“…In addition, there are 3 million facial injuries in the U.S. per year with about 0.5% (15,000) cases considered catastrophic without any conventional reconstructive option. In particular, reconstruction of functional subunits such as eyelids, ears, lips, or the nose is extremely challenging and in many instances after multiple surgeries the outcomes are poor (6,7). On top of these civilian numbers, there have been approximately 1600 wounded warriors that sustained amputations and 4000 with craniofacial injuries in the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.…”

In the current scope of extended preservation protocols, high subzero approaches of VCA grafts will be particularly critical enabling technologies for the implementation of tolerance protocols clinically. Ultimately, advances in both preservation techniques and tolerance induction have the potential to transform the field of VCA and eventually lead to broad applications in reconstructive transplantation.

Overlooked injured structures in periorbital trauma could lead to aesthetic and functional deficits. As trauma may affect superficial, middle, and deep components, meticulous survey guided by a structured periorbital trauma classification is needed for proper management. Thus, a new classification for periorbital trauma is proposed to serve this purpose. Periorbital region was defined anatomically by anthropometric landmarks. The periorbital injuries were categorized according to anatomical and clinical basis. The new classification was used to study periorbital trauma cases received at Ain Shams University Hospitals between July 2013 and July 2016 retrospectively. The study included 260 patients: 196 (75.38%) males and 64 (24.62%) females. The type and severity of injury, time of primary intervention, type of surgery performed, and patients’ visits to the outpatient clinic were evaluated. The status of the postinjury and postoperative (primary surgery) aesthetic status and functional status were evaluated. The periorbital region was identified. Anatomical categorization of periorbital injuries included periocular, frontal, temporal, and malar regions. Injuries/deficits were categorized into simple, composite, complex, and isolated bony injuries according to the depth and involved tissues. Subsequently, the classification was formulated. In the retrospective study, the incidence of extended simple injuries was the highest, while the least was the extended complex injuries. Functional deficits occurred in 24 patients (9.23%) and aesthetic deficits occurred in 55 patients (21.15%). Required secondary operations for this group included redo of fixation, correction of medial canthal ligament, repair of canalicular system, scar revisions, fat grafting, and creation of natural creases. The results of this study demonstrated that unsatisfactory aesthetic and functional results occurred when injuries of important structures were overlooked, aesthetic units were not respected, and when management was delayed. A three-dimensional, oriented, new classification of periorbital trauma based on anatomical and clinical categorization is proposed to help in identifying injured structures, stimulate the search for other injuries, structure preoperative evaluation, and recommend a surgical plan that would ultimately achieve precise primary repair with best aesthetic and functional outcome.
