[INTRODUCTION] Nowadays, physicians have tools to prevent breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) but there is no consensus on when to apply them. The authors analysed patient- and treatment-related risk factors to create the LyBra score, t…

The aesthetic outcomes of wise pattern-based breast reduction and mastopexy procedures are significantly influenced by the final scar quality, which is directly impacted by the suturing technique. Over the past century literature on suture …

[BACKGROUND] Breast conservation surgery (BCS) evolved with oncoplastic techniques to improve aesthetic outcomes while maintaining oncological safety. However, a lack of objective criteria for selecting appropriate reconstruction techniques…

: The use of oncoplastic techniques has spread widely in the last decade, with an expansion of the indications and demonstration of excellent oncological safety profiles. A potential downside may be the increased complication rates, which c…

Post-operative implant infection is generally rare after breast augmentation, but it can occur in up to 35% of cases in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Standard treatment consists in the administration of antibiotics, implant removal…

[OBJECTIVE] The issue of prevention of thromboembolism in plastic surgery is a rather controversial subject. The actual frequency of VTE among plastic surgery patients is probably higher than we know. Although several studies have shown tha…

[BACKGROUND] Nowadays, we have to face the fact that the Web represents one of the most important sources of information for patients. Postbariatric patients in particular are usually very motivated, and they are enthusiastic users of the W…

[BACKGROUND] Fat graft enhanced with adipose-derived stem cells (FG-e-ASCs) has been utilized in outcomes of radiotherapy after mastectomy, breast soft tissue defects, ulcers, and loss of substance. The authors present their experience util…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction is rapidly evolving, because of the changing face of cancer surgery and the growing acceptance of acellular dermal matrices and synthetic meshes. Although some early reports showed encouraging results afte…

Recently, prepectoral breast reconstruction is experiencing a revival. Despite the growing body of early reports about subcutaneous breast reconstruction, literature lacks in long-term results and studies focusing on patient-reported outcom…

The areas in which Stromal Vascular Fraction cells (SVFs) have been used include radiotherapy based tissue damage after mastectomy, breast augmentation, calvarial defects, Crohn's fistulas, and damaged skeletal muscle. Currently, the author…

[BACKGROUND] Although demand for prophylactic mastectomy is increasing over time among women at a high risk for breast cancer, there is a paucity of studies on long term patient-reported outcomes after this procedure. [METHODS] Between Jan…

[INTRODUCTION] The pathogenic mechanism underlying capsular contracture is still unknown. It is certainly a multifactorial process, resulting from human body reaction, biofilm activation, bacteremic seeding, or silicone exposure. The scope …

[BACKGROUND] Although fingertip injuries account for a high proportion of trauma patients, the correct surgical approach is still debated. The authors compared the traditional conservative approach and a new treatment based on the injection…

The use of pectoralis major muscle (PMM) in breast reconstruction has been a mainstay for decades. In recent years, although, a novel approach, the so-called subcutaneous or pre-pectoral breast reconstruction, has been introduced advocating…

[UNLABELLED] Direct-to-implant breast reconstruction can be achieved more easily by means of soft-tissue replacement devices such as dermal matrices and synthetic meshes. The feasibility of a subcutaneous approach has been recently investig…
