Stony Brook, N.Y. From the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Stony Brook University Medical Center, and the Stony Brook University School of Medicine.
Background: The literature reports overall complication rates in breast reconstruction to be as high as 60 percent. Infection rates can exceed 20 percent, much higher than anticipated in clean elective surgery. There is no consensus among surgeons regarding the necessary duration of antibiotic prophylaxis, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines suggest only 24 hours.

Stony Brook, N.Y. From the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Stony Brook University Medical Center, and the Stony Brook University School of Medicine.
Background: Intraoperative vascular imaging can assist assessment of mastectomy skin flap perfusion to predict areas of necrosis. No head-to-head study has compared modalities such as laser-assisted indocyanine green dye angiography and fluorescein dye angiography with clinical assessment.
Methods: The authors conducted a prospective clinical trial of tissue expander-implant breast reconstruction with intraoperative evaluation of mastectomy skin flaps by clinical assessment, laser-assisted indocyanine green dye angiography, and fluorescein dye angiography.
