OBJECTIVE: To explore an effective method to repair the abdominal wall defect. METHODS: From July 1996 to December 2000, 7 cases with abdominal wall defect were repaired by pedicle graft of intestine seromuscular layer and skin graft, among them, intestinal fistula caused by previous injury during operation in 4 cases, abdominal wall defect caused by infection after primary fistulization of colon tumor in 2 cases, abdominal wall invaded by intestinal tumor in 1 case. Exploratory laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia, the infective and edematous tissue around abdominal wall defect was gotten rid off, and the pathologic intestine was removed. A segment of intestine with mesentery was intercepted, and the intestine along the longitudinal axis offside mesentery was cutted, the mucous layer of intestine was scraped. The intestine seromuscular layer was sutured to the margin of abdominal wall defect, and grafted by intermediate split thickness skin. RESULTS: The abdominal wall wound in 6 cases were healed by first intention, but part of grafted skin was necrosed, and it was healed by second skin graft. No intestinal anastomotic leakage was observed in all cases. Followed up 1 to 2 years, there were no abdominal hernia or abdominal internal hernia. All the cases could normally defecate. The nutriture of all cases were improved remarkably. CONCLUSION: Pedicle graft of intestine seromuscular layer is a reliable method to repair abdominal wall defect with low regional tension, abundant blood supply and high successful rate.
ObjectiveTo study the treatment results of the pre-expanded flaps for scar contracture on face, neck, and joints by comparing with the skin grafts. MethodsA total of 240 cases of scar contracture between July 2004 and June 2014 were included in the study by random sampling; skin grafts were used in 120 cases (skin graft group), and preexpanded flaps in 120 cases (pre-expanded flap group). There was no significant difference in age, sex, injury sites, and disease duration between 2 groups (P>0.05). Re-operation rate and A&F 0-6 quantization score were used to evaluate the treatment results. ResultsThe patients were followed up 12 to 75 months (mean, 23.47 months) in the skin graft group, and 12 to 61 months (mean, 19.62 months) in the pre-expanded flap group. The re-operation rate of the skin graft group was 72.5% (87/120), and was significantly higher than that of the pre-expanded flap group (19.2%, 23/120) (P=0.000). The re-operation rate of the neck contracture in teenagers was the highest. It was 93.9% in the skin graft group and 35.0% in the pre-expanded flap group. In the patients who did not undergo re-operations, A&F 0-6 quantization score of the skin graft group was 2.85±1.12, and was significantly lower than that of the pre-expanded flap group (5.22±0.74) (t=13.830, P=0.000). ConclusionPre-expanded flap for scar contracture on face, neck, and joints has lower re-operation rate and better aesthetic and functional restoration than skin graft. It should be regarded as the preferred method for teenagers.
To discuss the advantages of two flap contouring methods and to explore the best choice for the flap contouring. Methods From March 2002 to March 2006, 59 patients were admitted for a flapcontouring operation. Of the 59 patients, 40 (32 males, 8 females; average age, 34 years) underwent the multiphase lipectomy (the multiphase lipectomy group). The original flaps included the abdominal flap in 19 patients, the groin flap in 10, the thoracic flap in 4, the free anteriolateral thigh flap in 6, and the cross leg flap in 1. The flaps ranged in size from 6cm×4 cm to 32 cm×17 cm. However, the remaining 19 patients (16 males, 3 females; average age, 28 years) underwent the onephase lipectomy with skin graft transplantation(the onephase lipectomy group). The original flaps included the abdominal flap in 4 patients, the groin flap in 6, the thoracic flap in 3, and the free anteriolateral thighflap in 6. The flaps ranged in size from 4 cm×3 cm to 17 cm×8 cm. The resultswere analyzed and compared. Results In the multiphase lipectomy group, partial flap necrosis developed in 4 patients but the other flaps survived. The followedup of 27 patients for 3 months to 2 years revealed that the flaps had a good appearance and texture, having no adhesion with the deep tissues. However, the flaps became fattened in 22 patients with their body weight gaining. The patietns who had a flap gt; 5 cm×5 cm in area had their sensation functions recovering more slowly; only part of the sensations to pain and heat recovered. The two point discrimination did not recover. In the onephase lipectomy group, total graft necrosis developed in 1 patient but the healing was achieved with additional skin graft transplantation; partial graft necrosis developed in 2patients but the wounds were healed after the dressing changes; the remaining flaps survived completely. The followup of the 16 patients for 3 months to 3 years revealed that all the 16 patients had a good sensation recovery, 12 patientshad the two point discrimination lt; 15 mm, with no recurrence of the fattening of the flaps; however, the grafted skin had a more severe pigmentation, and no sliding movement developed between the skin and the tissue basement. Conclusion The multiphase lipectomy and the onephase lipectomy with skin graft transplantation are two skin flap contouring methods, which have their ownadvantages and disadvantages. Which method is taken should be based on the repair location of the 〖WT5”BZ〗skin flap and the condition of the skin flap.

