Development of a Reflectance Photoplethysmographic Sensor used for the Assessment of Free Flap Perfusion [PDF]

, 2011
Monitoring of free flap perfusion and early identification of flap failure is an indispensable prerequisite for flap salvage. Although many methods of free flap monitoring are available, there is still no single reliable continuous non-invasive perfusion

Hypofractionated versus conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for breast cancer in patients with reconstructed breast

Malignancy Spectrum, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 173-185, December 2025.
Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent and destructive tumor in developing countries. The implementation of mammography screening programs has enabled access to appropriate therapeutic interventions, including adjuvant endocrine therapy and breast‐conserving surgery; earlier diagnosis translates into a wider survival‐rate range, making ...

Evolving Trends in Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction With Autologous Tissues: A Large‐Scale, 24‐Year Retrospective Study in China

Journal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 845-852, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) significantly improves quality of life following mastectomy. However, ABR has traditionally been underutilized compared to implant‐based breast reconstruction (IBBR), partly due to its technical complexity, longer operative time, and relatively limited reimbursement.
