The progresses in surgical field are amazing regarding the possibilities of soft tissue reconstruction. Techniques of breast reconstruction have been evolved since the last 40 years. There was a trend from pedicled flaps toward microsurgical free flaps. In the English literature have been reported several types of free flaps for BR. Although DIEP is the workhorse for the reconstruction, there are patients that do not have enough abdominal tissue to use. In those cases, other donor area such as buttock, thigh, lumbar area has been reported. The present article describes the choices for BR with non-abdominal autologous tissue.

Technical Pearls for Breast Reconstruction in Low BMI Asian Women With the Profunda Artery Perforator Flap.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is currently the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. In cases where the DIEP is contraindicated, the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap is now the preferred second-line option in our institution. The PAP flap poses unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon, especially in Asian women with low body mass index (BMI).

Breast Surgery Section, Division of GI and Oncologic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is infrequently performed in older women, at least in part owing to concerns regarding age-related complications. We describe postoperative outcomes of NSM in older women and risk factors for complications, with the goal of informing patient selection and decision-making.
Patients And Methods: Cases of NSM with immediate implant-based reconstruction were identified from an institutional database (2009-2019).
Use of the Da Vinci SP surgical system in robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy: a single-center, retrospective study.

Division of Breast Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Asan Medical Center, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-Gu, Seoul, 05505, Republic of Korea.
We investigated the safety and performance of the Da Vinci SP single-port robot (SP robot) in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate reconstruction. Medical records of 60 women aged ≥ 19 years who had undergone SP robot-assisted unilateral or bilateral NSM with immediate reconstruction between October 2020 and August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Stage I (31, 47.

Asia Ocean J Nucl Med Biol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Shimane University, Izumo, Japan.
Objectives: We investigated image quality and standardized uptake values (SUVs) for different lesion sizes using clinical data generated by F-FDG-prone breast silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)-based positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
Methods: We evaluated the effect of point-spread function (PSF) modeling and Gaussian filtering (Gau) and determined the optimal reconstruction conditions. We compared the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast, %coefficient of variation (%CV), SUV, and Likert scale score between ordered-subset expectation maximization (OSEM) time-of-flight (TOF) and OSEM+TOF+PSF in phantom and clinical studies.
Time to reconsider the use of synthetic mesh in immediate prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction: Impact of their use on short-term outcomes.
Eur J Surg Oncol

Department of Surgical Oncology, Université de Caen Normandie, François Baclesse Centre, 3 avenue Général Harris, 14000, Caen, France. Electronic address:
Background: Breast reconstruction practices, predominantly implant-based, have evolved, with meshes aiding in overcoming traditional limitations. However, data comparing mesh-assisted prepectoral reconstruction with implants alone are lacking. This study aimed to assess whether synthetic meshes in prepectoral reconstruction impact postoperative complications.
