Background One of the main causes breast reconstruction failure is mastectomy flap necrosis. It widely acknowledged that vascularity exhibits a direct correlation with its residual thickness. Previous studies demonstrated possibility to measure preoperatively thickness subcutaneous tissue; however, risk skin necrosis has not been proved yet. This study aims evaluate predictive ability mammography in identifying patients at ischemic complications flaps. Methods A retrospective analysis all...
Full-thickness defects of the lower lip pose a considerable challenge for reconstructive surgeons. The primary objective should be restoration oral sphincter competence, achieving both functionally and aesthetically favorable outcomes. For involving more than one-third lip, multiple locoregional flaps have been described as optimal solution due to their color texture match. Unfortunately, complications such reduction buccal circumference or microstomia reported, impacting patients’ quality...
Summary: The best breast reconstruction solution after mastectomy remains a topic of wide debate. Recently, the focus in field implant-based has been on increasing indications for prepectoral reconstruction. This offers undoubted advantages over subpectoral reconstruction, ranging from better aesthetic results and patient comfort to less invasive procedure that spares pectoralis major muscle, reducing pain postoperative recovery time. dermal sling is reconstructive variant introduced by...
