Turki IM. Surgical techniques for the webbed neck: a narrative review with a comparative study and surgical decision-making algorithm for an optimal aesthetic result. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 28:469-484. [PMID: 37340235 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-023-01166-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE A webbed neck is a conspicuous deformity that requires meticulous repair. Several surgical techniques are available; however, there is no guideline, or gold standard technique reference based on webbed neck characteristics. This article aims to conduct a narrative review of the surgical techniques with a comparative study to select those leading to the best aesthetic results and to propose a decision-making algorithm for surgical techniques according to the characteristics of the webbed neck. METHODS A narrative review of surgical techniques of the webbed neck was performed by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to summarize their particularities. A comparison of surgical techniques was made according to technicality and outcome characteristics. Clinical features of the webbed neck were reviewed to propose a classification of the webbed neck. RESULTS Twenty-five articles were identified describing surgical techniques realized on 66 patients. Durak and Hikade techniques offered better results in the Z-plasty category. The Actaturk technique leads to better outcomes in the posterior approach techniques. Reichenberger and Mehri Turki's techniques were the most suitable lateral approach techniques. Otherwise, four types of webbed necks were defined based on the fibrotic band and the hair pattern. CONCLUSION According to the typology of the web, a surgical decision-making algorithm is built to assist surgeons in finding the most suitable selected techniques for an optimal aesthetic result which corresponds to the achievement of a symmetrical neck contour with highly satisfactory hair placement while avoiding noticeable scars and recurrence.

Gold S, Huang C, Radi R, Gupta P, Felner EI, Haw JS, Childress K, Sokkary N, Tangpricha V, Goodman M, Yeung H. Dermatologic care of patients with differences of sex development. Int J Womens Dermatol 2023; 9:e106. [PMID: 37671254 PMCID: PMC10473340 DOI: 10.1097/jw9.0000000000000106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Differences of sex development (DSD or disorders of sex development) are uncommon congenital conditions, characterized by atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomic sex. Objective Dermatologic care is an important component of the multidisciplinary care needed for individuals with DSD. This article discusses the most common primary dermatologic manifestations of DSD in addition to the cutaneous manifestations of hormonal and surgical therapies in individuals with DSD. Data sources Published articles including case series and case reports on PubMed. Study selections Selection was conducted by examining existing literature with a team of multidisciplinary specialists. Methods Narrative review. Limitations This article was not conducted as a systematic review. Results In Klinefelter syndrome, refractory leg ulcers and incontinentia pigmenti have been described. Turner syndrome is associated with lymphatic malformations, halo nevi, dermatitis, and psoriasis. Virilization can be seen in some forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, where acne and hirsutism are common. Conclusion Dermatologists should consider teratogenic risk for treatments of skin conditions in DSD depending on pregnancy potential. Testosterone replacement, commonly used for Klinefelter syndrome, androgen insensitivity syndrome, 5-alpha reductase deficiency, gonadal dysgenesis, or ovotesticular DSD, may cause acne.

Recognition and management of adults with Turner syndrome: From the transition of adolescence through the senior years. Am J Med Genet A 2019; 179:1987-2033. [PMID: 31418527 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.61310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2019] [Revised: 06/11/2019] [Accepted: 07/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Turner syndrome is recognized now as a syndrome familiar not only to pediatricians and pediatric specialists, medical geneticists, adult endocrinologists, and cardiologists, but also increasingly to primary care providers, internal medicine specialists, obstetricians, and reproductive medicine specialists. In addition, the care of women with Turner syndrome may involve social services, and various educational and neuropsychologic therapies. This article focuses on the recognition and management of Turner syndrome from adolescents in transition, through adulthood, and into another transition as older women. It can be viewed as an interpretation of recent international guidelines, complementary to those recommendations, and in some instances, an update. An attempt was made to provide an international perspective. Finally, the women and families who live with Turner syndrome and who inspired several sections, are themselves part of the broad readership that may benefit from this review.
