The methods for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in breast cancer have been variable type and number of tracers. Some units abandoned the use blue dye (BD) due to adverse reactions. Fluorescence-guided with indocyanine green (ICG) is a relatively novel technique. This study compared clinical efficacy costs between dual tracer ICG radioisotope (ICG-RI) "gold standard" BD (BD-RI).Single-surgeon 150 prospective patients early undergoing SLN (2021-2022) using ICG-RI retrospective cohort...
Although there is evidence that indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) can predict mastectomy skin flap necrosis during breast reconstruction, consensus on optimal protocol lacking. This study aimed to evaluate various technical factors which influence ICG fluorescence intensity and thus interpretation of angiograms.
Wire localisation (WL) is the "gold standard" technique for wide local excision (WLE) of non-palpable breast lesions but has disadvantages that have led to development wireless techniques. This study compared cost-effectiveness radar (RL) WL.
Wire-guided localization has been the mainstay of techniques for non-palpable breast and axillary lesions prior to excision. Evidence is still growing relatively newer technologies. This study evaluated efficacy wireless technology, SCOUT®, both surgery.
Ionizing radiation therapy is a common adjuvant for individuals undergoing surgery breast cancer. There are many well-recognized acute and chronic cutaneous reactions that can vary in severity, course duration. We present rare manifestation of systemic mastocystosis, 59-year-old female who underwent radiotherapy following local excision ductal carcinoma situ.
Abstract Background Perfusion mapping with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in breast reconstruction can change intraoperative plans and reduce the risk of flap necrosis. We evaluated utility ICGA decision to delay postmastectomy its predictive power for Methods Single-institution retrospective study implant-based reconstructions following mastectomy using from 2015 2021. A was made proceed immediate or based on clinical assessment perfusion analysis. Incidence complications delayed...
Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) aims to reduce ischaemic complications by supplementing intraoperative perfusion assessment of mastectomy flaps. Learning curves for this technology have not been analysed. We evaluated changes in patient outcomes with increasing case volume after ICGA adoption postmastectomy reconstruction.Single-institution retrospective analysis 320 implant-based reconstructions following using from 2015, when it was introduced, 2021. Cases chronologically divided into...
Background and purpose: Gold standard sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping for breast cancer involves technetium-99m (99mTc) but has drawbacks. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence allows real-time visualisation of lymphatics nodes, routine use is not established. This study compares equivalency ICG to 99mTc. Methods: Prospective non-inferiority trial early patients undergoing SLN biopsy with 99mTc (2021-2023). Number SLNs identified, including metastatic rate failed mapping, were compared....
Boerhaave's syndrome is characterised by a transmural tear of the oesophagus, usually secondary to an increase in oesophageal pressure such as vomiting.[1][1] Although rare, this condition carries mortality rates 90% if left untreated and up 40% even with surgical intervention. Therefore
