- Outcome Analysis of Immediate and Delayed Conservative Breast Surgery Reconstruction With Mastopexy and Reduction Mammaplasty Techniques(2011) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; ALDRIGHI, Claudia Maria; MONTAG, Eduardo; ARRUDA, Eduardo; BRASIL, Jose Augusto; FILASSI, Jose Roberto; ALDRIGHI, Jose Mendes; GEMPERLI, Rolf; FERREIRA, Marcus CastroBackground: Bilateral mammaplasty or mastopexy is frequently used for oncoplastic objectives. However, little information has been available regarding outcome following immediate and delayed reconstruction. Method: Patients were divided into Group I (immediate reconstruction) and Group II (delayed reconstruction). Retrospective review was performed to compare complications, length of hospital stay, revision surgeries, and satisfaction. The associations between the complications with potential risk factors (timing, age, body mass index, smoking, and comorbid medical conditions) were analyzed. Results: There were a total of 144 patients with a mean follow-up of 47 months. Of the 106 patients in Group I, complications occurred in 24 (22.6%), skin necrosis was observed in 7.5%, fat necrosis in 5.6%, and 6.6% patients developed local recurrence. Mean period of hospitalization was 1.89 days. Of the 38 patients of the Group II, complications occurred in 12 (31.5%), skin necrosis was observed in 7 (18.4%), fat necrosis in 4 (10.5%), and 5.2% patients developed local recurrence. Mean period of hospitalization was 1.35 days. Increased length of hospital stay greater than 1 day (P < 0.001) and the number of revision surgeries (P = 0.043) were associated with the timing of the reconstruction. In univariate analysis, no difference between groups was found with respect to complication incidence (P = 0.275); however, after adjusting for other risk factors, the probability of complications tend to be higher for Group II (OR = 2.65; 95% confidence interval - 1.01-7.00; P = 0.049). Conclusions: On the basis of the results of our study, the probability of complications tends to be higher for delayed reconstructions, and it is demonstrated that obesity and smoking are risk factors for complications. Ultimately, these data may facilitate the provision of individualized risk information for shared medical decision-making.
article 13 Citação(ões) na Scopus Current Approaches to Managing Partial Breast Defects: The Role of Conservative Breast Surgery Reconstruction(2014) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendoca; MONTAG, Eduardo; FILASSI, Jose Roberto; GEMPERLI, RolfRecently breast surgeons can offer patients a variety of treatment and reconstructive alternatives when early breast cancer is diagnosed. In fact, advances in reconstructive techniques have reduced surgical trauma and thus are capable of preserving the breast form as well as quality of life. Depending on a variety of different factors, including stage, tumor size, location, hystological type, but also breast volume, a reconstructive schedule is established. The main techniques are related to volume displacement or replacement procedures including local flaps, latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and reduction mammaplasty/ masthopexy. Regardless of the fact that there are is no consensus over the best approach, the criteria are determined by the surgeon's experience and the size of the defect in relation to the size of the remaining breast. Aim of every reconstructive procedure decision should be breast preservation and an adequate aesthetic outcome. Additionally, reconstruction permits wider excision of the tumor, with a superior mean volume of the specimen and potentially reducing the incidence of margin involvement. The objective of this review is to give an overview of reconstructive modalities for conservative breast surgery, based not only on traditional but also on the latest studies regarding the outcome of the main techniques employed. Surgical approaches, as well as conservative treatment options, such as lumpectomy and quadrantectomy, are further discussed. Surgical planning should include the patients' preferences, while chiefly addressing individual reconstructive requirements, and enabling each patient to receive an individual ""custom-made"" reconstruction.- Liposuction Induces a Compensatory Increase of Visceral Fat Which Is Effectively Counteracted by Physical Activity: A Randomized Trial(2012) BENATTI, Fabiana; SOLIS, Marina; ARTIOLI, Guilherme; MONTAG, Eduardo; PAINELLI, Vitor; SAITO, Fabio; BAPTISTA, Luciana; COSTA, Luiz Augusto; NEVES, Rodrigo; SEELAENDER, Marilia; FERRIOLLI, Eduardo; PFRIMER, Karina; LIMA, Fernanda; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, Bruno; LANCHA JR., AntonioContext: Liposuction is suggested to result in long-term body fat regain that could lead to increased cardiometabolic risk. We hypothesized that physical activity could prevent this effect. Objective: Our objective was to investigate the effects of liposuction on body fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk factors in women who were either exercise trained or not after surgery. Design, Setting, and Participants: Thirty-six healthy normal-weight women participated in this 6-month randomized controlled trial at the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Interventions: Patients underwent a small-volume abdominal liposuction. Two months after surgery, the subjects were randomly allocated into two groups: trained (TR, n = 18, 4-month exercise program) and nontrained (NT, n = 18). Main Outcome Measures: Body fat distribution (assessed by computed tomography) was assessed before the intervention (PRE) and 2 months (POST2), and 6 months (POST6) after surgery. Secondary outcome measures included body composition, metabolic parameters and dietary intake, assessed at PRE, POST2, and POST6, and total energy expenditure, physical capacity, and sc adipocyte size and lipid metabolism-related gene expression, assessed at PRE and POST6. Results: Liposuction was effective in reducing sc abdominal fat (PRE vs. POST2, P = 0.0001). Despite the sustained sc abdominal fat decrement at POST6 (P = 0.0001), the NT group showed a significant 10% increase in visceral fat from PRE to POST6 (P = 0.04; effect size = -0.72) and decreased energy expenditure (P = 0.01; effect size = 0.95) when compared with TR. Dietary intake, adipocyte size, and gene expression were unchanged over time. Conclusion: Abdominal liposuction does not induce regrowth of fat, but it does trigger a compensatory increase of visceral fat, which is effectively counteracted by physical activity.

