BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The impact of adjuvant therapy on the surgical outcomes following breast reconstruction is poorly understood. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate surgical outcomes following autologous and prosthetic reconstruction in the setting of post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) and adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS A systematic review of the English literat...

BACKGROUND Advanced periodontal destruction is often associated with extraction of the teeth. Oral rehabilitation in these cases may include the traditional prosthetic restoration or an implant-supported reconstruction. Immediately loaded implants present an alternative treatment modality using a bar in the anterior mandible, along with the placement of higher numbers of implants, which are con...

Here, we present a case report on prosthetic reconstruction of posterior teeth and composite resin restoration of anterior teeth yielding considerable esthetic improvement, reestablishment of disocclusion guides and function.

Prosthetic implants are frequently used for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Unfortunately, long-term aesthetic results of prosthetic breast restoration may be hindered by complications such as rippling, capsular contracture, and implant malposition. The advent of use of acellular dermal matrices has greatly improved the outcomes of prosthetic breast reconstru...

background: the technique most frequently employed for breast reconstruction, either immediate (ibr) or delayed (dbr), is the insertion of a prosthesis. the placement of a foreign body always carries the risk, albeit small, of peri-prosthetic infection and exposure of the implant that necessitates its removal, signaling the temporary or permanent failure of the reconstruction. methods: we retro...

Proximal tibia resection with endoprosthetic reconstruction is a complex limb sparing procedure for tumors of the proximal tibia. Recent advances in implants and surgical techniques have made this option preferable to amputation for many patients. Long-term survival and recurrence rates are similar between limb salvage and limb ablation in the proximal tibia. Appropriate indications for limb sa...
