Abstract:
Objective – To improve the results of surgical treatment of various defects of the auricle by improving the methods of otoplasty. Material and Methods - The study included patients with acquired traumatic defects and III degree inborn folded auricle. The work was carried out in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Microsurgery of the State Institution " RSSPMCS named after Academician V. Vakhidov" for the period from 1990 to 2020. In general, the comparative analysis of the results included 38 patients in the main group, among them in 13 (34.2%) cases there were defects with extension to the central part of the auricle, 15 (39.5%) patients with III degree deformity of the auricle (folded auricle), as well as in 9 cases - marginal defects of the auricle and in 1 case a patient with a total traumatic defect. The comparison group included 28 patients, 16 (57.1%) - defects with extension to the central part of the auricle and 12 (42.9%) patients with III degree deformity of the auricle. Accordingly, the effectiveness of the proposed otoplasty method for ear defects was assessed according to two categories of pathologies - defects with extension to the central part of the auricle and grade III ear deformity (folded auricle). The average age in the main group was 22.4 ± 1.3 years, in the comparison group 19.4 ± 1.9 years. Results - Improved methods of reconstruction of an amputated but preserved auricle, with a peripheral defect of the auricle, with a folded auricle, and reconstructive otoplasty with defects with the capture of the central parts of the auricle are proposed. In total, complications developed in 8 (29.6%) patients in the comparison group and 2 (7.1%) in the main group. At the same time, the incidence of surgical complications, which subsequently led to the need for re-reconstruction, was 11.1% in the comparison group. There were no complications in the main group. In total, 6 (22.2%) additional stages of otoplasty were performed in the comparison group. In the main group, an additional stage of surgery was required only in 1 (3.6%) case of the formation of an unnatural skin fold. There was also a statistically significant difference in the number of additional plastic surgery stages performed for the complications noted above (criterion χ2 = 4.305; df = 1; p = 0.039). The average duration of surgery in the comparison group for all stages of reconstructive otoplasty was 220.7 ± 2.7 minutes, and in the main group after 2-stage otoplasty according to the proposed method - 189.5 ± 1.9 minutes (t-criterion = -9 , 60; p <0.05). Conclusion - The improved method of otoplasty in case of grade III defects or deformities of the auricle made it possible to reduce the overall incidence of complications from 29.6% to 7.1%, and to reduce the need for repeated reconstructive interventions from 22.2% to 3.6%, which, in general, led to a decrease in the period of complete rehabilitation from 4.4 ± 0.1 to 3.7 ± 0.1 months.

Abstract:
Introduction. Plastic surgery is a medical specialty dealing with corrections of defects, improvements in appearance and restoration of lost function. Ancient Times. The first recorded account of reconstructive plastic surgery was found in ancient Indian Sanskrit texts, which described reconstructive surgeries of the nose and ears. In ancient Greece and Rome, many medicine men performed simple plastic cosmetic surgeries to repair damaged parts of the body caused by war mutilation, punishment or humiliation. In the Middle Ages, the development of all medical braches, including plastic surgery was hindered. New age. The interest in surgical reconstruction of mutilated body parts was renewed in the XVIII century by a great number of enthusiastic and charismatic surgeons, who mastered surgical disciplines and became true artists that created new forms. Modern Era. In the XX century, plastic surgery developed as a modern branch in medicine including many types of reconstructive surgery, hand, head and neck surgery, microsurgery and replantation, treatment of burns and their sequelae, and esthetic surgery. Contemporary and future plastic surgery will continue to evolve and improve with regenerative medicine and tissue engineering resulting in a lot of benefits to be gained by patients in reconstruction after body trauma, oncology amputation, and for congenital disfigurement and dysfunction.

Abstract:
Thesis (MMed (Surgical Sciences. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.
The repair of full-thickness defects of the lower eyelids poses a challenge because a graft in combination with a flap is typically used to replace either the posterior or anterior lamella. This often results in aesthetically and functional unsatisfactory outcomes. A rotation-advancement tarso-conjunctival cheek flap, which reconstructs both posterior and anterior lamella with vascularized tissue similar to the native eyelid, is described. Nine patients underwent reconstruction with a rotation-advancement tarso-conjunctival cheek flap. The indications, complications and outcomes were evaluated. The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 60 months with an average of twenty three months. The main indication for use of this flap is full-thickness defects of the lower eyelid between 25 – 75 %, typically after tumour ablation. All the patients had a functional and aesthetically satisfactory outcome. One patient underwent a revision canthoplasty. The rotation-advancement tarso-conjunctival cheek flap adheres to basic plastic surgery principles resulting in a satisfactory outcome; (a) Vascularized tissue is used to reconstruct the defect. (b)The flap composition is similar to the native eyelid i.e. replace like with like. (c) The flap makes use of tissue that is excess and therefore limits donor morbidity.

