Innovations in reconstructive mammoplasty

   The problem of breast cancer and the recovery period after the treatment - a serious topic of discussion around the world. After removal of the breast before doctors question is how to compensate for this woman, returning to her normal life.

Latest method of breast reconstruction using skin animal allows physicians to achieve maximum natural result without additional joints and skin grafts from other parts of the body. In carrying out such operations previously required "attract" a flap of skin from the back and abdomen, which significantly increased the trauma surgery and reduced the aesthetic result. By using a new material doctors can avoid these side effects and establish an implant without the risk of migration matrix is ​​used to strengthen the skin in those areas where there is shortage of it.

The so-called "animal skin" - is acellular dermal matrix, which is biologically neutral substitute for human skin. About the unique features of the new methodology says oncologist mammologist Ptukha Eugene: "The operation is to perform subcutaneous mastectomy: removal of the breast while preserving the skin. When we put the implant in a woman's body and cover the matrix, it behaves as its own tissue. Matrix provides a soft feel and does not allow the implant to fall out. This also reduces the size of the cuts and provides a good aesthetic result. For each operating case ordered a separate matrix. "

The method is still under development, but already more than ten women in Russia were operated on in this way. Report on its work and on the prospects of the method was presented by experts at the Medical Congress "Complex cases aesthetic mammoplasty", held in November 2012 in Moscow.

In the U.S., the development of the method are also involved in many doctors, among them - the plastic surgeon Dennis Hammond. According to him, the use of matrices - the future of reconstructive plastic surgery. As soon as you have accumulated enough material on the procedure, doctors all over the world will be able to evaluate the development of the Russian and American surgeons and learn from their experience
