    Management of Post-Facelift Facial Paralysis With Botulinum Toxin Type A
    (2022) SALLES, Alessandra Grassi; MOTA, Wellington Menezes; REMIGIO, Adelina Fatima do Nascimento; ANDRADE, Antonio Carlos Herrmann de; GEMPERLI, Rolf
    Background Facial nerve injury after facelift is rare; hence, its treatment is poorly established. Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) can be employed to resolve the asymmetry. To our knowledge, there is no protocol in the literature about the best timing for this treatment, injection sites, or recommended dose. Objectives The authors sought to propose a protocol to guide the management of asymmetries post-facelift. Methods Fifteen patients with post-rhytidectomy facial palsies were treated in the non-paralyzed side with BTXA. After analysis of the smile deviation vectors, it is possible to identify the muscles that should be treated. The dose varied from 1 to 2 volume-unit per point. Patients were examined after 15 days for outcomes evaluation and touch-up if needed. Patients were re-treated after 5 to 6 months in case of asymmetry recurrence. Results Symmetry was achieved in all cases. Six patients had definitive nerve lesions and required treatment every 6 months after the first session. Five patients had lesions affecting the upper third of the face; 4 of them were definitive nerve lesions. Two of the 4 patients who were treated less than 2 weeks after surgery recovered early from the post-facelift paralysis and developed reversed asymmetry due to the BTXA. In 7 patients, the post-facelift asymmetry was due to neuropraxis: the recovery from the nerve injury and BTXA treatment occurred symmetrically on both sides of the face in the following months after 1 single session. Conclusions Asymmetries post-facelift were successfully managed with the proposed protocol. The best time for injection was 2 to 4 weeks after surgery.

    Opções de tratamento cirúrgico em lesões cutâneas por extravasamento acidental de drogas: experiência do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP.
    (2018) MILCHESKI, Dimas André; MOTA, Wellington Menezes; LOBATO, Rodolfo Costa; MONTEIRO JÚNIOR, Araldo Ayres; GEMPERLI, Rolf
    ABSTRACT Objective: to report the experience of the Division of Plastic Surgery of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Medical School of the University of São Paulo in the treatment of cutaneous lesions due to accidental extravasation of drugs. Methods: we included patients with lesions due to extravasation of drugs over a period of 18 months. We retrospectively evaluated the following parameters: age, diagnoses during hospitalization and comorbidities, serum levels of albumin and hemoglobin, place of hospitalization, drug involved, anatomic segment affected, therapeutic management and death during hospitalization. Results: we followed-up 14 patients. The main drug involved was noradrenaline (21%). All patients underwent debridement of tissue necrosis. Three patients were submitted to flaps after preparation of the wound bed with negative pressure therapy, with good results. Seven patients had no definitive treatment of their lesions due to lack of clinical conditions. Conclusion: in patients with favorable clinical conditions, the definitive treatment with flaps was adequate for cases of wounds due to extravasation of drugs in the subcutaneous tissue when there was exposure of noble structures.

    Retalho interósseo posterior reverso do antebraço para o tratamento cirúrgico do trauma elétrico da mão: relato de caso
    (2019) LOBATO, RODOLFO COSTA; MOTA, WELLINGTON MENEZES; TUMA JUNIOR, PAULO; MILCHESKI, DIMAS ANDRÉ; NAKAMOTO, HUGO ALBERTO; GEMPERLI, ROLF
    ▪ ABSTRACT Introduction: Lesions affecting the hands with significant skin loss often require flaps for early coverage, as these permit faster healing. Among the various options, the reverse posterior interosseous flap of the forearm is most commonly used for defects involving the back of the hand and wrist due to low complication rates. Normally, this flap is not used for the reconstruction of defects in the palmar region since its distal reach is insufficient. Case report: We present the case of a male patient with third-degree electrical burns on his right palm, whose reconstruction was performed on the 14th day postinjury using the reverse posterior interosseous flap of the forearm after conservative debridement. The patient presented good postoperative evolution, without long-term complications or functional sequelae. Conclusion: The reverse posterior interosseous flap of the forearm permits adequate coverage of palm injuries, preserving its functionality.
