Implant Infection

In this paper we are presenting the case report on a patient with breast implant infection after radical mastectomy caused by Citrobacter koseri. Breast implant infection recoverd after systemic antimicrobial therapy and implant removal. We reviewed the literature about breast implant infection and did not find case of Citrobacter koseri infection.

Open Splenectomy

Splenic abscess is a rare entity, however if unrecognised or left untreated, it is invariably fatal. We herein report a case of splenic abscess in a 40-year-old man presenting with fever, left-sided abdominal pain, altered sensorium and vomiting. On clinical examination, hepatosplenomegaly was noted and the ultrasound of the abdomen showed multiple hypoechoic regions in the upper pole of spleen, and the diagnosis of splenic abscess was made. The patient received antimicrobial therapy and underwent an open splenectomy with full recovery. Pus aspirated from the splenic abscess grew an unusual organism named Parabacteroides distasonis. In the literature, there are only a few recorded cases of P. distasonis causing splenic abscess. Through this case report, we would like to emphasise the pathogenic role of P. distasonis in causing clinical disease, as this organism is typically known to constitute a part of the normal flora.

Technical Considerations

Abstract There are limited studies in the plastic surgery literature that detail technical considerations in simultaneous breast implant removal and mastopexy procedures. These procedures are difficult, with significant potential for complications and poor cosmesis. The current plastic surgery literature describes a limited number of techniques that address these concerns, virtually all of which are variants of superior or superior medial pedicle vertical pattern mastopexy. This paper details a safe technique for simultaneous explantation and mastopexy with a novel open marking pattern and vertical bipedicle, which can restore breast cosmesis following implant removal. The study will briefly retrospectively review the results of a consecutive series of 86 patients who underwent this procedure from November 2018 to November 2019, with no incidence of partial or total nipple-areola complex necrosis. Thus, the technique is safe and allows the flexibility for intraoperative adjustments that are necessary for these procedures. A future study will conduct a more in-depth analysis of the results.

Abstract Background An increasing number of women wish breast implant removal whilst maintaining an acceptable projection and form were possible. Objectives The authors propose a technique to remodel the breast after implant removal utilizing internal suture loops to project the breast, recruit abdominal and axillary tissue cranially and medially, and provide a matrix for lipofilling. Methods A prospective analysis was performed of consecutive patients undergoing implant extraction followed by power-assisted liposuction loops and lipofilling. Patient characteristics were measured. The aesthetic results were evaluated by 2 independent raters. Patient-reported satisfaction was measured by standardized questionnaires. Results Implants in 52 patients with an average age of 55 and body mass index of 23.7 were extracted followed by breast remodeling. A total of 73% of patients had implants for aesthetic reasons, 41% were smokers, and 43% of the reconstruction cases received radiotherapy. A total of 28% had implant extraction for rupture, 58% for capsular contracture, and 14% due to pain and migration. The average volume of the implants removed was 292 cc, followed by an average lipofilling of 223 cc, yielding a ratio of 0.76 to 1. The average tissue recruited by loops was 82.5 cc. Independent raters measured 79% of results as good, 13% as acceptable, and 8% as requiring improvement; 80% of patients were satisfied to very satisfied. Conclusions The authors propose implant extraction followed by power-assisted liposuction loops and lipofilling can provide footprint definition, sustained projection, and high patient satisfaction. Moreover, the recruitment of a vascularized adipo-cutaneous flap by loops allows a reduced ratio of fat grafting to implant volume. Level of Evidence: 4

We present a case of chronic lymphoedema that progressed to Stewart–Treves syndrome in a 63-year-old woman with a previous modified radical mastectomy, associated lymph node dissection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. While producing stabilisation of most cutaneous lesions initially, chemotherapeutic treatment of the angiosarcoma did not prevent subsequent metastasis and patient death. We urge vigilance and regular follow-up appointments for patients following a mastectomy with chronic lymphoedema to facilitate prevention or early treatment of this devastating syndrome.
