The ability to better prognosticate burn injury outcome is challenging and historically, most center use the Baux or revised Baux score to help prognosticate burn outcome, however, the weighted contribution of comorbidity on burn mortality has traditionally not been accounted for nor adequately studied. We therefore sought to determine the effect of comorbidities, using the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on burn mortality.
Breast implants and, more recently, autologous fat grafting are the two most common treatments used to correct tuberous breast deformity (TBD). The post-surgical quality of life between the two techniques is not well demonstrated. This study aimed to compare satisfaction and health-related quality of life in patients affected by TBD between these two techniques.
Breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinctive type of T-cell lymphoma that arises around breast implants. Although rare, all cases with adequate history have involved a textured breast implant. The objective of this study was to determine the U.S. incidence and lifetime prevalence of breast implant–associated ALCL in women with textured breast implants.
Pain in the early post-operative period following subpectoral placement of tissue expanders and implants is commonly reported. The current standard of care for pain control involves the use of oral narcotics. This study, determinated the efficacy of Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections for pain relief following placement of subpectoral tissue expanders and breast implants.
El cáncer de mama es el cáncer más frecuente en las mujeres en todo el mundo y es la principal causa de muerte por cáncer entre las mujeres. La mastectomía profiláctica o curativa a menudo está seguida por la reconstrucción de la mama, por lo que existen varios enfoques quirúrgicos que utilizan implantes de mama con los que los cirujanos pueden restaurar la apariencia, el tamaño y la forma natural de la mama. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los efectos de diferentes tipos de implantes de mama sobre la contractura capsular, las complicaciones quirúrgicas a corto y a largo plazo, el nivel de satisfacción posoperatoria y la calidad de vida en las pacientes sometidas al proceder.