Abstract:
To correct, improve, and maintain tissues, and their functions, are common denominators in tissue engineering and reconstructive plastic surgery. This can be achieved by using autolo-gous tissues as in flaps or transplants. However, often autologous tissue is not useable. This is one of the reasons for the increasing interest among plastic surgeons for tissue engineering, and it has led to fruitful cross-fertilizations between the fields. Tissue engineering is defined as an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences for development of biologic substitutes designed to maintain, restore, or improve tissue functions. These methods have already dramatically improved the possibilities to treat a number of medical conditions, and can arbitrarily be divided into two main principles: > Methods where autologous cells are cultured in vitro and transplanted by means of a cell suspension, a graft, or in a 3-D biodegradable matrix as carrier. > Methods where the tissue of interest is stimulated and given the right prerequisites to regenerate the tissue in vivo/situ with the assistance of implantation of specially designed materials, or application of substances that regulate cell functions - guided tissue regeneration. We have shown that human mammary epithelial cells and adipocytes could be isolated from tissue biopsies and that the cells kept their proliferative ability. When co-cultured in a 3-D matrix, patterns of ductal structures of epithelial cells embedded in clusters of adipocytes, mimicking the in vivo architecture of human breast tissue, were seen. This indicated that human autologous breast tissue can be regenerated in vitro. The adipose tissue is also generally used to correct soft tissue defects e.g. by autologous fat transplantation. Alas 30-70% of the transplanted fat is commonly resorbed. Preadipocytes are believed to be hardier and also able to replicate, and hence, are probably more useful for fat transplantation. We showed that by using cell culture techniques, significantly more pre-adipocytes could survive and proliferate in vitro compared to two clinically used techniques of fat graft handling. Theoretically, a biopsy of fat could generate enough preadipocytes to seed a biodegradable matrix that is implanted to correct a defect. The cells in the matrix will replicate at a rate that parallels the vascular development, the matrix subsequently degrades and the cell-matrix complex is replaced by regenerated, vascularized adipose tissue. We further evaluated different biodegradable scaffolds usable for tissue engineering of soft tissues. A macroporous gelatin sphere showed several appealing characteristics. A number of primary human ecto- and mesodermal cells were proven to thrive on the gelatin spheres when cultured in spinner flasks. As the spheres are biodegradable, it follows that the cells can be cultured and expanded on the same substrate that functions as a transplantation vehicle and scaffold for tissue engineering of soft tissues. To evaluate the in vivo behavior of cells and gelatin spheres, an animal study was performed where human fibroblasts and preadipocytes were cultured on the spheres and injected intra-dermally. Cell-seeded spheres were compared with injections of empty spheres and cell suspensions. The pre-seeded spheres showed a near complete regeneration of the soft tissues with neoangiogenesis. Some tissue regeneration was seen also in the ‘naked’ spheres but no effect was shown by cell injections. In a human pilot-study, intradermally injected spheres were compared with hyaluronan. Volume-stability was inferior to hyaluronan but a near complete regeneration of the dermis was proven, indicating that the volume-effect is permanent in contrast to hyaluronan which eventually will be resorbed. Further studies are needed to fully evaluate the effect of the macroporous gelatin spheres, with or without cellular pre-seeding, as a matrix for guided tissue regeneration. However, we believe that the prospect to use these spheres as an injectable, 3D, biodegradable matrix will greatly enhance our possibilities to regenerate tissues through guided tissue regeneration.

