This guide explores innovative pre-pectoral breast reconstruction techniques, offering detailed procedural insights and expert knowledge for enhanced surgical outcomes.
The practice of tissue expander and implant-based pre-pectoral breast reconstruction is gaining recognition for its potential to deliver superior cosmetic results, reduced pain, and shorter recovery times. Prepectoral Techniques in Reconstructive Breast Surgery serves as a pioneering reference that delves deeply into this innovative approach, providing comprehensive, step-by-step descriptions of current procedures. This book highlights the evolving landscape of breast reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of understanding both the technical and aesthetic aspects of surgery.
In Prepectoral Techniques in Reconstructive Breast Surgery, readers will find the insights and expertise of renowned plastic surgeons who specialize in pre-pectoral techniques. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the surgical process, including illustrated, detailed descriptions of procedures that enhance the learning experience. It addresses critical factors such as tissue perfusion assessment, the integration of acellular dermal matrices (ADM), fat grafting, patient selection criteria, potential complications, and important postoperative considerations.
Additionally, this resource discusses the implications of radiotherapy in various patient scenarios, including those requiring mastectomy after failed breast conservation therapy, patients undergoing immediate reconstruction post-mastectomy, and those seeking delayed reconstruction. Prepectoral Techniques in Reconstructive Breast Surgery is an essential guide for both seasoned professionals and those new to the field, aiming to elevate the standard of care in reconstructive breast surgery.
"This book outlines the rationale, scientific basis, and techniques of tissue expander/implant-based prepectoral breast reconstruction surgery.
The intended audience is reconstructive breast surgeons.
Each chapter begins with key points. Topics are succinctly presented in a manner that is easy to comprehend. The authors first offer a historical perspective on breast implant placement. The subsequent chapters then discuss acellular dermal matrix incorporation; guiding principles in mastectomy and nipple sparing techniques along with optimal placement of the incisions for these procedures. A chapter on assessing tissue viability is followed by a discussion of various prepectoral implant approaches and accompanying ancillary procedures that have been found to be beneficial for the reconstructive breast surgery patient. These procedures include: breast reconstruction with and without acellular dermal matrix; data that corroborates that prepectoral placement is optimal; fat grafting; patient selection and the use of this modality in the high body mass index individual; timing for reconstruction with consideration of radiation, tissue expansion, conversion of implants to another plane; and complications and postoperative considerations, along with cancer surveillance unique to the prepectoral placement of implants. The last chapter highlights the economic rationale for this technique.
The authors present a sound alternative for breast reconstruction which may shift surgeons from the reconstructive techniques they have previously employed."
