1 Plastic surgery - in general Principles of plastic and reconstructive surgery Dr. T. Németh, DVM, Ph.D, Diplomate ECVS Assoc. Professor and Head Definition: Surgical correction of morphological and/or functional defects and malformations of congenital or aquired nature plastic cosmetic Purpose: human veterinarian Plastic surgery - in general Conditions - Tools: special incisions (elliptic, Z- plasty etc.) special suturing techniques (gently handling, specific suture patterns: tensions sutures, intradermal suture etc.) special instrumentation (fine (Bard-Parker) scalpel blades and scalpel handle, Olsen-Hegar combined needle holder and scissors, atraumatic fine tissue forceps, straight, sharp Mayo scissors etc.) atraumatic needle and monophil non-absorbable materials (polypropylene, polyamide etc.) Major techniques in plastic surgery I. Plastic closure of wounds of different shape II. Tension-relieving techniques III. Skin reconstruction techniques Major techniques in plastic surgery I. Plastic closure of wounds of different shape II. Tension-relieving techniques III. Skin reconstruction techniques I. Plastic closure of wounds of different shape 1. Fusiform defect 2. Triangular defect 3. Rectangular defect 4. Rescent defect 5. Circular defect 1

2 Major techniques in plastic surgery I. Plastic closure of wounds of different shape II. Tension-relieving techniques II. Tension-relieving techniques 1. Simple tension-relieving incisions - unflexible skin areas - short incisions paralel to the wound - secondary intention wound healing III. Skin reconstruction techniques 2

Skin reconstruction techniques Skin defect : lack of skin which is not able to be attached via suturing traumatic (injury) surgical (operative) Methods of skin reconstructuring I. Pedicle grafts I. Pedicle grafts Definition portion of skin (skin flap) and subcutaneous tissue with vascular attachement moved from one area of the body to another Methods of skin reconstructuring I. Pedicle grafts 1. Local flaps 1. Subdermal plexus flaps 2. Axial pattern flaps 2. Distant flaps II. Skin (free) grafts III. Other 6

7 Local subdermal plexus flaps Local subdermal plexus flaps The flap is developed just adjacent to the skin defect: advancement flap: forward move rotation flap: curved move transposition flap: 90-degree lateral move 3 distinct skin plexuses : subdermal (deep) cutaneuos (middle) subpapillary (supf) interpolation flap: no common edge 7

14 I.2. Distant flaps I.2. Distant flaps pedicle grafts developed at a giving distance from the recipient bed, because the skin adjacent to the defect is not suitable for skin reconstruction ( direct, indirect ) a. Pedicle / bipedicle direct flap b. Indirect flap / Tubed flap c. Free flap a. Pedicle / bipedicle direct flap a. Pedicle / bipedicle direct flap - the recipient bed covered with a further single pedicle or bipedicle flap - the donor and the recipient surfaces are attached and fixed to each other a. Bipedicle direct flap a. Bipedicle direct flap 14

Skin (free) grafts III. Other II. Skin grafts Definition a segment of epidermis and dermis that is completely removed and transferred to the recipient site Classification (1) immunologicaly a., autograft: same organism b., allograft: same species c., xenograft: different species d., isograft: between identical twins or F 1 hybrids II. Skin grafts Skin grafts Classification: - (2) surgically Full thickness graft Split thickness graft Mesh graft Seed / stamp graft Strip graft 16

17 Full thickness graft Full thickness graft to cover large lesions on flexor surfaces or distal limb regions recipient bed to be prepared: scar or chr. gran. tissue is excised, scraped, or a clean wound is debrided and lavaged graft gained from lateral thoracic wall all subcutaneous tissue is removed nonabsorbables used for suturing Full thickness graft Split thickness graft advantages: looks like normal skin postoperative contraction is minimal no special equipment needed disadvantages: time-consuming survival rate is the worst worse hair growth compared with skin grafts Split thickness graft Split thickness graft composed of epidermis and a partial portion of dermis for extensive skin defects (mostly after burns) special instrumentation for gaining graft: dermatomes, razors or freehand cutting interrupted sutures for holding the graft advantage: very good survival disadvantage: susceptible to external effects hair growth is absent requires special instrument 17

18 Split thickness graft Mesh graft mesh-like piece of split or full thickness graft indication: large skin defect irregular wound surfaces special device: aluminium block of many staggered paralel rows of small cutting blades and a Teflon roller (dermotom) promotes epithelialisation and wound covering Mesh graft Mesh graft Mesh graft Mesh graft 18

19 Mesh graft Mesh graft Mesh graft Punch/ Seed / Stamp graft small pieces of full or split thickness skin indication: improve epithelialisation of large granulating wounds seeds harvested from ventral abdomen or inner surface of flank small pockets are created in the recipient bed simple to performe, resistant to infection Strip graft similar to seed/stamp grafts the graft is a full thickness skin strip a number of splits are placed in the granultion tissue bed paralel to each other Other methods of skin reconstructering Conventional acceleration of epithelisation Omental-grafting Bio-syst (swine submucosa) accelerate secondary intention wound healing! 19
