Abstract

Background : Anthropometry is a non-invasive, inexpensive, and objective method for evaluating orofacial morphology. This method has clinical applications in myofunctional assessment and therapy. Photogrammetry is a reliable and accurate method for measuring certain facial dimensions. In Indonesia, to date there has been no research that has conducted a photogrammetric evaluation of lip anthropormetry. Method : This study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University which began in May to October 2024 with research subjects, namely 90 first-year undergraduate medical students, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University. Data in the form of anthropometry, race, history of congenital abnormalities, facial trauma, siliconoma, age, gender and smoking were recorded and then analyzed. Result : The results of the analysis of lip anthropometry based on gender showed a significant difference in lower lip height, where in women the average was 3.25 (0.36) and in men 3.01 (0.30), with a p value of 0.001. Likewise, the lower lip height was found to be significantly different with a p value = 0.003. Upper vermilion height in women was 1.51 (0.35) while in men it was 1.36 (0.25), these results were statistically significant (p value = 0.041). However, the comparison of lower vermillion did not show any significant difference between the two groups. Cutaneous lower lip and philtrum width were also significantly different with p values of 0.004 and 0.015, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to provide an overview of the analysis of anthropometric measurements of the lips using the photogrammetry method as basic data for measuring ideal lip anatomy in the field of facial reconstruction in Indonesia.

Abstract

The consequences of post-burn neck contractures are considered the greatest challenge in reconstructive surgery. This deformity affects the neck area thereby limiting head movement. These complications can be associated with loss of articulation, cosmetic disfigurement and psychological changes that impair quality of life and result in loss of productivity. Therefore, an appropriate surgical management are essential to obtain optimal results. ALT (anterolateral) free flap can be used to resurface the defect, this technique provides a long pedicle with adequate lumen diameter of blood vessels. The z-plasty technique is useful for redirect a scar into better alignment with a natural skin fold or the lines of least skin tension. Split-thickness skin graft (STSG) is a preferred technique for large wound areas and relatively avascular sites. This study aims to report our experience in reconstructing burnt mentosternal contractures with ALT free flap, z-plasty and STSG. We present a clinical case of a thirty-five years old male with post-burn mentosternal contracture ONAH classification type III, dermogenic type diffuse flexion contracture of the colli region, anterior thorax region, and left and right superior extremity regions, dermogenic type linear contracture of the left and right anterior axillary regions, and burned ear deformity in the left and right auricular due to a history of burns from twenty-four years ago. A contracture release procedure was performed with ALT free flap reconstruction, z-plasty and STSG. After the reconstruction, a pleasing outcome was accomplished in terms of both functionality and esthetics. A severe mentosternal contracture was released, and the limited movement of the neck and both extremities was greatly lessened. Mentosternal contracture reconstruction with ALT free flap, z-plasty and STSG showed a good outcome in this case.
