DIEP flap perfusion assessment using microdialysis versus Doppler ultrasonography: A comparative study.
[BACKGROUND] The increasing number of buried free-tissue transfer procedures and the need for an objective method to evaluate vascular complications of free flaps has led to the development of new technologies. Microdialysis has been used t…

Epidemiology of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in the United States: A Systematic Review.
[BACKGROUND] Although textured implants represent fewer than 10% of implants used in the United States, the country reports the highest incidence of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). [OBJECTIVES] The aim …

Comment on the Invited Discussion on "Assessment of Risk Factors for Rupture in Breast Reconstruction Patients with Macrotextured Breast Implants".
We here present a few comments on the invited discussion of Dr. van Heijningen on the paper "Assessment of Risk Factors for Rupture in Breast Reconstruction Patients with Macrotextured Breast Implants". Dr. van Heijningen made some reservat…

Free-style technique versus computed tomographic angiography-guided perforator selection in deep inferior epigastric perforator flap harvest: A prospective clinical study.
[BACKGROUND] Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is the preferred diagnostic tool in preoperative deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap assessment, though some surgeons prefer approaching perforator selection with intraoperativ…

Mortality Rate in Breast Implant Surgery: Is an Additional Procedure Worthwhile to Mitigate BIA-ALCL Risk?
[BACKGROUND] Because of poor knowledge of risks and benefits, prophylactic explantation of high BIA-ALCL risk breast implant (BI) is not indicated. Several surgical risks have been associated with BI surgery, with mortality being the most f…

History of breast implants: Back to the future.
Modern breast implants are a staple of plastic surgery, finding uses in esthetic and reconstructive procedures. Their history began in the 1960s, with the first generation of smooth devices with thick silicone elastomer, thick silicone gel,…

Total breast reconstruction with the fat-augmented latissimus dorsi (FALD) flap: High safety in a single-center uncontrolled case series.
According to ASPS, 107,238 breast reconstructions (BR) have been performed in the United States this year. The latissimus dorsi (LD) flap is used for breast reconstruction (BR), either with an implant or an extended flap harvest. Implant-en…

Facial Transplantation: Nonimmune-Related Hyperacute Graft Failure-The Role of Perfusion Injury: A Case Report.
[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to report the first case of acute facial allograft transplantation (facial allograft transplantation) failure with allograft removal and autologous free-flap reconstruction. [METHODS] A 49-year-old fe…

A Simple Method for Quantitative Assessment of Suction Drains.
Suction drains are widely used in surgical practice, but a consensus is yet to be found around their use in plastic surgery. Nowadays, patients are frequently discharged from hospitals with drains still in place. Soft drains are easier to m…

Modified Wise-pattern reduction mammaplasty, a new tool for upper quadrantectomies: a preliminary report.
[BACKGROUND] Quadrantectomy is an oncological safe procedure for early breast cancer, but it often results in poor aesthetic results such as breast shape deformity, more visible if the tumor is located in the upper pole. We suggest the use …

Preliminary experience in breast reconstruction with the free vertical deep inferior epigastric perforator flap.
The transverse abdominoplasty flap based on the perforators of the deep inferior epigastric pedicle (DIEP) is not indicated in patients with longitudinal midline abdominal scars because of the poor midline crossover of blood and the high ri…

Computer-assisted evaluation of nipple-areola complex sensibility in macromastia and following superolateral pedicle reduction mammaplasty: a statistical analysis.
[BACKGROUND] The authors performed a prospective study quantifying nipple-areola complex sensibility by computer-assisted neurosensory testing in breast hypertrophy before and after superolateral breast reduction. [METHODS] A superolateral…

Pectus excavatum in adults: destructive surgery or simple correction of an aesthetic defect?
Pectus excavatum, a congenital depressive malformation of the sternum, is described since 1594 by Johannes Schenk and has successively been the subject of many studies because of its various inherent problems. The repercussions on the respi…
