Preferences of different breast reduction techniques: Survey of board-certified plastic surgeons
Conclusions: In Saudi Arabia, inverted T resection patterns with superior or superomedial pedicle designs are the standard techniques used in breast reduction, with higher satisfaction rates and fewer complications. Surgical preferences were significantly different between surgeons based on their training and held fellowships. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)

Treatment Algorithm of Postsurgical Fat Necrosis of the Breast —Revisited
Semin Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1750435Fat necrosis is a common complication of breast surgery, with the potential to cause both functional and aesthetic repercussions that can affect patient satisfaction. Although several fat necrosis classification systems have been proposed, fat necrosis management varies widely across institutions, requiring revisiting of existing treatment protocols. We evaluated the postoperative outcomes on 335 breasts following either breast reduction or reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps at our institution between 2016 and 2020, with particular attention to t...

Recurrent Skin and Soft Tissue Infection following Breast Reduction Surgery Caused by Gordonia bronchialis: A Case Report
We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with repeat incisional break-down and sanguinopurulent drainage who required repeat incision and drainage procedures after bilateral breast reduction. Cultures revealed no growth until 4 months postoperation when matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) revealed Gordonia bronchialis, a fastidious, slow-growing organism. To date, there are fewer than 30 reported cases of G. bronchialis infections and only one with breast involvement. Our patient required 6 weeks of amoxicillin-clavulanate therapy and frequent follow-up for symptom resolution. This case de...

Desmoid fibromatosis of the breast occurring after breast reduction surgery mimicking a carcinoma: A rare case report
CONCLUSION: Breast fibromatosis is a rare entity, clinically and radiologically mimicking breast cancer. Only histology will provide the diagnosis. The treatment of choice is based on complete surgical excision with healthy safety margins.PMID:35638040 | PMC:PMC9142379 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103526 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Predictive Patient Characteristics and Surgical Variables That Influence Postoperative Complications following Bilateral Reduction Mammoplasty
Conclusions:
The findings of this study suggest that BMI has several nonsignificant relationships to postoperative complications following bilateral breast reduction. These trends do not translate to significantly increased complaints of asymmetry, scarring‚ or revision surgeries. This study also provides valuable information on the timeline of postoperative complications and when they can commonly be identified. (Source: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open)

Effect of intraoperative blood pressure on incidence of hematoma in breast reduction mammoplasty
In this study, we performed a retrospective, propensity-matched analysis of patients undergoing primary breast reduction to determine the relationship between intraoperative blood pressure and the development of a postoperative hematoma.

The Management of Postsurgical Pyoderma Gangrenosum following Breast Surgery
Conclusions:
Postsurgical pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, ulcerative condition that is difficult to diagnose and often mismanaged with surgical debridement. Diagnosis requires a high clinical suspicion and should be considered in patients with ulcerative lesions resistant to antibiotic therapy, in patients who have bilateral lesions with NAC sparring, and in those with systemic inflammatory conditions. Diagnosis is usually delayed, so it is imperative that surgeons keep this diagnosis in mind when treating breast patients with postsurgical wounds.

Electrocardiographic changes after breast reduction surgery
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the outcome of BRS on ECG changes of the patients after surgery. Study population included 33 female patients who had undergone BRS. ECG records of every patient before procedure and 6 months after procedure were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were naïve of known cardiac diseases and the patients did not have any known arrhythmia. The mean age of the study population was 40.8 ± 9.6. Total removed breast tissue from both sides was 1493 (1052-2138) mL, as 800 (513-1093) mL removed from right side and 740 (519-1050) mL removed from left side. There were significant changes in ECG of t...
