- Treatment of extrinsic ectropion on burned face with facial suspension technique(2014) VANA, Luiz Philipe Molina; ISAAC, Cesar; ALONSO, NivaldoThe extrinsic ectropion is a condition with low prevalence characterized by an ectropion with normal eyelid and anatomy unchanged and the cause is found in tissues adjacent orbits. There are not many studies in the literature regarding their treatment, especially without addressing the eyelid respecting its anatomical integrity. Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of 8 extrinsic ectropions secondary to facial burns treated with facial suspension technique. Patients and methods: Five patients were evaluated with sequelae of facial burns and extrinsic unilateral or bilateral ectropion, a total of 8 ectropions. The technique used was the endoscopic facial suspension with or without release of the facial scar retraction. We evaluated the position of the lower lid over medium-pupillary line, symptoms, complications and patient satisfaction in a 24 months follow-up. Results: 6 Peri-orbital regions showed good results and two moderate results, all cases had clinical improvement of the ectropion, the symptoms and the esthetic aspect; there was not any complication or reoperation. There was a gain of 2.2-26.2% of the lower eyelid margin position in relation to the horizontal mid-pupillary line. Conclusion: The endoscopic facial suspension proved to be a surgical technique with low morbidity and efficient treatment in 8 facial extrinsic ectropion.
- Comparative study of Silver Sulfadiazine with other materials for healing and infection prevention in burns: A systematic review and meta-analysis(2019) NIMIA, Heloisa Helena; CARVALHO, Viviane Fernandes; ISAAC, Cesar; SOUZA, Francisley Avila; GEMPERLI, Rolf; PAGGIARO, Andre OliveiraThe aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to compare the effect of Silver Sulfadiazine (SSD) with other new dressings, with or without silver, on healing and infection prevention in burns. The electronic search was carried out in the electronic databases of Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Lilacs and BVS. The articles included were randomized clinical trials about burn treatment with SSD, which evaluated the healing and infection of burn wounds in humans. The exclusion criteria included articles, editorials and letters published in the form of abstracts, unpublished reports and case series, cross-sectional, observational experimental studies, and the use of sulfadiazine for other types of wounds. The search identified 873 references, and 24 studies were included in accordance with the eligibility criteria. The results showed a statistically favorable difference related to the time of healing for silver dressings (p< 0.0001; MD 3.83; 95% CI 2.03-5.62) and dressings without silver (p< 0.007; MD 2.9; 95% CI 0.81-5.00) in comparison with SSD. The rate of infection showed no difference in the group treated with SSD compared with the group treated with dressings containing silver (p> 0.05). The rate of infection was significantly higher in the SSD group compared with the group treated with dressings without silver (p< 0.005; MD 25.29% and MD 12.97%). Considering the clinical trials conducted up to the present time, the authors concluded that new dressings withand without silver show better results than SSD for wound healing, and burn streated with dressings without silver are less likely to become infected than burns with SSD. No differences between SSD and new silver materials were observed in relation to infection prevention.
