Reduction mammaplasty with superior-lateral dermoglandular pedicle: another alternative.
During a period of 7.5 years, reduction mammaplasty using a superior-lateral dermoglandular pedicle was performed in 213 mammary glands in 112 patients. This procedure is a modification of the original technique by Skoog that takes advantage of its benefits but adds two basic premises: (1) to preserve the integrity of the galactophorous ducts for future nursing and (2) to cause less innervation...

Also identified are the factors that influenced the decision to breast-feed postoperatively. From a patient pool of 544 individuals who elected to have reduction mammaplasty between 1984 and 1994 (age rang...

While partial mastectomy defects (PMDs) may often be cosmetically acceptable, some cases warrant consideration of reconstructive options, and while several reconstructive options have been described in this role, a series of deep inferior epiga...
متن کاملQuantitation of breast sensibility following reduction mammaplasty: a comparison of inferior and medial pedicle techniques.
The preservation of sensitivity within the nipple-areola complex is of paramount importance to patients presenting for reconstructive and aesthetic breast procedures. Previous attempts to measure sensation in the breast before and after surgery have relied primarily on the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test, which is an imprecise study that measures the logarithm of force necessary to bend a se...
