Abstract
Bifid nose is a rare congenital malformation, and few cases have been reported due to its low incidence. Herein, we report a new surgical procedure to treat patients with excess dorsal nasal tissue and an underfilled tip. A total of 22 patients with bifid nose deformities underwent surgery at our institution between 2012 and 2022. They were characterized by a broad nasal dorsum and a missing or underdeveloped nasal tip. We designed an innovative island flap of nasal dorsum as a new surgical method for treating this bifid nose deformity. Nasal length, tip projection, and photographs of nose morphology were obtained before and after the surgery. Outcomes, complications, indications, and patient satisfaction were analyzed and interviewed. The follow-up time ranges from 6 to 33 months (8.7 ± 5.5 months). The deformity was successfully corrected with an improved nasal appearance. Nasal length increased from initially 4.2 ± 0.3 mm to 4.6 ± 0.3 mm. Tip projection reached 19.9 ± 4.0 mm, which was 15.7 ± 2.9 mm before surgery. No severe complications were observed except poor venous reflux within postoperative 72 hours in four cases. Six patients (27.3%) got moderate healing and acceptable scars, and 14 patients (63.6%) got good healing. Most patients were very satisfied with the outcome (93.9%). The newly designed nasal dorsum island flap is a safe and effective technical approach to correct nose deformity featured by broad nasal dorsum and a missing or underdeveloped nasal tip.

Biaxial stretching of polytetrafluoroethylene in industrial scale to fabricate medical ePTFE membrane with node-fibril microstructure. Regen Biomater 2023; 10:rbad056. [PMID: 37397871 PMCID: PMC10310521 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbad056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is promising in biomedical fields such as covered stents and plastic surgery owing to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, ePTFE material prepared by the traditional biaxial stretching process is with thicker middle and thinner sides due to the bowing effect, which poses a major problem in industrial-scale fabrication. To solve this problem, we design an olive-shaped winding roller to provide the middle part of the ePTFE tape with a greater longitudinal stretching amplitude than the two sides, so as to make up for the excessive longitudinal retraction tendency of the middle part when it is transversely stretched. The as-fabricated ePTFE membrane has, as designed, uniform thickness and node-fibril microstructure. In addition, we examine the effects of mass ratio of lubricant to PTFE powder, biaxial stretching ratio and sintering temperature on the performance of the resultant ePTFE membranes. Particularly, the relation between the internal microstructure of the ePTFE membrane and its mechanical properties is revealed. Besides stable mechanical properties, the sintered ePTFE membrane exhibits satisfactory biological properties. We make a series of biological assessments including in vitro hemolysis, coagulation, bacterial reverse mutation and in vivo thrombosis, intracutaneous reactivity test, pyrogen test and subchronic systemic toxicity test; all of the results meet the relevant international standards. The muscle implantation of the sintered ePTFE membrane into rabbits indicates acceptable inflammatory reactions of our sintered ePTFE membrane fabricated on industrial scale. Such a medical-grade raw material with the unique physical form and condensed-state microstructure is expected to afford an inert biomaterial potentially for stent-graft membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For Asian rhinoplasty patients with midfacial concavity, the conventional method is to solve the problem by using structural rhinoplasty to increase the nasal height and length. However, the results are not satisfying, and many complications are caused.Paranasal augmentation as an adjunct to rhinoplasty can improve surgical results and increase satisfaction. However, there are limited studies focusing on the details and evaluation of this technique. OBJECTIVES To investigate a minimally invasive method to correct midfacial concavity simultaneously with rhinoplasty, as well as improve satisfaction and reduce complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2019, we reviewed all rhinoplasty patient records from patients who had midfacial concavity and underwent simultaneous paranasal augmentation with our technique. The patient demographics, surgical characteristics, and outcomes were reviewed retrospectively. Satisfaction was evaluated by an independent medical staff who reviewed the preoperative and postoperative photos. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 28.7 ± 8.0 years, and the median follow-up time was 26 months (range, 2-60 months). Overall satisfaction was high (90%). Eight (12%) patients had complications, including 5 (7.4%) cases of implant displacement and 3 (4.4%) cases of infection. All patients healed uneventfully after revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS Paranasal augmentation can improve the outcome and increase satisfaction in Asian rhinoplasty patients who have midfacial concavity. Preoperative patient evaluation, surgery planning, and surgery details are crucial to ensure a favorable result. The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant has advantages over other materials and therefore is recommended in paranasal augmentation surgery.

