tenotomy - ANS-Sharp dissection is performed with _______ or fine Metzenbaum scissors and
toothed tissue forceps.
the recipient site develops a new blood supply from the base of the wound. - ANS-Skin grafting
provides an effective way to cover a wound if vascularity is adequate, infection is absent, and
hemostasis is achieved. Skin from the donor site is detached from its blood supply and placed in
the recipient site. The best description of a successful skin graft outcome is:
eschar - ANS-Third-degree burns develop _________, which is devitalized, nonelastic tissue
adhering to the wound site.
mammoplasty - ANS-Performed to change the size of the breast
Rhytidectomy - ANS-Performed to rejuvenate an aging face
panniculectomy - ANS-Usually performed after significant weight loss
skin graft - ANS-A stent dressing is used
almost any body part of a child. - ANS-Replantation is an attempt to reattach a completely
amputated digit or other body part. Revascularization is the procedure performed on incomplete
amputations, when the part remains attached to the body by skin, artery, vein, or nerve. Good
candidates for replantation are those with the following amputations:
Autologous human tissue - ANS-A broad range of implant materials are used in plastic and
reconstructive surgery. Select the implant that represents a biologic composition of a surgical
implant.
Le Fort II. - ANS-Facial fractures are classified according to a system developed by Rene Le
Fort in the early 1900s. A fracture that starts at the nasal bones, crosses the frontal process of
the maxilla and lacrimal bones, and extends through the orbital floor, infraorbital rim, and lateral
maxillary sinus wall is known as a:
face lift - ANS-A rhytidectomy is typically known as a __________.
split-thickness - ANS-A dermatome is used to harvest a large _____ skin graft.
split-thickness - ANS-Skin grafts that consist of the epidermis and a portion of the papillary
dermis are called ________ grafts.
, pectoralis major - ANS-When performing a breast augmentation with an implant, the surgeon
creates a pocket under the __________________ to receive the implant.
biological graft - ANS-A graft derived from live tissue—human or animal—is called a(n)
__________________.
Walter - ANS-The other name for a Freeman retractor is a:
Lesions are mapped, excised, and examined by frozen section until clear margins are found. -
ANS-Mohs' surgery is a specialized excision used to treat basal and squamous cell skin
cancers. Select the statement about Mohs' surgery that best reflects the process, procedure,
and outcome goal.
Debridement - ANS-____________ is the surgical removal of dead skin, debris, and infection
material from a wound.
Prewarm the OR to above the ambient high temperature for an adult. - ANS-Marissa Walton is
transferred to the OR from the burn unit for debridement of the partial-thickness burn areas and
a dressing change under anesthesia. What important preparation for the procedure will the
perioperative team need to perform before Marissa arrives in the OR?
panniculectomy - ANS-The procedure performed to remove excess skin and adipose tissue
from the abdominal wall is called a _________.
reconstructive, cosmetic and cosmetic - ANS-Denise Michaelson, a 46-year-old woman with an
early-stage second primary cancer in her left breast, has elected to have a bilateral mastectomy
with saline implants. She has requested that the surgeon also revise a small unsightly scar on
her right knee and pierce her ears. While Denise's breast tumor could be treated with an
excisional biopsy, she has decided to have a mastectomy of both breasts, which is considered
an appropriate preemptive (preventative) surgery for a woman of her age with two primary
cancers of the breast. The saline implant insertion surgery is considered a _______________
procedure, the scar revision is considered a ___________ procedure, and the ear piercing is
considered a _______________ procedure.
the integumentary system - ANS-Protecting underlying tissues and organs, excreting organic
waste, and storing of nutrients are functions of ________________.
double- or single-prong skin hook - ANS-During removal of a superficial lesion, the skin edges
are retracted with a(n) _______________________.
1 mm - ANS-Microsurgery, a fundamental tool in reconstructive plastic surgery, allows an almost
unlimited choice of reconstructive methods, replacement of lost tissue with similar components,
and optimal selection of donor sites with minimal morbidity. Reconstructive microsurgical
procedures include replantation of amputated body parts, repair of facial nerves, repair of
