متن کاملARTOURATM Breast Tissue Expanders and MemoryShape® Breast Implants: Expanding Your Reconstruction Toolbox
There was a time when breast reconstruction patients were content with simply having a breast mound or looking good in clothes; that time has passed. Many of today’s patients expect to look just as good or better than they did pre-mastectomy.

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...
متن کاملTabbed Tissue Expanders Improve Breast Symmetry Scores in Breast Reconstruction
BACKGROUND Achieving symmetry is a key goal in breast reconstruction. Anatomically shaped tabbed expanders are a new tool in the armamentarium of the breast reconstruction surgeon. Suture tabs allow for full control over the expander position and thus inframammary fold position, and, in theory, tabbed expanders mitigate many factors responsible for poor symmetry. The impact of a tabbed expander...
