Improving Outcome in Immediate Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction, an Algorithm for Operative Decision Making

Abstract: Post-Operative Pain Control Following Alloplastic Breast Reconstruction with Muscle Relaxer: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Pre-operative thrombotic complications of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer: Implications for immediate breast reconstruction

UNLABELLED Thrombotic complications arising during the treatment of breast cancer can impact the breast reconstruction pathway. We set out to review the details of cases of thromboembolism occurring during neoadjuvant chemotherapy and peri-operatively to study the impact of the event and its management on subsequent breast reconstruction. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical record...

Using complications associated with postmastectomy radiation and immediate breast reconstruction to improve surgical decision making.

OBJECTIVES To identify factors independently associated with surgical complications in oncologic and reconstructive surgery and to examine sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy data, along with variables that are typically known prior to definitive resection, for their ability to impact the prediction of need for postmastectomy irradiation (PMRT). DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University ...

Abstract: Adipofascial Flap Versus ADM: An Intraoperative Selection Algorithm for Implant Coverage in Immediate Breast Reconstruction

PurPoSe: Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has gained popularity to enhance lower pole coverage in immediate implant or expander reconstruction. Advantages of ADM include improved rapid reconstruction, postoperative expander filling and lower capsular contracture. Potential trade-offs include higher seroma, infection and cost. Alternatives for implant coverage include local fascial flaps and inferi...

Analytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration

In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...