Abstract:
Background: Free tissue transfer has become the standard of care for the reconstruction of head and neck oncological defects. The Groote Schuur Hospital provides a microsurgical reconstructive service in a resource-limited setting, without access to venous couplers, invasive monitoring devices, modern microscopes or sophisticated pre-operative imaging. The reconstructive surgeons perform all anastomoses under x4.5 loupe magnification. Methods: A retrospective chart review was undertaken of cases performed by the service over a 3-year period. Demographic factors, indications for flap cover, operative details (flap used, duration and lowest recorded temperature), intensive care and hospital length of stay, and other outcomes were recorded and evaluated (including flap and systemic complications, donor site morbidity, haematomas as well as returns to theatre). Results: Over a 36-month period, 109 flaps for head and neck reconstruction were performed. The main indication for surgery was squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The mean operating time for resection and reconstruction was 6.02 h (range of 4 to 12 h). Virtually, all reconstructions were performed using one of either radial forearm, free fibula or anterolateral thigh flaps. We report a complete flap loss rate of 6 %. All four successful salvages were undertaken in the early (less than 24 h) post-operative period. Hypothermia intra-operatively appears to correlate very closely with pejorative outcomes. Conclusions: By restricting reconstructive options to three main 'workhorse' flaps and by utilising a simultaneous two-team approach for tumour ablation and flap elevation, success rates comparable to international standards have been achieved. Limited resources should not be regarded as an impassable barrier to providing a successful microvascular head and neck reconstructive service.

Abstract:
Introduction Humans have several different types of hair, classified into eight different groups, of which types VII and VIII predominate in South Africa. The scalp with its abundance of hair is often used as a preferential donor site for small burns. Major reasons cited are that the donor site is hidden from view (covered by hair), rapidly epithelializes with minimal scarring and provides a relatively large surface area. The author postulates that the type of hair will have an influence on the healing of scalp donor sites, complications and aesthetic outcome. Contrary to international consensus, the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital (RCWMCH) experience indicated that the use of the scalp as donor area is not ideal due to the frequent complications seen amongst paediatric patients e.g. visible scars, recurrent folliculitis, patchy alopecia, hypertrophic scarring and areas of de- and hyperpigmentation. Objective This study reviewed the complications encountered with the use of the scalp as primary donor area in children of mostly black African origin (type VI-VIII hair). Methodology A retrospective folder review of patients admitted to RCWMCH between 2003 and 2015 with major burns (>30% total body surface area) was conducted. A total of 179 patient folders were reviewed. Only children (n=25) with unburned scalp donor areas were included in this study. Both short- long-term complications were identified. The patient age range was six months - 12 years, while the mean patient follow-up period was 580 days and mean burn TBSA was 44.92% (range 4 – 85%). Results Patient demographics: black African 60% descent (hair types VI-VIII), 32% mixed race (hair types III-V) and 4% Caucasian (hair types II-III). In the group of black African children 60% had short-term and 46.7% long-term complications, whereas in the mixed race children 37.5% had short-term and 25% long-term complications. No complications were encountered in the Caucasian group. Eleven (48%) of patients in total had short-term complications (88.9% folliculitis, 22.2% delayed healing) and seven (28%) had long-term complications (57,1% non-healing wounds, 42.8% recurrent folliculitis, 57.1% alopecia, 42.9% depigmented scars, 28.6% visible scars, 28.6% hypertrophic scars). The first procurement in 11 children resulted in a 91% complication rate (54.5% short-term and 36.4% long-term). Ten children had two procurements resulting in an 80% complication rate (40% short-term and 40% long-term complications). In four children with three scalp procurements an acute 25% complication rate, with no subsequent long-term complications, was encountered. Discussion Hair type has an influence on outcome and donor sites should be carefully selected. Hair types VI-VIII has a higher propensity for complications and these usually follow the first procurement procedure. Complications did not increase with multiple procurements. Significant complications with long-term sequelae are not uncommon when the scalp is used as donor site and these complications are difficult to treat. Although the sample size is small, it does reflect a significant complication rate. Conclusion Contrary to international consensus, the use of the scalp as donor site in South African children with hair types VI-VIII with large burns should not be the preferential site and should only be used as a last resort.

