Stacked PAP Flaps for Two-Stage Immediate Bilateral Breast Reconstruction: A Case Report

implant exposure after immediate reconstruction for breast cancer

background: the technique most frequently employed for breast reconstruction, either immediate (ibr) or delayed (dbr), is the insertion of a prosthesis. the placement of a foreign body always carries the risk, albeit small, of peri-prosthetic infection and exposure of the implant that necessitates its removal, signaling the temporary or permanent failure of the reconstruction. methods: we retro...

One-stage immediate breast reconstruction with implants: a new option for immediate reconstruction.

BACKGROUND The current standard of care for breast implant reconstruction after mastectomy is 2-stage reconstruction with placement of tissue expanders followed by implants. The immediate use of implants at the time of mastectomy, which eliminates the need for a second operative procedure, has been sparsely reported and is not yet accepted as the standard of care. This study describes a 1-stage...

Abstract: Pectoral Sparing Immediate Implant Breast Reconstruction

PURPOSE: Several preoperative and intraoperative risk factors have been implicated in infectious complications of immediate breast reconstruction, however the link between common postoperative sequelae and surgical site infection (SSI) remains largely anecdotal. Published rates of seroma and SSI often trend in parallel, and authors have hypothesized that seroma formation may independently promo...

Autologous flap reconstruction is widely accepted as the gold standard with deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap being favored.1 When there is insufficient abdominal tis...
