Adequate long-term breast symmetry was achieved as confirmed by a high patient satisfaction rate. Unilateral vertical scar breast reduction with glandular transposition of the nipple-areola has been a valuable method in selected cases of breast asymmetry.
Closed degloving injury is a severe traumatic separation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fascia first described by Mor el-lav alle in the mid∼19th century. He observed the phenomenon in the lower limb of a woman after tangential trauma with separation of the fatty layers. Sporadic cases have been reported in the literature since. We report a case referred for plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons
Multiple Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a disease of great interest because of the familial nature of the disease, the complexity of its morphology, the progressive character of its course and the numerous complications that may develop during its evolution. The authors present a late presentation of a genital NF type 1 affecting the penis and the right lower limb of a young adult.
One of the critical decisions during the preparative assessment of a patient who will have a breast reconstruction is whether a flap transfer will he necessary to supplement the anterior chest wall tissue. In our practice the material of choice for breast reconstruction is autologous tissue. The latissimus dorsi muscle flap (LDMF) is the most commonly used autogenous tissue flap for breast reconstruction. Few reports exist fro its use in oncologic breast surgery. The authors present 115 patients who underwent LDMF reconstruction to correct volume and contour abnormalities. This retrospective study demonstrates a method of breast reconstruction used LDMF as delayed reconstruction. This methods was used for patients who were diagnosed as having Stage 0, Stage 1 or Stage 2 breast cancer. This study covers a period of 12 years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
