- Tradução, adaptação e validação linguística do FACE-Q Câncer de Cabeça e Pescoço para o português do Brasil(2022) PAGOTTO, VITOR PENTEADO FIGUEIREDO; LOBATO, RODOLFO COSTA; BUSTILLO, ADRIANA MARGARITA BUELVAS; LOPES, CRISTIANE PEREIRA; TUTIHASHI, RAFAEL MAMORU CARNEIRO; BUSNARDO, FÁBIO DE FREITAS; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT Introduction: Head and neck neoplasms often affect fundamental functions, such as swallowing, speech, eating, and socializing. Evaluating their treatment should consider the physician’s opinion and the patient’s perspective. This difficulty in assessing the success of treatment led to the development of the FACE-Q Head and Neck Cancer Module, a questionnaire of patient-reported outcomes that measure the appearance, facial function, quality of life, and experience of care to head and neck neoplasms. The objective is to translation, cultural adaptation, and linguistic validation of the FACE-Q Head and Neck Cancer questionnaire for Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: The translation, cultural adaptation, and linguistic validation of the full questionnaire took place in four stages, using official guidelines from the World Health Organization and the International Society of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research. Results: A semantic, idiomatic, and conceptually equivalent Brazilian Portuguese version was achieved through a linguistically validated translation of the English FACE-Q Head and Neck Cancer module. Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese version presents a version equivalent to the original English instrument, which can be used as a critical patient-reported outcome assessment.
- Minced skin grafts for chronic wounds compared to conventional mesh grafts(2023) SANCHES-PINTO, Debora C.; ERIKSSON, Elof; GOMEZ, David S.; NUNES, Maria P. T.; GEMPERLI, Rolf; SORIANO, Francisco G.Background and AimsSkin grafting is the single most effective method to close a chronic wound. The current standard of care is to use meshed split thickness skin grafts. This entails the use of surgical instruments that need to be autoclaved and to have a power source, which usually requires an OR facility. The minced skin technique uses single use, presterilized instruments and the procedure can be done under local anesthesia, by a wound care practitioner, in a wound clinic, a physician's office or even at the bedside. The current study was designed to determine if the results from micrografting were non inferior to conventional mesh grafting. MethodsIn a prospective non inferiority study, 26 chronic ulcers were treated with micrografting (MSG) and 24 with conventional mesh grafts 1:3 (control group-CG) in a total of 21 patients, 10 male and 11 female. The donor site areas in the MSG group were predetermined to 2.5 x 5 cm and the mesh grafts expansion was set at 1:3. ResultsIn the first weeks postoperatively, micrograft healing initially lagged behind the conventional mesh grafts but at 60 days after grafting, all MSG wounds were healed. The MSG wounds had better pigmentation, less itching, and less scarring. The micrografting procedure was easy to learn and expeditious to perform. The MSG mean expansion was 9.1 compared to three times (CG). ConclusionThe MSG procedure is not inferior to conventional mesh grafting, requires smaller donor sites, and can be done with single use instruments, under local anesthesia, with early discharge.
- Tratamento cirúrgico de hemangioma infantil nasal e labial na fase involuída: relato de caso(2020) MENDES, MONIQUE; LOBATO, RODOLFO COSTA; ISHIDA, LUIZ CARLOS; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor and the most frequent benign neoplasm in childhood, with the highest incidence in females and the white population. Almost 60% of cases occur in the head and neck, and active treatment during the proliferative phase is the most frequently indicated, due to possible functional problems and disfiguring potential. We report a case of a patient with involute infantile hemangioma of the nasal tip and upper lip, treated expectantly during childhood, submitted to residual deformity correction with rhinoplasty techniques, associated with zetaplasty and upper lip grafting with good results and patient satisfaction.
