Breast Sensation

This study has quantitatively measured breast sensation following reduction mammaplasty using a vertical bipedicle technique. Breast sensation was quantitatively assessed by determining pressure and vibratory threshold values preoperatively in 20 subjects, and postoperatively in 15 patients. The nipple, areola and breast body were all independently assessed. Early results, less than one month postoperatively, revealed significant reductions in vibratory and pressure thresholds in the nipple and areola. Long term follow-up revealed that breast sensation returned to normal using this surgical technique.

Aim: To evaluate long term macular changes following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for diabetic macular edema (DME) Methods: Forty eligible eyes of 37 patients were included in this retrospective study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT) and 5-mm macular volume (5-MV) were examined preoperatively and at postoperative 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th months and final visits. Response to surgical treatment was considered as recurrence, reincrease and recovery of DME based on macular changes. Results: Mean follow-up time was 51.1±19.0 months following surgery. Recurrence (n=5) and reincrease (n=17) of DME was observed in 22 eyes (55%) and additional treatments were applied. Recovery of DME was observed in 18 eyes (45%). Preoperative and final visit mean BCVAs (logMAR) were 1.08±0.37 and 0.93±0.45, respectively (p=0.02). Preoperative and final visit mean CMTs were 514.74±155.65 µm and 281.87±112.58 µm, respectively (p<0.001). The 5-MV significantly decreased following surgery (8.18±1.57 mm3 to 6.52±1.39 mm3) (p<0.001). DME was present in 12 eyes (%30) at final visit. Conclusion: Although PPV with ILM peeling had an efficacy in DME management, this effect tends to decrease over time such that considerable amount of patients required additional treatment.
