Demand for nipple- and skin- sparing mastectomy (NSM/SSM) with immediate breast reconstruction (BR) has increased at the same time as indications post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) have broadened. The aim of Oncoplastic Breast Consortium initiative was to address relevant questions arising this clinically challenging scenario.A large global panel oncologic, oncoplastic reconstructive surgeons, patient advocates oncologists developed recommendations clinical practice in an iterative...
SummaryINTRODUCTIONPostoperative hematoma requiring intervention occurs more frequently in chest masculinization surgeries than other types of breast surgeries, with an incidence ranging from 0.7% to 13.2% per patient. Although there is increasing evidence that topically applied tranexamic acid (TXA) effectively reduces postoperative bleeding its impact on remains understudied.AIMSExamining the significance topical TXA reducing surgeries.METHODSThis retrospective cohort comprises...
Background and aims: The present study aimed to compare patients who underwent deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction with without the implementation of new optimized surgical recovery pathway. protocol aims standardize optimize perioperative management, shorten hospital stays, lower complication rates for undergoing major procedures. Methods: Consecutive immediate or delayed DIEP breast were included in this study. Data regarding patient demographics, timing,...
Autologous fat grafting has become a frequent, simple, reproducible and low-risk technique for revisional or partial breast reconstruction. The presented European multicenter study describes an optimized treatment follow-up protocol the de novo reconstruction after total mastectomy by lipotransfer alone.A retrospective trial included 135 procedures on 28 (35 breasts) postmastectomy patients (mean 52.4 years). All women were treated with water-jet assisted method (BEAULI™) combined additional...
Lipofilling can be used to reconstruct a breast without additional implants or autologous composite grafts. However, methods maximize retention of the transferred fat remain under debate. Here, authors present their experience reconstruction with lipofilling concomitant use tissue expanders.Patients who had completed between June 2010 and 2016 were reviewed. Those obtainable follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scans included in this cross-sectional study. The hospital records reviewed for...
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common complication lacking medical treatment. Lymfactin® an adenovirus type 5-based gene therapy and prolymphangiogenic growth factor vector that induces vascular endothelial C (VEGF-C) expression. Our aim was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Lymfactin ® with vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT). METHODS: This Phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized multicenter study evaluated efficacy safety in combination...
Background: It is controversial whether surgical denervation of the thoracodorsal nerve should be performed in breast reconstruction with a myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap. Denervation may prevent discomforting symptoms caused by muscle contraction, but flap also lose significant volume. The authors prospectively evaluated influence innervation on structure delayed reconstruction. Methods: Between 2007 and 2008, 28 reconstructions were divided randomly into group (surgical excision 1 cm...
: We report microvascular free tissue transfers in pediatric patients a retrospective series.: Forty-six children were treated collaboration between the departments of Pediatric Surgery and Plastic Surgery, Helsinki University Hospital 1986 2004 for flap surgery. Trauma, tumor resection, congenital malformation, meningococcal septicaemia, scars caused defects. The mean follow-up was 50 months.: overall success rate 96%. Twenty-five flaps transferred to lower extremity. most used vascularized...
Background and Aims: Reduction mammaplasty is an increasingly common plastic surgical procedure. In the United States, majority of breast reductions are performed as outpatient surgery. European public health care, have still been rare. Our aim was to retrospectively determine clinical outcome success rate reduction mammaplasty. Material Methods: A total 110 consecutive patients underwent bilateral with a minimum resection 200 g per in unit between 2006 2009. comparison group consisted 28...
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) can be improved by breast reconstruction following mastectomy. The optimal timing the remains unclear.
Fat grafting is commonly used when treating soft-tissue defects. However, much of the basic biology behind fat transfer still uncovered. Adipocytes can be divided into energy storing white and burning brown adipose cells. It now well known, that also adult humans have metabolically active tissue (BAT) within (WAT). Previously our group showed inactive WAT a new environment increased metabolic activity grafts to resemble in recipient site different depots variation activity. This led us...
Immobilization of the rabbit knee in extended position results damage to vastus intermedius profundus (VIP) muscle. To examine mechanisms involved initiation injury, we studied light and electron microscopic morphology VIP muscle, as well activity distribution NADH tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) affected determined serum total creatine kinase (CK) immobilized rabbits. The muscle right hindlimb was removed at various time points (10 h, 24 36 h 48-72 n=5 for each point). nonimmobilized left...
Background and Aims: Reduction mammaplasty is a popular procedure in plastic surgery. Occasionally, occult invasive breast carcinoma or findings demonstrating increased risk of cancer occur reduction specimens. The incidences have been studied elsewhere, but Finland, the data on this subject are lacking. Our aim was to analyze incidence situ benign disease causing We also analyzed preoperative mammograms ultrasound images compared with Material Methods: performed retrospective study 100...
Background: There is little consensus about the relative determinative value of each individual factor in female breast aesthetics. When performing surgery with an aesthetic goal, certain factors will be more important than others. The purpose this study was to make rank list determine contributions overall Method: Volunteers were scanned using 3-dimensional Vectra system. Ten Scandinavian plastic surgeons rated 37 subjects, a validated scoring system 49 items. correlation between specific...
