“…The orbicularis muscle is divided into pretarsal, preseptal, and orbital orbicularis depending on the structure immediately posterior to it. Posteriorly, the tarsus is plate of dense connective tissue that occupies the inferior aspect of the upper eyelid [6]. The upper eyelid crease is formed by insertion of the fascial extensions of the levator aponeurosis, through the orbicularis muscle, to the skin.…”

“…The skin of the eyelid is extremely thin and flexible, making the reconstruction of periorbital region defects particularly complex [5]. In particular, reconstruction of the upper eyelid is more challenging than that of the lower eyelid since it requires appropriate tissue from the surrounding region, natural mobility, contour, and proper cover and protection of the eyeball.…”

BackgroundThe esthetic and functional outcomes of periorbital defect reconstruction are very important because of the complex anatomy and specialized functions of this region. The orbicularis oculi myocutaneous (OOMC) flap is useful for the reconstruction of periorbital defects. But, according to the location and depth of the defects, the reconstruction using OMC flaps with various techniques is rare. The authors have used various kinds of OOMC flaps in various situations and we present an analysis of our experiences.MethodsFrom November 2001 to July 2017, we used 36 OOMC flaps to reconstruct 30 periorbital defects in 25 patients. We analyzed the cause of the defect, its location, the type of concomitant surgery, the method of flap movement, and complications.ResultsOf the 30 defects, basal cell carcinoma was the most common cause, accounting for 20 cases. When the used OOMC flap was classified according to the location of the defects, the switch flap was used in nine cases among 15 defects of lower eyelid, and the V-Y advancement flap was mainly used for other parts. As surgical methods according to the depth of defect were classified, all cases involving the tarsal plate were reconstructed with a composite graft. In case of skin and muscles, they were reconstructed only with OOMC flap or with full-thickness skin graft.ConclusionThe OOMC flap provides good skin quality that is very similar to that of the defect tissue. Depending on the location and depth of the defect, the OOMC flap may be used properly in a variety of ways to achieve good results.

“…Similar results were obtained compared to those of the previous studies, including a variety of side effects after taking immunosuppressants and occurring frequencies below the medium level. Among the side effects, the occurrences of crisp skin, increased hunger, fatigue, body change, mood disturbance, face change, decreased interest in sex, headache and increased hair growth were more frequent, and they were of relatively severe symptom distresses [16,17]. Thus, certain side effects would occur due to the instinct characteristics of the immunosuppressants.…”

Abstract:Influences of the side effects and interferences of immunosuppressants on the quality of life (QOL) of renal transplant recipients have been discussed. 72 renal transplant recipients were surveyed utilizing 25-item health status questionnaires, and modified transplant symptom occurrence and symptom distress scales. The results showed that the frequencies and symptom interferences of side effect after receiving immunosuppressants were below medium level. Physical and mental health related QOL was most significantly affected by symptom occurrence and symptom distress, respectively. Besides, postoperative comorbidity, work status, age and household income have also been demonstrated to be able to predict the postoperative QOL. Side effects all occurred to various extents after receiving immunosuppressants to the renal transplant recipients, the occurrence and interference of the symptoms were not apparent, which would affect the postoperative QOL.

A New Technique of Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Using the Orbicularis Muscle Flap

Abstract: The orbicularis muscle flap procedure is a feasible technique that can be used reliably to reshape the lateral upper lid. It would be a useful addition to the armamentarium of the plastic surgeon who is called on to perform upper blepharoplasty.
