DMSO: Applications in plastic surgery

DMSO: applications in plastic surgery.

The authors point out that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) increases tissue perfusion and may effectively treat or prevent ischemia in flaps. They recommend application of topical DMSO every 4 to 6 hours, until blood flow improves, to areas that show signs of ischemia or less than adequate perfusion. Other potential cosmetic surgery uses of DMSO include areas of skin care, pain relief, and treatment ...

Emerging Applications of Bedside 3D Printing in Plastic Surgery

Modern imaging techniques are an essential component of preoperative planning in plastic and reconstructive surgery. However, conventional modalities, including three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions, are limited by their representation on 2D workstations. 3D printing, also known as rapid prototyping or additive manufacturing, was once the province of industry to fabricate models from a compute...

Applications of platelet-rich fibrin matrix in facial plastic surgery.

Platelet concentrates enjoyed some clinical popularity in facial plastic surgery several years ago. However, interest waned due to expense, amount of blood required, equipment, space, and staff needed, and lack of clinically significant benefit. A novel, simple method of preparing an autologous platelet derivative (Selphyl; Aesthetic Factors, Princeton, NJ) allows rapid and inexpensive generati...
