[BACKGROUND] Abdominal free flap harvest for breast reconstruction may result in significant morbidity in terms of hernias and bulges. Reinforcement of the donor site with mesh has been recommended to minimize the risk of hernias and bulges…

[BACKGROUND] Our study compares the cosmetic effects, postoperative complications, and quality of life of immediate breast reconstruction with simple prosthesis or prosthesis plus titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TCPM) after total mastec…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction is rapidly evolving, because of the changing face of cancer surgery and the growing acceptance of acellular dermal matrices and synthetic meshes. Although some early reports showed encouraging results afte…

[BACKGROUND] Abdominoplasty is the most frequently performed surgical procedure for body contour; in our experience, we have observed some patients with prominent bulging that is difficult to treat and that presents results that are unsatis…

[BACKGROUND] Although demand for prophylactic mastectomy is increasing over time among women at a high risk for breast cancer, there is a paucity of studies on long term patient-reported outcomes after this procedure. [METHODS] Between Jan…

The authors document their experience in the use of synthetic 100% bioresorbable surgical mesh (TIGR Matrix, Novus Scientific, Uppsala, Sweden) in breast reconstruction as well as in breast aesthetic surgery. They performed a retrospective …

[BACKGROUND] Facial rejuvenation can be achieved using a variety of techniques. Since minimally invasive procedures for face lifting have become popular because of their convenience and short operating time, numerous minimally invasive surg…

[BACKGROUND] Successful restoration of structure and function using autologous free fat grafts has remained elusive. Review of literature shows that various harvesting and preparation techniques have been suggested. The goal of these techni…

[INTRODUCTION] Excision of large dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in the anterior aspect of the trunk often results in large surgical defects that frequently dictate the need for microsurgical reconstruction. However, this option is not alwa…

[INTRODUCTION] A technique of reconstructing the inguinal ligament using a pedicled fascia lata flap is described. [PRESENTATION OF CASE] A 62-year-old man was referred with massive bilateral abdominal wall hernias, following numerous atte…

[OBJECTIVE] To investigate the feasibility and clinical benefits of umbilical hernia repair in conjunction with abdominoplasty. [METHODS] The incision was designed in accord with abdominoplasty. The skin and subcutaneous tissue was dissect…

Mastopexy is a challenging procedure that relies on the redistribution of breast parenchyma and tightening of the skin envelope to provide long-lasting correction of ptosis. Recurrent ptosis, however, is an inevitable complication of many t…

Endometrioma formation is an uncommon complication of caesarean sections. Frequently the diagnosis is delayed, due to a failure to include it in the differential diagnosis for an abdominal wall mass. The case of a thirty-six year-old female…

[INTRODUCTION] Parastomal hernia occurs in 35%-50% of patients who have had a stoma formed, whether for the digestive tract or the urinary tract. There are many repair techniques including primary repair and repair using different types of …

A 79-year-old woman presented with a huge, asymptomatic, balloon-like abdomen, which gradually developed after polypropylene mesh repair of an incisional hernia following a median laparotomy. Additional CT showed a huge cyst measuring 20 x …

[OBJECTIVE] To study the polypropylene mesh acted for the moulding and support. [METHODS] Four mini-pigs were used in this experimental research. A polypropylene mesh was implanted under the skin on one side of each pig. An expander was th…

The aponeurotic layer is a very important element to consider during abdominoplasty. For most patients, a simple midline plication is enough to obtain good results. However, for in patients with severe aponeurotic laxity, some other maneuve…

The authors describe an original technique of abdominoplasty aiming at correcting ventral muscles, hypotonia, and relaxation, especially in formerly obese patients, pluriparae women, and patients with neuromuscular impairment. The technique…

We have evaluated the role of stapled Prolene mesh for reinforcement of the midline abdominal wall plication in patients with advanced musculoaponeurotic laxity. Twenty-one multiparous women underwent a standard abdominoplasty with wide lon…

The value of synthetic mesh use in the treatment of recurrent abdominal hernias is well recognized and has led to its advocacy by some authors as an adjunct in primary hernia repair. Mesh use in the donor-site closure associated with TRAM f…
