Endoscopic brow lift: a retrospective review of 628 consecutive cases over 5 years
Chiu, Ernest S; Baker, Daniel C
2003 Aug;112(2):628-633, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
Since its introduction in 1992, endoscopic brow lift has gained tremendous recognition because it has been promoted as a novel technique to correct brow ptosis as well as glabella rhytids in a minimally invasive manner with fewer complications than the classic coronal brow lift method. In this retrospective study, 628 endoscopic brow lift procedures performed over a 5-year period (1997-2001) at Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat Hospital were reviewed. The number of endoscopic brow lift procedures performed at this institution has declined 70 percent. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the causes of this striking trend by soliciting the opinions of 21 New York plastic surgeons on their current brow ptosis management. The response rate was 84 percent (21 of 25 surgeons contacted). Currently, 25 percent of the interviewed plastic surgeons perform endoscopic brow lift regularly, 50 percent of the plastic surgeons perform endoscopic brow lift occasionally, and 25 percent of the participants no longer perform endoscopic brow lift. While most patients (70 percent) were satisfied with their results, only 50 percent of the plastic surgeons were pleased with the long-term results (after more than 2 years of follow-up). Observed postsurgical complications of endoscopic brow lift included alopecia, hairline changes, infected hardware, brow asymmetry requiring surgical revision, prolonged forehead/brow paresthesia, frontal branch nerve paralysis, and scalp dysesthesia. These complications were similar to those resulting from open brow lifts. Seventy-one percent of the surveyed New York plastic surgeons routinely administered botulinum toxin type A (Botox) within 6 months of the endoscopic brow lift procedure. Possible explanations for the decline in the overall number of endoscopic brow lift procedures include the following: (1) the selection criteria for the ideal endoscopic brow lift patients are currently more limited; (2) other techniques equal or surpass endoscopic brow lift in effectiveness and predictability; and (3) endoscopic brow lift is ineffective in the majority of patients. There is no single superior surgical procedure for brow ptosis management available at this time

Minimal incision rhytidectomy (short scar face lift) with lateral SMASectomy: evolution and application
Baker, D C
2001 Jan;21(1):14-26, Aesthetic surgery journal
Background: The evolution of the author's technique for minimal incision rhytidectomy is reviewed. Objective: The purpose of this article is to outline the indications, advantages, and disadvantages of this technique. Methods: A total of 749 cases covering more than 10 years of clinical experience are reviewed. A classification of patient types is proposed that includes indications and surgical programs appropriate for each patient category. Results: In properly selected patients, the technique is safe, reliable, and reproducible. Complication rates are similar to those of other standard techniques. Conclusions: Minimal incision rhytidectomy with lateral SMASectomy is a useful technique that the plastic surgeon can add to his or her armamentarium

Suppression of human synovial cell proliferation by dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid
Baker, D G; Krakauer, K A; Tate, G; Laposata, M; Zurier, R B
1989 Oct;32(10):1273-1281, Arthritis & rheumatism
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and oils enriched in its precursor fatty acids suppress inflammation and joint tissue injury in several animal models. Since synovial cell proliferation is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis, we studied the effect of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), an immediate precursor of PGE1, on the growth of human adherent synovial cells (ASC) in tissue culture. When stimulated by appropriate concentrations of recombinant interleukin-1 beta (rIL-1 beta), ASC proliferate and produce PGE. DGLA-enriched medium suppressed both baseline and rIL-1 beta-stimulated ASC growth fivefold, compared with medium supplemented with arachidonic acid. Indomethacin reduced the effect of the DGLA. Synovial cells incorporated the DGLA, and rIL-1 beta-stimulated cells that were incubated with DGLA exhibited a 14-fold increase in PGE1 (to 25.2 +/- 6.0 ng/ml, mean +/- SD) and a 70% decrease in PGE2 (to 25.2 +/- 4.2 ng/ml) compared with cells in control medium. At equivalent concentrations (5 x 10(-7) M), PGE1 increased the level of cellular cAMP to a greater extent than did PGE2 (16.8 +/- 2.0 pmoles versus 4.3 +/- 1.9 pmoles, mean +/- SEM). Exogenous PGE1 was also a more effective inhibitor of cell growth. Similarly, cAMP concentrations in cells exposed to DGLA for 6 hours were greater than concentrations in arachidonic acid-enriched cultures (17.8 +/- 3.3 pmoles versus 2.1 +/- 2.0 pmoles). These observations suggest that DGLA can restrain ASC growth, an effect which may be due to its capacity to increase PGE1 production and subsequent cellular cAMP concentration

