Breast reconstruction through exclusive lipomodeling or in addition to a flap: Current status in Franche-Comté.

Introduction: Breast reconstruction after cancer surgery through lipomodeling can be performed alone or in combination with a flap. Our objective is to describe the proportion of techniques used on patients who underwent autologous reconstructive surgery after tumorectomy or mastectomy in Franche-Comté.

Materials And Methods: A bicentric retrospective observational study was conducted between October 2017 and December 2021 (NCT06101732), including three groups: those who underwent exclusive lipomodeling reconstruction after mastectomy (1) or in addition to a flap (2), and those who underwent exclusive lipomodeling reconstruction after tumorectomy (3).

[RECOMA study: Evaluation of quality of life and satisfaction after immediate or delayed breast reconstruction].

Objective: Breast reconstruction after mastectomy, whether immediate or delayed, is an integral part of the overall management of breast cancer. However, up to 40 % of reconstructed patients are not satisfied with the aesthetic result. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate satisfaction and quality of life according to the reconstruction techniques used in our center.

Interest of acellular dermal matrices in immediate breast reconstruction: Comparison of quality of life and complications with and without matrix.

Introduction: Since 2001, acellular dermal matrices have been increasingly used in immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) because they allow for the placement of the ideal-sized definitive implant in one step. They are used in both retropectoral and prepectoral prosthetic breast reconstructions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of dermal matrices on the quality of life and on complications.

[Comparison between different anchors for zone I flexor tendon repair].

Introduction: Transosseous reinsertion has been used to complement the Bunnell pull-out technique in the repair of zone I deep flexor tendon injuries. The aim of this study is to compare the different devices on the market in terms of complication, functional recovery and ease of use.

Material And Method: This is a single-center study including all patients who underwent transosseous anchor reinsertion from 2010 to 2021 with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up.

Hand and wrist Osteo-articular bone defect: induced membrane technique indications.

Bone defect in the hand and wrist is the result of 3 main causes: traumatic, infectious or tumoral. Whatever the cause and possibility of emergency management, the site (hand or wrist) and anatomical location (articular or diaphyseal) guide the choice of surgical technique and timing. Functional sequelae do not vary, and the ultimate objective is not so much to fill a defect but to give a useful and accepted finger, hand or wrist.
