Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

conclusions patients receiving a cpvb in addition to tpvb after ldf reconstruction experienced similar pain to those receiving tpvb alone. a larger, randomized clinical trial is warranted to fully determine the benefits of using cpvb in addition to tpvb for this procedure. results a total of 22 patients were included in this study (11-cpvb and 11-tpvb). the mean nrs pain score of cpvb patients ...

abstract background: the transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (tram) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. however, transfer of tram flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. a successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative planning...

 ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap.

background: breast cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor in women worldwide. in recent years, defined reconstruction principles along with numerous surgical techniques with volume replacement have been published. autologous breast reconstruction is more natural but leaves donor site morbidity. it provides the opportunity to restore the breast mound without the need for scars. this study a...

BACKGROUND Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is an integral part of breast cancer treatment that positively impacts quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Although breast reconstruction rates have increased over time, African American women remain less likely to receive breast reconstruction compared to Caucasian women. National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers...

BACKGROUND Immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy and delayed breast reconstruction with post-supplementary treatment are the two types of breast reconstruction currently performed when treating breast cancer. Post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) not only reduces local recurrence but also improves overall survival. However, the complications and survival rates associated with PMRT...

BACKGROUND The need to restore both the missing breast volume and breast surface area makes achieving excellent aesthetic outcomes in delayed breast reconstruction especially challenging. Autologous breast reconstruction can be used to achieve both goals. The aim of this study was to identify surgical maneuvers that can optimize aesthetic outcomes in delayed breast reconstruction. METHODS Thi...

background : since the introduction of silicone based medical devices in to clinical practice, several reports appeared in the medical literature regarding their adverse effects. however, there are few reports of immunologic reactions to these implants. case presentation : a case of systemic reaction to a breast implant inserted for immediate breast reconstruction in a breast cancer patient is ...
