Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Summary

One-stage reconstruction using Integra artificial skin offers scarless repair for head and neck lesions in Chinese patients. This method reduces operating time and provides acceptable long-term aesthetic results.

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative medicine
  • Dermatologic surgery
  • Tissue engineering

Background:

  • Integra dermal regeneration template, a two-stage artificial skin, was introduced in the UK in 1996.
  • Initial applications in reconstructive surgery included a scarless repair of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on a Caucasian patient's nose tip.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clinically evaluate the outcomes of one-stage Integra reconstruction in a selected group of Chinese patients.
  • To assess the efficacy and aesthetic results of this reconstructive technique in a different ethnic population.

Main Methods:

  • Ten Chinese patients (5 male, 5 female; age 54-86) with complex head and neck cutaneous lesions underwent one-stage reconstruction.
  • Treatment was conducted in an outpatient setting.

Main Results:

  • Pathology confirmed eight basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), one squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and one seborrhoeic keratosis.
  • Wound healing occurred via contraction and/or re-epithelialization within six weeks.
  • Follow-up (18-30 months) showed no recurrence of malignant lesions.

Conclusions:

  • One-stage Integra reconstruction can decrease operative time by eliminating the need for frozen sections, flap raising, or graft harvesting.
  • While requiring more intensive postoperative care, the technique yields uniformly acceptable long-term aesthetic results in selected cases.
