Benefits of Endoscopic Vein Harvesting in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Background: Earlier reports concerning endoscopic vein harvesting have been controversial regarding the patency of the vein graft after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In addition, data on the quality of life are lacking. In this study, we investigated our experience with endoscopic vein harvesting with regard to these end points.

Breast-sharing Technique in a Unilateral Mastectomy Patient.

Breast reconstruction patients frequently desire consecutive or simultaneous contralateral breast reduction. When combining the requirements of both autologous breast reconstruction with symmetrizing breast reduction, a 2-staged contralateral pedicled breast sharing is a dignified alternative.
