Tumor pathologic features and the extent of nodal involvement dictate whether radiation therapy is given after mastectomy for breast cancer. It generally well accepted that negatively influences outcome implant-based reconstruction. However, long-term effect on reconstruction with free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap still unclear. For patients who need postmastectomy therapy, optimal timing TRAM controversial. This study compares immediate delayed in received therapy....
Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is one option for reducing the risk of a second breast cancer in women with personal and family history cancer. Few data are available regarding satisfaction, psychological, social function after CPM. The purpose this research to evaluate women's long-term satisfaction CPM, factors influencing psychological CPM.This was descriptive study all cancer, known be alive, who elected CPM at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) between 1960 1993 (n = 621)....
Capsular contracture is the most common and frustrating complication in women who have undergone breast implantation. Its cause and, accordingly, treatment prevention remain to be elucidated fully. The aim of this prospective observational pilot study was test hypothesis that presence bacteria on implants associated with capsular contracture. We prospectively studied consecutive patients underwent implant removal for reasons other than overt infection at Mayo Clinic from February through...
The use of postoperative irradiation following oncologic breast surgery is dictated by tumor pathology, margins, and lymph node involvement. Although negatively influences implant reconstruction, it less clear what effect has on autogenous tissue. This study evaluated the transverse rectus abdominis muscle (TRAM) flap reconstruction. A retrospective review was performed all patients undergoing immediate TRAM reconstruction followed between 1988 1998. Forty-one with a median age 48 years...
Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap has become a popular option for breast reconstruction because of reduced donor-site morbidity. As the number perforators per is reduced, vascular compromise may develop. Venous congestion can occur despite patent primary venous anastomosis. Methods: A prospective series 100 consecutive DIEP flaps in were studied problems and outcomes. Results: Ninety-nine successful. No arterial occurred. Overall, occurred 15 flaps. Eleven...
Two-staged implant-based reconstruction (IBR) is the most common breast reconstructive modality. Recently, technological and surgical advances have encouraged surgeons to revisit prepectoral IBR. Data comparing against subpectoral IBR in women under age of 40 are lacking.Retrospective chart review patients years old, who underwent immediate 2-staged at our institution, was performed. Patient's demographics, clinical characteristics, operative details, early outcomes were compared. with...
Background Single-stage direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction can offer several potential benefits. Subpectoral DTI present with animation deformity and pectoralis muscle spasm. To potentially avoid these complications, surgeons have attempted prepectoral placement for DTI; however, the benefits of this approach are mostly unknown. We evaluated outcomes between subpectoral placement. Methods This was a retrospective review patients who underwent immediate (prepectoral vs subpectoral)...
Background Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery is an effective surgical treatment of secondary lymphedema in the extremities, but indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent lymphography, reference standard for imaging target lymphatic vessels, has several limitations. More methods are needed preoperative planning. Purpose To evaluate whether contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) can be used to identify vessels LVA patients with upper extremity and compare results those from ICG lymphography. Materials...
Background: Since 1997, the authors have used a minimally invasive technique for management of gynecomastia using ultrasound-assisted liposuction and arthroscopic shaver to remove breast tissue through remote incision. This has allowed consistent, refined, “unoperated” postoperative appearance in this patient population. study analyzes outcomes procedure compares against established techniques. Methods: A retrospective was performed on all patients who underwent surgery at authors'...
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a progressive, recurrent inflammatory disorder.To assess long-term satisfaction and postoperative perceptions among patients who underwent surgical management of HS.A questionnaire was mailed to 499 HS outcome, satisfaction, quality life.Of the questionnaires mailed, 113 were returned (22.6% response rate) 2 excluded for redundancy. Of 111 respondents, 65 (58.6%) female, 91 (82.0%) had Hurley Stage III disease, 88 (79.3%) treated with excision 23 (20.7%)...
Background: Surgical-site infection after implant-based breast reconstruction adversely affects surgical outcomes and increases health care costs. This 11-year case-control study examines risk factors specific for surgical-site immediate tissue expander/implant-based reconstruction. Methods: The authors performed a retrospective review to identify all consecutive patients with implant infections between 2006 2016. Patients who developed were included. was defined using the Centers Disease...
Background The purpose of this study is to describe our experience and outcomes in oncoplastic pelvic reconstruction for patients who underwent either vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (VRAM) or omental flap following abdominoperineal resection (APR) at a single tertiary care institution. Methods All APR with VRAM flaps from January 1992 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics relevant comorbidities including chemotherapy radiation therapy data collected analyzed....
Abstract Background Altmetrics (alternative metrics) have become one of the most commonly utilized metrics to track impact research articles across electronic and social media platforms. Objectives The goal this study was identify whether Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) is a good proxy for citation counts it can be employed as an accurate measure complement current gold standard. Methods authors conducted analysis all published in 6 plastic surgery journals during 2016 calendar year....
Tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained increasing recognition as a valuable pharmacologic agent within plastic surgery.The aim of this study was to investigate the value and safety profile both intravenous topically administered TXA in setting bilateral reduction mammaplasty.A retrospective review performed identify consecutive patients who underwent mammaplasty for symptomatic macromastia (January 2016-July 2021). Pertinent preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative details were...
Background: Prepectoral implant-based reconstruction reemerged as a viable approach following recent advances in reconstructive techniques and technology. To achieve successful outcomes, careful patient selection is critical. Obesity increases the risk of complications has been suggested relative contraindication for prepectoral breast reconstruction. Methods: Retrospective chart review patients who underwent immediate two-stage at authors’ institution was performed. Only women having body...
