Plastics + Reconstruction
Dx procedures for plastics
before + after pics
visual exam
xray, CT, MRI
pharmacologic agents for plastics
tumescent solution
cocaine
forms of tumescent solution
saline: hydro dissection
epinepherine: hemostasis
lidocaine: anesthetic
wydase: fat liquifier
characterisitcs of cocaine used for plastics
4% controlled substance
vasoconstrictor
anesthetic
used in rhinoplasty
instrumentation and equipment for plastics
plastic set
nasal set
dermis
what comes in a plastic set
lipo set
breast augmentation set
breast + abdominoplasty set
minor ortho
- hand sets
what comes in a nasal set
rhinoplsty set
what comes in a dermis set
dermatome
mesh graft device
what is dermatome
cuts thin slices of skin for split thickness skin graft
what are the types of dermatome
handheld: small graft
drum: large flat graft
oscillating
process of doing dermatome
- chlorhexidine gluconate applied
- skin tension
- dermatone cuts to desired thick
what is a mesh graft device
expands the size of skin graft so it can cover more area
characteristics of autograft
split thickness
remove epi+ half of dermis
used for large surface areas
characteristics full thickness skin graft (FTSG)
removes epi+ dermis
used for small or large deep surface areas
characteristics of homograft
same species
used in dressings/ face transplants
what are the determining factors for skin grafts
location of defect
condition of possible donor sites
cause of the defect
characteristics of free flap flap grafts
free flap
- comes from another location
- must micro anastomose
-no sensation
characteristics of pedicle flap flap grafts
remain attached to its blood supply
tunnel under the existing skin
pathology of burns
heat
cold
radiation
chemicals
electrical
surgical procedures for burns may include:
- debridement of necrotic
- skin grafts
- restoring function
- cosmetic
how many degrees of burn
4
4th one is burning bone
first degree burn characteristics
epidermis
no blister
heals within 1 week
no scarring
second degree burn characteristics
partial thickness
extremely painful blisters
superficial or deep
debridement + grafting maybe
third degree burn characteristics
full thickness
permanent tissue damage
skin grafting needed
