Oncologic Safety of Staged Prepectoral Implant Reconstruction following Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy: A Mean 9-Year Follow-Up
Conclusion:
The authors’ 9-year two-stage prepectoral reconstruction study of nipple-sparing mastectomy shows that the procedure is oncologically safe, having comparable recurrence, overall survival, and disease-free survival rates as total mastectomy.

Surgical Outcome Measures in a Cohort of Patients at High Risk of Breast Cancer Treated by Bilateral Risk-Reducing Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction
Background:
Women with breast cancer–related genetic pathogenic variants (e.g., BRCA1, BRCA2) or with a strong family history carry lifetime risks of developing breast cancer of up to 80 to 90 percent. A significant proportion of these women proceed to bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy. The authors aimed to document the surgical morbidity of risk-reducing mastectomy and establish whether a diagnosis of breast cancer at the time of surgery impacted outcomes.
Methods:
Clinical details of 445 women identified as having a greater than 25 percent lifetime risk of developing breast cancer who underwent risk-reducin...

Defining the Relationship between Pocket and Breast Implant Surface Area as the Basis for a New Classification System for Capsular Contracture
Conclusions:
The described bench model provides a useful tool for the study of capsular contracture. Surface area is a descriptive variable that can assess the degree of capsular contracture that is present. A classification system based on surface area is presented.

The Batwing Mastopexy in Immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: An Aesthetic Enhancement for Patients with Cancer
Conclusions:
The authors demonstrate that simultaneous batwing mastopexy can be performed safely at the time of immediate breast reconstruction. This technique provides comparable complication rates, improves aesthetic outcomes in patients with significant ptosis or macromastia, and allows nipple-sparing mastectomy to be an option for those who would otherwise be excluded.
