[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction after mastectomy represents an improvement in the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Radiotherapy is also suggested for many of them to prevent local relapse. However, irradiation increases the ris…

Traditional breast conservation therapy consists of lumpectomy and whole-breast irradiation. Local recurrence after breast conservation is usually managed with salvage mastectomy. Skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate autologous tissue reco…

Breast reconstruction is evolving towards immediate reconstruction (IBR). Adjuvant radiotherapy remains an esthetical contraindication to classical techniques due to complication rate (capsular contracture, flap necrosis and contracture). T…

Women treated for Hodgkin's disease with mantle irradiation have an increased risk for developing breast cancer. Typically, breast malignancy in Hodgkin's patients presents bilaterally in a younger age group. Skin flap ischemia, poor skin e…

Fifty-four patients were studied a mean of five years after their breasts had been reconstructed between 1984 and 1990 using the lateral thoracodorsal (LTD) flap in combination with either a thin shell, non-low-bleed (n = 35) or a thick she…

There are many methods for breast reconstruction. Using implants can achieve good results without conspicuous scarring, but this method has disadvantages, such as infection, exposure, and capsular contracture. The rectus abdominis musculocu…

A follow up study that compared the results from two plastic surgical centres comprised 95 patients after breast reconstruction with the lateral thoracodorsal (LTD) flap combined with either a smooth or textured saline-filled implant. It wa…

[AIMS] This study evaluates the incidence of local complications after immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) following mastectomy with a subpectorally placed silicone prosthesis, with emphasis on the effect of radiation treatment on IBR. […

In France, immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) for infiltrating carcinoma remains controversial. Many teams advocate the possible event of a post mastectomy radiotherapy and its negative effect on IBR. In our Institute we do not exclude i…

Despite the advent of free tissue transfer, breast reconstruction by tissue expansion is an important technique in the armamentarium of the reconstructive breast surgeon. The concept is deceptively simple and yet in reality can produce diff…

The lateral thoracodorsal flap is a local fasciocutaneous flap used for breast reconstruction. From 1986 to 1994 the authors used this flap in 157 breast reconstructions in 152 patients. The patients who had been treated with postmastectomy…

We report the technical aspects of immediate breast reconstruction of the first 100 consecutive patients done at the Karolinska Hospital. Two patients had bilateral cancer. Preoperative chemotherapy had been given to five patients and posto…

[UNLABELLED] Modified radical mastectomy remains the standard for treatment of breast cancer. Women faced with the diagnosis of breast cancer often find it difficult to cope with the arousing emotions. Fear of death or cancer recurrence and…

The authors consider 12 cases of breast-reconstruction after mastectomy, made with the Holmstrom's flap, to verify the validity and the real utility of this way of reconstruction. It has been made a follow-up of 4 years, to verify, in cours…

The immediate breast reconstruction with a definitive prosthesis (IBRDP) is the most useful technique in our experience. We proposed a technique to allow the use of IBRDP also in cases of mastectomy with large skin excision and also to perm…

The use of breast implants in irradiated patients is controversial. Recently, 39 irradiated implants were compared with 338 nonirradiated implants in 297 patients between January of 1975 and October of 1994 at The University of Texas M. D. …

[BACKGROUND] Concerns regarding the safety of silicone gel breast implants have motivated many patients with complications from their silicone breast implants to search for alternatives for breast reconstruction. Although autogenous tissue …

[BACKGROUND] More than 50% of breast cancer care in the United States occurs in women over age 65 years. This study investigates age-related differences in breast reconstruction practices after mastectomy for breast cancer. [METHODS] Retro…

The transverse rectus abdominus musculocutaneous flap, or TRAM flap, has revolutionized the plastic and reconstructive surgeon's approach to breast reconstruction. Since its first clinical description by Hartrampf, Schellan, and Black in 19…

One-hundred and sixty-three consecutive latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap breast reconstructions performed after modified radical mastectomy between 1982 and 1991 were reviewed. Patients were followed for an average of 4.7 years after reco…
