چکیده
RESULTS: Ten patients with lymphedema of the arm were enrolled for volume measurement. Arm volumes ranged from 1517 to 4050 cc. The Vectra 3D provided precise volume measurements (average standard deviation +/0.8%). Measurements of the forearm and upper arm correlated with circumference measurements (R = 0.991) and were in good agreement, with the mean difference between measurement techniques being 2.8 ± 2.0%. Three dimensional measurements of hand, forearm, and upper arm also correlated with water measurements (R = 0.994) and had a mean difference between measurement techniques of 2.2 ± 1.8%.

متن کاملThe Efficacy of Simultaneous Breast Reconstruction and Contralateral Balancing Procedures in Reducing the Need for Second Stage Operations
BACKGROUND Patients having unilateral breast reconstruction often require a second stage procedure on the contralateral breast to improve symmetry. In order to provide immediate symmetry and minimize the frequency and extent of secondary procedures, we began performing simultaneous contralateral balancing operations at the time of initial reconstruction. This study examines the indications, saf...
