Tissue 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 کاملBreast Reconstruction following Breast-conserving Surgery with a Subcutaneous Tissue Expander and Latissimus Dorsi Flap
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...
متن کاملThe beginning of a new era in tissue expansion: self-filling osmotic tissue expander--four-year clinical experience.
The osmotic tissue expander is a new device made of a hydrogel expanding skin that does not require external fillings. Once implanted, it absorbs body fluids, which leads to a gradual swelling of the device. The swelling phase is completed in 6 to 8 weeks and results in skin gain. Different shapes and sizes are available, and the devices can be used in almost every area of the body. Over a 4-ye...
متن کاملImmediate breast reconstruction with expander assisted latissimus dorsi flap after skin sparing mastectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) used to be the standard practice for breast reconstruction; however, with the increased use of tissue expanders and the development of the transverse rectus-abdominis myocutaneous flap for autologous tissue breast reconstruction, its use has decreased. To reassess the role of the LDMF in breast reconstruction, a prospective st...
متن کاملExpander/Implant Breast Reconstruction after Reconstruction Using an Extended Cutaneous Thoracoabdominal Flap: A Case Report
Many flaps have been described and are being used in the reconstruction of extensive tissue defects in the thoracic wall. The extended cutaneous thoracoabdominal flap, described in 2006, is an excellent option for chest wall reconstruction in patients with advanced breast cancer, being associated with a low morbidity rate and good functional results. The main disadvantage of this technique is t...