Suppression of acute and chronic inflammation by dietary gamma linolenic acid
Tate, G; Mandell, B F; Laposata, M; Ohliger, D; Baker, D G; Schumacher, H R; Zurier, R B
1989 Jun;16(6):729-734, Journal of rheumatology
We examined the effect of diets enriched in gamma linolenic acid (GLA) on acute inflammation induced by monosodium urate crystals, and on subacute and chronic inflammation induced by complete Freund's adjuvant in the rat subcutaneous air pouch and in rats with adjuvant induced arthritis. Diets were enriched (15% fat) with borage seed oil (23% GLA) or safflower oil (less than 1% GLA). Diets enriched with GLA suppressed inflammation markedly in all models, whereas the safflower oil diet did not influence the inflammatory response. The degree of inflammation was quantified by measuring pouch exudate cell concentration, lysosomal enzyme activity, volume, protein concentration and prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4 concentrations. In the chronic air pouch model, the pouch lining was thickened, invaded by mononuclear cells and exhibited proliferation of lining cells 14 days after adjuvant injection. The lesion was far less severe and usual pouch lining architecture was maintained in animals given dietary GLA. Livers of rats fed borage seed oil were enriched in GLA and dihomo gamma linolenic acid (DGLA), and the DGLA/arachidonate ratio was increased 5-fold compared with animals fed safflower oil. Enrichment of diet with plant seed oils rich in GLA may provide a way to alter generation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes and to influence acute and chronic inflammatory responses

Suppression of monosodium urate crystal-induced acute inflammation by diets enriched with gamma-linolenic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid
Tate, G A; Mandell, B F; Karmali, R A; Laposata, M; Baker, D G; Schumacher, H R Jr; Zurier, R B
1988 Dec;31(12):1543-1551, Arthritis & rheumatism
A subcutaneous air pouch formed in Sprague-Dawley rats was used to study the effect of diets enriched in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) (in plant seed oil) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (in fish oil) on acute inflammation induced by monosodium urate crystals. The GLA-enriched diet suppressed significantly the cellular phase of inflammation (polymorphonuclear leukocyte accumulation, crystal phagocytosis, and lysosomal enzyme activity), but it had little effect on the fluid phase (exudate volume and protein concentration). In contrast, the EPA-enriched diet suppressed the fluid phase but not the cellular phase of inflammation. The findings indicate that the fluid and cellular phases of acute inflammation can be controlled independently. A combined diet of fish oil and plant seed oil (EPA-enriched and GLA-enriched) reduced both the cellular and fluid phases of inflammation. Thus, dietary provision of alternative substrates for oxidative metabolism (other than arachidonic acid) modifies monosodium urate crystal-induced acute inflammation

Experience with tarsal suspension as a factor in lower lid blepharoplasty
Lisman RD; Rees T; Baker D; Smith B
1987 Jun;79(6):897-905, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
The bowed lower eyelid, with scleral show, is a common but untoward result following blepharoplasty with even minimal skin excision. A number of conditions, unrecognized preoperatively, can predispose a patient to scleral show. These include eyelid laxity with or without atrophic orbicularis muscle tone, lax canthal tendons, hypoplastic malar eminences, unrecognized Graves' ophthalmopathy, unilateral high myopia, or the secondary blepharoplasty. Suspension of the tarsus of the lower eyelid, concomitant with or following blepharoplasty, can straighten bowed lids and provide 2 to 3 mm of elevation, if desired. A classification of patients likely to develop scleral show is presented along with a revised technique of tarsal suspension

Efficacy of surgical treatment for paralytic ectropion
Lisman, R D; Smith, B; Baker, D; Arthurs, B
1987 Jun;94(6):671-681, Ophthalmology
Paralytic ectropion can be corrected with numerous procedures. Advocates of particular procedures have previously been unable to quote statistical rates of success for each procedure over significant lengths of time. This study reviews over 200 cases of paralytic ectropion, representing the spectrum of seventh nerve disease seen at an eye and ear specialty hospital and a general medical facility. Of all eyelid implantation devices 93 to 95% failed to work or needed reoperation by 3 years postoperatively. Soft tissue surgery without prosthetic implants or exoplants provided 60% success after a 3-year follow-up. Eyelid elevation or tightening coupled with surgery for facial reanimation produced a higher rate of success at 3 years (83%). An overwhelming number of patients (62%) complained of some degree of epiphora after any or all procedures. Based on these findings, soft tissue surgery without prosthetic implants or exoplants has a higher rate of success