Abstract:
The standard surgical treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) includes revision palatoplasty, posterior pharyngeal flap and sphincter pharyngoplasty. These procedures are not without complication and can also be challenging to the occasional cleft surgeon. The greatest complication is iatrogenic obstructive sleep apnoea particularly in high risk patients. With the introduction of posterior pharyngeal wall augmentation, a lesser and simpler surgical procedure, various materials have been used for this purpose with limited success and significant complication rates. Augmentation of the velo-pharynx with autologous fat has been practiced for decades. Autologous fat has multiple advantages compared to other biological and synthetic materials used for augmentation of the velopharynx. Autologous fat is readily available, has low donor site morbidity, does not migrate, injects easily and is non-allergenic. The outcome of fat grafting for VPI is good and stable long term, albeit unpredictable due to the resorption of fat. The procedure may therefore need to be repeated in order to achieve the desired results. The aim of this study is to evaluate and document the outcome of autologous fat grating for the treatment of mild to moderate VPI in children at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH). A retrospective folder review was conducted on 9 consecutive patients who underwent velopharygeal fat grating for the treatment of mild to moderate VPI at the RCWMCH from 2010 to 2014. All the patients had had primary palatoplasty performed previously and subsequently developed VPI. Patients were assessed pre- and postoperatively by two cleft surgeons, and an experienced speech and language therapist with the aid of laterl view videofluoroscopy (VF). Pre-operative and post-operative perceptual speech assessments were performed by a dedicated speech and language therapist. Two senior cleft surgeons performed pre-and post-operative videofluoroscopy interpretations. Eleven fat grafting procedures were performed on 9 patients and an average of 5.64 ml (range 1 ml to 7 ml) of autologous fat was transferred to the velopharynx. The average age at the time of operation was 6.5 years (range 3 years to 14 years) with a follow-up period of 18 months (range 7 months to 34 months). Most of the patients (7 out of 9) showed improved speech following fat grafting. There were no complications related to the fat grafting procedure. This small study suggests that fat grafting is an effective, minimally invasive surgical alternative for the treatment of mild to moderate VPI and to our knowledge, is the first reported study from Africa.

Abstract:
There has been a change in the management of infantile haemangioma with the introduction of propranolol. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate a simple treatment for infantile haemangioma at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital (RCWMCH) and document the results. While it is known that all haemangiomas undergo involution at some stage, some haemangiomas pose certain problems. These relate mainly to visual axis obstruction and aesthetics. Subjects are children in the first two years of life presenting with haemangiomas. All patients were treated with oral propranolol in conjunction with haemangioma size documentation, using a simple radiological modality, i.e. ultrasound imaging. Patients are followed up and clinical and radiological evaluations are undertaken to observe changes in size and appearance. Propranolol is non-selective β-adrenergic antagonist that is used extensively for the treatment of a multitude of disorders, mainly cardiovascular indications. The main adverse effects include bradycardia, hypotension and bronchospasms. For the purposes of this study, all subjects were routinely examined, especially with regard to the cardiopulmonary systems. Any perceived anomaly was referred to the cardiorespiratory physicians at RCWMCH for further evaluation, which includes all the necessary investigations such as electrocardiograms(ECG) and echocardiograms. Therefore, only fit healthy patients were selected for this study. Patients are educated and fully informed regarding the adverse effect profile of propranolol, and advised of the appropriate route of management.

Abstract:
Background Mastectomy is the mainstay of surgical treatment for women with breast cancer in South Africa. The increase in breast reconstruction after a mastectomy has prompted the need to evaluate patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for this set of operative intervention. This study aimed to assess clinical and patient reported outcome measures in immediate breast reconstruction patients using the BREAST-Q and compare these with international cohorts. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed on all patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction between January 2011 and December 2016. This consisted of a retrospective clinical record review of perioperative outcomes, and a quality of life analysis using the BREAST-Q Post-Reconstruction questionnaire. Outcome predictors were identified using Chi-square, Fisher exact, One-way ANOVA, Student t-tests and Kruskal Wallis analysis of variance. A random-effect single arm meta-analysis was performed to compare the BREASTQ scores with international cohorts. Results A total of 52 patients were included with a mean age of 43.2 (+/-9.5) years. Eighteen patients (34.6%) developed early complications; of these 8 (44.4%) were major. Thirty-one patients (59.6%) developed late complications; of these 18 (58.1%) were major. Fifteen patients (28.8%) had failed reconstruction. There was a significantly higher risk of failure following a total mastectomy (TM) (p=0.02), tissue expander reconstruction (TE) (p< 0.01) and stage 2 breast cancer (p=0.01). Patients who underwent nipple reconstruction and immediate-delayed reconstruction before 12 months, reported higher well-being and satisfaction scores. Compared to international cohorts our BREAST-Q scores were lower but fall within the 95% confidence interval for Sexual Well-Being and Satisfaction with Nipples and Care. Conclusion Immediate breast reconstruction poses a high risk of complications and reconstructive failure especially, with TM and TE. Our BREAST-Q scores are comparable to international studies and may be useful in guiding patient consent.

