Background
Breast reconstruction with microvascular free tissue transfer has become a widely used method. Despite a high rate of success, a compromised flap necessitating re‐exploration can occur. Here, we introduce direct thrombectomy as a flap salvage technique, and compared the results with conventional thrombectomy.
Methods
A total of 488 patients who underwent breast reconstruction using a...
Background
In autologous breast reconstruction, abdominal based flaps are by far the most common choice from the wide range of free flaps available. In selected cases, a laparoscopically harvested omental free flap (LHOFF) can be used. Patient satisfaction has not been reported until now. In this article, we report our experience using LHOFF in breast reconstruction including our technique, patient...
Background
Autologous breast reconstruction is associated with long‐term patient satisfaction that is superior to implant‐based approaches. Occasionally, however, patients who desire autologous reconstruction present with inadequate donor‐site volume. A hybrid approach, combining free flap reconstruction with simultaneous implant placement, is a solution. We present our experience with the use of...
