Direct-to-Implant Retropectoral Dual Plane Approach With Autologous Inferior-Based Dermal Flap: Does SPY-Elite Laser Angiographic System Reduce Complication Rates?

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the complications and long-term outcomes associated with retropectoral DTI breast reconstruction with IDF utilizing the SPY-Elite laser angiographic system.

Material And Method: This retrospective study was conducted from June 2017 to January 2023. We examined 52 patients (85 breasts) treated with a direct-to-implant retropectoral dual plane approach with IDF implant coverage.

Round Autoprosthesis: Use of Adipodermaglandular Flap in T Scar Mastopexy.

Purpose: This study focuses on the use of round or anatomically shaped breast autoprosthesis with different volumes prepared from the central and lower poles of the breast. The technical details and surgical outcomes for patients with varying degrees of breast ptosis are discussed.

Material And Method: This study involved 42 patients who underwent the Wise-pattern superior pedicle mastopexy procedure using the adipodermaglandular island flap technique.

Comparative Analysis of Lower Island Flap Transposition (LIFT) in Wise-Pattern Mastopexy: Does It Improve Upper Pole Fullness and Breast Harmony?

Background: Utilization of autologous parenchymal flaps aims to attain enduringly favourable outcomes and uphold volume in the upper breast pole after mastopexy procedures. The objective of this study was to juxtapose and scrutinize postoperative upper pole fullness, upper/lower pole ratios, occurrences of bottoming-out deformity, and complication rates between two patient cohorts: those who underwent the wise-pattern superior pedicle mastopexy with the LIFT technique and those who underwent the conventional wise-pattern superior pedicle mastopexy.

Materials And Methods: All the patients in this study were appropriately categorized as primary patients, signifying their lack of any prior breast surgery history.

Wise-Pattern Superomedial Dermoglandular Pedicle Technique: Improves Breast Upper Pole Fullness and Breast Proportions.

This study aimed to analyze postoperative upper pole fullness, upper/lower pole ratios, bottoming-out deformity, and complication rates for patients who underwent planned bilateral reduction mammoplasty for gigantomastia using the superomedial dermoglandular pedicle technique and Wise-pattern skin excision. A total of 105 consecutive patients were evaluated postoperatively within a year in full lateral position, and the upper pole was between the lines drawn horizontally from the nipple meridian, where the breast became evident on the chest wall. Flat and slightly convex upper pole slopes were considered well-rounded; the concave ones were evaluated as exhibiting decreased fullness.

The Effect of Locally Delivered Apocynin on Fat Graft Survival in an Experimental Rat Animal Model.

We aimed to investigate the efficacy of locally delivered apocynin on fat graft survival in an experimental autologous fat grafting (AFG) model created in rats. Twenty-one Wistar albino male rats were included in this study. The 0.

Use of honey as an adjunct in the healing of split-thickness skin graft donor site.

Background: Different techniques are being used in treatment of split-thickness skin graft donor sites; however, there is not a widely accepted method established for these partial-thickness wounds. It is well known that honey has been very effective in the treatment of various types of wounds, but there is not any information about the usage of honey as split-thickness skin graft donor site dressing in the literature.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of honey-impregnated gauzes, hydrocolloid dressings, and as a conventional dressing, saline-soaked gauzes for skin graft donor sites.
