Background: Intraoperative microvascular complications in autologous breast reconstruction significantly increase the risk of postoperative complications. No study has identified which specific intraoperative complications contribute to partial or total flap loss.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of microsurgical breast reconstructions by five surgeons between 2009 and 2020 analyzed operative variables and patient outcomes, with complications determined from the operative report.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review investigates the rare occurrence of extraneural meningioma metastasis, focusing on patient demographics, clinical features, management strategies, and outcomes.
- The study analyzed data from 288 patients, revealing 79% experienced intracranial recurrence and that the average time to first metastasis was about 8 years, with treatment mainly involving surgery, chemotherapy, or no treatment.
- The findings suggest that metastatic meningioma has a relatively better prognosis compared to other brain tumors, especially for patients with WHO grade 1 meningiomas, who had a median survival of 168 months versus 15 months for higher grade tumors.
