Abstract: Tissue Expander Failure in Breast Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: Nearly 75% of breast reconstruction procedures performed by ASPS members in 2015 involved tissue expanders. Despite the advantages of expander-based reconstruction, complications are common and can require early removal of the tissue expander. Patient preference and oncologic factors may also prompt unanticipated removal of the tissue expander. We present our experience with tissu...
متن کاملTissue Expander versus Tissue Expander and Latissimus Flap in Morbidly Obese Breast Reconstruction Patients
BACKGROUND Immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction in morbidly obese patients represents a challenge because neither prosthetic nor abdominal-based options may be suitable. METHODS This study compared a previously published cohort of immediate prosthetic reconstruction of 346 patients (511 breasts) of whom 49 patients (67 breasts) were morbidly obese (defined as a body mass index > 35)...
متن کاملEsthetic Outcomes of ADM-Assisted Expander-Implant Breast Reconstruction
OBJECTIVE Adjunct acellular dermal matrices (ADM) are thought to improve esthetic outcomes of breast reconstruction but the existing evidence is largely anecdotal. In this study, we provide comparative data on esthetic outcomes of expander-implant breast reconstruction with and without ADM. METHODS Chart review was performed on a consecutive series of expander-implant reconstructions by the s...
متن کاملTissue Expander Capsule for Abdominal Wall in Autologous Breast Reconstruction
SUMMARY Adjuvant treatment planning can change after breast cancer resection and definitive pathological examination. Radiation therapy is often chosen as a supplementary treatment. Rectus abdominis-based muscle flaps are one of the main choices when breast reconstruction plans must be changed from implant-based to autologous methods. We herein report a case in which the patient's own tissue ex...
متن کاملThree-dimensional imaging provides valuable clinical data to aid in unilateral tissue expander-implant breast reconstruction.
The current approach to breast reconstruction remains largely subjective and is based on physical examination and visual-estimates of breast size. Thus, the overall success of breast reconstruction is limited by the inability of plastic surgeons to objectively assess breast volume and shape, which may result in suboptimal outcomes. A potential solution to this obstacle may be three-dimensional ...
