Introduction Up to one-fifth of breast cancer survivors will develop chronic cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). To date, complex physical decongestion therapy (CDT) is the gold standard treatment. However, it mainly symptomatic and often ineffective in preventing BCRL progression. Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) vascularised lymph node transfer (VLNT) are microsurgical techniques that aim restore lymphatic drainage. This international randomised trial aims evaluate advantages interventions...
Abstract Purpose Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) entails the autologous relocation of nodes to a lymphedematous region body, whereas lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) creates direct bypass between lymphatic and venous system. Both techniques are meant lastingly bolster local drainage capacity. This study compared safety effectiveness VLNT LVA in patients with chronic breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL). Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted using data from our encrypted...
Postoperative complications after breast cancer surgery may be associated with decreased quality of life. It remains unclear whether oncoplastic breast-conserving or mastectomy reconstruction lead to more postoperative than conventional (CBS). As delayed wound healing (DWH) is one the most frequent minor complications, we sought investigate significance DWH for patient-reported outcomes oncoplastic, reconstructive, and CBS.Our study a retrospective cohort consecutive patients stage I-II who...
Abstract Purpose We investigated whether a one-stage combination of vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) with water jet-assisted liposuction (WAL) can be safely performed and results in improved patient outcomes such as greater reduction arm volume when treating chronic breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we included all patients from our encrypted database treated for BCRL VLNT or + WAL who had minimum follow-up two years. analyzed...
Microsurgical abdominally-based reconstruction is considered the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction. Despite refined surgical procedures, donor-site complications still occur, reducing patient satisfaction and quality of life. Recent work has outlined potential morphometric measurements risk assessment for postoperative hernia development. With rising demand personalised treatment, goal this study was to investigate their any donor site complication. In retrospective cohort...

Abstract Purpose Microsurgical reconstruction, including vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) and lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA), have emerged as promising treatment options for chronic breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Despite their clinical relevance, the precise timelines patient improvement following these interventions remain rather unexplored. Therefore, goal of this study was to compare long-term outcomes patterns over time VLNT versus LVA lay open potential differences...
Abstract Background In toddlers with esotropia, early alignment of the visual axes either extraocular muscle surgery (EOMS) or botulinum toxin injections (BTIs) into both medial rectus muscles may result in improved depth perception. We compared outcome BTIs EOMS order to gain further insight advantages and disadvantages method. Patients Methods this retrospective study, our encrypted database was searched for esotropia aged 35 months younger at time initial treatment who had a follow-up...
Abstract Purpose: We investigated whether a one-stage combination of vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) with water jet-assisted liposuction (WAL) can be safely performed and results in improved patient outcomes when treating chronic breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included all patients from our encrypted database treated for BCRL VLNT or VLNT+WAL who had minimum follow-up two years. analyzed patient-specific variables including...
