Treatment of idiopathic palmar hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin. Report of 23 cases and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Botulinum toxin represents a novel therapeutic option for idiopathic palmar hyperhidrosis. However, so far there is no consensus on the way to administer botulinum toxin in this indication. Moreover, its use is limited by severe pain during the injections, especially with subepidermal injections close to 'free nerve endings'. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the effectiveness and tolerability of intracutaneous injections of botulinum toxin after nerve blocks and to review the techniques of injections and the results reported by other groups. METHODS: Twenty-three adult patients with refractory palmar hyperhidrosis were treated with intracutaneous injections of botulinum toxin after ulnar and median nerve blocks. Patients were followed up on a monthly basis. RESULTS: In all patients botulinum toxin abolished sweating in the injected areas within 1 week. Anhidrosis lasted for 4-13 months. The intensity of pain was rated as absent (n = 13), mild (n = 8) or moderate (n = 2). Other side effects included hematoma (n = 2) and pain consecutive to nerve block (n = 1). DISCUSSION: Intracutaneous injections of botulinum toxin after median and ulnar nerve block represent an effective and mildly painful technique to treat palmar hyperhidrosis and may be as safe as subepidermal injections.

Incidence of calcifications in the breast after surgical reduction and liposuction.

Liposuction of the breast in combination with vertical mammaplasty was applied to 250 breasts among 386 reductions of large breasts performed in 2 years (1989 to 1991). To evaluate the possible damage to the breast caused by this combined procedure, especially in terms of the occurrence of the postoperative development of calcifications, a comparative study of preoperative and postoperative mammograms was undertaken in 60 randomly selected cases (120 breasts), 34 with and 26 without liposuction. Altogether, 13 calcifications (11 percent) were discovered during the 6- to 30-month follow-up, representing the lowest rate reported in the literature. Deep intraparenchymal calcifications were more frequent after liposuction; most (5 of 7) were macrocalcifications. None could be confused with malignant calcifications because they were more scattered, more regular, and less numerous. Attempts to evaluate the fat content of breasts via preoperative mammography failed to prove this examination a useful way to predict the viability of breast liposuction.

[Treatment of tissue defects of the posterior aspect of the elbow].

Coverage of soft tissue defects of the posterior region of the elbow can be a difficult problem. The different techniques described are reviewed, focusing on the lateral arm flap of Maruyama. Ten cadaver studies were performed to confirm the reliability of this flap, a first choice for the authors. It was used successfully in 5 clinical cases.

Use of tissue expansion in head and neck. Review of 33 cases.

Thirty-three patients have had skin expansion for reconstruction in the head and neck area. Expansion was used alone in 21 patients, and combined with other techniques in 12 patients. Indications, operative technique, complications and failures of the method are discussed.
