Various techniques for management of the contralateral breast exist in patients with unilateral cancer, including prophylactic mastectomy immediate reconstruction (PMIBR), and symmetrization augmentation, reduction, or mastopexy. The purpose this prospective cohort study was to evaluate compare complications patient-reported satisfaction PMIBR versus having procedures.
Introduction: Failure of alloplastic breast reconstruction is an uncommon occurrence that may result in abandonment reconstructive efforts or salvage with conversion to autologous reconstruction. The purpose this study was identify factors predict failure and Methods: A retrospective chart review conducted patients who underwent mastectomy immediate between 2008 2019. Inclusion criteria included 18 years older initial a minimum 3-year follow-up. Data collected age, body mass index, cancer...
Background: There is a lack of previous studies investigating oncoplastic practice trends for breast reconstruction in Canada, particularly from the plastic surgeon perspective. Given rising popularity techniques, this study aimed to identify current and surgeons Canada. Methods: A cross-sectional survey performing surgery across Canada was conducted. Results: Ninety-five were invited complete survey, with 58 respondents (response rate 61%), which 29 (50.0%) surgeons. Compared surgeons,...
Functional reconstruction of the upper extremity has traditionally involved tendon transfer or pedicled muscle transfer. The gracilis free functional remains as an excellent option for restoration finger flexion. Here, we provide a case report 35-year-old man diagnosed with left forearm high-grade epithelioid sarcoma who underwent innervated and secondary flap, profunda artery perforator through single donor-site incision to expand soft tissue coverage. Postoperatively, there were no...
BACKGROUND: Lack of prescription adherence after discharge from the inpatient hospital setting is a known barrier to delivery optimal patient care.Non-adherence medication for cardiac diseases can lead substantial morbidity, mortality, and health care costs.Electronic prescriptions by fax has been identified as method improving satisfaction reducing pharmacy wait times among emergency department patients, however its impact patients discharged unclear.METHODS AND RESULTS: The study was...
Summary: Various treatment approaches exist for female-to-male subcutaneous mastectomy, also known as “top surgery.” The most commonly performed techniques patients with decreased volume of breast tissue, no ptosis, and good skin elasticity continue to involve areolar or periareolar incision. Here, we report a case 17-year-old patient who underwent top surgery through power-assisted liposuction non-areolar single-incision “pull-through” technique. Operative management included initial...
