Autologous Latissimus Dorsi Breast Reconstruction Flap Salvage: Microvascular Anastomosis with Serratus Branch
Autologous breast reconstruction has become a standard option during the recovery of breast cancer survivors. Although pedicle damage is a rare complication of this procedure, extensive torsion or tension can lead to partial or total flap failure. We report a case of partial flap salvage after accidental transection of the pedicled blood supply within the intramuscular course of a latissimus do...
متن کاملImplant augmentation after perforator flap breast reconstruction.
We congratulate Figus and colleagues on their series of 14 patients with DIEP flap breast reconstruction who underwent immediate (14 implants) or delayed (four implants) augmentation. We concur that implant augmentation offers an effective option for optimising the results of autologous tissue breast reconstruction but have independently taken a different approach. We would like to share our re...
متن کاملPerforator flap breast reconstruction after unsatisfactory implant reconstruction.
In 2009, 86,424 breast reconstructions were performed in the United States, with 76% being implant-based procedures. Capsular contracture and infection are the 2 most cited indications for implant explantation, resulting in a reconstruction failure. However, several patients are dissatisfied with implant reconstruction even without the aforementioned complications. We hypothesize that microvasc...
متن کاملSalvage of Exposed Breast Implant Using Capsular Flaps
OBJECTIVE Extrusion represents potential complications associated with the use of breast implants. Attempts to salvage the exposed implants are rarely successful when poor tissue coverage or radiotherpy is present and therefore removal of implant and wound healing are mandatory. In these refractory complicated cases the use of capsular flaps can represent a useful tool to save the implant and a...
متن کاملComplex posterior thoracic wall reconstruction using a crossover combined latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior free flap.
Radical resection of an extended malignant sarcoma of the chest wall requires full-thickness thoracic chest wall reconstruction. Reconstruction is tedious in the case of posteriorly located tumours, because the ipsilateral pedicled myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap is involved and hence not usable for soft tissue coverage. We report an original case of a left giant dorsal chondrosarcoma origin...
