Protection of the Reconstructed Nipple by Using a Breathing Bag Connection Tube
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, local flap coverage methods, including the C-V breast flap compose the majority of nipple reconstruction procedures [1]. As the projection of new nipple from the C-V breast flap is basically subcutaneous fat, the reconstructed nipple tends to be flattened over the long term, especially if submitted to pressure. In addition, necrosis or abrasion may result in flap failure. For this reason, it has been a principle to overcorrect the nipple height and to provide prudent dressings using various protective devices as a physical support against pressure on the reconstructed nipple [1]. The authors propose the use of a breathing bag connecting tube as a protective device in nipple reconstruction.

Background: Cuffed pharyngeal tube is a device designed for ventilation of anesthetized patients. CPT has advantages over face mask including: maintaining of face mask can be difficult and boring after several minutes and mobility of the practitioner is reduced due to involvement of hands. Mask pressure can cause soft tissue and nerve damage around the nose. Anesthetic gas leakage from the mask...
