Abstract

Background: Flap necrosis following facial rhytidectomy constitutes a vexing and grievous complication to the patient and the surgeon. Treatment modalities that can expedite wound healing and re-epithelialization rates are highly desired.

Objectives: To assess wound healing and re-epithelialization rates of open wounds following postrhytidectomy flap necrosis treated with commercially available charged polystyrene microspheres (Polyheal-1, Polyheal Ltd, Israel).

Methods: Flap necrosis following rhytidectomy with open wounds in three female patients were treated using dressings soaked with Polyheal-1. Wound closure rates were documented.

Results: The wounds demonstrated both accelerated granulation tissue formation and rapid re-epithelialization rates. No complications or side effects were encountered.

Conclusions: Charged polystyrene microspheres may offer a new and efficacious way to treat open wounds due to flap necrosis following facial rhytidectomy. Further research with larger patient numbers is still needed to verify these findings.

使用带电聚苯乙烯微球治疗面部提升后皮瓣坏死。

背景：面部褶皱切除术后皮瓣坏死对患者和外科医生来说都是一种令人烦恼和痛苦的并发症。能加快伤口愈合和再上皮率的治疗方法是非常需要的：评估使用市售带电聚苯乙烯微球（Polyheal-1，以色列 Polyheal 有限公司）治疗流式皮瓣切除术后皮瓣坏死开放性伤口的伤口愈合和再上皮率：方法：使用浸泡有 Polyheal-1 的敷料治疗三名女性患者在韵窦切除术后伴有开放性伤口的皮瓣坏死。记录了伤口愈合率：结果：伤口肉芽组织形成速度加快，重新上皮的速度也很快。没有出现并发症或副作用：结论：带电聚苯乙烯微球为治疗面部除皱术后皮瓣坏死造成的开放性伤口提供了一种新的有效方法。要验证这些发现，还需要对更多患者进行进一步研究。
