چکیده
M oday, M arch 7, 2017 reduction (SPAIR) mammaplasty. This technique utilizes an inferior pedicle, circumvertical skin resection pattern, and purse-string peri-areolar closure to achieve a stable and aesthetic breast shape. Late breast distortion from seroma formation is rare complication than may occur after an initially satisfactory result. Contraction of the seroma cavity may cause the surrounding breast tissues to deform. The purpose of this case series is to describe the treatment of this unique complication after SPAIR mammaplasty.

Subatmospheric pressure dressing as a bridge to free tissue transfer in the treatment of open tibia fractures.
BACKGROUND Free flap reconstruction performed shortly after injury is associated with reduced complications but is not always feasible. Subatmospheric pressure dressings have several beneficial effects on wounds. This study reviewed a large series of open tibia fractures to determine whether subatmospheric pressure dressings affected complication rates. METHODS One hundred five patients under...

VOL. 52 NO. 4 NOVEMBER 2014 SAJS 105 Plastic surgeons are frequently cal led upon to provide definitive softtissue coverage for lower l imb defects associated with compound fractures of the tibia or fibula (Gustillo-Anderson IIIB). Usually defects of the upper and middle thirds of the leg are easily managed with either gastrocnemius myocutaneous flaps or hemi-soleus muscle coverage and skin gra...
متن کاملComparative Perfusion Analysis of Free Muscle-Sparing Versus Pedicle Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous (TRAM) Flaps in Vivo in the Peri-Operative and Late Post-Operative Periods
BACKGROUND Current teaching suggests increased perfusion in free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps over pedicled TRAM flaps, broadening indications for its use in high risk patients. This study compared perfusion analysis of free muscle-sparing versus pedicle TRAM flaps in vivo in the peri-operative and late post-operative periods. METHODS The SPY-Elite system using...
متن کاملPEDICLE MUSCLE FLAPS IN IRRADIATED WOUNDS: DOES PREVIOUS RADIATION OF THE MUSCLE TO BE TRANSPOSED-AFFECT THE OUTCOME? A 9 YEARS EXPERIENCE OVER 206 CONSECUTIVE CASES
Radiation-related wounds challenge surgeons in all disciplines of surgery. Wound-healing complications are commonplace, and solutions for reconstruction are limited. Muscle and musculocutaneous flaps have improved this situation. But the question is, does previous radiation of the muscle to be transposed affect the outcome? 143 consecutive previously irradiated patients treated with muscle...
متن کاملPerforator Relocation in Free Style Local Perforator Flaps
Local perforator flaps have evolved over the time to provide complete and stable coverage of soft tissue defects. Technical advances and experience with the perforator flaps have allowed the harvest of local perforator flaps in a free style manner by offering greater freedom in flap selection. We have proposed a technical modification in the harvest of a perforator flap by relo-cating the perfo...
