Protective effect of topical antibiotics in breast augmentation.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Previous studies indicate that antibacterial lavage and/or use of topical antibiotics may reduce infection in breast implant surgery and perhaps also reduce occurrence of capsular contracture. A retrospective analysis was performed to ... Read more...

Modified iliac bone harvesting--morbidity and patients' experience.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the postoperative morbidity and patients' satisfaction after harvesting a bicortical bone graft from the anterior iliac wing using a modified surgical technique. MATERIALS AND ... Read more...

MRI guidance for accelerated partial breast irradiation in prone position: imaging protocol design and evaluation.

21 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: To design and evaluate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol to be incorporated in the simulation process for external beam accelerated partial breast irradiation. METHODS AND MATERIALS: An imaging protocol was developed based on an ... Read more...
