Background: The objective of this clinical review is to provide an overview of the use of silicone gel-filled breast implants placed in the sub-muscular position, with a focus on complication rates reported for both smooth and textured implants. Furthermore, our experience in this field is also reviewed.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, the Cochrane Central and Google Scholar databases were reviewed to identify the literature related to smooth breast implants.
Background: Oncoplastic breast surgery originated in order to improve the esthetic result of breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Autologous free dermal fat graft (FDFG) is an emerging oncoplastic technique to improve the cosmetic outcome of breast-conserving surgery.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze our experience with FDFGs in breast reconstruction after breast-conserving surgery.
Background: Quadrantectomy is an oncologically safe procedure for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, but it often results in poor aesthetic outcomes such as breast shape deformity, which is more visible if the tumour is located in the lower pole. We recommend the use of the transverse incision, which retains the oncological advantages of the quadrantectomy while leading to better aesthetical results.
Method: We evaluated the clinical results of 24 patients with breast cancer who underwent quadrantectomy of the lower breast pole and volume replacement with remodelling through three posterior scorings from January 2012 to January 2014, with cosmetic evaluations performed according to the criteria set by the Japanese Breast Cancer Society.
Background And Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the vascular malformations of the head and neck. They are uncommon lesions, but some areas have a significant potential for fatality, due to their massive bleeding. The vascular anatomy of the nose carries a high recurrence rate, due to the unique characteristic of the nose, especially if deep vascular connection is present.

Article Synopsis
- To achieve optimal results in cranioplasty, choosing the right materials, like custom-made porous hydroxyapatite implants, is crucial; these implants promote good biological integration but initially have lower mechanical strength.
- The study aimed to investigate whether the addition of growth-factor-rich platelet gel or a dermal matrix could enhance bone remodeling and soft tissue healing around hydroxyapatite implants in patients who underwent cranioplasty between 2004 and 2010.
- Results showed that applying platelet gel improved dermal regeneration and blood supply, while CT scans confirmed effective integration of the hydroxyapatite implants over a 1-year period, indicating successful outcomes for both bone and tissue healing.
