Use of a Myringotome for Percutaneous Fasciotomies: A Technical Tip for Assisting Lipofilling

چکیده
Elias Sawaya, MD Aurelien Rousvoal, MD Department of Surgical Oncology Institut Bergonié, Faculty of Medicine University of Bordeaux Segalen Bordeaux, France Sir: A breast lipofilling is increasingly used in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery,1 patients frequently develop fine, retracted adhesions in these areas, which can prevent expansion by fat graft. In these cases, especially for breast reconstruction, it can be difficult to inject large volumes during lipofilling, and complementary motions are required to prepare the recipient site. To improve results of the first injection, we propose the use of a myringotome, an instrument used to achieve paracentesis in ear, nose, and throat surgery (Fig. 1).2 The myringotome is a disposable sterile instrument, with a narrow sharp blade at one end and a rigid handle at the other, allowing easy handling in different spaces. This instrument is very simple to use, efficient, and inexpensive.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach to Distal Fibula Fractures: A Technique Tip
Wound complications following ankle fracture surgery are a major concern. Through the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques some of these complications can be mitigated. Recent investigations have reported on percutaneous fixation of distal fibula fractures demonstrating similar radiographic and functional outcomes to traditional open approaches. The purpose of this manuscript is to ...

متن کاملUse of Forehead Flap for Nasal Tip Reconstruction after Traumatic Nasal Amputation
Nose is one of the most important aesthetic unit of the face.Management of nasal trauma plays a significant role in the practices of the majority of facial and reconstructive surgeons. Replantation, although technically very challenging, is undoubtedly the procedure of choice following traumatic nasal amputation. Here we present an illustrative case report of the traumatic amputation of a nasal...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Ultrasonic Evaluation of Horizontal Defects Using Time-of-Flight Diffraction
Time-of-flight diffraction method (ToFD) is an amplitude-independent sizing method which is based on the measurement of time-of-flight of defect tip diffracted waves. Although ToFD can measure through-wall length of defect accurately, this method is not capable of measuring horizontal defect size. In this paper, a new ToFD method for evaluating horizontal planar defects is presented. The finite...
