چکیده
RESULTS: Reconstruction was achieved without any failure or NAC losses in all 40/40 breasts, 20 bilateral targeted two stage risk reducing mastopexy/reduction and NSM/ SIR procedures. Patients median BMI was 30(22–44). Six patients were smokers and one had hypertension. Anatomical shaped silicone implants were used in all cases, average size 555 cc, (310 to 690). Average OR time for NSM/ SIR was 125 minutes (90 to 235). The median time between procedures was 133days (105–266). Two patients had a reoperation due to hematoma and fat necrosis. Five patients had minor complications. The median follow-up is currently 220 days (30 to 602).

Abstract: Assessing Clinical Risk Factors for Early (30 Day) and Late (1 year) Re-admission following Immediate Breast Reconstruction
INTRODUCTION: Manufacturers’ claims that internal (ferromagnetic) port-containing breast tissue expanders (FPCBTE) are contraindicated in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surprisingly lack direct experimental basis, and may unwittingly negatively impact patient care. This study sought to define surgeons’ opinions on the compatibility of MRI and FPCBTE, determine if they can be safely combined, ...
متن کاملAbstract: Effect of MRI on Breast Tissue Expanders and Recommendations for Safe Use
INTRODUCTION Ferromagnetic port-containing breast tissue expanders are currently labeled MRI-unsafe because of the presumption that magnets should not enter the machine. However, designating these devices as MRI-unsafe can lead to unnecessary procedures or suboptimal imaging choices. This study provides an ex vivo analysis of how breast tissue expanders behave when subjected to strong magnetic ...
متن کاملReconstructive Surgery of Extensive Face and Neck Burn Scars Using Tissue Expanders
BACKGROUND Neck reconstruction is considered as one of the most important surgeries in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The present study aimed to assess the results of reconstructive surgery of extensive face and neck burning scars using tissue expanders. METHODS This descriptive prospective study was conducted on 36 patients with extensive burning scars on the neck and face. Operatio...
متن کاملAbstract: Analysis of Proinflammatory Markers in Lipofilled Breast Microenvironment in a Murine Model
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that there may be a benefit to filling tissue expanders with saline or, to a lesser extent, air prior to undergoing MRI. Furthermore, less than 1 kg is required to prevent rotation of the tissue expander, indicating that prone positioning may be useful in preventing palpable movement of the device. Thus, MRI can reasonably be considered in patients with breast t...
متن کاملOutcome of different timings of radiotherapy in implant-based breast reconstructions.
BACKGROUND The therapeutic role of postmastectomy radiation therapy has been demonstrated both in locally advanced breast cancer and in other high-risk conditions. Implant-based breast reconstruction for irradiated patients can generate higher complication rates. In this study, the authors observed the effects of radiation on temporary expanders and permanent implants. The estimate of the total...
