Combined platelet-rich plasma and lipofilling treatment provides great improvement in facial skin-induced lesion regeneration for scleroderma patient…

Background The use of stem cells, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), for regenerative medicine is gaining interest for the clinical benefits so far obtained in patients. This study investigates the use of adipose autologous tissue in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to improve the clinical outcome of patients affected by systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) and PRPs were purified from healthy donors and SSc patients. The multilineage differentiation potential of AD-MSCs and their genotypic–phenotypic features were investigated. A cytokine production profile was evaluated on AD-MSCs and PRPs from both healthy subjects and SSc pat…

Intratissular expansion–mediated, serial fat grafting: A step-by-step working algorithm to achieve 3D biological harmony in autologous breast reconst…

Background Breast reconstruction involves the use of autologous tissues or implants. Occasionally, microsurgical reconstruction is not an option because of insufficient donor tissues. Fat grafting has become increasingly popular in breast surgery. The challenge with this technique is how to reconstruct a stable and living “scaffold” that resembles a breast. Methods Breast reconstruction (n = 7) was performed using intratissular expansion with serial deflation–lipofilling sessions. Mean age of the patients was 41 years (22–53). The expander generated a vascularized capsule at 8 weeks, which demarcated a recipient site between the skin and the capsule itself, and functioned as a vascular sour…

SURGICAL CORRECTION OF LABIA MINORA HYPERTROPHY, A PERSONAL TECHNIQUE

2018

Background. Labia minora hypertrophy is a congenital or acquired condition in which both labia minora (or more rarely only one) protrude beyond the edge of the labia majora. The authors present a surgical technique of volumetric reduction of hypertrophic labia minora, associated with lipofilling of the labia majora. Methods. Between 2005 and 2014, 27 patients underwent surgical reduction of labia minora, as described by Altier and Rouzier. The indications for surgical treatment varied and were as follows: interference with sexual intercourse; poor hygiene; difficulty wearing tight-fitting pants; difficulty while performing sporting activities such as cycling; aesthetic complaints. The surgi…

Tratamiento de la disfonía por déficit de cierre glótico mediante laringoplastia de medialización con injertos de grasa autólogos. Revisión del proce…

2020

Introducción Una de las principales técnicas quirúrgicas para el tratamiento de la disfonía por insuficiencia glótica ha sido tradicionalmente la laringoplastia de medialización mediante diversos procedimientos, entre ellos la infiltración de diversas sustancias. La generalización del uso de injertos grasos en el ámbito de la cirugía reconstructiva se ha traducido en los últimos años en el uso de este material autólogo como relleno para realizar estas infiltraciones. No obstante, hasta 2016, sólo existían 4 estudios en los que se empleara grasa obtenida mediante lipoaspiración, y ninguno de ellos utilizó injertos procesados mediante centrifugación. Por otra parte, aunque el campo de los inj…

Adipose stem cells on the basis of tumor transformation

Mesenchymal stem cells thanks to their differentiated multipotent ability are considered the most promising candidate for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The source of mesenchymal stem cells up to about 20 years was represented by the bone marrow, but due to their limited amount of cells together with a very invasive and painfull surgical treatment, poorly accepted by patients, has led the scientific community to investigate an alternative mesenchymal stem cells source with similar properties. In particular, the adipose tissue has attracted the greatest interest thanks to its relative abundance, the easy of availability and the large amounts of mesenchymal stem cells which are…

Reconstrucción mamaria inmediata mediante grasa autóloga tras tumorectomía de mama

2017

Uno de los progresos más notables en cirugía plástica en los últimos años, consiste en la capacidad que hemos adquirido, tras varias décadas de ensayos frustrados, del uso de la grasa autóoga como autoinjerto. La grasa autologa, es decir de uno mismo, es el mejor material de relleno que se pueda imaginar: es fácil de extraer y no deja secuelas ya que la liposucción es una técnica atraumática, es absolutamente inocuo desde el punto de vista alergogénico, ya que forma parte de nuestro organismo, es permanente y el coste de realizar este tratamiento es muy bajo. Otro de los avances de la medicina en estas últimas décadas consiste en la cirugía conservadora de mama: se extirpa el tumor mamario …
