesichtschirurgie (MKG-Chirurgie) wurden bislang kaum beleuchtet. Anliegen der Dissertation war [1] die Identifikation von Problemen beim Schutz des Menschen und Interessenkonflikte der MKG-chirurgischen Forschung, [2] die Formulierung von Leitlinien zur Sicherstellung der wissenschaftlichen Integrität und der ethischen Standards in dieser chirurgischen Disziplin, und [3] die Analyse klinischer Daten zu Erkrankungen des Kiefers zur Erörterung ethischer Erwägungen auf die klinische Entscheidungsfindung. Methode: Diese kumulative Dissertation gliedert sich in 2 Hauptteile: [1] Ethikforschung und [2] Klinische Ethik. Der Teil 1: Ethikforschung, beinhaltet 1 traditionellen Übersichtsartikel, 4 retrospektive Studien und 2 Querschnittstudien zu [1] Fehlleistungen in der Forschung (wissenschaftliches Fehlverhalten), [2] Schutz des menschlichen Individuums in der MKG-chirurgischen Literatur, [3] Schutz des menschlichen Individuums bei zwei neuartigen MKG-chirurgischer Verfahren (piezoelektrische Chirurgie; endoskopisch gestützte Exstirpation der Glandula submandibularis), [4] Ergebnisverzerrung (Publikationsbias) in der MKG-chirurgischen Literatur, [5] Ethik-Aspekte in den Richtlinien für Autoren von MKG-chirurgischen Zeitschriften und [6] eine auf Fragebögen basierende Querschnittstudie, welche ein Kollektiv von 326 MKG-Chirurgen weltweit erfasst. Der zweite Teil: Klinische Ethik, enthält 1 systematischen Übersichtsartikel und 3 retrospektive Studien zu den Themen [1] Osteoradionekrose, [2] odontogenen Keratozyste, [3] Ameloblastom und [4] Komplikationen des freien Fibulatransfers. Deskriptive und univariate statistische Daten wurden, sofern möglich, berechnet; für das Signifikanzniveau konnte ein p-Wert von < 0,05 festgelegt werden. Ergebnis: Innerhalb der MKG-chirurgischen Forschung gibt es noch immer Defizite hinsichtlich des Schutzes des menschlichen Individuums und der Offenlegung von Interessenkonflikten. Mögliche Ursachen hierfür reichen von [1] redaktionellen Problemen bei den MKG-chirurgischen Zeitschriften (fehlende Ethik-Standards in den Instruktionen für Autoren, Unschärfen seitens der Herausgeber bzw. Gutachter bezüglich der strikten Umsetzung von journaleigenen oder globalen Regeln) bis hin zu [2] autorenbezogenen Problemen (Wissenslücken, Verwerfungen durch Karrieredenken, finanzielle Interessen); auch Kombinationen multipler Gründe sind denkbar. In die klinische Daten über kieferchirurgische Erkrankungen und deren Management sollten ethische Ansätze bei der therapeutischen Entscheidungsfindung einfließen. Bisherigen Studien zu diesem Thema fehlt es in der Regel an interner Validität. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sprechen dafür, dass dem Schutz des menschlichen Individuums und der Offenlegung von Interessenkonflikten innerhalb der MKG-chirurgischen Forschung bisher zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Es ist somit höchste Zeit, geeignete Überwachungsverfahren zum Schutz vor ethischen Rechtsverletzungen zu etablieren und diese Maßnahmen als Standard in den Begutachtungsprozess für internationale Publikationen (‚peer-review publishing‘) einzuführen. Jeder Autor bzw. Forscher sollte sich strikt an ethische Standards halten. Geeignete diesbezügliche Fortbildungen für MKG-Chirurgen könnten bewusste und unbewusste wissenschaftliche Fehltritte vermeiden helfen. Die klinische Entscheidungsfindung unter ethischen Aspekten bedarf in Zukunft weiterer Untersuchungen

Full textAquesta tesi ha estat realitzada a Crisalix amb la col·laboració de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra sota el pla de Doctorats Industrials. Crisalix té com a objectiu la millora de la comunicació entre els professionals de la cirurgia plàstica i els pacients, proporcionant una solució a la pregunta que sorgeix més freqüentment durant el procés de planificació d'una operació quirúrgica ``Com em veuré després de la cirurgia?''. La solució proposada per Crisalix està basada en la tecnologia d'imatge 3D. Aquesta tecnologia genera la reconstrucció 3D de la zona del pacient operada, seguit de la possibilitat de crear múltiples simulacions obtenint la representació dels possibles resultats de la cirurgia. Aquesta tesi presenta un sistema capaç de reconstruir cares i pits de pacients de cirurgia plàstica a partir de fotos 2D i escanegis. La reconstrucció en 3D d'un objecte és un problema complicat degut a la presència d'ambigüitats. Els mètodes basats en models estadístics son adequats per mitigar-les. En aquest treball, hem seguit la intuïció de maximitzar l'ús d'informació prèvia, introduint-la al model estadístic per millorar les seves propietats. En primer lloc, explorem els Active Shape Models (ASM) que són un conegut mètode fet servir per alinear contorns d'objectes 2D. No obstant, un cop aplicades les correccions de forma del model estadístic, es difícil de mantenir informació de la que es disposava a priori (per exemple, un petit conjunt de punts donat) inalterada. Proposem una nova projecció ponderada amb un terme de regularització, que permet obtenir formes que compleixen les restriccions de forma imposades i alhora són plausibles en concordança amb el model estadístic. En segon lloc, ampliem la metodologia per aplicar-la als anomenats 3D Morphable Models (3DMM) que són un mètode extensivament utilitzat per fer reconstrucció 3D. No obstant, els mètodes de 3DMM existents presenten algunes limitacions. Alguns estan basats en optimitzacions no lineals, computacionalment costoses i que poden quedar atrapades en mínims locals. Una altra limitació, és que no tots el mètodes proporcionen la resolució adequada per representar amb precisió els detalls de l'anatomia. Donat l'ús mèdic de l'aplicació, la precisió i la robustesa són factors molt importants a tenir en compte. Mostrem com la inicialització i l'ajustament de 3DMM poden ser millorats fent servir la projecció ponderada amb regularització proposada. Finalment, es presenta un sistema capaç de reconstruir models 3D de pacients de cirurgia plàstica a partir de dos possibles tipus de dades: imatges 2D i escaneigs en 3D. El nostre mètode es fa servir en diverses etapes del procés de reconstrucció: alineament de formes en imatge, la inicialització i l'ajustament de 3DMM. Els mètodes desenvolupats han estat integrats a l'entorn de producció de Crisalix provant la seva validesa.