Among available techniques, the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap is the least invasive procedure because it does not require harvesting or incision of the rectus muscle or the abdominal fascia. Besides adequate flap choice, the proper selection of the recipient vessels is an important factor. Thus, the internal mammary perforator branches (IMPBs) have been an attractive option regarding recipient pedicle morbidity. METHODS: The investigators reported the use of the free SIEA flap with the IMPBs as a recipient site to reconstruct radical mastectomy. RESULTS: Five patients with invasive ductal carcinoma underwent modified radical mastectomy and reconstruction. The IMPBs were selected as the recipient site and a free SIEA flap was used. The donor defect was closed directly without synthetic mesh. Satisfactory breast shape was achieved, and no complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: For selected patients, the SIEA flap and IMPBs may constitute a new alternative for immediate breast reconstruction, because of the possibility of large tissue transfer with minimal donor and recipient area morbidity. The SIEA pedicle size and the quality of IMPB vessels should be carefully evaluated.
- The Liposuction-Induced Effects on Adiponectin and Selected Cytokines Are Not Affected by Exercise Training in Women(2014) SOLIS, Marina Yazigi; ARTIOLI, Guilherme Giannini; MONTAG, Eduardo; PAINELLI, Vitor de Salles; SAITO, Fabio Lopes; LIMA, Fernanda Rodrigues; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, Bruno; LANCHA JUNIOR, Antonio Herbert; BENATTI, Fabiana BragaIt has been suggested that the abrupt liposuction-induced decrease in adipose tissue could affect adipokine secretion pattern. We hypothesized that exercise training could positively impact adipokine metabolism following liposuction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of liposuction on inflammation-related adipokines in women who were either exercise-trained or remained sedentary after surgery. Thirty-six healthy normal-weight women underwent an abdominal liposuction and two months after surgery were randomly allocated into two groups: trained (TR, n = 18, four-month exercise program) and nontrained (NT, n = 18). Inflammation-related adipokine serum levels (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, and adiponectin) and abdominal and thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue (scAT) mRNA levels were assessed before (PRE) and six months after surgery (POST6). TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-10 serum levels were unchanged in both groups. In contrast, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-10 mRNA levels in scAT were increased, whereas adiponectin scAT mRNA and serum levels were decreased at POST6 (P < 0.05, main effect for time). No changes were observed in mRNA levels of MCP-1, CD14, and CD68 in any of the groups. In conclusion, liposuction downregulates adiponectin scAT gene expression and serum levels and upregulates scAT gene expression of inflammation-related genes six months after surgery in normal-weight women, irrespective of exercise training.
- Optimizing Outcomes in Free Flap Breast Reconstruction in the Community Hospital Setting: A Stepwise Approach to DIEP/SIEA Flap Procedures with Banking a Hemiabdominal Flap(2017) OKADA, Alberto; PEREIRA, Diego Daniel; MONTAG, Eduardo; PORTOCARRERO, Marcelo; FELICIO, Carlos; ARRUDA, Eduardo Gustavo; FONSECA, Alexandre; GEMPERLI, Rolf; MUNHOZ, Alexandre MendoncaBackground Free flap breast reconstruction is a conventional procedure in many countries; however, microvascular compromise remains a devastating outcome. Given the morbidity of total necrosis, optimizing free flap salvage stands out as an important area for research, especially among surgeons to overcome the learning curve period and in resource constrained scenario such as community hospitals. To ensure free deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP)/superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap breast reconstruction, the authors present a technique involving raising a hemiabdominal flap as a free flap, and banking the remaining flap to be utilized if needed in a subsequent procedure. Methods A retrospective review was performed on all free flap breast reconstructions. In this period, 84 patients (mean age: 50.18 years) were included. Results In this study, 65.5% patients underwent immediate reconstruction, and 51.2% received DIEP reconstruction; 9.52% patients were returned to the operating room, and salvage reconstruction using the banked flap was performed in all patients. No differences were observed regarding early complications and age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, diabetes, smoking history, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and type of flap used ( p >0.05). Hypertension was significantly associated with early complications ( p <0.05). Donor-site complications were associated with RT ( p <0.05). Conclusion The banked flap is a reliable method for ensuring DIEP/SIEA flap survival and should be considered in higher risk reconstructions and community hospitals. We believe that the present technique can be a good addition to the arsenal of plastic surgeons dealing with free flap breast reconstructions in selected patients.
