Introduction: With the impossibility of prosthetic implantation with a definitive final volume due to dehiscence and posterior extrusion risks, the development of skin-sparing mastectomy provides an ideal condition for the use of a definitive expander implant. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the use of a definitive expander implant and discuss its indications, cutaneous incision, and...

Arteriovenous fistula dysfunction is a frequent complication in, and hindrance to, patients with end stage kidney disease undergoing renal replacement therapy with intermittent haemodialysis. We present an unusual complication in a 68-year-old male patient undergoing haemodialysis therapy for end stage kidney failure caused by biopsy-proven multiple myeloma.
