BACKGROUND Natrelle 410 implants (Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) are approved in the United States for breast augmentation, reconstruction, and revision. OBJECTIVES To assess the risk of nipple and skin sensation changes and lactation issues in subjects receiving implants for primary breast augmentation and ascertain whether differences based on incision site exist. METHODS We used 410 Continu...

In digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), oblique x-ray incidence shifts the image of an object in sub-pixel detector element increments with each projection angle. Our previous work has shown that DBT is capable of superresolution as a result of this property. Although super-resolution is achievable over a broad range of positions for frequencies parallel to the chest wall side of the breast supp...

As nipple-sparing mastectomy gains increasing popularity, minimizing the risk of nipple necrosis continues to be of critical importance to patients and surgeons. Patients with large or ptotic breasts, scars from previous cosmetic and/or oncologic breast surgery, or previous irradiation have often been denied nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) because of increased risk of nipple necrosis. A variety...

Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a benign tumor primarily caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) type-6 or type-11, lesions of which are most frequently found on the genital and perianal squamous mucosa skin. CA outside genitals not common. The woman underwent successful surgical excision reconstruction for breast nipple condyloma. Breast condyloma pose management dilemma. It possible ...

Introduction. Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (GM) is described as a very rare, non-lactating, chronic that occurs primarily in women of childbearing age. Significant clinical problem related to GM the diagnostic differentiation from breast cancer. Less advanced forms can be successfully treated with limited surgical excisions and radical treatment recommended only for most extensive forms. C...

INTRODUCTION To know the feasibility and outcome of the Santosh PGI pouch as a new innovative technique of continent cutaneous diversion (CCD) following cystectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve patients (eleven with carcinoma of the bladder and one with an exstrophy of the bladder) underwent CCD using the Santosh PGI pouch after cystectomy. A 50-cm segment of terminal ileum was isolated 15-20 ...

Posters (MRI). The transplanted cells were retrieved three months later. Histological assessment and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels of reconstructed tissue were assessed. The experimental animal protocols were approved by the Animal Welfare and Animal Care Committee of the National Institute of Biomedi-cal Innovation (Osaka, Japan) (approval ID: DS25-32). Results: Remarkable formation change wa...

CONCLUSION: This is the largest series of patients undergoing NAC reconstruction in the current literature that we are aware of. We use a variety of techniques that may lead to a natural outcome and a greater satisfaction rate following NAC reconstruction. Our approach includes performing NAC reconstruction with local anesthetic in an office-based setting with immediate post-flap tattooing. A p...