- Prospective study of inflammatory response in patients submitted to abdominoplasty after bariatric surgery [Estudo prospectivo da reposta inflamatória em pacientes submetidas à abdominoplastia pós-cirurgia bariátrica](2021) GIULIANI, N. D. R.; MODOLIN, M.; JUNIOR, W. C.; ROCHA, R. I.; GEMPERLI, R.Introduction: Obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with changes in inflammatory markers such as interleukins and CRP. This study evaluates the inflammatory response, through variations in interleukins and CRP, in patients undergoing abdominoplasty. Methods: Fourteen patients underwent abdominoplasty after weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery to maintain weight loss for at least18 months. Il4, IL6, IL10 and PCR levels were verified at times: preoperative, during surgery, 24 hours after surgery, 7th postoperative day and 14th postoperative day. Results: IL4 increased in the 24 hours postoperatively and continued on the rise until the 14th day. IL10 went up during surgery and began to fall in the 24 hours postoperatively to levels lower than the initial ones. IL6 began to rise during surgery, being more expressive in the 24 hours postoperatively, followed by a fall until the 14th day. CRP increased 24 hours postoperatively and remained discharged until the 14th day. Conclusion: Abdominoplasty reduced the chronic inflammatory systemic condition. © 2021, Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plastica (SBCP). All rights reserved.
- Bilateral V-Y medial fasciocutaneous thigh flap in perineal reconstruction for hidradenitis suppurativa: Case report(2023) VICENTE-RIVAS, A. F.; PAGOTTO, V. P. F.; BUSCARIOL, S.; ITO, M.; GEMPERLI, R.Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that preferentially affects the intertriginous skin and is associated with numerous systemic comorbidities. The perineal area is the second most commonly affected area after the armpit. Wide excision is the treatment most likely to achieve better results with a lower risk of recurrence. With extensive surgical excision, flap closure offers a greater likelihood of definitive treatment. Some flaps have been described to reconstruct defects in the perineal region after cancer, but few have been studied in treating HS. Case Report: A 43-year-old woman with perineal HS underwent resection of the lesions and reconstruction with a bilateral V-Y medial thigh fasciocutaneous flap to treat the disease. The flap allowed complete closure of the total perineum without serious complications. Conclusion: This case shows that it is useful and practical to use the V-Y medial thigh fasciocutaneous flap for perineal reconstruction after wide resections of skin, apocrine glands, and hair follicles in the treatment of HS, offering good skin coverage and subcutaneous cellular tissue with supply reliable vascular flap, which avoids sequelae associated with muscle sacrifice and reaches larger dimensions than other flaps, and can be considered in selected cases as an alternative in the surgical treatment of perineal HS.
- Xantogranuloma juvenil gigante: acometimento palpebral difuso e simultâneo(2019) FRIEDHOFER, HENRI; VASSILIADIS, ANETA HIONIA; LOBATO, RODOLFO COSTA; MOHR-BELL, VANESSA ANNE; JESUS, MATEUS NEVES DA SILVA DE; SCAPOLAN, MAIRA BENITO; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common benign tumor of the group of non-Langerhans histiocytic proliferative diseases. Lesions; 2 cm are considered giant JXG, with reports of lesions of up to 18 cm. Oculopalpebral lesions may require surgical treatment to control symptoms. This study reports a case of an 8-year-old boy who had four eyelids and the middle third of the face affected by giant JXG. He underwent three resections, one of which was of great depth that required a full-thickness skin graft directly on the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis. Subsequently, three fat-grafting procedures were performed and adequate functional and aesthetic results were achieved without lesion recurrence.
- Rinoplastia preservadora piezoelétrica: uma abordagem alternativa para tratamento de nariz bífido em fissura facial nº 0 de Tessier(2020) ISHIDA, LUIZ CARLOS; LOBATO, RODOLFO COSTA; LUITGARDS, BRUNO FERREIRA; CARVAS, MARCELO JOSÉ MONTEIRO; RODRIGUEZ, JUAN FELIPPE GUIMARÃES URCIOLI MOSQUERA DE; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT The bifid nose management in Tessier nº 0 facial cleft is controversial due to its characteristics, such as a wide bone vault, low dorsal height, excessive skin, soft tissues volume, and distant upper and lower lateral cartilages. Conservative rhinoplasty techniques, using piezoelectric instruments, can be a good option for the bifid nose treatment, as they preserve the roof and upper lateral cartilages and perform a more accurate osteotomy. We report the treatment of bifid nose in a 13-year-old boy with facial cleft No. 0, to whom was performed conservative rhinoplasty with the aid of piezoelectric material. Given the excess of skin and soft tissues, a completely external transcutaneous approach was chosen. For osteotomies, lateral fractures under direct piezo-assisted vision were performed to have better control of the bone vault narrowing. The upper lateral cartilages and the internal nasal valves were preserved and brought back to the midline with horizontal “U” sutures to obtain a projection of the cartilaginous vault. A large segment of skin and soft tissue was excised after narrowing the nasal vault. A year of follow-up shows a narrow bone pyramid, better projection, and tip definition, but persisting with a vertically short nose. Conservative rhinoplasty techniques, assisted by piezoelectrics, may be an option for bifid nose treatment, requiring long-term follow-up and a study with more cases.
