Artificial skin Integra - a biological membrane that could restore derma, is new material in treating burn wound and in many other specialties such as plastic surgery, orthopedics, and pediatrics. Integra was commonly used in cases deep burn on head and neck, hands. It speeds up formation new derma layers at implanted areas and the successful rate was high (95%), gives good results in functional and aesthetic aspects

A patient with contractile thermal scar in the neck received a plastic reconstruction by 2 supraclavicular fasicocutaneous flaps. The results have shown that distal head of two flaps was normal, process of scar healing was at good. There was no necrotic patient can lock up and turn normally. The curves of neck were reconstructed normally.

The hemifacial giant congenital nevus is a rare lesion but it always places a substantial challenge in the hand of the plastic surgeon. Surgical early management of these lesions is recommended and established by the use of tissue expansion and combined full-thickness skin grafting. Although the use of serial tissue expansion for the burn scars and the giant pigmented nevi of the trunk was recently presented, but this technique has not been reported for the reconstruction of the hemifacial congenital nevus in the literature. This case illustrates a successful surgical management of a serial tissue expansion and full-thickness skin grafting for hemifacial congenital nevus.

From 1996 to 2002, 72 female patients aged 10-42 years old with breast abnormalities were operated by various techniques (Z plasty, skin graft, local flap, musculocutaneous pedical flap, breast implant and tissue expansion). Results showed that plastic surgeries were applied more and more to response to the patient’s requests of aesthetics and functions. In mammaplasty, the first is aesthetic, therefore surgeons had to know many techniques and sensitize with each case

Author introduced materials: the shape of pocket, composition of pocket and elastomer shell; and techniques of breast augmentation including incision, implant pocket placement, post-operation care and complications. Breast augmentation by silicone implants resolves basically the needs of aesthetic aspect, emancipates women by erasing complexes of anatomical defects. Lack of information about new techniques and incorrect indications will give bad aesthetic consequences for patients, although breast augmentation is a specific surgery in plastic surgery

16 patients were benefited by a plastic surgery for burn scars on the zone of breast. 56% of these patients acquired the burn on the zone of breast before their puberty. 62% of subjects with the wounds on breast were interened by various techniques of plastic surgery in the period of completed development of the mamonary glands. The most indicated (64%) ones were classic techniques such as Z shape plastic surgery, skin thick autograph, localflap. Skin thick autograph can be used mainly in the cases of plastic surgery under the breast plica (28%). The techniques of tissue dilation is used only 16% of cases, the skin largy flap is used in 2 patients with the burn scars of skin and of mamonary glands. In each patients, 1 to 4 various techniques can be used according to the age and the form of injury

Botulinum toxin type A has been used in clinical practice to treat some myoneural disorders for more than four decades. However, until recently this toxin has been used for aesthetic purpose, to remove and improve wrinkles on the face - one sign of ageing process. The therapy using botulinum toxin gradually takes vital roles in aesthetic surgery because it is simple, with the little side effects and complications. The effectiveness of the treatment can obttain immediately after treatment without interventionsurgery

The breast cancer accounted for the highest rate among cancers in women. In development countries, the plastic reconstruction after operations of breast cancer played an important role to help patients integrating into the normal life. In Vietnam, together with progresses in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, the plastic reconstruction of breast is being considered and primarily applied in some professions.

This study was conducted in order to review the experience in the reconstruction of postburn head-neck deformities effect in Hµ Néi plastic surgery Centre between 1995 and 1997. 135 procedures were used to reconstruct postburn scar in 55 patients. All the patients had suffered deforming flame and chemical burns in the head and the neck. Some of the reconstructions ware essential procedures, such as eyelid ectropion, neck release by means of Z plastics, skin grafts, expanded flaps, local flaps, and free flaps... Reconstruction of some parts of face, head of aesthetic importance were the late elective procedures which can be performed after scar maturation.

The plastic reconstruction of defect in the head, neck and face played an important role in the rehabilitation and plastic recovery for patients suffered cancer in the head, neck and face. Some techniques and materials are being applied in the plastic reconstruction comprised the autologous cutaneous transplantation, local cutaneous transplantation, pedicular flaps, expanded flaps and artificial materials.
