A Novel Fat-Augmented Omentum-Based Construct Is a Cost-Effective Alternative for Autologous Breast Reconstruction.
: The omental fat-augmented free flap (O-FAFF) is a novel technique for autologous breast reconstruction in patients who cannot use or who elect not to use more traditional donor sites. While the clinical outcomes of O-FAFF have been well s…

Monitoring free flaps with Cook-Swartz implantable Doppler probe in head-and-neck reconstruction.
Postoperative monitoring of free flaps has traditionally been based on clinical assessment, interpretation of which may be subjective. The Cook-Swartz implantable Doppler probe enables continuous objective real-time monitoring of blood flow…

Omental Fat-Augmented Free Flaps: Applications and Lessons Learned After 100 Breast Reconstructions.
[BACKGROUND] The omental fat-augmented free flap (O-FAFF) has become a versatile option for breast reconstruction, particularly with the added use as a biologic implant and for concurrent management of upper extremity lymphedema. In this st…

Single-Malt Whisky Versus Cocktail? Approaches to Surgical Lymphedema Management.
Lymphedema is a chronic, dynamic, and multifaceted disease that is effectively treated by surgery. However, there is a lack of consensus in the field about the ideal technique; is it better to perform one surgery type at a time (the "single…

Lymphatic Regeneration Visualized on Magnetic Resonance Imaging After Placement of Aligned Nanofibrillar Collagen Scaffolds for Treatment of Lymphedema.
[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Lymphatic regeneration has been shown after placement of aligned nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds (BioBridge) in animal models and humans with multiple imaging modalities including indocyanine green lymphography,…

A Novel Fat-Augmented Omentum-Based Construct for Unilateral and Bilateral Free-Flap Breast Reconstruction in Underweight and Normal Weight Women Receiving Nipple or Skin-Sparing Mastectomies.
[BACKGROUND] Autologous tissue has proven advantages, however it is often not an option for women of low or normal body mass index (BMI). Omentum has been used sparingly, typically as a pedicled flap to correct breast deformities, but is co…

Creating a Biological Breast Implant with an Omental Fat-Augmented Free Flap.
Women with inadequate myocutaneous or fasciocutaneous soft-tissue donor sites for breast reconstruction after mastectomy are mostly limited to implants. Alternative substitutes are needed for those who do not want-or in whom there are contr…

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Use of Botox for Breast Reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Breast reconstruction is most commonly performed using implant-based reconstruction. Patients with subpectoral implant placement with or without latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle coverage can experience muscle pain and animation d…

Combined Liposuction and Physiologic Treatment Achieves Durable Limb Volume Normalization in Class II-III Lymphedema: A Treatment Algorithm to Optimize Outcomes.
[INTRODUCTION] Outcomes of surgical lymphedema treatment are currently suboptimal. Physiologic procedures including lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) reestablish lymphatic flow but cannot correct fib…

Nanofibrillar Collagen Scaffold Enhances Edema Reduction and Formation of New Lymphatic Collectors after Lymphedema Surgery.
[BACKGROUND] Treatment of secondary lymphedema remains challenging, with suboptimal rates of edema reduction following physiologic procedures (i.e., lymphaticovenous anastomosis and vascularized lymph node transfer). The objective of this s…
-
The utility of three-dimensional models in complex microsurgical reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional (3D) model printing improves visualization of anatomical structures in space compared to two-dimensional (2D) data and creates an exact model of the surgical site that can be used for reference during surgery.…

Use of hyaluronic acid filler for enhancement of nipple projection following breast reconstruction: An easy and effective technique.
[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction improves the psychological well-being of patients with breast cancer. Patients who complete nipple-areolar reconstruction are even more satisfied with their final reconstructive result. Nipple flattening i…

Global Health Microsurgery Training With Cell Phones.
[BACKGROUND] Lack of surgical care for trauma, burns, congenital anomalies, and other surgical diseases is a growing portion of global disability and death accounting for 30% of the global disease burden. Global surgical and anesthesia care…

Successful management of persistent lower extremity lymphedema with suction-assisted lipectomy.
[INTRODUCTION] Lower-extremity lymphedema is a significant complication attributed to gynecologic cancer surgery, potentially effectuating severe edema and discernible pain. [CASE REPORT] We report on a patient who developed persistent, lo…

Breast Augmentation and Breast Reconstruction Demonstrate Equivalent Aesthetic Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] There is a perception that cosmetic breast surgery has more favorable aesthetic outcomes than reconstructive breast surgery. We tested this hypothesis by comparing aesthetic outcomes after breast augmentation and reconstruction…

Simultaneous contralateral breast reduction/mastopexy with unilateral breast reconstruction using free abdominal flaps.
[BACKGROUND] Successful breast reconstruction includes the creation of a natural breast mound in addition to achieving maximal symmetry of both breasts. This study investigated the patients' outcome and satisfaction of simultaneous contrala…

Simultaneous scarless contralateral breast augmentation during unilateral breast reconstruction using bilateral differentially split DIEP flaps.
[BACKGROUND] : Simultaneous contralateral augmentation is performed with unilateral breast reconstruction to achieve pleasing and symmetric breast mounds. This prospective study investigated the outcome of simultaneous scarless contralatera…
