Despite the success of negative-pressure wound therapy, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The common perception that it reduces tissue pressure and increases perfusion has recently been challenged following the observation that tissue necrosis can be caused as a result of its application. A programme of research has been conducted to clarify how tissue pressure changes during negative-pressure wound therapy and the resultant effect thereof on perfusion. The cause for conflicting evidence from other studies was also investigated.

Abstract:
Background: Maxillary defects caused by trauma or tumour resection in the head and neck region can be devastating to the patient from a cosmetic and functional perspective. Patients who undergo maxillectomy procedures experience a substantial deterioration in their primary oral functions such as breathing, mastication, salivation, deglutition and phonation, which has a collective adverse influence on their quality of life (QOL). The revascularised free fibula flap (RFFF) has been demonstrated to be most reliable for the reconstruction of maxillary defects, and has been regarded as the 'gold standard.' A novel method of regenerating bone and soft tissue through the process of curvilinear transport distraction oseteogenesis (CTDO) has been developed and compared with the RFFF technique. Method: A prospective cohort study of 6 post-maxillectomy patients was compared regarding the clinical outcome of function and aesthetics with a group of 6 patients who had undergone RFFF reconstruction. The new bone (regenerate) was compared with the parent bone from which it had been generated. Objective measuring tools were employed to assess pre and post quality of life (QOL) aspects. The RFFF patients were not subjected to any invasive procedures save to undergo a clinical evaluation and undergo a CT scan of their maxillae. A cohort of 6 participants was treated prospectively using CTDO and the results were analysed within that cohort. These results were compared with a retrospective group of 6 participants of similar age and gender distribution who had undergone RFFF reconstruction as an external control. The patented Hendricks-Vicatos (H-V) maxillary transport distractor was applied to all selected participants by the primary investigator under general anaesthesia at Groote Schuur Hospital or a private clinic. The H-V maxillary transport distractor (5 prototypes) was pre-shaped and pre-fitted onto a 3-D model of the participant's maxilla, in a laboratory. This method reduced clinical installation time. If teeth were present in the area to be distracted, then at least 2 teeth were removed from the maxilla, preferably three months before the date of distraction. In the first few cases, this was the protocol for developing bone stock. This protocol was revised in the last 2 patients of the study, where no teeth were extracted at all. A linear fracture (bi-cortical) was created in the maxilla in a vertical direction (segmentally) to develop a mobile, well-vascularised transport disc. This carrier disc was attached to the metal plate of the 'crawler' via small titanium screws. The crawler was then moved on the reconstruction plate (BiometTM Zimmer Biomet,

Use of perforators as recipient vessels in microvascular reconstruction has led to arterial diameter discrepancy becoming an increasingly common finding. Experimental and clinical evidence confirms that patency rates decrease with increasing diameter mismatch, but no good evidence is available to direct the choice of end-to-end microanastomotic technique where a small-to-large discrepancy exists. A programme of research has been conducted comparing two techniques of endto-end arterial microanastomoses, where a small-to-large diameter discrepancy exists of between 1:1.5 and 1:2.5. These techniques are; 45º oblique section of the smaller vessel, and; invaginating the smaller vessel inside the larger.

