Two-Stage Tissue-Expander Breast Reconstruction: A Focus on the Surgical Technique
Objective Breast cancer, the most common malignancy in women, comprises 18% of all female cancers. Mastectomy is an essential intervention to save lives, but it can destroy one's body image, causing both physical and psychological trauma. Reconstruction is an important step in restoring patient quality of life after the mutilating treatment. Material and Methods Tissue expanders and implants ...
متن کاملAbstract: 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 کاملAbstract: Complications Following Two-Stage Expander Implant Breast Reconstruction: A Critical Analysis of Outcomes
patients intuitive advantages of a shortened operative process and quality of life benefits compared with traditional tissue expanders and implants (TE/I); however, the literature suggests that DTI is fraught with complications and revision rates as high as 85% in some reports. We sought to better understand our breast patients by comparing DTI and TE/I, focusing on these two potential downside...
متن کاملDoes partial expander deflation exacerbate the adverse effects of radiotherapy in two-stage breast reconstruction?
BACKGROUND The optimum protocol for expander volume adjustment with respect to the timing and application of radiotherapy remains controversial. METHODS Eighteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups. Metallic port integrated anatomic breast expanders of 250 cc were implanted on the back of each animal and controlled expansion was performed. Group I underwent radiotherapy with fu...
