Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia
|March 15, 2014
Summary
Z-Plasty, a surgical technique using two triangular flaps, corrects defects in dermatologic procedures like ectropion and lip misalignment. This versatile method is essential for dermatosurgeons to address various complications effectively.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- Z-Plasty involves transposing two interdigitating triangular flaps.
- This technique is applicable in various dermatological and dermatosurgical procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the benefits and applications of Z-Plasty in dermatosurgery.
- To showcase Z-Plasty's utility in correcting specific surgical complications.
Main Methods:
- Review and presentation of clinical examples where Z-Plasty was employed.
- Description of the Z-Plasty technique for flap transposition.
Main Results:
- Z-Plasty effectively corrected defects such as ectropion, lip misalignment, and bifid earlobe.
- The procedure demonstrated versatility in addressing post-surgical complications.
Conclusions:
- Z-Plasty is a valuable and adaptable technique for dermatosurgeons.
- Proficiency in Z-Plasty is recommended for dermatologists managing surgical defects.

2.0K
Plakins are large proteins with binding domains for microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and membrane-associated protein complexes at cell junctions. Plakin functions are evolutionarily conserved and are primarily involved in organizing the different components of the cytoskeleton by crosslinking them to each other and connecting them to the cell-matrix and cell adhesion complexes. They are also known to interact with signal transducers, serve as scaffolds for signaling...

01:19Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
2.4K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...