Abstract:
L’éthique en chirurgie maxillo-faciale (CMF) reste peu étudiée. Ce travail de thèse a pour but (1) d’identifier les problèmes éthiques concernant la protection des personnes (PP) et les conflits d’intérêts (CI) dans la recherche en CMF, (2) de proposer les guides pratiques pour maintenir l’intégrité scientifique et les normes éthiques en CMF, et (3) d’analyser les données cliniques concernant les lésions des mâchoires, pour discuter l’éthique de la décision médicale. Méthodes: Cette dissertation cumulative comporte 2 grandes parties : l’éthique de la recherche d’une part, et l’éthique clinique d’autre part. Partie 1 : l’éthique de la recherche, comprend une revue de la littérature, 4 études rétrospectives et 2 études transversales sur: (1) la non-conformité scientifique, (2) la PP et les CI dans les journaux en CMF, (3) la PP et les CI dans les recherches sur les 2 innovations en CMF (chirurgie piézoélectrique; sous-mandibulectomies assistées par endoscopie), (4) le biais de publication en CMF, (5) l’éthique dans les recommandations aux auteurs des journaux en CMF, et (6) une enquête internationale transversale dans un échantillon représentatif de 326 chirurgiens maxillo-faciaux. Partie 2 : l’éthique clinique, inclut une revue systématique et 3 études rétrospectives sur: (1) l’ostéoradionécrose, (2) le kératokyste odontogène, (3) l’améloblastome, et (4) les complications des lambeaux libres de péroné. Les méthodes classiques de statistiques descriptives et d’analyse univariée ont été utilisées. Les différences ont été considérées comme significatives lorsque p était < 0,05. Résultats: la PP et la déclaration des CI dans la recherche en CMF sont encore insuffisantes. Les causes peuvent provenir (1) des journaux eux-mêmes par l’absence de règles éthiques dans les recommandations aux auteurs et/ou le manque de rigueur du contrôle de l’éditeur et du comité de lecture du journal, et/ou (2) des auteurs par le manque de formation et d’expérience de l’éthique, par le biais lié à l’intérêt de la profession ou aux intérêts financiers, par ignorance, ou par une combinaison de ces facteurs. Les données cliniques sur les lésions maxillo-faciales et leur gestion peuvent être bien incorporées dans l’approche éthique de la décision médicale. Cependant, les études sur ce sujet souffrent en général d’une insuffisance de validité interne. Conclusions: la PP et la déclaration des CI reçoivent peu d’attention de la part de la communauté scientifique en CMF. Il est donc temps d’instaurer une surveillance appropriée sur l’éthique de la recherche et d’en appliquer les mécanismes comme standards scientifiques. Les auteurs et les chercheurs doivent se conformer strictement aux normes d’éthique de la recherche. La formation continue pour les chirurgiens maxillo-faciaux permettrait de réduire les mauvaises pratiques, intentionnelles ou non. La connaissance de l’éthique et de son application à la décision médicale en CMF gagnera à de plus amples investigations
Introduction: Ethics in oral-maxillofacial surgery (OMS) remain understudied. The purposes of this dissertation were (1) to identify the ethical problems of human subject protection (HSP) and conflicts of interest (CoI) in OMS researches, (2) to propose the guidelines as to maintain scientific integrity and ethical standards in this surgical speciality, and (3) to analyse clinical data concerning jaw lesions to discuss the ethical considerations on clinical decision-making. Methods: This cumulative thesis consisted of 2 parts: research ethics and clinical ethics. Part 1: research ethics, included 1 narrative review, 4 retrospective and 2 cross-sectional studies on: (1) research misconduct, (2) HSP and CoI in OMS journals, (3) HSP and CoI in researches on 2 OMS innovations (piezoelectric surgery; endoscope-assisted submandibular sialadenectomy), (4) publication bias in the OMS literature, (5) ethical issues in the guideline to authors of OMS journals, and (6) a questionnaire survey enrolling 326 maxillofacial surgeons worldwide. Part 2: clinical ethics, comprised 1 systematic review and 3 retrospective studies on: (1) osteoradionecrosis, (2) odontogenic keratocysts, (3) ameloblastoma, and (4) complications of fibular free flaps. Descriptive and univariate statistics were computed when appropriate, and a P-value of < 0. 