Abstract: Nipple-Areolar Complex Reconstruction: A Compilation of Techniques to Achieve a Natural Result

چکیده
IntroductIon: Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) and lymphovenous bypass (LVB) procedures represent physiologic treatment options for symptomatic lymphedema. Secondary causes related to oncologic surgery and/ or radiation have been successfully treated using these surgical procedures. Primary lymphedema represents a poorly understood lymphedematous condition with equally poor understanding of the benefits of microsurgical intervention. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with this patient population to better understand the effectiveness of microsurgical procedures.

Temporary Areolar Demarcation for Nipple-areola Complex Reconstruction
We have described a surgical method that enhances the visual aesthetic outcome of the areola periphery in nipple-areola complex reconstruction. This technique is performed immediately following closure of the nipple flap. The created areolar outline can aid the tattoo artist and may result in a more natural-appearing areola periphery than tattooing methods alone.
متن کاملReconstruction of Areolar Projection Using a Purse-String Suture Technique
BACKGROUND Nipple-areolar complex creation is the last step in the breast reconstruction process and plays a significant role in patients' overall satisfaction. Although numerous surgical techniques have been described to create the nipple, very few procedures address the natural contour of the areola. METHODS We describe a surgical technique using a purse-string suture for improved areolar p...
متن کاملA new method of salvaging nipple projection after secondary nipple reconstruction using locoregional flap
Sir, The most important features of a natural reconstructed nipple are symmetry and a durable valid vertical projection. A frequent drawback of the methods currently used for nipple reconstruction is the loss of nipple projection in the longer post‐operative term. Although numerous nipple‐areolar complex reconstruction techniques have been described,[1‐3] common among these techniques is a fail...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of Artecoll Injections for the Augmentation of Nipple Projection in Breast Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION Various techniques have been used in an attempt to achieve long-term nipple projection following nipple-areolar reconstruction. A common setback, however, is the diminution of projection overtime; this phenomenon is particularly evident following implant-based breast reconstruction. Artecoll may be suitable for injection into the nipple complex to maintain permanent, 3-dimensional ...
متن کاملManaging Necrosis of the Nipple Areolar Complex Following Reduction Mammaplasty and Mastopexy.
The objectives of this article are to explain the mechanisms of injury that result in ischemia of the nipple areolar complex (NAC) after reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy, to offer recommendations about the management of this complication, and to illustrate reconstructive techniques that can be used to correct deformities arising from necrosis of the NAC. With these goals in mind, the article ...
