    Abstract Autologous breast reconstruction is commonly performed after mastectomy and provides a natural replacement that mimics the native breast. Although current free flap success rates exceed 95%, total flap loss can be devastating for patients. As a result, new technologies have emerged to provide an objective means for flap monitoring, with the hope that vaso-occlusive events can be detected before the clinical manifestation of a microvascular complication and the no-reflow phenomenon. This article focuses on the available data for one new technology, near-infrared spectroscopy, and its current use in clinical practice.

    Abstract We report the development of a seroma deep to a mesh prosthesis used for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR). Seroma formation anterior to mesh after LVHR is very common; however, the formation of a deep seroma has been rarely reported in the literature and the imaging appearance of a seroma posterior to mesh after LVHR has not been previously described. We present the imaging appearance and our clinical results of aspirating two seromas posterior to mesh after LVHR.

    Abstract We report the diagnosis and repair of a chronic, iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia using minimally-invasive techniques. A 69-year-old man presented with intermittent abdominal and shoulder pain. He had previously undergone laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in which a grasper-induced puncture injury to the left hemidiaphragm was noted but not repaired. Radiographs and CT imaging diagnosed a left diaphragmatic hernia, with stomach herniated into the left thoracic cavity. This was repaired successfully via an intra-abdominal laparoscopic approach. This case represents the potential importance of repairing post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia at the time that they occur, as well as a minimally invasive means for their repair.

    Abstract Occurrence of parastomal hernia is considered a near inevitable consequence of stoma formation, making their management a common clinical dilemma. This article reviews the outcomes of different surgical approaches for hernia repair and describes in detail the laparoscopic Sugarbaker technique, which has been shown to have lower recurrence rates than other methods. Also reviewed is the current literature on the impact of prophylactic mesh placement during ostomy formation.

    Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and biologically aggressive neuroendocrine tumour of the skin. Recent analysis of a surveillance, epidemiology and end results program has shown a statistically significant increase of 8% per year in the age-adjusted rates for MCC of the skin over the past 15 years. MCC commonly presents as a painless, rapidly growing, single red or purple cutaneous nodule. Diagnosis is often delayed until histopathological examination due to the relative rarity of the disease. MCC-specific immunohistochemical markers are available for definitive diagnosis, including anticytokeratin-20-positive stain and thyroid transcription factor-1-negative stains. Because there are no phase III trials to guide management, treatment is often tailored to the individual patient by integrating surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

    Abstract Immediate breast implant reconstruction has among the highest incidence of infections in plastic surgery. A literature search returned key articles that showed a significant decrease in surgical-site infections by performing nasal swab evaluation to treat methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus before surgery with mupirocin nasal ointment and 5 days of chlorhexidine scrub to the surgical area. Additional Level 1 data supported the use of chlorhexidine-alcohol over povidone-iodine solutions for skin preparation. Intraoperative data on breast pocket irrigation showed the benefits of povidone-iodine as well as a triple antibiotic solution. Nasal swabs from 120 patients showed no methicillin-resistant S. aureus but did identify 10 patients with methicillin-sensitive S. aureus, 1 with streptococcus, and 3 with gram-negative rods, which changed perioperative antibiotic management. On the basis of the previously mentioned data, an evidence-based protocol for infection control was developed to potentially decrease infection rates. Further cost and efficacy data are warranted.

    Abstract Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumor with cytologic behavior between angiosarcoma and hemangioma. We present the case of a 58-year-old male with primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the distal radius measuring 6.2 × 5 cm with extension into the pronator quadratus and brachioradialis muscles. We discuss our approach to performing a limb-sparing resection combined with reconstruction to preserve upper extremity function. A review of the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is also presented.

    Abstract Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications of abdominal surgery, with a reported occurrence rate of up to 20% after laparotomy. The high incidence of hernia formation significantly contributes to both patient morbidity and health care costs. Although a variety of approaches have been described to repair these defects, historically the results have been disappointing. Recurrence rates after primary repair have been reported to range from 24% to 54%. The recent advent of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) has offered promising outcomes by combining tension-free repair using a prosthesis with minimally invasive techniques, lowering reported recurrence rates to <10%. This review discusses standardized, well-researched techniques that have contributed to the success of LVHR. We also discuss how these techniques have been modified for laparoscopic repair of suprapubic lumbar hernias, hernias near the iliac crest, and parastomal hernias. In addition, we review our own experience with LVHR in the context of the principles discussed.

    Abstract Background: There is little data examining the psychosocial characteristics of women who choose a type of autologous postmastectomy reconstruction. This study sought to investigate the role of personality on decision making and postoperative satisfaction in autologous breast reconstruction.
    Patients and methods: A retrospective survey of 120 consecutive patients who had undergone transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) or perforator flap (PF) reconstruction over a 4-year period by a single surgeon at a single academic institution. All patients underwent similar preoperative consultations and were categorized into one of four groups based on surgical procedure they chose and their PF candidacy as determined by body mass index, age, and laterality. The survey packet included three validated measures of personality indices and a quality-of-life questionnaire. Intergroup analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.
    Results: The overall survey response rate was 52.5%. PF patients were younger (p = 0.007) and more likely to undergo bilateral reconstruction (p = 0.0009) relative to TRAM patients. Comparisons between the two most clinically extreme groups showed significant results with regard to personality testing. Patients who were deemed not ideal PF candidates but nevertheless chose PF reconstruction were shown to be more narcissistic (p = 0.033), extroverted (p = 0.024), and having a higher postoperative quality of life (p = 0.021) than those who were deemed ideal PF candidates but ended up choosing pedicled TRAM reconstruction.
    Conclusion: Specific personality traits play a role in the patients' choice of a reconstructive option and their overall postoperative satisfaction. Clinicians should be aware of the possible influence of personality type on surgery selection.
