Endoscopic mastectomy followed by immediate breast reconstruction with fat grafting for breast cancer.

Background: Although endoscopic mastectomy has been associated with good tolerance and enhanced patient satisfaction, limitations such as the implant or flap size for reconstruction with small incisions remain unresolved. Fat grafting (FG) can expand tissue volume with pinhole skin incisions. Herein, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of endoscopic mastectomy followed by immediate FG.

Comparison of postoperative recurrence rates between percutaneous and transconjunctival approaches for involutional entropion.

Lower eyelid entropion is the second most common disease seen after ptosis in oculoplastic outpatients. In this study, we performed percutaneous and transconjunctival shortening of the anterior and posterior layers of the lower eyelid retractor (LER) to treat lower eyelid involutional entropion. This study aimed to examine the recurrence rate and complications of the percutaneous and transconjunctival approaches.

Lateral Thoracic Vessel as a Recipient Vessel in Immediate Breast Reconstruction after Nipple/Skin-Sparing Mastectomy: Experience with 270 Flaps.

Background: The selection of recipient vessels for free-flap breast reconstruction is important for the success of the surgery and the aesthetics of the breast mound. The thoracodorsal artery and vein (TDA/V) allow reconstruction without noticeable scars from the anterior view, but TDA/V exposure is an invasive and time-consuming process on sentinel node biopsy. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the lateral thoracic artery and vein (LTA/V) as recipient vessels by comparing them with the TDA/V.

Stacked deep inferior epigastric perforator with sequential lumbar artery perforator flaps for bilateral breast reconstruction: A case report.

Breast size that can be reconstructed with a single flap is limited in thin patients who need bilateral autologous large-volume breast reconstruction. We present the case of a 39-year-old female with bilateral heterogeneous breast cancer. The patient underwent total mastectomy and radiation therapy on the left side and nipple sparing mastectomy on the right.
