Background and Purpose This study was designed to determine a safe target distance (TD) from the saphenopopliteal junction (SPJ) to initiate endovenous laser therapy (EVLT). Methods A retrospective chart review was performed. Thirty-six limbs in 33 patients were treated with EVLT for small saphenous vein (SSV) incompetence. An 810-nm diode laser at 12W in the continuous mode was used. Clinical assessment was performed 1 week postoperatively and duplex scanning within 30 days. Results Mean vein diameter was 7.1 mm (max, 11 mm). The distance between the EVLT starting point and the SPJ ranged from 1.5 to 3.5 cm (mean, 2.19cm). Closure of the SSV was confirmed by completion ultrasonography in all cases. Twenty of 33 patients had 1 month follow-up scanning. None had SSV recanalization, deep venous thrombosis, adverse reactions to the laser, or clinical signs of nerve injury. Closure was noted 0.5–1 cm proximal to the initial target distance fiber location at the onset of EVLT ranging from 1 to 1.5 cm from the SPJ. Conclusion We propose a minimal 2 cm distance from the SPJ and a 2 cm radius of tumescent solution to counteract the perivenous effects of the laser energy. Anatomic morphology and these calculated distances determined by intraoperative ultrasound guidance are critical to the safe outcome of EVLT of the SSV.

The objective of this report is to present a case of hand burn linear contracture release performed under local anesthesia. It also introduces the one-per-mil tumescent solution consisted of 0.2% lidocaine and 1:1.000.000 epinephrine as a local anesthesia formula, which has the potential of providing adequate anesthesia as well as hemostatic effect during surgery of the hand without tourniquet. The surgery was performed on a 19 year-old male patient with multiple thumb and fingers flexion linear contracture for 105 minutes without any obstacle. The patient did not complain any pain and discomfort during the procedure; while bloodless operative field was successfully achieved. At four-month follow up, the patient could fully extend his thumb, middle and ring finger, while the index was limited by 10° at the DIP joint. Overall, the patient was satisfied with the outcome.

Fat Survival

The use of surgically excised/mechanically fragmented dermal fat grafts by injection led to the use of suction-aspirated fat for autologous grafts by injection. Efforts to scientifically evaluate the fat survival began with a microscopic evaluation of the integrity of the aspirated fat in a series of patients. The next study consisted of injection of dye-stained fat into the abdominal skin/fat followed by removal and microscopic evaluation of the grafts from 3 months to 1 year later. Also, different sized cannulas for removal and different sized needles for injection of fat were used, with the abdominal skin/fat used as the recipient site. Studies were also done to compare washing versus nonwashing of the fat. These studies and 10 years of clinical evaluation and follow-up has led us to conclude that fat, properly aspirated, properly prepared, and properly injected, is an excellent and permanent substance for soft tissue augmentation.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of different  modalities for the prevention of post-operative edema in patients undergoing hair transplant. Study Design: Prospective study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Plastic Surgery, Bashir Hospital (private), Sialkot from March 2016 to April 2018. Patients and Methods: Male patients with typical male baldness patterns were serially included in the study. Informed consent was taken both for the surgery and purpose of research. Patients were followed up daily for one week to assess the post-operative edema. However patients were also called for follow up after three months to see the late complications. Patients not giving consent for the study were excluded from the data. Data was entered and analysis done by SPSS v 22. Results: Total 97 patients were operated. Two groups A&B each of 45 and 57 patients were selected randomly. Group A which was administered tumescent solution including steroid showed maximum prevention of edema, success rate (93.3%). Group B having oral steroid course postoperatively for 5 days showed less promising results with success rate of (57.8%). Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that addition of steroid (Triamcinolone) to the tumescent solution had more promising results regarding the prevention of post-operative edema.
