چکیده
Background: While the number of implant-based immediate breast reconstructions has increased, two-stage still comprise a significant proportion. Some studies have reported chest wall depression (CWD) following tissue expander insertion; however, there been no reports on recoiling removal. Here, we present case CWD resulting from use for reconstruction, with subsequent

Patient preference and oncologic factors may also prompt unanticipated removal of the tissue expander. We present our experience with tissu...

SUMMARY Corrective surgery following breast-conserving surgery is generally challenging due to severe fibrosis induced by postoperative radiotherapy. Although use of the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap offers a safe and reliable option, exposure of the skin paddle to the skin surface is often inevitable to achieve correction of nipple-areola complex malposition, leaving conspicuous, patchwor...
