The type of reconstruction performed depends on body type, age, general health status, type of cancer treatment or other reason for reconstruction. Breast reconstruction may require multiple surgeries, such as nipple and areola reconstruction and tattoo pigmentation, revision surgery involving the breast ...
compared the use of a wound drain with no wound drain following plastic and reconstructive surgery of the breast (breast augmentation, breast reduction and breast reconstruction) in women were eligible. Two review authors undertook independent data extraction of study characteristics, methodological quality...

American College of Surgeons' (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) was investigated to identify patients undergoing microsurgical breast reconstruction between 2005–2014 using Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) code, 19364. We used mFI as a measure of frailt...
Lee et al (2016) noted that accurate breast volume assessment is a pre-requisite to pre-operative planning, as well as intra-operative decision-making in breast reconstruction surgery. The use of three-dimensional surface imaging (3D scanning) to examine breast volume has many advantages. However...
Reconstructive surgery was performed in 48.3% of CPM patients compared with only 16.0% of unilateral mastectomy patients, with rates of reconstruction with CPM rising from 35.3% in 2002 to 55.4% in 2012 (p < 0.001). When compared with breast-conserving therapy, these researchers found no ...
All the fluorescent signals were further subjected to image reconstruction through analysis of fluorescence yield distribution in the phantom. As shown in Figure 5, we found that the detected area could be more concentrated and closer to the real BTuM position along with increases of RI or concent...