- Impact of Fat Graft Thickness and Harvesting Technique on Adipocyte Viability in a New Porcine Experimental Model: An Immunohistochemical Analysis(2021) ARRUDA, Eduardo Gustavo Pires de; MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; MATSUMOTO, Walter; UEDA, Thiago; MONTAG, Eduardo; OKADA, Alberto; COUDRY, Renata de Almeida; CASTRO, Isac de; GEMPERLI, RolfBackground: Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has been employed in surgical practice as a filling method. However, controversies remain on the specifics of this technique. So far, few relevant experimental large animal studies have objectively assessed factors related to AFG integration. Objectives: This study utilized an experimental, medium-sized animal model to compare the feasibility of AFG collected employing 2 different techniques with instruments of distinct thicknesses. Methods: Twenty minipigs (Sus scropha domesticus) were subjected to AFG harvesting via en bloc resection utilizing 3-(Group I) and 5-mm-diameter (Group II) round punch blades (PBs) and liposuction (LS) with 3- (Group III) and 5-mm-diameter cannulas (Group IV). Both samples were grafted intramuscularly (biceps femoralis). Hematoxylin and eosin staining was employed to identify intact adipocytes, fat necrosis, fibrosis, inflammation, and oil cysts. Immunohistochemical staining (perilipin-A, tumor necrosis factor alfa, and cluster of differentiation number 31) was utilized to quantify the feasibility of adipocytes, tissue necrosis, and neoangiogenesis, respectively. Results: Hematoxylin and eosin analysis showed that fat necrosis and histiocyte presence were significantly lower in the AFG harvested utilizing a PB than in LS. For perilipin-A, a statistical difference was observed between subgroups I and III (P = 0.001) and I and IV (P = 0.004). Instrument diameter had no effect on graft integration in comparisons between groups II and III (P = 0.059) and II and IV (P = 0.132). Conclusions: In this experimental study, fat collected utilizing a PB demonstrated higher adipocyte viability than fat collected with LS. The diameter of the collection instruments, whether PB or LS, had no effect on graft integration.
- INTERNAL MAMMARY PERFORATOR VESSELS AS RECIPIENT SITE FOR MICROSURGICAL BREAST RECONSTRUCTION: A COMPARATIVE HISTOMORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND INCIDENCE OF DEGENERATIVE VASCULAR CHANGES(2014) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; ISHIDA, Luis H.; MONTAG, Eduardo; SAITO, Fabio L.; MENDES, Marcio; ALVES, Helio; GEMPERLI, RolfBackgroundIn microsurgical breast reconstruction, an adequate selection of recipient vessels is crucial for a successful outcome. Although the internal mammary (IM) vessels offer an attractive option, the internal mammary perforator (IMP) vessels are becoming a reliable alternative. The purpose of this study is to investigate the external diameters, lumen area, and atherosclerotic lesions changes of the IMP, IM, and deep inferior epigastric (DIE) vessels through quantitative and qualitative histomorphometric analysis. MethodsNinety-six vessels of bilateral IM, IMP, and DIE vessels from 16 fresh female cadavers were evaluated. Mean age was 54.065.7 years. External diameters, lumen area, and degenerative changes of the tunica intimae and media were analyzed by qualitative histomorphometric analysis. ResultsSeventy-one vessels (20 IM, 31 IMP, and 20 DIE vessels) were included in the final histological analysis. A statistically lower external diameters and lumen area were presented by the IMP. The DIE vessels showed a lower incidence (10%) of moderate and severe intimal layer degenerative changes (P=0.0589). The IMP and DIE vessels showed a lower incidence (9.4 and 25%, respectively) of major media layer degenerative changes (P=0.0001). No major arterial degenerative lesions were observed in the IMP arteries. ConclusionAlthough the IMP external diameters and lumen area were lower than the IM, the results of this study indicated that the tunica media layer in the IMP is less damaged than the other recipient vessels. The results of the comparative histological study permitted to describe additional advantages and disadvantages of using IMP as a recipient vessel for free flap breast reconstruction.
