Fat-grafting injection for soft-tissue augmentation.

Autogenous graft tissue is better than homologous and heterologous tissue for the improvement of body contour to eliminate deep defects in the skin surface. This paper presents techniques for fat-graft injection obtained from liposuction and the instruments specially designed for this procedure. An analytical study is presented, and the final results obtained with this method are compared with different filling materials used for aesthetic and reconstructive purposes. A statistical study of 253 operated patients in a long-term follow-up (1984-1988) is registered. Special comments have been included relative to patient recovery, the amount of fat absorption and the amount of fat tissue remaining, and fat injection revisions and complications.

Patient safety in accredited office surgical facilities.

&NA; The medical profession is besieged by concerns about cost containment. This in turn has focused attention on the use of ambulatory surgical facilities. However, the costs of hospital outpatient surgery programs usually prevent them from being competitive when compared with the costs of using office surgical facilities. To address the question of patient safety in office surgical facilities, the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) sent a questionnaire to its accredited facilities. Two‐hundred and forty‐one (57.7 percent) of the 418 accredited facilities returned the anonymous questionnaires, a very high response rate. Of interest are the following findings: 400,675 operative procedures were reported during a 5‐year period. Significant complications (hematoma, hypertensive episode, wound infection, sepsis, hypotension) were infrequent, occurring in 1 in every 213 cases. Return to the operating room within 24 hours and preventive hospitalization were less frequent. A death occurred in 1 in 57,000 cases (0.0017 percent). The overall risk is comparable in an accredited office (plastic surgical facility) and in a free‐standing or hospital ambulatory surgical facility. This study documents an excellent safety record for plastic surgery done in accredited office surgical facilities by board‐certified plastic surgeons.
