AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objectives: Breast reconstructive surgery is often performed following breast cancer treatment to restore the natural appearance of the breast. Despite various research performed in this field, there is a discrepancy between the research question that is considered crucial jointly by patients, carers and healthcare professionals and the research performed. The Breast Reconstruction Priority Setting Partnership was formed to determine the top research priorities in all aspects of breast reconstructive surgery.
Methods: The Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) was conducted in line with James Lind Alliance (JLA) principles involving patients and clinicians. An online survey was conducted to gather uncertainties related to breast reconstruction by involving patients, carers and clinicians. Following this, a modified Delphi consensus process was performed to identify the top 10 research priorities.
Result: A total of 239 unique research uncertainties were identified via the online survey, which involved 100 participants. A review of literature established that 58 of these uncertainties did not have a high-quality systematic review, prompting the need for more in-depth research. A further 28 research uncertainties were obtained by performing a literature search. Of the final 86 unique questions, the Delphi panel achieved consensus on the top ten research priorities. Recommendations to address these research priorities have been put forward based on current evidence.
Conclusion: This study involved patients, carers and healthcare professionals to establish the top 10 priority areas for research in breast reconstructive surgery. Recommendations have been put forward on the necessary future research that is required to address these uncertainties.

Deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap reconstruction is a common technique for breast reconstruction surgery in cancer patients. Preoperative planning typically depends on radiological reports and 2D images to help surgeons locate abdominal perforator vessels before surgery. Here, BREAST+, an augmented reality interface for the HoloLens 2, designed to facilitate accurate marking of perforator locations on the patients' skin and to seamlessly access relevant clinical data in the operating room is proposed.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Service, Department of Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA.
Background: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the Transparency in Coverage Rule in 2022, which requires payers to disclose commercial rates for the first time in the history of the US healthcare system. The purpose of this study was to characterize payer-disclosed commercial facility rates and examine the relationship with county-level social disadvantage for common breast surgical procedures.
Materials And Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 2023 pricing data for 14 ablative and reconstructive breast procedures from Turquoise Health.

Effective repair of large bone defects through bone tissue engineering (BTE) remains an unmet clinical challenge. Successful BTE requires optimal and synergistic interactions among biocompatible scaffolds, osteogenic factors, and osteoprogenitors to form a highly vascularized microenvironment for bone regeneration and osseointegration. We sought to develop a highly effective BTE system by using 3D printed citrate-based mPOC/hydroxyapatite (HA) composites laden with BMP9-stimulated human urine stem cells (USCs).

Background: Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery may be a better option than mastectomy, but high-quality comparative evidence is lacking. The aim of the ANTHEM study (ISRCTN18238549) was to explore clinical and patient-reported outcomes in a multicentre cohort of women offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy with or without immediate breast reconstruction.
Methods: Women with invasive/pre-invasive breast cancer who were offered oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery with volume replacement or displacement techniques to avoid mastectomy were recruited prospectively.
Benefit of the Omental Flap in Breast Reconstruction for Oncoplastic Treatment: A Systematic Review and Single-Arm Meta-Analysis.

Department of Plastic Surgery, China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun City, 130033, Jilin Province, China.
Background: Oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer patients poses the challenge of achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes without increasing the risk of complications. Omental flap has emerged as n reconstructive option in breast surgery, yet the efficacy and safety of large omental flaps remain uncertain. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and cosmetic outcomes of large omental flap breast reconstruction, providing updated evidence for clinical practice.
