Abstract: Oncoplastic Volume Replacement Using Local Perforator Flaps

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 days (40–1083). There were a number of surgical indications: malignancy (n=25), risk reduction (n=40), revision (n=32) and delayed reconstruction (n=8). Incision type varied; wise pattern (32), IMF (48) and transverse/vertical (20). Mean mastectomy weight was 473g (73–1679), and median implant volume: 409cc (165–620). Length of stay was 0.96 days.

Usefulness of Oncoplastic Volume Replacement Techniques after Breast Conserving Surgery in Small to Moderate-sized Breasts

BACKGROUND In Korean women, many of whom have small to moderate-sized breasts, it is difficult to cover a partial breast defect using oncoplastic volume displacement techniques after removal of an adequate volume of tissue during oncologic surgery. In such cases, oncoplastic volume replacement techniques are more useful. METHODS From January 2007 to December 2011, 104 women underwent a total ...