Objective To investigate the cl inical effect of Meek technique skin graft in treating exceptionally large area burns. Methods The cl inical data were retrospectively analysed from 10 cases of exceptionally large area burns treated with Meek technique skin graft from April 2009 to February 2010 (Meek group), and were compared with those from 10 casesof exceptionally large area burns treated with the particle skin with large sheet of skin allograft transplantation from January 2002 to December 2006 (particle skin group). In Meek group, there were 8 males and 2 females with an average age of 34.5 years (range, 5-55 years), including 6 cases of flame burns, 2 cases of hot l iquid burns, 1 case of electrical burn, and 1 case of hightemperature dust burn. The burn area was 82.6% ± 3.1% of total body surface area (TBSA). The most were deep II degree to III degree burns. The time from burn to hospital ization was (3.5 ± 1.3) hours. In particle skin group, there were 8 males and 2 females with an average age of 36.8 years (range, 18-62 years), including 5 cases of flame burns, 2 cases of hot l iquid burns, and 3 cases of gunpowder explosion injury. The burn area was 84.1% ± 7.4% of TBSA. The most were deep II degree to III degree burns. The time from burn to hospital ization was (4.9 ± 2.2) hours. There was no significant difference in general data between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The skin graft survival rate, the time of skin fusion, the systemic wound heal ing time, and the treatment cost of 1% of burn area were 91.23% ± 5.61%, (11.14 ± 2.12) days, (38.89 ± 10.36) days, and (5 113.28 ± 552.44) yuan in Meek group, respectively; and were 78.65% ± 12.29%, (18.37 ± 4.63)days, (48.73 ± 16.92) days, and (7 386.36 ± 867.64) yuan in particle skin group; showing significant differences between 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Meek technique skin graft has good effect in treating exceptionally large area burns with the advantages of high survival rate of skin graft, short time of skin fusion, and low treatment cost of 1% of burn area.
【Abstract】 Objective To explore the effect of early scrotal dermatoplasty on spermatogenic functional rehabilitation of testis in juvenile pigs with third degree burn wound of the scrotum. Methods Thirty healthy male Guizhou miniature pigs (weighing 10-15 kg, 2-month-old) were divided into 3 groups: control group (group A, n=10), natural healing group (group B, n=10), and dermatoplasty group (group C, n=10). In group A, the pig was not given any treatment; after third degree burn model of the scrotum was prepared, wounds were not treated in group B and the burn skin was excised and whole hypogastric pachydermia was used for dermatoplasty in group C. At 3 months and 1 year after model preparation, bilateral testis were collected from 5 pigs, respectively. HE staining was performed to observe the effects of different repair method on the morphology of spermatogenic cells and immunohistochemical staining was used to detect Survivin protein expression. Results All pigs survived to the end of the experiment and the wound healed successfully. Histological observation showed that spermatogenic cells had normal shape at all stages and mature sperms were seen in lumens in group A; the thickness of seminiferous epithelium was thinner, having one layer or two layers of spermatogenic cells in group B; the spermatogenic cells in group C were slightly more than that in group B with some spermatids; and in groups B and C, the spermatogenic cells at 1 year were more than that at 3 months. Immunohistochemistry staining showed that the Survivin protein expression in groups B and C was less than in group A, and group B was less than group C, showing significant differences at 3 months and 1 year (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference between 3 months and 1 year in the same group (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Dermatoplasty has inhibitory effect on spermatogenic functional rehabilitation of testis. Dermatoplasty can decrease spermatogenic cells and reduce Survivin protein expression, but some spermatids still survive in seminiferous tubule.
