Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the patterns of maxillo-facial fractures in Italy across different phases of the pandemic.
- It analyzed data from 2938 patients who underwent surgery for facial fractures during four key periods: pre-pandemic, first wave, partial restrictions, and post-pandemic.
- Significant differences were found in hospitalization causes between pre-pandemic and certain pandemic phases, while demographics like gender and age showed no notable changes over time.
Background: Two-stages pre-pectoral breast reconstruction may confer advantages over direct to implant (DTI) and subpectoral reconstruction in selected patients who have no indication for autologous reconstruction. The primary endpoint of the study was to evaluate and compare the incidence of capsular contracture in the pre-pectoral two-stages technique versus the direct to implant technique. Complications related to the two surgical techniques and patient satisfaction were also evaluated.

Purpose: In this paper, we are showing what, in our experience, are the advantages and disadvantages given using biosynthetic skin substitutes when dealing with this kind of lesions.
Materials And Methods: Patients included in the sample came to our attention with both neoplastic lesions (11 subjects) and important scar retraction after previous oncologic surgery (1 subject).
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.
