ResumenObjetivo: Presentar nuestra experiencia en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de 42 pacientes con síndrome de Goldenhar. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, observacional y retrospectivo usando el registro médico y fotográfico de todos los pacientes diagnosticados con síndrome de Goldenhar tratados por la unidad de cirugía craneofacial del departamento de cirugía plástica y reconstructiva del hospital Dr. Manuel Gea González entre 2010 y 2018. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 42 pacientes, el 54% varones, con predominio de menores de 10 años (57%), de los cuales todos se sometieron al menos a un procedimiento. Los procedimientos quirúrgicos se dividieron en: 14 auriculares (20%), 17 mandibulares (24%), 2 Lefort (4%), 10 volumen (14%), 9 macrostoma (13%) y 16 otros (21%). En total se realizaron 71 procedimientos. Conclusión: El síndrome de Goldenhar es una enfermedad poco frecuente que afecta diversas estructuras y se presenta predominantemente en varones. Es necesario un diagnóstico precoz y un manejo individualizado llevado a cabo por un equipo multidisciplinario encabezado por cirujanos plásticos.

Measurements from a certain population may show a similar pattern that allows an alteration to be easily recognized and enable a better surgical approach. In our population, the changes in the anthropometric measurements of the lips are unknown, so our objective is to determine the variations in these measurements by decades of age to achieve a better aesthetic and reconstructive surgical approach. Anthropometric measurements of the lips were taken with a vernier in relation to the previously marked anatomical points. The sample consists of 174 patients who came for care not related to labial pathologies with ages between 20 and 80 years with Mexican nationality. We use the sample calculation formula to estimate an average, with an alpha error of 0.5 and a tolerance of 2 mm of the data for the measurements of the height of the lower face with an average measurement of 56.2 mm and a SD of 8.87 mm of the Marzena’s article. Wyganowska-Świątkowska and colleagues Average measurements were obtained, where a progressive longitudinal increase in measures: al-ch, sbl-cph, sn-Is, li-sto, cph-Is, li-sl, ch-li, li-pg according to aging is confirmed. In contrast, the ch-cph and ch-sbl measures, remain the same despite the aging, showing greater changes in the sagittal plane than in the parasagittal. The study only shows measures of length, so caring out a magnetic resonance imaging study to also measure the volume and perform it with a larger sample to have the optimal standard is further needed.

Background: The full creation of an ear requires 2 reconstruction stages. In the second stage of reconstruction, the cartilaginous framework placed at first stage is separated from the head creating an auriculocephalic sulcus. Then a piece of rib cartilage is placed in the sulcus to maintain this separation and is covered with tissue that allows the integration of a full-thickness skin graft. Methods: A descriptive study based on the pre and postoperative medical records and photographic archives of patients diagnosed with microtia who underwent separation of the cartilaginous framework from February 2010 to July 2015 in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department at Hospital General Dr. Manuel Gea González. Results: Fifty-four patients met the selection criteria. The temporoparietal fascial flap was performed on 85% (n = 46), and 8 cases with random occipito-temporal fascial flap in association to a dermal regeneration template. The average time at the operating room was 177 minutes in patients with temporoparietal fascial flap versus 84.5 minutes in dermal regeneration template. The complication rate was 25.9% (n = 14), being similar rate with both techniques. Conclusions: Coverage with dermal regeneration template and random occipito-temporal fascia flap as an alternative use instead of temporoparietal fascial flaps, offers good postoperative results, lower operating times, and similar rate of complications, with the advantage of producing no visible scars and reserve the temporoparietal fascial flap for possible exposure of the cartilaginous framework.
