Abstract Background The use of conservative mastectomies has risen significantly during the last few years. reconstructive choice direct-to-implant reconstruction become more practicable with modern mastectomy techniques. initial trend in Italian centers was to dual-plane hybrid reconstruction. However, a high level complications been registered. From 2015 onward, our centers, pre-pectoral approach adopted. authors sought describe gradually discard sub-pectoral technique lower lateral pole...
Several studies have proven prophylactic lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) performed after lymphadenectomy can potentially reduce the risk of cancer-related lymphedema (CRL) without compromising oncological treatment. We present a systematic review current evidence on primary prevention CRL using preventive lymphatic surgery (PLS).
Abstract Background Multiple surgical alternatives are available to treat breast cancer‐related lymphedema (BCRL) providing a variable spectrum of outcomes. This study aimed present the multidisciplinary approach (B‐LYMA) systematically BCRL. Methods Seventy‐eight patients presenting with BCRL between 2017 and 2021 were included. The average age BMI 49.4 ± 7.8 years 28.1 3.5 kg/m 2 , respectively. Forty had ISL stage II (51.3%) 38 III (48.7%). mean follow‐up was 26.4 months. Treatment...
Background: Implant-based reconstruction is the most performed breast reconstruction, and both subpectoral prepectoral approaches can lead to excellent results. Choosing best procedure requires a thorough understanding of every single technique, proper patient selection critical achieve surgical success, in particular when dealing with reconstruction. Methods: Between January 2014 December 2018, patients undergoing mastectomy eligible for immediate tissue expander or definitive implant, were...
Background and Objectives: Conservative treatment represents an essential pillar of lymphedema management, along with debulking physiologic surgeries. Despite the consistent number options, there is currently no agreement on their indications possible combinations. When dealing unusual presentation as in genitalia (Genital Lymphedema-GL), choice becomes even more difficult. The authors aimed to present targeted algorithm single combined modalities for rare GL order face this paucity...
ABSTRACT Facial lymphedema (FL) is a potential complication following head‐and‐neck tumor (HNT) therapy. Conservative management often difficult, and there limited literature on surgical treatments for FL. This report presents three cases of FL treated with lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA). All patients were male ISL stage 2 treatment oral squamous cell carcinoma, aged 59, 45, 55 years. In each case, double end‐to‐end LVAs performed in the preauricular region (right side 1 3, left case...
ABSTRACT Deep sternal wound infection ( DSWI ) represents a dangerous complication that can follow open‐heart surgery with median sternotomy access. Muscle flaps, such as monolateral pectoralis major muscle flap MPMF ), represent the main choices for coverage and control. Negative pressure incision management system has proven to be able reduce incidence of these wounds' complications. Prevena™ one systems we aimed evaluate its benefits. A total 78 patients risk factors presented...
Radial forearm flap (RFF) is one of the most used flaps in reconstructive surgery. Despite its versatility and effectiveness, donor site affected by aesthetic functional issues. In group techniques described to improve morbidity, dermal substitutes offer a valid approach wound management. A bilayered bioresorbable substitute (Hyalomatrix) was provide primary coverage RFF harvest followed after 3 weeks split-thickness skin graft placement. this study, 37 patients underwent reconstruction...
The profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap has been reported in several types of reconstructions. This report aims to evaluate the usefulness and clinical outcome patients who underwent PAP free for lower limb reconstruction.Between February 2018 2020, nine with injury at third leg, foot dorsum or plant (eight acute injuries one chronic ulcer) were selected. Mean wound size was 12.5 × 6.3 cm (9 5-14.5 6.5). Inclusion criteria consisted patient's request hide donor site scar absence previous...
Abstract Introduction Breast cancer‐related lymphedema (BCRL) is a chronic disease that occurs up to 65% of breast cancer survivors. Traditional treatment conservative, but new surgeries as lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) are at disposal. This study aims investigate the orthotopic VLNT efficacy in BCRL. Results terms limbs' reduction rates quality life improvement compared with outcomes reported Literature. Patients Methods During patients'...
Abstract Background The vascular pedicle of a free flap is the most critical structure that determines its viability. Most times it covered with local skin flaps raised from recipient site or part itself. However, there are conditions in which can be graft. purpose present study to describe our experience use split-thickness grafts (STSG) as an auxiliary procedure for coverage. Methods All patients who underwent microvascular fasciocutaneous reconstruction at Department Plastic Surgery China...
In alloplastic breast reconstruction, the choice of implant positioning and selection periprosthetic devices is a critical challenging decision. Surgeons must navigate between various biologic synthetic meshes, including acellular dermal matrices (ADM). This study aimed to propose simple tool for in prepectoral reconstruction.
