Post-operative implant infection is generally rare after breast augmentation, but it can occur in up to 35% of cases in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Standard treatment consists in the administration of antibiotics, implant removal…

[BACKGROUND] We present our experience in using a disposable wound retractor commonly used in abdominal surgery named Alexis(®) (Applied Medical Resources Corporation, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, USA), during breast augmentation in order to…

[PURPOSE] Factors such as body masses and humour are known to influence human posture. Abdominoplasty, which causes a sudden change in body masses, significantly improves body image and self-esteem. The aim of this study was to assess postu…

Abdominal wall weaknesses present several causative factors, both local and systemic and, as a consequence, abdominal hernias may develop in more than one site. Also, simultaneous hernia repair has been rarely reported in published reports.…

[BACKGROUND] Small-volume breast asymmetry is a challenging problem. In 2008, an intra-operative volume-adjustable breast implant, consisting of a round textured implant with an outer chamber filled with cohesive silicone gel and inner cham…

[BACKGROUND] The use of mammary implants may lead to a variety of early and delayed complications. The most common delayed complications are capsular contracture and implant failure. Late seroma has seldom been reported. In a long-term pros…

[BACKGROUND] Implant breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, and fungal infection still is considered exceptional. This report presents a case of bilateral breast implant infection by multidrug-resis…

[BACKGROUND] A number of factors, including body mass and one's mood, may influence posture. Breast augmentation results not only in a significant improvement in body image-related feelings and self-esteem but also in a sudden change in bod…

Capsular contracture is a distressing complication after breast augmentation for both the patient and surgeon. Although capsular contracture is a multifactorial process, one common denominator in the successful treatment of this complicatio…

[BACKGROUND] Numerous factors such as the equilibrium of body masses and psychological status influence human posture. Breast reduction, on the one hand, produces a sudden change in this equilibrium, and on the other hand, it can modify the…

The use of tissue expanders and implants is the simplest option for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. In the 1980s, Hilton Becker introduced a round, inflatable breast implant that could be used as a permanent implant. Since then,…

[BACKGROUND] Primary incisional hernia repair is rarely successful, with recurrence rates ranging from 18% to 62%. We describe the integration of "components separation" herniorrhaphy with panniculectomy. [METHODS] Twenty-two patients were…

[BACKGROUND] Umbilical repositioning is a main step in performing abdominoplasty. The surgical aims are minimal visible scars and a natural-appearing result. Reported techniques do not completely satisfy the aesthetic targets for all types …

Desmoid tumor of the breast is a rare fibroblastic disease, a slow-growing and histologically benign lesion that accounts for 0.2% of all breast tumors. It can arise either primarily from the breast parenchyma or, by secondary invasion, fro…

Unusual and probably underestimated complications following breast reconstruction with a latissimus dorsi (LD) flap and sub-pectoral implant are the LD muscle twitching and the breast contour deformities from pectoralis major (PM) muscle co…

The most common complication in patients who underwent mammary implant surgery is capsular contracture. Actually, there is no standard effective treatment for this complication. The aim of this article is to show our experience about LTRAs …

A parotid fistula is a rare, extremely unpleasant disease. Patients with chronic pathologies of the facial soft tissues have a high complication rate after aggressive treatments. Alternative conservative treatments have recently been report…

Capsular contracture is a highly distressing, difficult complication after breast augmentation for both the patient and the surgeon. Although capsular contracture is a multifactorial process, one common denominator in the successful treatme…

Capsular contracture is the most troublesome and distressing complication after breast augmentation for both the surgeon and patient. The etiology of capsular contracture remains unclear. Clinical treatment for this complication is based on…

Capsular contracture after breast augmentation is a distressing, troublesome event both for the patient and the surgeon. Fibrosis transforms the prosthesis into a hardened sphere, turning the initially satisfactory cosmetic result into a de…

Capsular contracture is the most unpredictable complication after mammary augmentation. It presents an uncertain evolution, and is one of the most difficulty complications to treat. Evaluation of this condition usually was relegated to the …

Based on the assumption that the umbilicus is a wound that has healed by second intention, we describe a method of reconstruction. The procedure consists of complete resection of the umbilical scar and its reconstruction by a linear incisio…
