REVIEW
Emma C Koesters, David W Chang
The debate over when to perform flaps in patients undergoing radiation remains an ongoing dilemma without definitive resolution. Classically, reconstructive surgeons recommended avoiding exposure of autologous flaps to radiotherapy due to concerns over surgical complications and poor aesthetic outcomes. However, delayed reconstruction carries its own risk profile and aesthetic limitations, given the irreversible changes to the breast envelope. Immediate reconstruction not only confers psychosocial benefits but allows for preservation of the native breast skin and footprint...

BACKGROUND: Both subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX + AT) are considered acceptable surgical approaches for renal patients. It is common that parathyroid surgery is performed in patients before they undergo kidney transplantation and there is currently no evidence considering the best surgical approach in this subset of patients. METHODS: Two cohorts were identified of consecutive patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism by two surgeons at a single institution over equivalent time periods (SPTX and TPTX + AT)...

REVIEW
Elisa K Atamian, Mark L Smith
Advances in breast cancer management have provided most patients with the hope for cure or avoidance of cancer altogether. Such advances have made quality of life much more important after treatment and have led to equally incredible advances in breast reconstruction, to the point where reconstructive goals have altered the way mastectomies are now performed. As experience and expertise in microsurgery has grown, the surgical feat of successfully transferring tissue to restore breast volume is no longer considered an adequate endpoint for aesthetic breast reconstruction...

BACKGROUND: Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures in the world. Aquafilling filler, since its introduction in 2005 has been used for breast or buttock augmentation in several countries. Aquafilling filler is composed of 2% polyacrylamide with 98% sodium chloride 0.9% solution, and is known to have a similar composition with polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) filler, which is also related to a variety of complications. Although many studies have warned against the complications of aquafilling filler, it is still being used for aesthetic purposes...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Identification of ideal candidates for prepectoral versus retropectoral implant-based breast reconstruction relies on careful preoperative risk assessment and intraoperative flap evaluation. Few guidelines exist to guide the surgeon's decision-making process when evaluating the preferred plane for implant placement. METHODS: A literature review was performed to develop clinical decision-making algorithms for direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for patients undergoing prophylactic or therapeutic nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) based on patient characteristics, surgical techniques, and outcomes...

BACKGROUND: There is a growing trend to apply minimally invasive local treatments for elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer. As a minimally invasive thermal therapy, microwave ablation (MWA) has been attempted to treat breast cancer of small lesions, but its long-term local efficacy on elderly patients has seldom been reported. In this study, we aimed to compare outcomes of MWA combined with endocrine therapy to standard surgery combined with adjuvant therapy in the treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative invasive breast cancer for elderly patients...

Shelby Chun Fat, Edward Ray
Gender-affirming surgery (GAS), including breast feminization, is requested and performed with increasing frequency. Transgender women may seek chest feminization surgery to address gender dysphoria, and such procedures have been shown to increase psychosocial and sexual well-being. Despite the potential effects of hormone therapy and androgen blockade on breast development, the results of glandular growth in adult transgender women are typically disappointing and are often inadequate to achieve the patient's goals...

BACKGROUND: Thyroidectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures carried out worldwide and it has evolved in recent years with alternative approaches. With the advent of minimally invasive techniques, the learning curve (LC) concept has become a fundamental "dogma". METHODS: A literature search, according to the PRISMA guidelines, was performed via PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Only studies assessing the learning process to thyroidectomy (including hemi- and total thyroidectomy), reporting a minimum of 30 procedures and describing clearly the minimum number of performances required to achieve proficiency and the main evaluation items used to establish it, were included...
