Abstract 14. Should Nerve Coaptation Be Routine? Breast Sensation Following Mastectomy +/- Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHOD: Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2006–2011) was queried to identify bilateral breast reduction cases. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren’s syndrome, Raynaud’s syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, or scleroderma were identified. Demographic factors, comorbidities, and postoperative complications were compared to patients without CTD using student t-test, chi-square, and risk-adjusted multivariate logistic regression.

Abstract 15. Better Living through Chemistry: A Novel Breast Implant Surface Coating Significantly Reduces Peri-Prosthetic Capsule Formation
M oday, M arch 7, 2017 PURPOSE: Restoration of breast sensation following breast reconstruction is an evolving part of the reconstructive paradigm. Although spontaneous recovery of sensation has been reported following mastectomy, surgeons are advocating for innervated reconstructions using neurotization at the time of autologous reconstruction. In an effort to further elucidate the evidence ba...
متن کاملPatient Race and Provider Predict Patient Satisfaction Following Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction
BACKGROUND Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is commonly performed in the United States with numerous options available to patients and providers. This study evaluated patient race and provider in prediction of patient satisfaction following post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. METHODS The patient satisfaction for women who underwent post mastectomy breast reconstruction at U...
متن کاملBreast Reinnervation: DIEP Neurotization Using the Third Anterior Intercostal Nerve
BACKGROUND The purpose of this article is to evaluate a new method of DIEP flap neurotization using a reliably located recipient nerve. We hypothesize that neurotization by this method (with either nerve conduit or direct nerve coaptation) will have a positive effect on sensory recovery. METHODS Fifty-seven deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps were performed on 35 patients. Neurot...
متن کاملSensibility following innervated free TRAM flap for breast reconstruction.
BACKGROUND The free transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap has proven to be a reliable means of recreating the aesthetic breast form after mastectomy. The purpose of this study was to determine whether neurotization of the free TRAM flap improved sensation of the reconstructed breast. METHODS Twenty-seven patients undergoing 37 free TRAM flap reconstructions were randomized ...
متن کاملDelayed active bleeding after radical evacuation of injected polyacrylamide hydrogel and immediate implant based breast reconstruction
BACKGROUND Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was used in breast augmentation surgery in China during 1997-2006. Its application has led to increasing complications such as localized lumps, asymmetry, diffuse stiffness, infections, and localized tenderness or myalgia. Hence, many patients have sought for surgical gel evacuation in the following years. CASE PRESENTATION A 37-year-old G2P0A2 slim (...