Metallic Artifact Reduction in Midfacial CT Scans Using Patient-Specific Polymer Implants Enhances Image Quality. J Pers Med 2023; 13:236. [PMID: 36836470 PMCID: PMC9958634 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13020236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Midfacial reconstruction after tumor resection surgery is commonly conducted by using autologous bone grafts or alloplastic implants. Titanium is the most frequently used osteosynthesis material in these cases but causes disturbing metallic artifacts in CT imaging. The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate whether the use of midfacial polymer implants reduces metallic artifacts in CT imaging to improve image quality. Zygomatic titanium (n = 1) and polymer (n = 12) implants were successively implanted in a human skull specimen. Implants were analyzed for their effect on Hounsfield Unit values (streak artifacts) and virtual growth in CT images (blooming artifacts) as well as image quality. Multi-factorial ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used. Titanium (173.7 HU; SD ± 5.1) and hydroxyapatite containing polymers (155.3 HU; SD ± 5.9) were associated with significantly more streak artifacts compared to all other polymer materials. There was no significant difference in blooming artifacts between materials. The metallic artifact reduction algorithm showed no significant difference. Image quality was slightly better for polymer implants compared to titanium. Personalized polymer implants for midfacial reconstruction significantly reduce metallic artifacts in CT imaging which improves image quality. Hence, postoperative radiation therapy planning and radiological tumor aftercare around the implants are facilitated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various techniques with different grafts and implants have been proposed to establish a smooth and symmetric nasal dorsum with adequate function. Broadly, two categories of materials have been used in this regard: alloplastic implant materials and autograft materials. The aim of these meta-analyses is to explore the incidence of complications after dorsum augmentation surgery using alloplastic materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS After duplication removal 491 papers remained that title and abstract were assessed for eligibility. Regarding the study type, 27 observational studies were included, 21 retrospective and 6 prospective case series. A total of 3803 cases were enrolled in this systematic review and meta-analysis. RESULT Twenty-seven articles reported on complications and outcomes of dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty with synthetic materials. In a random-effects model, the weighted mean percentage was 2.75% (95% CI 1.61 to 4.17%). the weighted mean percentage were 1.91% (95% CI 0.77 to 3.54%), 0.72% (95% CI 0.316 to 1.31%), and 0.78% (95% CI 0.43 to 1.24%) respectively. CONCLUSION The widely used alloplasts were expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), high-density polyethylene, and silicone. The total rates for complications, infection, deviation, irregularity, hematoma, extrusion, and overcorrection were 2.75%, 1.91%, 0.72%, 0.70%, 0.78%, and 0.49%, respectively. The revision rate, based on the random effects model, was 6.40% with 95%CI (3.84 to 9.57).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Binder syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the midface. Since 1990, no systematic review has been conducted on this condition. Our study aims to review and collect the surgical treatment options available for correcting nasomaxillary dysplasia and the information available in the international literature on Binder syndrome and associated symptoms. METHODS This systematic literature review was registered in the PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) database. Systematic literature searches were performed in Medline, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. Study quality assessment was performed according to recommendations from the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Diagnostic Test Accuracy. RESULTS The authors identified 200 articles from our database research. One hundred sixty-nine articles were excluded after the title and abstract screening. Seven articles were excluded after screening the full text. In total, 24 clinical studies were included: 14 studies aim to describe a surgical option and 10 articles treat information about Binder syndrome or associated features. Most of the studies (12/14 studies) performed rhinoplasties to treat nasomaxillary dysplasia. The 2 other articles evaluated