05 was considered statistically significant. Results: HSP and disclosure of CoI in OMS researches are still lacking. The possible reasons are (1) the OMS journals themselves (lack of ethical issues in the instructions to authors and/or failure of editors and/or reviewers to be strict with their own regulations/policies and international ethical standards) and/or (2) the OMS authors (lack of ethical education, inadequate research experience, bias from career self-interest or financial gains, ignorance about research ethics, or a combination of these). Clinical data on jaw lesions and their management can be incorporated into the ethical approach to clinical decisionmaking. However, the studies on this matter usually contain inadequate internal validity. Conclusions: The results of these studies suggest that HSP and disclosure of CoI receive little attention from the OMS speciality. It is, therefore, high time to have appropriate oversight of ethical breaches and implement the measures as a standard in peer-review publishing. An author/investigator has to adhere strictly to the research ethics standards. Adequate research training for oral-maxillofacial surgeons would help reduce both intentional and unintentional scientific malpractice. Ethics and clinical decisionmaking require further investigations
Hintergrund: Ethische Aspekte in der Mund-Kiefer-Gesichtschirurgie (MKG-Chirurgie) wurden bislang kaum beleuchtet. Anliegen der Dissertation war [1] die Identifikation von Problemen beim Schutz des Menschen und Interessenkonflikte der MKG-chirurgischen Forschung, [2] die Formulierung von Leitlinien zur Sicherstellung der wissenschaftlichen Integrität und der ethischen Standards in dieser chirurgischen Disziplin, und [3] die Analyse klinischer Daten zu Erkrankungen des Kiefers zur Erörterung ethischer Erwägungen auf die klinische Entscheidungsfindung. Methode: Diese kumulative Dissertation gliedert sich in 2 Hauptteile: [1] Ethikforschung und [2] Klinische Ethik. Der Teil 1: Ethikforschung, beinhaltet 1 traditionellen Übersichtsartikel, 4 retrospektive Studien und 2 Querschnittstudien zu [1] Fehlleistungen in der Forschung (wissenschaftliches Fehlverhalten), [2] Schutz des menschlichen Individuums in der MKG-chirurgischen Literatur, [3] Schutz des menschlichen Individuums bei zwei neuartigen MKG-chirurgischer Verfahren (piezoelektrische Chirurgie; endoskopisch gestützte Exstirpation der Glandula submandibularis), [4] Ergebnisverzerrung (Publikationsbias) in der MKG-chirurgischen Literatur, [5] Ethik-Aspekte in den Richtlinien für Autoren von MKG-chirurgischen Zeitschriften und [6] eine auf Fragebögen basierende Querschnittstudie, welche ein Kollektiv von 326 MKG-Chirurgen weltweit erfasst. Der zweite Teil: Klinische Ethik, enthält 1 systematischen Übersichtsartikel und 3 retrospektive Studien zu den Themen [1] Osteoradionekrose, [2] odontogenen Keratozyste, [3] Ameloblastom und [4] Komplikationen des freien Fibulatransfers. Deskriptive und univariate statistische Daten wurden, sofern möglich, berechnet; für das Signifikanzniveau konnte ein p-Wert von < 0,05 festgelegt werden. Ergebnis: Innerhalb der MKG-chirurgischen Forschung gibt es noch immer Defizite hinsichtlich des Schutzes des menschlichen Individuums und der Offenlegung von Interessenkonflikten. Mögliche Ursachen hierfür reichen von [1] redaktionellen Problemen bei den MKG-chirurgischen Zeitschriften (fehlende Ethik-Standards in den Instruktionen für Autoren, Unschärfen seitens der Herausgeber bzw. Gutachter bezüglich der strikten Umsetzung von journaleigenen oder globalen Regeln) bis hin zu [2] autorenbezogenen Problemen (Wissenslücken, Verwerfungen durch Karrieredenken, finanzielle Interessen); auch Kombinationen multipler Gründe sind denkbar. In die klinische Daten über kieferchirurgische Erkrankungen und deren Management sollten ethische Ansätze bei der therapeutischen Entscheidungsfindung einfließen. Bisherigen Studien zu diesem Thema fehlt es in der Regel an interner Validität. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sprechen dafür, dass dem Schutz des menschlichen Individuums und der Offenlegung von Interessenkonflikten innerhalb der MKG-chirurgischen Forschung bisher zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Es ist somit höchste Zeit, geeignete Überwachungsverfahren zum Schutz vor ethischen Rechtsverletzungen zu etablieren und diese Maßnahmen als Standard in den Begutachtungsprozess für internationale Publikationen (‚peer-review publishing‘) einzuführen. Jeder Autor bzw. Forscher sollte sich strikt an ethische Standards halten. Geeignete diesbezügliche Fortbildungen für MKG-Chirurgen könnten bewusste und unbewusste wissenschaftliche Fehltritte vermeiden helfen. Die klinische Entscheidungsfindung unter ethischen Aspekten bedarf in Zukunft weiterer Untersuchungen

