Analyzing mastectomy and reconstruction weight in immediate autologous breast reconstruction: A preliminary study.
[BACKGROUND] This study aims to explore the ideal breast size by assessing the relationship between mastectomy to free flap weight ratio and complications as well as patient-reported outcomes in autologous breast reconstruction (ABR). [MET…

Comparisons of Impact of Vein Grafting with Different Indications on Outcomes of Reconstruction with Free Flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Prior studies have shown an increased risk of complications and flap loss with the use of vein grafts in microsurgery. We hypothesize that indication for use of a vein graft can affect flap complications and loss rates. [METH…

The contribution of microvascular free flaps and pedicled flaps to successful chest wall surgery.
[OBJECTIVE] Pedicled flaps (PFs) have historically served as the preferred option for reconstruction of large chest wall defects. More recently, the indications for microvascular-free flaps (MVFFs) have increased, particularly for defects i…

Management of postoperative microvascular compromise and ischemia reperfusion injury in breast reconstruction using autologous tissue transfer: Retrospective review of 2103 flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Although rates of microvascular thrombosis following free-flap breast reconstruction are low, debate persists about the optimal methods to restore blood flow and prevent ensuing flap shrinkage or fibrosis. Here we evaluate our …