Abstract:
Background The anthropomometry of the “ideal” breast is well described, but changes that occur with enlarged breasts are not. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of nipple asymmetry in the horizontal plane and changes in the inframammary fold (IMF) in patients presenting with macromastia (defined as excessive development of the mammary gland by Merriam-Webster dictionary). Methods One hundred patients (200 breasts) presenting to the Plastic Surgery Clinic for bilateral breast reduction were enrolled in this study. Patient's characteristics captured for this study included age, body mass index (BMI), and breast anthropometric measurements, such as suprasternal notch to nipple, nipple to IMF, IMF projected to cubital fossa, midhumeral point, and nipple measurement from meridian. Basic univariate statistical analysis were performed to evaluate the impact of nipple asymmetry. Results The average age was 37 years (SD 12 years), and the median BMI was 33 (IQR 28-37). More patients presented with nipple asymmetry, of whom 45% were classified as lateral to meridian, 19% were classified as medial to the meridian, and 36% were classified as central to the meridian. Patients with lateral asymmetry and medial asymmetry has a significantly higher BMI (median BMI 35) compared with patients with central positioning (median 30). Increasing breast size was positively associated with nipple asymmetry, whereas BMI (R = - 0.30, P =0.003) and macromastia correlated negatively with IMF position (R= - 0.38), P= 0.0001). Conclusion In macromastia, nipple displacement from breast meridian, especially lateral displacement, is common and is aggravated by an increase in BMI. The IMF also descends, and this is also common in patients with a raised BMI. These changes have clinical implications.

Abstract:
Objectives: In view of the prominent incidence and morbidity (especially cosmetic and psychological) associated with breast cancer, it was intended to demonstrate the evolution of the surgical approach of this pathology in women operated at the Hospital Geral de Palmas (HGP), in the pre- and post-training course in breast oncoplasty (BO) by mastologists. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study of surgery for breast cancer in women performed from July 2013 to June 2016 at the HGP. The study criteria were based on patients’ identification and respective age, date of surgery, and the type of surgery, either reconstructive or radical. The number of reconstructive surgeries was compared between the period before the end of the training (pre-course, July 2013, to December 2014) and the period that followed (post-course, January 2015 to June 2016). The descriptive statistics and the comparison of the variables were analyzed using the software IBM®SPSS® Estatistics 20.0. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used for normality analysis and the one-sample chisquare test for expected distribution with one degree of freedom (DF). The association between the type of surgery and the period (pre- or post-course) was assessed with Pearson’s chi-square (χ2 -P) and its subsequent continuity correction (CC), likelihood ratio (λLR), and Fisher’s exact test by linear-by-linear association (FEL-LA). Significance level α=5% was adopted. Results: Records of 94 surgeries performed before and 134 after training were found. Of these, the percentage of reconstructive practices increased from 5.3% (2013–2014) to 53.7% (2015–2016), with a significant association with the completion of training in BO (χ2 -P=57.891; CC=55.747; λLR=67.533; FEL-LA=57.637; DF=1; p<0.001). Conclusion: The training in BO provides better aesthetic conditions and, therefore, better quality of life after surgery, in addition to allowing assistance to more patients, regardless of the plastic surgery team dedicated to oncoplastic procedures.

