Abstract: Tissue Expander Failure in Breast Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: Nearly 75% of breast reconstruction procedures performed by ASPS members in 2015 involved tissue expanders. Despite the advantages of expander-based reconstruction, complications are common and can require early removal of the tissue expander. Patient preference and oncologic factors may also prompt unanticipated removal of the tissue expander. We present our experience with tissu...
متن کاملTissue Expander versus Tissue Expander and Latissimus Flap in Morbidly Obese Breast Reconstruction Patients
BACKGROUND Immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction in morbidly obese patients represents a challenge because neither prosthetic nor abdominal-based options may be suitable. METHODS This study compared a previously published cohort of immediate prosthetic reconstruction of 346 patients (511 breasts) of whom 49 patients (67 breasts) were morbidly obese (defined as a body mass index > 35)...
متن کاملTissue Expander Capsule for Abdominal Wall in Autologous Breast Reconstruction
SUMMARY Adjuvant treatment planning can change after breast cancer resection and definitive pathological examination. Radiation therapy is often chosen as a supplementary treatment. Rectus abdominis-based muscle flaps are one of the main choices when breast reconstruction plans must be changed from implant-based to autologous methods. We herein report a case in which the patient's own tissue ex...
متن کاملPredictive Factors for Drainage Volume after Expander-based Breast Reconstruction
BACKGROUND Closed suction drains are widely used in breast reconstruction, and the drains are removed based on a volume criterion. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no study analyzing predictive factors for drainage volume after breast reconstruction. METHODS Data of daily drainage in cases with expander-based breast reconstruction between February 2013 and March 2015 (131...
متن کاملAbstract 118: Biosynthetic Mesh Compares Favorably to ADM in Tissue Expander-Based Breast Reconstruction
PURPOSE: Breast reconstruction is uniquely personal with many options available for patients and surgeons to consider. Among the methods of autologous breast reconstruction, abdominal based free flaps (ABFFs) including the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM), deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP), and superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flaps are the most common, with...
