Total breast reconstruction with the fat-augmented latissimus dorsi (FALD) flap: High safety in a single-center uncontrolled case series

The use of Fat-Augmented Latissimus Dorsi (FALD) flap for male Poland Syndrome correction: a case report

“…Nevertheless, we found our donor site seroma rate to be 0% in our previously published research based on a case series of 25 breast reconstructions [ 10 ]. We found this rate to still be remarkably low (0.68%) in a much larger case series of 148 breast reconstructions using FALD, which is currently still in press [ 29 ]. This is likely due to considerable technical differences.…”

Bilateral breast infection following total breast reconstruction with autologous fat transfer (AFT): A case report

“…In autologous fat transfer (AFT) fat tissue is harvested from donor sites, processed and reinjected into the recipient site. Lipofilling is used as an adjuvant procedure to refine other breast reconstruction techniques as well as a standalone total autologous breast reconstruction technique [ 1 , 2 ]. Total breast reconstruction with AFT has proven to be satisfying and safe [ 3 , 4 ].…”

The Use of Exashapetm Bioshield Pocket in Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction: A Preliminary Experience

“…In the last few years there has been an increase in placement of subcutaneous pre-pectoral prosthesis 8 . This technique, unlike the other proposals in the literature, has the advantage of avoiding the morbidity of the pectoralis major muscle or latissimus dorsi muscle [9][10][11] , the related effects of prosthetic animation and breast distortion and reducing post-operative pain. However, it is associated with greater incidence of capsular contracture, rippling, palpability and visibility of the implant.…”