Abstract:
Background There is great uncertainty regarding the practice of immediate autologous breast reconstruction (IBR) when post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is indicated. Many plastic surgery units differ in their protocols, with some recommending delayed breast reconstruction (DBR) instead. Nevertheless, the cosmetic and psychosocial benefits offered by IBR are significant. The aim of this study was to comprehensively review and analyse existing literature to compare irradiated and unirradiated autologous flaps. Methods A comprehensive search in MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL databases was conducted in November 2020 for primary studies assessing outcomes of IBR with and without PMRT. Primary outcomes were the incidence of clinical complications, observer- and patient-reported outcomes. Meta-analyses were performed to obtain the pooled risk ratio of individual complications where possible. Results Twenty-one articles involving 3817 patients were included. Meta-analysis of pooled data demonstrated risk ratios for fat necrosis (RR=1.91, p<0.00001), secondary surgery (RR=1.62, p=0.03) and volume loss (RR=8.16, p<0.00001) favouring unirradiated flaps, but no significant difference in all other reported complications. The unirradiated group scored higher in observer-reported outcome measures, but self-reported aesthetic and general satisfaction rates were similar. Conclusions IBR should still be offered to patients as a viable option after mastectomy, even if they require PMRT. Despite the statistically significant higher risks of fat necrosis and contracture, these changes appear to be less clinically relevant, as corroborated by generally positive self-reported scores from patients who developed the aforementioned complications. Preoperative and intraoperative measures can further optimize reconstruction and mitigate post-radiation sequelae. Careful management of patients’ expectations is also imperative.

Abstract:
Objectives. This systematic review evaluates breast reconstruction options for women after mastectomy for breast cancer (or breast cancer prophylaxis). We addressed six Key Questions (KQs): (1) implant-based reconstruction (IBR) versus autologous reconstruction (AR), (2) timing of IBR and AR in relation to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, (3) comparisons of implant materials, (4) comparisons of anatomic planes for IBR, (5) use versus nonuse of human acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) during IBR, and (6) comparisons of AR flap types. Data sources and review methods. We searched Medline®, Embase®, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL®, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to March 23, 2021, to identify comparative and single group studies. We extracted study data into the Systematic Review Data Repository Plus (SRDR+). We assessed the risk of bias and evaluated the strength of evidence (SoE) using standard methods. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42020193183). Results. We found 8 randomized controlled trials, 83 nonrandomized comparative studies, and 69 single group studies. Risk of bias was moderate to high for most studies. KQ1: Compared with IBR, AR is probably associated with clinically better patient satisfaction with breasts and sexual well-being but comparable general quality of life and psychosocial well-being (moderate SoE, all outcomes). AR probably poses a greater risk of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (moderate SoE), but IBR probably poses a greater risk of reconstructive failure in the long term (1.5 to 4 years) (moderate SoE) and may pose a greater risk of breast seroma (low SoE). KQ 2: Conducting IBR either before or after radiation therapy may result in comparable physical well-being, psychosocial well-being, sexual well-being, and patient satisfaction with breasts (all low SoE), and probably results in comparable risks of implant failure/loss or need for explant surgery (moderate SoE). We found no evidence addressing timing of IBR or AR in relation to chemotherapy or timing of AR in relation to radiation therapy. KQ 3: Silicone and saline implants may result in clinically comparable patient satisfaction with breasts (low SoE). There is insufficient evidence regarding double lumen implants. KQ 4: Whether the implant is placed in the prepectoral or total submuscular plane may not be associated with risk of infections that are not explicitly implant related (low SoE). There is insufficient evidence addressing the comparisons between prepectoral and partial submuscular and between partial and total submuscular planes. KQ 5: The evidence is inconsistent regarding whether human ADM use during IBR impacts physical well-being, psychosocial well-being, or satisfaction with breasts. However, ADM use probably increases the risk of implant failure/loss or need for explant surgery (moderate SoE) and may increase the risk of infections not explicitly implant related (low SoE). Whether or not ADM is used probably is associated with comparable risks of seroma and unplanned repeat surgeries for revision (moderate SoE for both), and possibly necrosis (low SoE). KQ 6: AR with either transverse rectus abdominis (TRAM) or deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps may result in comparable patient satisfaction with breasts (low SoE), but TRAM flaps probably increase the risk of harms to the area of flap harvest (moderate SoE). AR with either DIEP or latissimus dorsi flaps may result in comparable patient satisfaction with breasts (low SoE), but there is insufficient evidence regarding thromboembolic events and no evidence regarding other surgical complications. Conclusion. Evidence regarding surgical breast reconstruction options is largely insufficient or of only low or moderate SoE. New high-quality research is needed, especially for timing of IBR and AR in relation to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, for comparisons of implant materials, and for comparisons of anatomic planes of implant placement.