Abstract:
To correct, improve, and maintain tissues, and their functions, are common denominators in tissue engineering and reconstructive plastic surgery. This can be achieved by using autolo-gous tissues as in flaps or transplants. However, often autologous tissue is not useable. This is one of the reasons for the increasing interest among plastic surgeons for tissue engineering, and it has led to fruitful cross-fertilizations between the fields. Tissue engineering is defined as an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences for development of biologic substitutes designed to maintain, restore, or improve tissue functions. These methods have already dramatically improved the possibilities to treat a number of medical conditions, and can arbitrarily be divided into two main principles: > Methods where autologous cells are cultured in vitro and transplanted by means of a cell suspension, a graft, or in a 3-D biodegradable matrix as carrier. > Methods where the tissue of interest is stimulated and given the right prerequisites to regenerate the tissue in vivo/situ with the assistance of implantation of specially designed materials, or application of substances that regulate cell functions - guided tissue regeneration. We have shown that human mammary epithelial cells and adipocytes could be isolated from tissue biopsies and that the cells kept their proliferative ability. When co-cultured in a 3-D matrix, patterns of ductal structures of epithelial cells embedded in clusters of adipocytes, mimicking the in vivo architecture of human breast tissue, were seen. This indicated that human autologous breast tissue can be regenerated in vitro. The adipose tissue is also generally used to correct soft tissue defects e.g. by autologous fat transplantation. Alas 30-70% of the transplanted fat is commonly resorbed. Preadipocytes are believed to be hardier and also able to replicate, and hence, are probably more useful for fat transplantation. We showed that by using cell culture techniques, significantly more pre-adipocytes could survive and proliferate in vitro compared to two clinically used techniques of fat graft handling. Theoretically, a biopsy of fat could generate enough preadipocytes to seed a biodegradable matrix that is implanted to correct a defect. The cells in the matrix will replicate at a rate that parallels the vascular development, the matrix subsequently degrades and the cell-matrix complex is replaced by regenerated, vascularized adipose tissue. We further evaluated different biodegradable scaffolds usable for tissue engineering of soft tissues. A macroporous gelatin sphere showed several appealing characteristics. A number of primary human ecto- and mesodermal cells were proven to thrive on the gelatin spheres when cultured in spinner flasks. As the spheres are biodegradable, it follows that the cells can be cultured and expanded on the same substrate that functions as a transplantation vehicle and scaffold for tissue engineering of soft tissues. To evaluate the in vivo behavior of cells and gelatin spheres, an animal study was performed where human fibroblasts and preadipocytes were cultured on the spheres and injected intra-dermally. Cell-seeded spheres were compared with injections of empty spheres and cell suspensions. The pre-seeded spheres showed a near complete regeneration of the soft tissues with neoangiogenesis. Some tissue regeneration was seen also in the ‘naked’ spheres but no effect was shown by cell injections. In a human pilot-study, intradermally injected spheres were compared with hyaluronan. Volume-stability was inferior to hyaluronan but a near complete regeneration of the dermis was proven, indicating that the volume-effect is permanent in contrast to hyaluronan which eventually will be resorbed. Further studies are needed to fully evaluate the effect of the macroporous gelatin spheres, with or without cellular pre-seeding, as a matrix for guided tissue regeneration. However, we believe that the prospect to use these spheres as an injectable, 3D, biodegradable matrix will greatly enhance our possibilities to regenerate tissues through guided tissue regeneration.

