Comparison of Outcomes in Immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Acellu...
Mata Ribeiro, L; Meireles, R; Brito, I; Costa, P; Rebelo, M; Barbosa, R; Choupina, M; Pinho, C; Ribeiro, MBackground Implant-based breast reconstruction has evolved tremendously in the last decades, mainly due to the development of new products and techniques that make the procedure safer and more reliable. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes in immediate one-stage breast reconstruction between acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and inferior dermal flap (IDF). Methods We conducted a retrospective compa...

Mata Ribeiro, L; Meireles, R; Brito, I; Costa, P; Rebelo, M; Barbosa, R; Choupina, M; Pinho, C; Ribeiro, MBackground This study aimed to analyze the effect of body mass index (BMI), age, and tobacco use on alloplastic breast reconstruction. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of patients who submitted to immediate breast reconstructions with an anatomical implant and acellular dermal matrix in a single center between 2016 and 2018. Outcomes evaluated included immediate complications, early complications, rei...

Orbital Exenteration for Eyelid Skin Carcinoma
Guerra, AS; Barbosa, R; Choupina, M; Pinho, C; Ribeiro, M; Pontes, LExenteration of the orbit is a disfiguring and destructive procedure; it is generally performed for orbital malignancies and often provides a significant reconstructive challenge. Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical indications for orbital exenteration in a tertiary referral center and to assess the reconstructive options employed. A retrospective nonrandomized analysis was performed, selecting all patient...

Costa, H; Pinto, A; Cunha, C; Conde, A; Guimarães, I; Pinho, C; Martins, A; Amarante, JThe authors present the experience of 24 clinical cases of microsurgical reconstruction of the upper limb. These reconstructions were accomplished by different microvascular free flaps which were selected according to the type, size and location of the defects, having applied fasciocutaneous, adipofascial, myo, myocutaneous, tendofasciocutaneous, omentum flaps and 2nd toe transfers. The etiology was traumatic i...
