Development and Evaluation of a Machine Learning Prediction Model for Flap Failure in Microvascular Breast Reconstruction.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Despite high success rates, flap failure remains an inherent risk in microvascular breast reconstruction. Identifying patients who are at high risk for flap failure would enable us to recommend alternative reconstructive techniques. Howev...

Automatic detection of perforators for microsurgical reconstruction.

Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland)
The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) is the most commonly used free flap in mastectomy reconstruction. Preoperative imaging techniques are routinely used to detect location, diameter and course of perforators, with direct intervention from ...

Robot-assisted Nipple-sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Breast Reconstruction: An Initial Experience.

Scientific reports
Seeking smaller and indistinct incisions, physicians have attempted endoscopic breast surgery in breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, there are some limitations in the range of movement and visualization of the operation field. Potentially addressi...

A novel technique for robot assisted latissimus dorsi flap harvest.

Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery : JPRAS
BACKGROUND: A robotic surgery technique of harvesting the latissimus dorsi muscle flap has technical advantages over endoscopic harvest and cosmetic advantages over the open technique. The authors introduce a new transaxillary gasless technique using...

Predictive Modeling of Human Skin Deformation and Growth During Tissue Expansion in Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Breast reconstruction using tissue expanders is the primary treatment option following mastectomy. Although skin growth in response to chronic supra-physiological stretch is well-established, individual patient factors such as breast shape, volume, s...

Large language models in breast cancer reconstruction: A framework for patient-specific recovery and predictive insights.

SLAS technology
Breast cancer reconstruction, a vital part of comprehensive cancer therapy, can be performed concurrently with cancer resection, improving both physical and psychological recovery for patients. However, the intricacy and variety of recovery demand a ...

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence for Predicting Postoperative Complications in Breast Reduction Surgery: A Comprehensive Retrospective Analysis of Predictive Features and Outcomes.

Aesthetic surgery journal
BACKGROUND: Breast reduction is a common procedure with growing rates in the United States of America, aimed at alleviating the physical and psychological burdens of macromastia. Despite high success rates, it carries a risk of complications, with in...

Utility and Comparative Performance of Current Artificial Intelligence Large Language Models as Postoperative Medical Support Chatbots in Aesthetic Surgery.

Aesthetic surgery journal
BACKGROUND: Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the way plastic surgeons and their patients can access and leverage artificial intelligence (AI).
