Severe gynecomastia with excessive skin is difficult to treat by only periareolar excision or suction-assisted lipectomy or both. In these patients, total mastectomy and free nipple grafting may be the best option. Placement of the nipple, however, has been arbitrary. With use of 20 "aesthetically perfect" men as models, standard nipple distances were identified. The average sternal notch-to-nipple measurement was 21 cm. In addition, two consistent ratios were identified. The nipple plane was located 0.33 times the distance from the sternal notch to the pubis, and the internipple distance was 0.23 times the chest circumference. With use of preoperatively obtained measurements of the sternal notch to pubis and chest circumference, accurate nipple placement can be accomplished.

The Evolution of Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Innovations, Trends, and Future Directions.

Implant-based breast reconstruction has been essential since the 1960s, offering a faster and less invasive alternative to autologous reconstruction. Recent innovations-including direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction, advancements in surgical planes, synthetic meshes, and nipple-areolar complex (NAC) neurotization-have improved patient outcomes. This review explores these developments, analyzing their impact on breast reconstruction over the past two decades.

Background: The aim of this study was to report our technical experience and mid-term outcomes of robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation in adults following failed primary ureteral reimplantation.
Methods: Twelve patients underwent robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation from December 2020 to May 2022 at double centers. Surgical procedures included anti-reflux dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation, anti-reflux dismembered nipple reimplantation, and anti-reflux non-dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation.
Postoperative Complications of Direct-to-Implant and Two-Staged Breast Reconstruction: A Stratified Analysis.

Post-mastectomy implant-based reconstruction can be performed as direct-to-implant (DTI) or two-staged reconstruction (TSR). Rigorous studies have explored postoperative complications between TSR or DTI, yet few have stratified outcomes by relevant populations, pre-operative findings, mastectomy characteristics, or plane of implant placement. We sought to compare the outcomes between these cohorts at our institution.

Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap for autologous breast reconstruction is associated with higher patient satisfaction and fewer abdominal morbidities at the donor site than the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap. However, abdominal bulging occurs at a certain frequency, and there is no established treatment. Here, we present a case of laparoscopic hernia repair using the enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) method in a patient with a lower abdominal bulge after DIEP flap reconstruction.
