The lower transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap may give excellent results in breast reconstruction using autogenous tissues alone, however, surgical technique is demanding, and the risk of necrosis owing to vascular failure is high. We observed excellent vascularity of the flap in all 20 cases operated upon so far; in all these cases skin island was surgically delayed for one week before final transfer.

Breast cancer is the one of the most common cancers and causes a significant disease burden. Currently, postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is indicated for breast cancer patients with higher risk of recurrence, such as those with positive surgical margins or high-risk breast cancer (T3 with positive lymph nodes, ≥4 positive lymph nodes or T4 disease). Whether PMRT should be used in intermediate-risk breast cancer (T3 with no positive lymph nodes or T1-2 with 1-3 positive lymph nodes) is contentious.

Biosynthetic mesh has become more popular for immediate breast cancer implant-based reconstruction as an alternative to acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for soft tissue support. This meta-analysis investigates the various biosynthetic options available as well as complications and outcomes. PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase were systematically reviewed for studies investigating the following types of mesh, TIGR, Vicryl, PDO, TiLOOP, Durasorb, and Galaflex, and their associated outcomes.

Capsular contracture (CC) is a concerning issue for individuals undergoing postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) with implant-based breast reconstruction. This study investigated whether the extent of CC and implant migration differs based on implant placement and the reconstruction stage. Insertion plane and stage of breast implants were investigated, and the presence and severe cases of CC and implant migration were analyzed.
