“…Harris (6) , em seguida, descreveu as primeiras aplicações da iontoforese na medicina, utilizando a técnica para o transporte das seguintes substâncias: sulfato de cobre para o tratamento de tinea pedis e cervicite crônica, sulfato de zinco para o tratamento de otite crônica e rinite vasomotora, nitrato de prata para o tratamento de osteoartrite e artrite reumatóide. A iontoforese também foi utilizada no transporte de pilocarpina transcutânea em pacientes com fibrose cística (7) , de corticosteróides para o tratamento de condições músculo-esqueléticas e urológicas (8) , de anestésicos locais na membrana timpânica e na mucosa periodontal (9)(10) , de fluoreto de sódio para redução da sensibilidade dental (11) , de monofosfato de vidarabina para o tratamento de Herpes simplex (12) e de gentamicina no controle de queimaduras auriculares (13) .…”

“…In addition, this technique has been used to deliver pilocarpine transcutaneously for sweat chloride concentration testing in cystic fibrosis patients (3), and to deliver glucocorticoid steroids for the treatment of musculoskeletal (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis) and urological conditions (e.g., Peyronie's disease) (4,5). More recently, iontophoresis has been utilized to administer local anesthesia to the tympanic membrane and the periodontal mucosa (6,7), to deliver sodium fluoride for desensitization of teeth (8), to administer vidarabine monophosphate for the treatment of herpes simplex orolabialis (9), and to deliver gentamicin for the management of burned ears (10).…”

“…Ainda em relação à idade, os pacientes com deformidades adquiridas do pavilhão auricular, apresentavam uma faixa etária média semelhante àquela encontrada entre vítimas de trauma em geral (Kobusingye, 2000 (Grant, 1967;Dowling et al, 1968;Mills, 1998;Feldman, 1990;Rigano, 1992). Na tentativa de minimizar as dificuldades encontradas nessas reconstruções, foram descritas na literatura diversas técnicas para cobertura da cartilagem dependendo do grau de acometimento da pele da região auricular, desde enxertos, fáscia temporoparietal até retalho livre de fáscia do antebraço (Bhandari, 1998).…”

The distinctive anatomic features and topography render the ear unique in the human body. Total or partial reconstruction of the ear may be required in many clinical conditions, but because technical difficulties are common, the rate of postoperative complications increases. Objectives: To analyze the epidemiologic data of patients who underwent surgery for reconstruction of the ear due to congenital conditions (microtia) or acquired deformities (trauma, burns and others), and to compare the results in order to define which group had the lowest rate of complications. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted with 279 cases of ear reconstruction performed between 1994 and 2004 by the Discipline of Plastic Surgery of the University of São Paulo Medical School. The patients were initially separated in two groups, according to their condition (congenital or acquired), to compare their data. Results: Male was the prevailing gender in both groups of ear deformities: congenital (61.3%) and acquired conditions (68.7%). The patients with congenital deformities had a mean age of 14.3 years at the beginning of the treatment, whereas the patients with acquired deformities were 29.5 years old, in average. The major causes of acquired deformities were trauma (55% of the cases in this group) and burns (29%). The only cause of congenital deformity observed was microtia. Patients required an average of 4.2 surgical procedures. However, those with sequelae of burn injuries were submitted to a significantly higher number of procedures (5.9-p<0.01). Cartilage exposure (15.1% of the total) and postauricular bridles (16.5%) were the major complications observed in this study. The latter was more common among those cases with microtia and sequelae of burns. Conclusions: Patients with traumatic injuries had a better outcome after surgery than those with microtia or burn injuries, because of a lower rate of complications.
