Effect of postoperative radiotherapy on autologous deep inferior epigastric perforator flap volume after immediate breast reconstruction.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The effect of postoperative radiotherapy following autologous flap breast reconstruction is controversial. The aim of this study was to measure whether adjuvant radiotherapy following immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) ... Read more...

Lateral mammaplasty reconstruction after surgery for breast cancer.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Up to 60 per cent of cancers develop laterally in the breast and breast-conserving surgery frequently produces superolateral nipple-areolar complex (NAC) distortion aggravated by postoperative irradiation. Correction is technically ... Read more...

Custom-made Reduction Mammaplasty.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Macromastia is a health problem that requires the coordination of surgical and medical specialists. Goals of reduction mammaplasty are to alleviate physical, emotional and psychosocial discomforts and to restore a conical-shaped breast, ... Read more...
