Abstract A series of 618 patients with neck dissections were performed in 455 consecutively admitted head and carcinomas at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, from 1976 to 1978. Clinical pathologic node factors considered an effort correlate lymph involvement prognosis. Actuarial survival decreased increase size nodes, although no significant difference was found for all categories prognosis poor when nodes > 5 cm and/or hypomobile (33%, 5‐year survival). The presence histologically...
Importance Melanoma guidelines recommend surgical excision with 10-mm margins for T1 melanoma. However, this procedure may be problematic at sites close to critical structures such as the scalp, face, external genitalia, acral, periumbilical, and perineal areas. Objective To compare outcomes of wide (10-mm margins) vs narrow (5-mm in patients T1a melanoma near structures. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study was a retrospective comparison 1341 consecutive aged 18 years or older...
Despite skin-sparing mastectomy techniques have significantly improved reconstructive options and aesthetic outcomes, patients with large ptotic breasts remain a challenging group to treat satisfactorily. The Wise-pattern skin-reducing (SRM) has been designed for this kind of but is not without morbidity. To improve safety, the authors reviewed their experience modified SRM immediate 1-stage implant-based breast reconstruction, using synthetic absorbable mesh combined dermal flap.A...
Several techniques for vaginal reconstruction after pelvic exenteration such as myocutaneous and myoperitoneal flaps are available. However, the use of a myofascial flap has not been previously described. Thus, objective this article is to present our experience with rectus abdominis (RAMF) flap.Between May 2008 March 2017, 16 patients underwent anterior, posterior, or total RAMF reconstruction. Patient records were systematically reviewed; demographic, clinic pathologic, operative details,...
Abstract Introduction Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common and costly complication of surgery. International guidelines recommend topical alcoholic chlorhexidine (CHX) before However, upper limb surgeons continue to use other antiseptics, citing a lack applicable evidence, concerns related open wounds tourniquets. This study aimed evaluate safety effectiveness different antiseptics Methods international multicentre prospective cohort recruited consecutive adults children who...
Prognostic parameters in sentinel node (SN)-positive melanoma are important indicators to identify patients at high risk of recurrence who should be candidates for adjuvant therapy. We aimed evaluate the presence cells beyond SN capsule-extranodal extension (ENE)-as a prognostic factor with positive SNs.Data from 1,047 and SNs treated 2001 2020 Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori Milano, Italy, were retrospectively investigated. Kaplan-Meier survival crude cumulative incidence curves estimated. A...
Background: Implant-based breast reconstruction in the setting of radiotherapy often leads to higher complications rates (mainly capsular contracture and wound dehiscence) poor cosmetic outcomes. We hypothesized that combination pulsed-electron avalanche knife (PEAK) PlasmaBlade (a pulsed radiofrequency electrosurgery) acellular dermal matrix Veritas® postmastectomy implant-based could result lower rate, better reconstructive results, patient satisfaction. Methods: A prospective...
Breast reconstruction has become a standard of care in patients undergoing mastectomy, greatly improving their quality life. An increasing number patients-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) have been developed over the years to better analyze patients' subjective overall experience. BREAST-Q is PROMs for breast surgery introduced our practice assess experiences when implant-based and radiotherapy along with use Peak Plasma Blade acellular dermal matrix.The pre-operative version...
During the last few years it has been shown that an anaplastic T cell lymphoma can develop as a rare and late sequelae of implant-based breast reconstruction. This malignancy was recognized in 2017 by WHO named implant associated large (BIA-ALCL). BIA-ALCL usually presents abundant effusion around implant, thus, addition to cytology smears, its diagnosis also requires immunohistochemistry, cells clonality cytometry. Due increasing attention clinicians, is likely number suspected cases will...
Introduction The synthesis of the periprosthetic capsule during implant-based breast reconstruction is result a coordinate cascade inflammatory events ending in fibrous tissue deposition around expander or implant. Although development small volumes fluid one complications prosthetic-based reconstruction, characterization effusions coupled with micro-textured devices, that have been recently introduced after recall macro-textured ones, still lacking. investigation these and paired capsules...
Surgical resection of soft tissue sarcoma the trunk can result in large defects requiring complex reconstruction for coverage vital neurovascular structures and defect. Large back could be reconstructed with multiple random pattern or local pedicled flaps. We present case a 48-year-old patient locally advanced dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans back. Wide excision lesion was performed. The defect measured 22 cm × 20 4 bilateral reverse latissimus dorsi myocutaneous (RLDM) flap. Each RLDM flap...
