Reduction Mammoplasty Using the McKissock Technique With a Free Nipple Graft: A Safe Approach.

Mammary hypertrophy, or macromastia, is an increase in breast tissue volume due to multiple etiologies and still unknown pathophysiology. We report the case of a 45-year-old patient with juvenile macromastia, which caused cervical pain and decreased quality of life. It was decided to perform a reduction mammoplasty with a modified McKissock technique with a free nipple graft; the resected glandular tissue was 1039 grams in the right breast and 1029 grams in the left breast.

Latissimus Dorsi Musculocutaneous Flap as a Therapeutic Option in Breast Reconstructive Surgery: A Case Report.

In plastic surgery, the reconstructive ladder is a systematic approach used to guide the planning and execution of reconstructive procedures. The use of autologous tissues is preferred in the breast reconstruction process due to the multiple advantages they offer. The latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap has been the therapeutic option of choice in these cases, replacing other surgical techniques because of the high adaptability and low complication rates.

Acute Abdominal Pain Secondary to Omental Infarction: A Case Report.

Omental infarction is a rare but threatening cause of acute abdomen. The preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its infrequent nature. It poses nonspecific abdominal signs that can be easily mistaken for other more common intra-abdominal pathologies.

Recurrent Achilles Tendon Rupture in Multiple Sites as a Primary Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a 32-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report.

The Achilles tendon is vital for walking and running, but it's also the most frequently ruptured tendon. Ruptures often occur without direct trauma and present with acute posterior ankle/heel pain. Various factors like age, biomechanical properties, degeneration, and mechanical factors influence susceptibility to rupture.

Lipoinjection with Adipose Stem Cells for Nasal Modeling: Rhino Cell, a Highly Versatile Alternative.

It is undeniable that a significant number of patients who want to improve their facial appearance is increasingly interested in nonsurgical procedures. Without a doubt, the use of autologous fat could not be left out as a magnificent alternative for nasal modeling simply because of four influential factors: ease of collection, compatibility, the temporality of the results, and safety. This work describes an innovative alternative technique for nasal modeling using micrografts enriched with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs).