Abstract:
Background: Free tissue transfer has become the standard of care for the reconstruction of head and neck oncological defects. The Groote Schuur Hospital provides a microsurgical reconstructive service in a resource-limited setting, without access to venous couplers, invasive monitoring devices, modern microscopes or sophisticated pre-operative imaging. The reconstructive surgeons perform all anastomoses under x4.5 loupe magnification. Methods: A retrospective chart review was undertaken of cases performed by the service over a 3-year period. Demographic factors, indications for flap cover, operative details (flap used, duration and lowest recorded temperature), intensive care and hospital length of stay, and other outcomes were recorded and evaluated (including flap and systemic complications, donor site morbidity, haematomas as well as returns to theatre). Results: Over a 36-month period, 109 flaps for head and neck reconstruction were performed. The main indication for surgery was squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The mean operating time for resection and reconstruction was 6.02 h (range of 4 to 12 h). Virtually, all reconstructions were performed using one of either radial forearm, free fibula or anterolateral thigh flaps. We report a complete flap loss rate of 6 %. All four successful salvages were undertaken in the early (less than 24 h) post-operative period. Hypothermia intra-operatively appears to correlate very closely with pejorative outcomes. Conclusions: By restricting reconstructive options to three main 'workhorse' flaps and by utilising a simultaneous two-team approach for tumour ablation and flap elevation, success rates comparable to international standards have been achieved. Limited resources should not be regarded as an impassable barrier to providing a successful microvascular head and neck reconstructive service.

Abstract:
Introduction Humans have several different types of hair, classified into eight different groups, of which types VII and VIII predominate in South Africa. The scalp with its abundance of hair is often used as a preferential donor site for small burns. Major reasons cited are that the donor site is hidden from view (covered by hair), rapidly epithelializes with minimal scarring and provides a relatively large surface area. The author postulates that the type of hair will have an influence on the healing of scalp donor sites, complications and aesthetic outcome. Contrary to international consensus, the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital (RCWMCH) experience indicated that the use of the scalp as donor area is not ideal due to the frequent complications seen amongst paediatric patients e.g. visible scars, recurrent folliculitis, patchy alopecia, hypertrophic scarring and areas of de- and hyperpigmentation. Objective This study reviewed the complications encountered with the use of the scalp as primary donor area in children of mostly black African origin (type VI-VIII hair). Methodology A retrospective folder review of patients admitted to RCWMCH between 2003 and 2015 with major burns (>30% total body surface area) was conducted. A total of 179 patient folders were reviewed. Only children (n=25) with unburned scalp donor areas were included in this study. Both short- long-term complications were identified. The patient age range was six months - 12 years, while the mean patient follow-up period was 580 days and mean burn TBSA was 44.92% (range 4 – 85%). Results Patient demographics: black African 60% descent (hair types VI-VIII), 32% mixed race (hair types III-V) and 4% Caucasian (hair types II-III). In the group of black African children 60% had short-term and 46.7% long-term complications, whereas in the mixed race children 37.5% had short-term and 25% long-term complications. No complications were encountered in the Caucasian group. Eleven (48%) of patients in total had short-term complications (88.9% folliculitis, 22.2% delayed healing) and seven (28%) had long-term complications (57,1% non-healing wounds, 42.8% recurrent folliculitis, 57.1% alopecia, 42.9% depigmented scars, 28.6% visible scars, 28.6% hypertrophic scars). The first procurement in 11 children resulted in a 91% complication rate (54.5% short-term and 36.4% long-term). Ten children had two procurements resulting in an 80% complication rate (40% short-term and 40% long-term complications). In four children with three scalp procurements an acute 25% complication rate, with no subsequent long-term complications, was encountered. Discussion Hair type has an influence on outcome and donor sites should be carefully selected. Hair types VI-VIII has a higher propensity for complications and these usually follow the first procurement procedure. Complications did not increase with multiple procurements. Significant complications with long-term sequelae are not uncommon when the scalp is used as donor site and these complications are difficult to treat. Although the sample size is small, it does reflect a significant complication rate. Conclusion Contrary to international consensus, the use of the scalp as donor site in South African children with hair types VI-VIII with large burns should not be the preferential site and should only be used as a last resort.

