Combined chest wall perforator flap and synchronous fat grafting for partial breast reconstruction.

Chest wall perforator flaps (CWPFs) have been a well-recognised surgical option for volume replacement following breast conservation surgery (BCS). However, the flap volume can sometimes be limited, which may adversely affect the aesthetic outcome or even disqualify the patient from having BCS. We report the first case of hybrid partial breast reconstruction using immediate autologous fat injection into CWPF.

Role of Supplemental Breast MRI in Screening Women with Mammographically Dense Breasts: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: High mammographic density increases breast cancer risk and reduces mammographic sensitivity. We reviewed evidence on accuracy of supplemental MRI for women with dense breasts at average or increased risk.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched 1995-2022.

Breast Density Notification: Current UK National Practice.

Increased breast density is a risk factor for breast cancer and can mask cancer on mammography. This survey attempts to understand clinician views regarding breast density notification in the United Kingdom. Two separate breast density surveys were distributed to radiologists and breast surgeons between May 2019 and May 2020.

A systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on complications following immediate breast reconstruction.

Background: The impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) on surgical outcomes following immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) remains unclear. While it is generally considered safe practice to perform an IBR post NACT, reported complication rates in published data are highly variable with the majority of studies including fewer than 50 patients in the NACT and IBR arm. To evaluate this further, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of NACT on autologous and implant based immediate breast reconstructions.
