The extended latissimus dorsi flap has been widely used for breast reconstruction. However, seroma at the donor site is a common complication and makes it difficult reconstructive surgeons to choose as primary option. We analyzed association between reconstructions with flaps. A series of 120 consecutive cases were included in this study. average body mass index (BMI) was 22.1 kg/m, mean ratio weight extirpated equivalent 101.6%. age patients 40.3 years. Donor-site reported 69.2% (83 cases)...
Summary: For more precise and rapid notification of free flap status between staff members after surgery, the authors used a smartphone mobile messenger application including multimedia during initial postoperative period analyzed influence this method for re-exploration time survival rate before use. From April 2010 to September 2011, 123 consecutive flaps were reviewed. The increased from 96.2 100 percent threatened salvage 50 with method. interval first compromise start was significantly...
This study aimed to use a superthin, free superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap in functional surgery for treating subungual melanoma and evaluate its outcomes.Forty-one patients with primary of less than or equal 2-mm thickness who were treated prospectively enrolled. After oncologic resection, thin SCIP was harvested along the trans-superficial fat layer transferred defect further thinning by defatting. Complications outcomes investigated. Postoperative status...
Background: Mastectomy flap necrosis is one of the most common and significant complications in immediate expander-based breast reconstruction. Negative-pressure wound therapy widely used for open wounds but not commonly closed incisional wounds. However, postoperative use negative-pressure demonstrated to reduce complication rates. The authors evaluate incidence mastectomy patients with after reconstruction compared conventional dressing. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted...
<h3>Importance</h3> The potential association between breast implant–related anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and implant texture has raised concerns about the additional unexpected adverse effects of textured implants, including potentially outcomes for other cancers. In addition to risk developing BIA-ALCL, cancer survivors may worry whether type inserted is associated with recurrence their original cancer—an issue which little evidence currently exists. <h3>Objective</h3> To...
Background: The preoperative localization of thoracodorsal artery perforators has been a challenge because their topographic variation. Methods: From November 2005 to January 2007, 25 patients underwent free perforator flap transfer for reconstruction the lower extremities (22 flaps) and head neck (three flaps). All multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography mapping. findings were compared with acoustic Doppler flowmetric intraoperative findings. Surgical outcomes those historical...
Background: Computed tomographic angiography is widely used for obtaining vascular information about the abdominal donor site microsurgical breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study to report authors' experience using preoperative computed both and recipient sites a series reconstruction procedures. Methods: A total 71 patients preparing autologous with deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps underwent scanned fields ranging from clavicle pubic symphysis. Preoperative...
The lack of highly specific clinical and histopathological criteria has contributed to the delay in diagnosis subungual melanoma situ its early stages.Eighteen cases situ, largest series reported date, were analyzed characterize findings stages along with five nail matrix nevus lentigo serving as histologic control.Clinically, longitudinal melanonychia was present all 18 consisting irregular dark brown black streaks within a background (11 cases) or without Hutchinson's sign....
Using an internal mammary artery as the recipient vessel in a free flap autologous breast reconstruction is common practice, but this often sacrificed for end-to-end anastomosis and typically assessed by removing costal cartilage segment. The authors studied reliability of end-to-side arterial using rib-sparing approach comparing it with anastomosis.The analyzed 100 consecutive medical records patients who underwent deep inferior epigastric perforator which vessels were technique. study...
Background: The authors evaluated donor-site morbidity following free thoracodorsal artery perforator flap harvest comprehensively and investigated patient-and operation-related factors that might contribute to adverse outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for all cases of reconstruction performed between January 2002 December 2014. Donor-site in three aspects: postoperative complications, scar-related problems, functional impairment. Quick-Disabilities the Arm, Shoulder...
Background: A closed-suction drain is usually inserted during tissue expander–based breast reconstruction. Prolonged duration of retention can disturb patients’ daily lives and affect overall sociomedical costs. This study aimed to investigate factors that may influence the drainage identify predictors unusually prolonged duration. Methods: Patients who underwent delayed-immediate, two-stage reconstruction using a expander between January 2013 July 2017 were reviewed. was defined as for...
Breast cancer gene (BRCA) mutation is a well-known risk factor for breast cancer, and clinical interest in prophylactic mastectomy has increased recent years. We investigated patients who were BRCA carriers underwent contralateral risk-reducing (RRM), focusing on the incidence of occult malignancy after RRM. Prospectively collected data with treated at single institution retrospectively reviewed. Patients RRM between January 2010 November 2023 included this study. Among RRM, those primary...
Degenerative joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, are increasingly prevalent in aging populations, yet current treatments like stem cell injections face limitations targeted delivery and efficacy. In this study, we proposed a biodegradable magnetically actuated microstructure for knee cartilage regeneration. The is composed of calcium-crosslinked alginate hydrogel embedded with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), allowing precise control using an external field generated by electromagnetic...
The anatomical topography of the perforators that pierce latissimus dorsi muscle fascia determines location and direction skin paddle thus ultimate design thoracodorsal artery perforator flap. full scope has not been provided in detail, usefulness from transverse branch elucidated.While harvesting flap, every reliable musculocutaneous derives was documented. number, location, topographic patterns were measured. Twenty-three patients (11 female 12 male), with a mean age 34.2 years, enrolled...
A multifaceted strategy using a composite of anti-cancer nanotherapeutic and natural biomaterials silk fibroin (SF) chitosan (CS) blend scaffolds was investigated for the treatment tissue defect post-tumor resection by providing local release therapeutic filling site with regenerative bioscaffolds. The scaffold-emodin nanoparticle composites were fabricated characterized drug entrapment release, mechanical strength, efficacy against GILM2 breast cancer cells in vitro vivo rat tumor model....
