Postirradiation Capsular Contracture in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Management and Outcome.
[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction is commonly avoided in the setting of radiation therapy, mainly because of risks of capsular contracture. Nevertheless, as breast reconstruction is becoming more available, more patients unde…

Outside the box-Surgery for aggressive plasmacytoma in scar.
This report introduces the concept of large-scale surgery and reconstruction when all other medical means of treatment have failed. In select cases, this may act as a mode of buying time and allowing the patient to receive second- or third-…

Blood Count Parameters can be Useful in Predicting Vascular Events in Microvascular Surgery: Results of a Preliminary Study.
[BACKGROUND] Vascular events are a major cause of flap failure and identifying patients who are at risk is of paramount importance. In the past, many studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of blood count parameters for ischem…

Cryopreservation of Stromal Vascular Fraction Cells Reduces Their Counts but Not Their Stem Cell Potency.
[UNLABELLED] Adipose-derived stem cells are derived from the nonfat component of adipose tissue termed the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). The use of freshly isolated autologous SVF cells as an alternative to adult stem cells is becoming m…

Immediate breast reconstruction in high-risk cases using an anatomically shaped permanent expandable implant.
[BACKGROUND] Anatomically shaped permanent expandable implants are dual-chambered devices, which allow their postoperative expansion for the adjustment of volume. Their use is optional when 1-stage immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) dire…