- Complicação grave do uso irregular de silicone industrial em paciente transexual: relato de caso(2020) MENDES, MONIQUE; MONTEIRO, GUSTAVO GOMES RIBEIRO; BASTOS, EMILLY FREIRE BARBOSA; MILCHESKI, DIMAS ANDRÉ; MONTEIRO JUNIOR, ARALDO AYRES; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT The use of industrial liquid silicone as a material for aesthetic modification of body contour is a practice that has been carried out clandestine for about 60 years. Currently, most reports come from countries in Asia and South America, and the victims are mainly women and transsexuals. Due to the large number of cases with complications, the use of industrial silicone for aesthetic purposes has never been approved. However, it continues to be applied alone or associated with other products, determining severe local and systemic complications. We report a case of death of a transsexual patient after injecting industrial silicone in the thighs and buttocks.
- Supraclavicular flap for head and neck oncological reconstruction: A series of 62 cases(2023) TAKAHASHI, G. G.; RIBEIRO, R. D. A.; PAGOTTO, V. P. F.; FERNANDES, T. R. R.; ALVES, H. R. N.; BUSNARDO, F. D. F.; GEMPERLI, R.Introduction: The oncological reconstruction of extensive defects in the head and neck requires the plastic surgeon to make a difficult decision between the use of free flaps and pedicled flaps. The supraclavicular flap is one of the main examples of a pedicled flap, being versatile, with a thin thickness and similar color to the region to be reconstructed. Method: A retrospective study was carried out by collecting data from medical records of patients admitted to the Cancer Institute of the State of São Paulo between December 2010 and March 2020. Results: Among the 62 patients reconstructed with a supraclavicular flap, 37 were male and 25 female. Fifty-eight patients (93.5%) had some associated comorbidity. In total, 27 complications related to the flap (43.5%) were recorded, 5 of which were total necrosis (8%). Conclusion: The supraclavicular flap plays an important role in head and neck oncological reconstructions and should be considered as an option in patients who are poor candidates for microsurgical flaps.
- Access to reconstructive plastic surgery for patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the Unified Health System (SUS)(2023) SECANHO, MURILO SGARBI; CINTRA JR, WILSON; CARNEIRO, IGOR CASTRO; ALVES, GUILHERME FREDERICO FERRO; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT Introduction: obesity is one of the most common diseases worldwide, and the most effective treatment to it is the bariatric surgery. One of the negative impacts of this procedure is the body dysmorphia caused by overhanging skin. In Brazil, the national health system - Sistema Único de Sáude (SUS) - provide body contouring surgery to treat post-bariatric patients, since 2007. This article aims to describe the Brazilian public health approach to post bariatric patients and perform an analyze in the Brazilian health care database. Methods: in Brazilian Health System database, a search for the post-bariatric procedures performed between 2007 to 2021 was done. The variables analyzed were geographic location, year, mean days of hospitalization, death, and mortality rate. Also, we evaluated the number of bariatric procedures done in the same period. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student-t and the chi-square tests and p-value <0.5 was considered significant. Results: a total of 12,717 plastic surgery procedures in post bariatric patients were done, with a national prevalence of 13.8%. Dermolipectomy was the most performed procedure, with 6,719. The years of 2020 and 2021 suffered a decreased of 64.3% and 70.9% in the number of surgeries (p<0,001). Bariatric Procedures had a high rate and a higher percentage of growth comparing to post bariatric surgery (p<0,001), totalizing 93,589 surgeries. Conclusions: Brazil had a significant number of body contouring surgery, however with a low prevalence. Dermoliepctomy was the most common procedure performed. We could notice a significant impact of COVID pandemic in those procedures .
