With a progressive adaptation of this technique, it is possible to achieve a harmonious body contour using a safe liposuction method on the abdominal and costal areas, with fast recovery and good to excellent results.
Purpose: To report and describe the clinical course of four pediatric traumatic macular hole (TMH) cases and respective management. Case Report: Four pediatric patients with macular hole following blunt ocular trauma underwent early pars plana vitrectomy, with consecutive hole closure. Initial visual acuity was <20/400 or worse in all patients. After surgery, all patients had visual acuity improvement, with final visual acuity being >20/50 in 2 of the patients by the end of the follow-up. Macular hole closure was achieved in all patients with a single procedure, and anatomical success was confirmed by optical coherence tomography until the end of the follow-up. Conclusions: Although spontaneous closure of TMH is not uncommon, especially in pediatric patients, early pars plana vitrectomy seems to be a safe and effective choice in pediatric TMH management. The risk/benefit ratio of surgery seems to be better than observation.

Plást. 2011; 26(2): 275-9 275Lipoabdominoplastia: redução das complicações em cirurgias abdominais Lipoabdominoplastia: redução das complicações em cirurgias abdominais Lipoabdominoplasty: reduction of complications in abdominal surgery RESUMO Introdução: As deformidades estéticas e funcionais do abdome sempre representaram um grande desafio na Cirurgia Plástica. Em busca de soluções para estes problemas, foi desenvolvida a abdominoplastia, que ao longo dos anos vem apresentando modificações e aperfeiçoamentos, buscando melhores resultados estéticos e funcionais, com menores índices de complicações. A lipoabdominoplastia, desenvolvida em 2000 por Saldanha e publicada em 2001, quando esse termo foi utilizado pela primeira vez na literatura mundial, representa uma opção segura para a associação da lipoaspiração à abdominoplastia. A técnica é baseada na preservação dos vasos perfurantes abdominais, ramos das epigástricas profundas superiores e inferiores. Método: Foi comparada a incidência de complicações nas abdominoplastias clássicas e a lipoabdominoplastias realizadas no período de janeiro de 1979 a 30 de junho de 2010, na Clínica Saldanha, em Santos -SP. Discussão: O descolamento seletivo entre as bordas dos músculos reto abdominais, preconizado pela técnica, promove diminuição da área de descolamento do retalho e preserva os vasos perfurantes da parede abdominal, responsáveis por 80% do suprimento sanguíneo da região e, consequentemente, diminui o sangramento e os riscos de hematoma, de isquemia e necrose do retalho. Conclusão: Associando a abdominoplastia com a lipoaspiração e preconizando um descolamento seletivo com preservação dos vasos perfurantes, é possível obter melhores resultados estéticos favoráveis, além de menor morbidade pós-operatória e redução da taxa de revisões cirúrgicas.Descritores: Abdome/cirurgia.

In search of solutions to these problems, we developed the abdominoplasty, which over the years has had modifications and improvements, looking for better cosmetic and functional results, with lower complication rates. Lipoabdominoplasty was developed in 2000 by Saldanha and published in 2001, when that term was first used in the literature, and represents a safe option for the combination of liposuction and abdominoplasty. The technique is based on the preservation of abdominal perforating vessels, branches of the superior and inferior epigastric deep artery. Methods: We compared the incidence of complications between the classic abdominoplasty and lipoabdominoplasty carried out from January 1979 to June 30, 2010, at Saldanha's Clinic, in Santos -SP. Discussion: The selective displacement between the edges of the rectus abdominis muscles, as advocated by technique, promotes a decrease in the area of detachment of the flap and preserves the abdominal wall perforator vessels account for 80% of the blood supply...
