متن کاملAbstract: Tissue Expander Failure in Breast Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: Nearly 75% of breast reconstruction procedures performed by ASPS members in 2015 involved tissue expanders. Despite the advantages of expander-based reconstruction, complications are common and can require early removal of the tissue expander. Patient preference and oncologic factors may also prompt unanticipated removal of the tissue expander. We present our experience with tissu...

متن کاملSalvaging the Infected Breast Tissue Expander: A Standardized Multidisciplinary Approach
BACKGROUND Infections of breast tissue expander (TE) are complex, often requiring TE removal and hospitalization, which can delay further adjuvant therapy and add to the overall costs of breast reconstruction. Therefore, to reduce the rate of TE removal, hospitalization, and costs, we created a standardized same-day multidisciplinary outpatient quality improvement protocol for diagnosing and tr...