Abstract:
This work summarizes the experience of using modern methods of radiation diagnostics in combination with computer and telecommunication technologies in planning reconstructive operations in neurosurgical and maxillofacial practice. Modern medicine does not stand still, it is constantly developing and improving. Thanks to the emergence of high-tech medicine today, it is possible to carry out complex surgical operations and to give a person who has faced serious injury, to continue a fairly high-quality and full life. The creation of a digital model and the use of computer simulation using the data of a particular patient, was a real breakthrough in medicine, because this technology is very quickly found its practical use in many areas of surgery. To date, this approach in the planning of reconstructive surgery has already been tested in many medical institutions and makes a significant contribution to the development of modern medicine.

Abstract:
RESUMO A abordagem sistêmica é um processo interdisciplinar, cujo princípio primordial é compreender a interdependência recíproca e relações de todas as áreas e da necessidade de sua integração, permitindo maior aproximação entre os seus limites de estudo. Nesse contexto o olhar sistêmico, da ergonomia, sobretudo no que se refere à segurança, ao conforto e à eficácia de uso, de funcionalidade e de operacionalidade dos objetos, considerando todos os produtos ou sistemas de produtos, como sistema de uso, desde os mais simples aos mais complexos ou sistêmicos, tem como objetivo adequá-los aos seres humanos, tendo em vista as atividades e tarefas exercidas por eles. No que se refere ao design funcional, os conhecimentos da ergonomia, nessa visão sistêmica, relativos à sua metodologia de projeto, são absolutamente necessários, e a sua aplicação aponta a melhor adequação dos produtos aos seus usuários. Como é o caso do vestuário feminino funcional, sobretudo no que se refere a proteção das mamas, que são peças convencionais que necessitam de um correto dimensionamento e especificação dos tecidos e de outros materiais. É um tipo de vestuário que apresenta funcionalidade diversa, como para a proteção física, o aumento do volume da mama, enchimento no bojo de pano, de água, de óleo, estruturado com arame, etc.; para amamentação (sutiã que se abre na frente, em parte ou totalmente); para o design inclusivo (pessoas com deficiência e mobilidade reduzida, no caso de mamas com prótese ou órtese) facilitando com fechamentos e aberturas colocadas em peças de roupas difíceis de manusear, roupas confortáveis e fáceis de vestir. São peças usadas por pessoas com biótipos e percentis antropométricos variáveis e com características corporais que mudam significativamente nas passagens para a adolescência, idade adulta e idosa. As mudanças corporais apresentam diferenças significativas em termos de volume das mamas, nas quais as soluções ergonômicas por uma abordagem sistêmicas que se evidencia mais para a complexidade de uso, são as mais necessárias em termos de atributos como, segurança, conforto, comodidade corporal, facilidade do vestir, funcionalidade, além da estética. Esta pesquisa, embora exploratória e descritiva, não isenta de desafios, tem por objetivo, por meio de dados e informações ergonômicas sistêmicas contribuir com o design funcional, de modo a oferecer subsídios para a confecção de roupas funcionais ou tecnologia vestível, com os atributos citados, respeitando a diversidade e inclusão das pessoas em todas as fases de sua vida, atendendo assim os princípios formais do design.
