UNASSIGNED: Dermatochirurgische Eingriffe finden überwiegend in Lokalanästhesie statt, jedoch gibt es nur wenig Studien zum perioperativen Schmerzmanagement ausgedehnter oder mehrzeitiger Operationen. Das Ziel dieser Erhebung ist die Erfassung von Schmerzen im Rahmen dermatochirurgischer Eingriffe, der Darstellung der perioperativen Schmerztherapie sowie der Identifizierung von Einflussfaktoren auf das Schmerzempfinden.
UNASSIGNED: In diese prospektive, monozentrische Studie wurden stationäre Patienten von April bis Dezember 2021 eingeschlossen, die einen dermatochirurgischen Eingriff in Lokalanästhesie erhielten. Präoperativ wurden demographische Fragen, ein Schmerzfragebogen und vier psychometrische Fragebögen (PCS, LOT‐R, SFQ, PHQ‐9) erhoben. Postoperativ empfundene Schmerzen und benötigte Schmerzmedikamente der ersten 24 Stunden wurden erhoben.
UNASSIGNED: 120 Patienten (mit insgesamt 191 Eingriffen) wurden eingeschlossen. Durchschnittliche postoperative Schmerzen wurden sehr niedrig (NRS < 2) angegeben. Präoperativ bestehende Schmerzen und postoperativ erwartete Schmerzen zeigten sich als prädiktive Merkmale für postoperativen Schmerz. Ein starker Zusammenhang zwischen Katastrophisieren und Angst vor der Operation (r = 0,65) sowie ein mittlerer Zusammenhang für Depression und Angst vor der Operation (r = 0,46) konnten dargestellt werden.
UNASSIGNED: Dermatochirurgische Eingriffe in Lokalanästhesie werden insgesamt als schmerzarm empfunden. Bei der präoperativen Aufklärung und Untersuchung sollte auf Patienten geachtet werden, die bereits Schmerzen angeben oder postoperativ Schmerzen erwarten, da sie ein erhöhtes Risiko für die Entwicklung postoperativer Schmerzen zeigten.

BACKGROUND: Exosomes and other secretory membrane vesicles, collectively referred to as extracellular vesicles (EVs), have garnered increasing attention in research due to their biological characteristics. Notably, studies have shown promising results regarding the role of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (SC-EVs) in skin and plastic surgery applications. This study aims to elucidate current trends in SC-EVs within the context of skin and plastic surgery and offer insights for future research directions in advancing this critical field.
METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted for relevant studies on SC-EVs in skin and plastic surgery spanning from 2003 to 2023, utilizing the Web of Science database. Subsequently, data analysis was performed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace.
RESULTS: A total of 1089 studies were identified, with a noticeable annual increase in publications on SC-EVs\' application in skin and plastic surgery. China emerged as the leading contributor to this field, with Shanghai Jiao Tong University being a notable institution. Stem Cell Research & Therapy and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences were the top journals publishing relevant articles. Author Fu Xiaobing from the Chinese People\'s Liberation Army General Hospital had the highest publication count in this area. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed six distinct clusters, with \"exosomes\" being the most prevalent keyword in recent years. Wound healing and skin rejuvenation emerged as primary research focuses and hotspots in this field.
CONCLUSIONS: This comprehensive review offers insights into global trends surrounding SC-EVs in skin and plastic surgery. Analysis of journals, institutions, references, and keywords provides valuable guidance for researchers in determining future research directions.

OBJECTIVE: To review the technique and outcomes of using dermal filler to camouflage forehead osteoma, providing a minimally invasive alternative to surgical excision.
BACKGROUND: Forehead osteoma, commonly known as a forehead bump or bone spur, can be a cosmetic concern. Surgical excision, while effective, carries risks of scarring and postoperative complications. An innovative approach using dermal filler offers a potential solution.
METHODS: A hyaluronic acid‐based filler is injected into the deep subcutaneous plane over the bony prominence using a cannula. The fanning technique ensures even distribution of the filler. The procedure\'s safety, patient selection, and communication between the injector and patient are emphasized to achieve optimal results.
RESULTS: The technique provides immediate aesthetic improvement with results that can last up to 12 months, depending on the filler used. While generally safe, potential complications include infections, swelling, asymmetry, and lumpiness. Proper technique, patient selection, and good communication between the injector and patient are critical to achieving optimal outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Using dermal filler to camouflage forehead osteoma is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical excision, offering immediate and long‐lasting results with minimal downtime and fewer risks. Further studies are needed to refine the technique and optimize outcomes.

Multiple techniques are available for closing skin defects, such as skin grafts, flaps and tissue expansion. The tissue extender MID SEW (MID, France) was developed to achieve dermatotraction or suture reinforcement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this innovative silicone extender for large surgical wounds.
A single-centre retrospective and observational study on an unselected consecutive cohort of patients treated with a tissue extender was conducted. Indications, initial and final wound surfaces, and adverse events (AEs) were retrieved from electronic medical records. The main outcome measure was the time to complete wound closure.
We identified 50 patients from July 2017 to December 2018. Patients underwent cutaneous tumour-wide excision (n=44), or pilonidal disease surgical treatment (n=6). The average initial wound area was 53.3±42.4cm2. Healing was complete, without secondary dehiscence, within the first seven days after device withdrawal for 41 patients (82%). At least one AE was experienced by eight patients (16%) during the study period: five inflammation; five wound dehiscence; two skin necrosis; and one pain.
This case series suggests that the tissue extender may be effective and safe in its dermatotraction and suture reinforcement indications in the treatment of large wounds after wide excision of skin cancer or treatment of pilonidal disease.
This work was supported in part by the Hospices Civils de Lyon, France and in part by the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France. OB co-owns the patent on the MID SEW system. The authors have no other conflicts of interest to declare.

