AI Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopically Harvested Pedicled Omental Flap (LHPOF) is becoming a popular method for breast reconstruction due to its minimally invasive nature, leading to less pain and scarring post-surgery.
- A study analyzed imaging results from eight patients who had LHPOF for breast reconstruction, showing changes like fat replacing glandular tissue and the presence of internal vessels; one case of cancer recurrence was found.
- The findings highlight the importance of monitoring imaging results for patients with omental flap reconstruction to catch potential recurrences effectively.
Article Abstract
Background: Laparoscopically Harvested Pedicled Omental Flap [LHPOF] has become a viable option for breast reconstruction due to advancements in minimally invasive techniques, offering benefits like reduced postoperative pain and minimal scarring.
Case Presentation: This study examines the imaging findings in eight patients who underwent breast reconstruction using a LHPOF. Imaging modalities, including mammography, ultrasonography, MRI, and CT, consistently showed reconstructed breasts with fat replacing glandular tissue and numerous internal vessels. One case of recurrence was detected, demonstrating the efficacy of conventional surveillance imaging studies in facilitating the detection of recurrences.
Conclusion: This is the first report detailing imaging findings of breast reconstruction using an LHPOF, including a recurrence case. Understanding these imaging results is crucial for effective surveillance in breast cancer patients with omental flap reconstruction.

Outcomes in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction Utilizing Biosynthetic Mesh: A Meta-Analysis.
Aesthet Surg J
January 2025
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
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.

Background: Although there is evidence that indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) can predict mastectomy skin flap necrosis during breast reconstruction, consensus on optimal protocol is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate various technical factors which can influence ICG fluorescence intensity and thus interpretation of angiograms.
Method: Single institution retrospective study (2015-2021) of immediate implant-based breast reconstructions postmastectomy using a standardized technique of ICGA, controlling for modifiable factors of ambient lighting, camera distance and ICG dose.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed neoplasm and one of the most widespread cancers among women. The research advanced the Mf-EIT hardware through analogue discovery, component assessment, hardware integration, software creation, and data reconstruction utilizing Gauss-Newton and GREIT approaches. The breast cancer phantom consisted of a gelatin and sodium chloride solution.

The use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has increased in recent years. We herein report a case wherein suspected intramammary lymph node (IM) recurrence of breast cancer was treated using the thoracic approach (VATS). A 53-year-old woman had undergone right total mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and implant-based reconstruction for right breast cancer 19 years ago.
