[BACKGROUND] This study revisits previously described skin-reducing mastectomy and dermal flap-muscle pocket techniques for immediate breast reconstruction in large, drooping breasts. Compared to techniques previously described in the liter…

Giant ventral hernia represents a surgical challenge, particularly in oncologic patients in remission, due to large fascial defects and loss of domain. Botulinum toxin has been incorporated as an adjuvant to facilitate fascial closure throu…

[BACKGROUND] Advancements in surgical techniques and materials have increased the use of direct-to-implant breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, the optimal implant placement remains debated, with limited prospective studies comp…

Large postoperative ventral hernias present significant challenges for repair, particularly in patients with comorbidities and wide defects. Here, we report the case of a 65-year-old male with a recurrent midline postoperative ventral herni…

Sternal resections, although rare, pose significant challenges for the reconstruction of large anterior chest wall defects. Both stability and soft tissue reconstruction are essential for preventing respiratory complications and ensure stru…

[INTRODUCTION] Loss-of-domain in large incisional hernia needs to be addressed by mesh-augmented repair combined with a combination of component separation techniques: progressive pneumoperitoneum (PPP) and chemical component separation wit…

[BACKGROUND] Loss of domain (LOD) in incisional hernias presents a significant challenge in abdominal wall reconstruction. Preoperative preparation of the abdominal wall is crucial to optimize surgical outcomes and prevent abdominal compart…

[BACKGROUND] Complex abdominal wall reconstruction following multiple surgical interventions remains challenging in resource-limited settings. We report the first successful case of combined post-caesarean and post-laparotomy total abdomina…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) can be performed using a variety of biological and synthetic meshes. However, there has yet to be a consensus on the optimal mesh. This study investigates the safety and patient satisf…

Osteosarcomas of the ribs are rarely reported but have a high potential for pulmonary metastases. The therapeutic strategies for this disease are not well defined. The primary treatment recommendations include wide resection with clear surg…

[BACKGROUND] Closure of large anterior abdominal wall defects, regardless of their etiology, is challenging. There is no standardized information describing definitive management. Therefore, we conducted this study to illustrate our experie…

We present a patient whom we believe developed a late abdominal mesh collection in response to COVID-19 mRNA vaccination booster and COVID-19 infection. A polypropylene mesh was placed during her right breast reconstruction operation 2 year…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominal bulge in the absence of a hernia is a known complication following free abdominal flap breast reconstruction and can be associated with significant aesthetic and functional morbidity. This study aims to review the imp…

[UNLABELLED] Breast reconstruction is rapidly evolving, thanks to the growing acceptance of synthetic meshes as innovative biomaterials. 276 patients undergoing mastectomy (total of 328 mastectomies) were analyzed in a retrospective observa…

Congenital lumbar hernia (LH) is a rare abdominal wall herniation and associated with lumbocostovertebral syndrome, including vertebral anomalies, costal defects and LH. There are reports using extraperitoneal placement of mesh, patches, an…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Describe surgical techniques associated with mastopexy and mastopexy augmentation. 2. Understand the evolution of mastopexy and augmentation mastopexy.…

[BACKGROUND] In the past decade, surgeons have increasingly advocated for a return to prepectoral breast reconstruction with claims that surgical mesh (including acellular dermal matrix) can reduce complication rates. However, numerous surg…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominal wall morbidity after microsurgical breast reconstruction is an important consideration for patients and surgeons. Previous studies are limited by multiple mesh locations or types. In this study, we evaluate specific…

Endometriosis is defined as an ectopic presence of endometrium-like tissue outside uterine cavity, which most commonly involves intraperitoneal organs. However, one of the less frequent forms of the disease is abdominal wall endometriosis u…

The aim of this study was to compare inflammatory response and synovial metaplasia in implant-based immediate breast reconstruction with a biological mesh (Veritas) with that of a synthetic mesh (TIGR Matrix Surgical Mesh). We hypothesize t…
