Our new method for nipple reduction has many advantages such as short learning curve, its ability to control the height and diameter of desired nipple size, and excellent aesthetic results.

Non-encapsulated lipomas and their ASCs showed distinct lymphatic histology and cellular response. These findings elucidated the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of lipomas.

Delayed breast reconstruction did not result in clinically significant improvement in mastectomy-induced spinal deformity. This finding should be considered when choosing between immediate and delayed breast reconstruction.

Wide chest wall defects caused by radionecrosis following BC treatment can be successfully reconstructed with a free TRAM flap that uses a contralateral IMA as a recipient. The free TRAM flap demonstrates a lower rate of distal flap loss than the pedicled TRAM flap, hence reduces the risk of severe morbidity.

In the event of vascular thrombosis after free flap breast reconstruction, direct thrombectomy at the proximal pedicle stump beside the anastomosis opening appears to be an effective and reliable option that minimizes vessel trauma related to conventional catheter use. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An anomalous origin of a coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly. Conventionally, the diagnosis of coronary artery anomalies is performed by coronary angiography. Currently developed multidetector computed tomography has permitted better definition of the coronary arteries, however. Multidetector computed tomography could be used effectively in the diagnosis and evaluation of the postoperative status of a patient with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left sinus of V

B reast reconstruction is achieved through surgical procedures following mastectomy after breast cancer or trauma using implants or autologous tissue to restore the breast morphology. Reconstruction can physically and emotionally restore a patient's self confidence after the loss of a breast. The method of breast reconstruction is determined by several factors, such as the patient's general medical condition, the extent of the mastectomy, and donor site suitability when opting for autologous fla

Background: The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been popularized in implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR). However, it is still controversial if ADM-associated complication rates differ with varying types of ADM products. The aim of this study was to compare postoperative complications between CGCRYODERM and DermACELL.Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 32 patients (64 breasts) who underwent bilateral prosthetic breast reconstruction between June 2015 and December

Transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap is one of the most commonly used reconstruction tools after oncological mastectomy. However, post-operative donor-site morbidities remain an issue to be addressed. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed patients with either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction using a free muscle-sparing type I transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap only, performed by a single surgeon, regarding the donor-site morbidity. From January 2012 to July 201

Abstract Background Although immediate breast reconstruction has been reported to be oncologically safe, no affirmative study comparing the two reconstruction methods exists. We investigated breast cancer recurrence rates in two breast reconstruction types; implant reconstruction and autologous flap reconstruction. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed on propensity score-matched (for age, stage, estrogen receptor status) patients who underwent IBR after mastectomy at Seoul National
