[INTRODUCTION] Bacterial colonization of breast implants can lead to infections and capsular contracture, making contamination prevention essential. While conventional UVC254 light is germicidal, it poses risks to human skin and eyes. In co…

[BACKGROUND] Necrosis of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) is a rare but devastating complication after reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy. Various approaches for improving compromised perfusion of the NAC have been described. However, detai…

A forgotten surgical sponge following surgery, also called textiloma, is a rare yet significant issue, whereas fat necrosis is more prevalent, particularly in breast surgery. We present a case experiencing persistent postoperative pain, a l…

[BACKGROUND] The deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) perforator flap is an established method to reconstruct osteocutaneous defects. However, the cutaneous perforators come with a great anatomic variability. To deal with this problem, we us…

[BACKGROUND] With the increasing demand for autologous breast reconstruction, different surgical techniques have emerged to provide patients with the best possible result tailored to their individual needs. The upper thigh provides an alter…

Autologous postmastectomy breast reconstruction is associated with favourable long-term clinical outcomes and superior patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) compared with implant-based reconstruction. However, adjuvant radiotherapy has traditio…

Abdominoplasty is a commonly performed procedure for patients after significant weight loss and in postpregnancy women. Stable weight and completed family planning are critical for optimal outcomes, as pregnancy postabdominoplasty can incre…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation is currently the leading aesthetic surgical procedure worldwide. Thus, there is a high prevalence of women with breast implants demanding serious know-how and expertise concerning long-term complication mana…

The incidence of reduction mammoplasty has been steadily increasing over recent decades. Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a common yet preventable complication across surgical disciplines. Studies across various surgical specialtie…

[BACKGROUND] Hormone therapy with selective estrogen modulators (tamoxifen) and aromatase inhibitors is commonly used in the treatment of breast cancer. While the increased risk for thromboembolic events has been known since their early app…

The DIEP flap is currently considered the gold standard for autologous reconstructive breast surgery. Postoperative flap failure due to microvascular postanastomotic thrombotic occlusion is a rare but severe complication. Alteplase, a throm…

[BACKGROUND] Happy 30th birthday to the transverse myocutaneous gracilis (TMG) flap. Since 1991 the TMG flap has been used to reconstruct a wide variety of defects and became a workhorse flap and reliable alternative to the deep inferior ep…

[OBJECTIVES] Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been demonstrated as a feasible noninvasive method to improve wound healing. This effect was demonstrated to result from increased perfusion and angiogenesis due to systemic growth fa…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominoplasty is a common procedure in postbariatric surgery. Over the years, a high number of technical refinements of the procedure have been established to improve safety and reduce associated complications. Nevertheless, t…

[INTRODUCTION] Thighplasty is a common bodycontouring procedure, but also associated with a high complication rate. The purpose of this study was to access the outcome of the medial horizontal thigh lift as it is a common surgical technique…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] Skin changes are among the most visible signs of aging. Fractional ablative lasers improve skin quality by making small skin wounds that heal rapidly without scarring. While they improve skin texture and discolora…