maxillary osteotomy techniques. Only 3 articles compared the results obtained from different surgical techniques. CONCLUSIONS No optimal surgical treatment plan has been developed, even if numerous surgical options are available. Etiology is still uncertain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discuss the clinical application and effectiveness of autologous costal cartilage transplantation in the repair of upper lip depression in the secondary repair of cleft lip. METHODS The clinical data of 10 patients of secondary repair of upper lip depression with cleft lip by autologous costal cartilage transplantation between January 2017 and January 2019 were retrospectively analysed. There were 7 males and 3 females with an average age of 24 years (range, 18-33 years). There were 8 cases of bilateral lip fissure and 2 cases of unilateral lip fissure. All of them underwent early lip repair at the age of 2-3 years old. The change of the profile of the soft tissue profile of the upper lip of the patient was quantitatively analyzed before operation and at immediate after operation, including the soft tissue facial angle (G-Sn-Pg'), the nasolabial angle (Cm-Sn-UL), the mentolabial angle (UL-LL-Pg'), the distance between the most salient point of the upper lip to the aesthetic plane (UL-E), the highest point of the frontal part, the projection distance of the most salient point of the upper lip on the plane of the orbital ear (G-UL), and the upper lip protrusion (ULP). RESULTS One case had incision infection and healed after dressing change, and in the other 9 patients, the incisions healed by first intention, and no acute infection and other complications occurred. The appearance of the lateral morphology of the upper lip at immediate after operation was significantly improved when compared with that before operation. The value of UL-LL-Pg', UL-E, G-UL, and ULP were significantly increased and G-Sn-Pg' was significantly decreased when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Cm-Sn-UL between pre- and post-operation ( t=0.821, P=0.433). All the 10 patients were followed up 6-24 months, with an average of 15 months. During the follow-up, the soft tissue morphology of the upper lip was good. No long-term complications such as cartilage absorption and cartilage displacement were found. CONCLUSION Autologous costal cartilage transplantation is a safe and effective treatment for upper lip depression in the secondary repair of cleft lip.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the technical points and effectiveness of autogenous costal cartilage transplantation in repair of Binder's syndrome. Methods Between June 2012 and June 2017, 8 cases of Binder's syndrome were admitted. There were 3 males and 5 females, aged 16-31 years (mean, 22 years). All patients were conformed to the typical manifestations of Binder's syndrome. The autogenous costal cartilage was harvested and carved into the nasal dorsum graft, nasal column graft, and nasal basement graft. Before and after operation, standard pictures of the anterior view, lateral view, and base view were taken to measure facial related parameters of nasal dorsum length, nasal columella-lobule ratio, nasofrontal angle, nasal columella-upper lip angle, nasal tip projection rate, and nasion projection. Then the effectiveness of this surgical procedure for Binder's syndrome was evaluated. Results All incisions healed by first intention without acute infections. All patients were followed up 6-36 months, with an average of 18 months. The foreign body sensation in upper lip and scar hyperplasia in thoracic incision occurred in 1 case, respectively. The nasal morphology improved significantly and the coordinated relationships of the nose with the upper lip and face were restored postoperatively. Postoperative parameter measurements were taken in 6 cases. The nasal dorsum length, nasal columella-lobule ratio, nasofrontal angle, nasal columella-upper lip angle, nasal tip projection rate, and nasion projection at preoperation were significantly improved when compared with the values at 6 months after operation ( P<0.05). The difference in nasal dorsum length, nasal tip projection rate, and nasion projection between actual values at 6 months after operation and normal values was no significant ( P<0.05). There was significant difference in nasal columella-lobule ratio between actual value at 6 months after operation and normal value ( P>0.05). Conclusion Autogenous costal cartilage transplantation in repair of Binder's syndrome can obviously improve patients' appearance of the external nose and middle face, and obtain the persistent effectiveness.