Separation and quantification of prostaglandins E1 and E2 as their panacyl derivatives using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography
Krakauer, K A; Williamson, P K; Baker, D G; Zurier, R B
1986 Aug;32(2):301-310, Prostaglandins
Separation and quantification of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were achieved using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Panacyl bromide (p-(9-anthroyloxy)phenacyl bromide) (PAB) derivatives of PGE2 and PGE1 were prepared. Reverse phase HPLC using a linear gradient of 56% to 80% acetonitrile in water containing 0.10% acetic acid gave baseline resolution of the two derivatives. A 3 um diameter particle, C18 column provided good resolution and reproducible recoveries. Human synovial tissue cells were incubated with the precursor fatty acids for PGE1 or PGE2 and stimulated with a crude Interleukin 1 (IL-1) preparation. Cells grown in the presence of dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA), the precursor for PGE1, made significantly more PGE1 than cells grown in control medium or in the presence of arachidonic acid, precursor for PGE2. PGE2 synthesis was reduced when DGLA was added to cells (resting or IL-1-stimulated)

Cyclic adenosine 3'5' monophosphate stimulates prostaglandin E production by human adherent synovial cells
Baker, D G; Baumgarten, D F; Bomalaski, J S; Zurier, R B
1985 Oct;30(4):669-682, Prostaglandins
Production of prostaglandin E (PGE) by rheumatoid synovium appears important to regulation of the pathologic process in rheumatoid arthritis. Cells derived from human synovium by proteolytic digestion produce large amounts of PGE which in turn can elevate synovial cell cAMP levels and inhibit cell proliferation. Data presented here indicate that cAMP can further increase production of PGE from adherent synovial cells (ASC). PGE production occurs over 12-72 hr and is not due to the ability of cAMP to inhibit cell proliferation. Exposure of cells to cAMP results in increased release of 3H arachidonic acid from precursors but not in activation of the cyclooxygenase enzyme. This phenomenon suggests the presence in adherent synovial cells of a mechanism for amplifying PGE production

Eyelid and orbital treatment following radical maxillectomy
Smith, B; Lisman, R D; Baker, D
1984 Mar;91(3):218-228, Ophthalmology
Malignant lesions of the nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses often encroach upon the orbit. A series of nineteen patients who underwent partial or radical maxillectomy is presented to summarize the eyelid and orbital findings that required further treatment. Fifteen of these patients were left with an intact globe and a visually useful eye, but the defects of epiphora, eyelid malposition, dacryocystitis, and diplopia were visually threatening and required treatment. The cosmetic deformities and diplopia following maxillectomy and radiation are partially amenable to treatment with late bone grafting. Lacrimal outflow deficiencies were successfully treated with dacryocystorhinostomy. Only patients with ocular complications following maxillectomy are included in this series; therefore, the range of problems and their treatment confronting the ophthalmologist is summarized

Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face: clinicopathologic evaluation and treatment
Slavin SA; Baker DC; McCarthy JG; Mufarrij A
1983 Aug;72(2):158-164, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
Congenital lipomatosis of the face is characterized by collections of nonencapsulated, mature lipocytes which infiltrate local tissues and tend to recur after surgery. These lesions represent a distinct clinicopathologic entity that has not been previously reported in this location in children. Three children with congenital lipomatosis of the face were treated at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery over a 2- to 14-year follow-up period. In each instance, pathologic evaluation by light and electron microscopy revealed similar lesions sharing the following morphologic criteria: (1) nonencapsulated tumors containing mature fat cells, (2) infiltration of adjacent muscle and soft tissue, (3) absence of malignant characteristics, (4) absence of lipoblasts, (5) presence of fibrous elements in conjunction with increased numbers of nerve bundles and vessels, and (6) hypertrophy of subjacent bone. All three lesions recurred after numerous excisions, some of which were extensive. All were benign by histologic examination and remained so for as long as 14 years. Surgical treatment improved the aesthetic appearance of each child despite evidence of tumor persistence. Although these tumors are benign, we recommend an early aggressive surgical approach to control the infiltrative nature of their growth and to improve facial appearance

Paralysis of the mandibular branch of the facial nerve
Conley J; Baker DC; Selfe RW
1982 Nov;70(5):569-577, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
A direct and simple operation of transfer of the anterior belly of the digastric muscle with its attached tendon is presented. It was carried out in 36 patients, with three minor complications. It has proved effective in paralysis of the mandibular division of the facial nerve as a primary or secondary procedure. In ablative resections where this branch of the nerve is intentionally sacrificed, it is advised to do the muscle and tendon transfer as part of the primary operation. In aesthetic operations or where the status of the nerve (post-operatively) is not specifically know, it is advised to wait for spontaneous return for an interval of 3 to 6 months. If the improvement is not satisfactory, then this technique may be considered