Full textThe repair of full-thickness defects of the lower eyelids poses a challenge because a graft in combination with a flap is typically used to replace either the posterior or anterior lamella. This often results in aesthetically and functional unsatisfactory outcomes. A rotation-advancement tarso-conjunctival cheek flap, which reconstructs both posterior and anterior lamella with vascularized tissue similar to the native eyelid, is described. Nine patients underwent reconstruction with a rotation-advancement tarso-conjunctival cheek flap. The indications, complications and outcomes were evaluated. The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 60 months with an average of twenty three months. The main indication for use of this flap is full-thickness defects of the lower eyelid between 25 – 75 %, typically after tumour ablation. All the patients had a functional and aesthetically satisfactory outcome. One patient underwent a revision canthoplasty. The rotation-advancement tarso-conjunctival cheek flap adheres to basic plastic surgery principles resulting in a satisfactory outcome; (a) Vascularized tissue is used to reconstruct the defect. (b)The flap composition is similar to the native eyelid i.e. replace like with like. (c) The flap makes use of tissue that is excess and therefore limits donor morbidity.

Full textUse of perforators as recipient vessels in microvascular reconstruction has led to arterial diameter discrepancy becoming an increasingly common finding. Experimental and clinical evidence confirms that patency rates decrease with increasing diameter mismatch, but no good evidence is available to direct the choice of end-to-end microanastomotic technique where a small-to-large discrepancy exists. A programme of research has been conducted comparing two techniques of endto-end arterial microanastomoses, where a small-to-large diameter discrepancy exists of between 1:1.5 and 1:2.5. These techniques are; 45º oblique section of the smaller vessel, and; invaginating the smaller vessel inside the larger.

Full textDespite the success of negative-pressure wound therapy, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The common perception that it reduces tissue pressure and increases perfusion has recently been challenged following the observation that tissue necrosis can be caused as a result of its application. A programme of research has been conducted to clarify how tissue pressure changes during negative-pressure wound therapy and the resultant effect thereof on perfusion. The cause for conflicting evidence from other studies was also investigated.

Full textFull thickness wounds, such as deep burns, need restoration of both the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. In normal wound healing, re-epithelialization occurs by migration and proliferation of keratinocytes from the wound edges and by differentiation of stem cells from remaining hair follicles. Restoration of dermis occurs by influx of growth factors secreted by macrophages, platelets, and fibroblasts; by fibroblast proliferation and subsequent synthesis and remodeling of collagenous dermal matrix. In the case of full-thickness acute burn injuries and chronic wounds (e.g. pressure ulcers, venous ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers), these processes are defective. With the principles of tissue engineering in mind (to correct, improve and maintain tissues and their functions), researchers have developed promising materials and methods to make it possible to restore either the dermal (Integra® DRT, Alloderm®) or the epidermal layer (split thickness skin grafts (STSG), cultured epithelial autografts (CEA), autologous keratinocytes in single cell suspension). It is now well established that superior results are obtained if both dermal and epidermal components are combined, for example in a bilayered skin equivalent. Apligraf® is recommended for use on venous ulcers and is the only bilayered living skin equivalent currently approved by the FDA. Studies on different factors affecting the wound healing capacity as well as techniques in use provide valuable information for further development.
In this licentiate thesis, we evaluated different transplantation techniques for delivering cultured human keratinocytes in single cell suspension, a measure becoming more frequently used in addition to STSG and CEA for restoring the epidermal layer of the skin. We found that the pressure device, commonly used to spray cell suspension onto the wound with pressures as high as 200 kPa, killed around 0% of the cells. In comparison, an ordinary syringe with the attachment of a spray nozzle showed almost 90% viable cells post transplantation and provided an equally good distribution of the cell suspension.
We also studied different silver containing dressings regarding silver accumulation in human skin. In addition, we graded the re-epithelialization to evaluate whether the dressings caused any delay in the wound healing process. We found that the silver dressings tested, with few exceptions, caused dermal accumulation of silver, primarily aggregated around blood vessels. We could also show that most of the dressings had negative effect on the re-epithelialization.
For the restoration of the dermal layer of the skin, Integra® DRT functions as a scaffold for guided tissue regeneration of the dermis. We had the possibility to study a case of necrotizing fasciitis were the treatment consisted of the use of Integra® DTR together with sub-atmospheric pressure (after initial surgical debridement) and later transplantation of split thickness skin grafts. This measure proved to be safe as well as giving satisfactory pliable and aesthetically acceptable result.