BACKGROUND: Dermatosurgical procedures are predominantly performed under local anesthesia, yet there are few studies on perioperative pain management for extensive or staged procedures under local anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to assess pain during dermatologic surgery, describe perioperative pain management, and identify factors that influence pain perception.
METHODS: This prospective, monocentric study included inpatients undergoing dermatologic surgery under local anesthesia from April to December 2021. Preoperative demographic data, a pain questionnaire, and four psychometric questionnaires (PCS, LOT-R, SFQ, PHQ-9) were collected. Postoperative pain and analgesic use during the first 24 hours were recorded.
RESULTS: A total of 120 patients (with a total of 191 interventions) were included in the study. Mean postoperative pain was reported to be very low (NRS < 2). Preoperative pain and expected postoperative pain were found to be predictive of postoperative pain. There was a strong correlation between catastrophizing and preoperative anxiety (r = 0.65) and a moderate correlation between depression and preoperative anxiety (r = 0.46).
CONCLUSIONS: Dermatologic surgery under local anesthesia is generally considered painless. During preoperative counseling and assessment, attention should be paid to patients who fear surgery, report pain, or anticipate postoperative pain, as they have an increased risk of experiencing postoperative pain.

BACKGROUND: Fast gut cutaneous sutures have become more prominent due to their low tissue reactivity, rapid absorption, and elimination of suture removal visits. It is not known how fast gut sutures compare to other closure modalities.
METHODS: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing fast gut sutures to alternative closure methods during dermatologic surgery. Data collected included patient and physician assessed cosmetic outcome as well as standardized complication rates.
RESULTS: Six studies were included in final analysis and reported on 208 patients. Fast gut sutures were associated with lower physician opinions of final scar when compared to polypropylene sutures (SMD 0.438; 95% CI 0.082 to 0.794). No differences existed between physician opinion of fast gut sutures and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (SMD - 0.024; 95% CI - 0.605 to 0.556). Complications with fast gut suture placement were rare, and included infection, dehiscence, and hematomas. Fast gut sutures were less likely to experience wound dehiscence than tissue adhesive (p = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: If no contraindications to polypropylene sutures exist, they may provide superior cosmetic outcomes compared to fast gut sutures. Further research is required to better quantify cosmetic outcomes and optimal use of fast gut sutures.

BACKGROUND: With the increasing demand for surgical procedures in dermatology, resident education in surgical dermatology has become important for delivering high-quality treatment. However, it remains unclear if a sufficient number of residency programs with quality standards exist, as there has been little research on this subject in South Korea.
OBJECTIVE: To identify the status of surgical dermatology education among residents and assess dermatologists\' perceptions of the subject.
METHODS: A 35-question survey was developed and distributed to all resident training hospitals and local clinics listed by the Korean Society of Dermatologic Surgery. Only third- and fourth-year residents were included and board-certified specialists from training hospitals and local clinics responded to the surveys.
RESULTS: Survey participants included 88 residents and 120 specialists of whom one-quarter of the residents attended regular monthly educational sessions. Most residents (93%) participated in cosmetic procedures, and many performed laser therapy. However, the opportunity for toxin or filler injection was rare, with only 12% of the residents having experience with filler injections. In response, 49% of residents and 32% of specialists said that more cosmetic training was required, whereas 28% of residents and 50% of specialists said that more training for both cosmetic and conventional surgeries was necessary.
CONCLUSIONS: The survey demonstrated a need for more training programs in surgical dermatology during residency and a perception gap between residents and specialists. Therefore, developing educational residency programs that focus on basic dermatologic surgery principles and their applications in cosmetic procedures is essential.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory follicular dermatological condition that typically affects the intertriginous and anogenital regions of the apocrine gland-bearing skin. The management of this chronic and recurring disease necessitates a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and surgical approaches to achieve the best possible outcomes. While medical treatments are recommended for this multimodal disease, surgical therapy, which is the gold standard of treatment for HS, has proven to be the most effective treatment because it provides long-lasting local disease control, reduces the recurrence of lesions, and ensures complete healing of lesions. In the last decade, there has been exponential growth in research into various surgical techniques and reconstructive care, enabling patients to have more surgical options. There is a wide range of surgical management procedures available, such as incision and drainage, deroofing, excisional surgery, carbon dioxide laser therapy, and skin tissue-sparing excision with electrosurgical peeling. Among these surgical procedures, wide surgical excision is the best option since it can eradicate all the affected lesions. Meanwhile, the preferred approach to reconstruction at various anatomical locations remains debatable. Here, we review a variety of surgical treatments and reconstructive techniques for HS, particularly various flap techniques for the axillary, gluteal, and inframammary regions.
