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...
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...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Breast cancer is highly prevalent, with an increasing trend in women globally. Although the survival of breast cancer is relatively high, the recurrence rate is also high, demanding effective predictive solutions to breast cancer ...
Background Limited data are available regarding the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms trained on bilateral mammograms for second breast cancer surveillance in patients with a personal history of breast cancer treated with unilateral...
IMPORTANCE: Robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomies with multiport robots have been described in the US since 2015; however, significant hurdles to multiport robotic surgery exist in breast surgery.