Immediate reconstruction of full-thickness chest wall defects
Boyd AD; Shaw WW; McCarthy JG; Baker DC; Trehan NK; Acinapura AJ; Spencer FC
1981 Oct;32(4):337-346, Annals of thoracic surgery
Twenty-one patients had full-thickness chest wall defects reconstructed at the New York University Medical Center in the last ten years. Marlex mesh provided chest wall stability in 5 patients. In 9 patients with radiation ulcers Marlex mesh was not required; a severe fibrotic reaction had obliterated the pleural space and prevented paradoxical motion. Partial sternal resections did not require Marlex stabilization, while a total sternectomy resulted in marked ventilatory insufficiency in a patient who would have benefited from the use of a stabilizing material. Random pattern flaps were used initially; more recently, axial pattern, myocutaneous, and myocutaneous free flaps were employed. Necrosis developed in 4 (36%) of the 11 patients with random pattern flaps, but was not seen with the newer flap techniques. Myocutaneous free flaps provided uncomplicated coverage of and stability to three large, potentially contaminated defects. It seems that with the currently available flap techniques and the methods of chest wall stabilization, immediate repair of all full-thickness chest wall defects is possible

Microvascular free dermis-fat flaps for reconstruction after ablative head and neck surgery
Baker, D C; Shaw, W W; Conley, J
1980 Aug;106(8):449-453, Archives of otolaryngology
Reconstruction of the head and neck region following radical parotidectomy with or without mandibulectomy may be a difficult procedure. Facial skin is usually preserved, but the underlying soft-tissue structures and bone are deficient. The challenge is to augment the facial defect while the overlying skin is preserved with a high success rate, minimal time, one operative stage, and reduced secondary deformity to the patient. In certain instances, a microvascular free flap is ideal. We have used a de-epithelialized microvascular free groin flap successfully to reconstruct large parotid-mandibular defects in nine patients. A small bridge of epithelium is left to relieve tension from edema and to monitor the flap postoperatively. The high success rate, minimal complications, and acceptable donor site defect make the microvascular free dermis-fat flap an ideal choice for this type of reconstruction

Avoiding facial nerve injuries in rhytidectomy. Anatomical variations and pitfalls
Baker DC; Conley J
1979 Dec;64(6):781-795, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
Injury to the facial nerve in rhytidectomy has been occurring in less than one percent of the cases, and a spontaneous return of function in more than 80 percent of these injuries has resulted within 6 months. With the introduction of the newer and more aggressive techniques of platysmal and subplatysmal flaps and SMAS dissections, the risk of injury to facial nerve branches is obviously increased. Though there has not yet been an increase in the facial nerve injuries reported, these techniques are still relatively recent additions to the face-lift operation-and usually they have been done by more experienced surgeons, taking more time and working under direct vision with a more careful dissection. More care is needed to prevent injuries. We discuss here the detailed anatomy of the muscular branches of the facial nerve, how to prevent injuries to them during rhytidectomy, and how to manage injuries when they do occur

Hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis for reinnervation of the paralyzed face
Conley J; Baker DC
1979 Jan;63(1):63-72, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
The hypoglossal-facial nerve crossover is a valuable surgical procedure for the treatment of certain types of facial paralysis. It is most effective when used as an integral part of a primary ablative operation for the treatment of cancer in this region. In the treatment of long-standing facial paralysis, its application requires an intact peripheral facial nerve system and some functioning mimetic muscles with an obliterated proximal facial nerve segment. It is recognized that other procedures are available for repair in patients who meet essentially these same criteria. The disadvantages are minimal intraoral crippling, mass movements of the face and, in some instances, hypertonia of the face. The advantages are improved facial tone, protection of the eye, intentional facial movements controlled by the tongue, and movements associated with physiological functions of the tongue

Conservation of major leg arteries when used as recipient supply for a free flap

1979 Mar;63(3):317-322, Plastic & reconstructive surgery
The potential hazards of using proximal segments of leg arteries for end-to-end anastomosis to vessels in free flaps are examined, and alternatives are proposed. The convservation of the major tibial arteries seems highly desirable, to minimize any subsequent development of ischemic complications. Turning a free flap upside down moves the anastomosis to the distal part of the extremity, thus conserving most of the muscular branches of the recipient artery. Cutting the recipient artery distally and bending it back in recurrent fashion also allows for easy end-to-end anastomosis, with many technical advantages
