| 59 | Intra-lesional ACE Inhibitor for Treatment of Keloid Scars PF:2 Related Papers Related Patents Related Grants Related Experts View Highlight: Keloid scarring is a difficult and debilitating condition where one develops excessive scarring after incision or laceration to the skin. Currently, there is no reliable treatment of these scars. One of the more effective treatments available is serial intralesional injection of a steroid after 90% excision of the keloid scar. Angiotensin II is an active peptide in the body that results in vasoconstriction of the blood vessels when activated. Medications used today like angiotensin II receptor blocks and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors work to prevent the activation of angiotensin II and are mainly used to help control blood pressure. Previous studies in rat models have shown that angiotensin II receptor blockers can effectively reduce scar hypertrophy (a hallmark of keloid scarring). In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomized control trial, with one arm receiving the standard therapy of 90% excision of the keloid scar with serial intra-lesional injections of triamcinolone injection and the second arm receiving a combination of triamcinolone + ACE-inhibitor. The outcome will be measured using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), a validated assessment tool. |

B-Lite® Light Weight Breast Implant for Reconstructive Surgery After Total Mastectomy and Post-Mastectomy Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial PF:2 Related Papers Related Patents Related Grants Related Experts View Highlight: Reconstructive surgery with breast implants after total mastectomy for breast cancer is invariably related to several possible complications, such as atrophy of surrounding tissues, skin thinning, capsular contracture, wound dehiscence and inframammary fold break. Such complications are promoted by elastic properties of tissues and their response to gravity forces exerted on breast implant weight, leading to microischaemic events. A poor cosmetic outcome may result up to breast implant exposure, and its removal may become necessary, thus compromising the quality of breast reconstruction. These complications are further favoured by post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT), … |

A Randomised Controlled Feasibility Study Related Papers Related Patents Related Grants Related Experts View Highlight: Sometimes women have more than one breast cancer in the same breast at the same time. These women are usually offered a mastectomy (removal of that breast) and breast reconstruction. It may be possible to treat these patients by removing each cancer using breast-saving surgery (lumpectomies), used for women with only one breast cancer. Databases show that women who had lumpectomies did well, but they may have been healthier before the surgery than those who had a mastectomy. The investigators need to be sure that lumpectomy is effective, safe, and acceptable for this patient group before making it universally available. |

| 219 | A Prospective, Randomised Double Blinded Study Comparing A Pectoral Nerve Block With Non-targeted Local Anaesthetic in Bilateral Breast Surgery PF:2 Related Papers Related Patents Related Grants Related Experts View Highlight: Effective postoperative pain control is an essential component of surgery. Adequate analgesia improves patient comfort and satisfaction, thereby permitting earlier mobilisation, faster recovery and less likelihood of complications.The majority of surgeons will place 10ml of local anaesthetic into the breast pocket or inject it into the breast skin following breast surgery. A more specific technique is to identify the nerves supplying the breast and put the local anaesthetic directly around them (Pec block). This nerve block has recently been described and is increasingly being used by anaesthetists for surgery under local anaesthetic or for post-operative analgesia. It has been shown to provide better and more specific pain relief in several studies. Anaesthetists use an ultrasound machine to identify the anatomical landmarks for the nerves and they inject into the vicinity. They do not have direct vision and there is a risk of causing morbidity or the block not being effective. It is much easier for a surgeon to apply the block, as they can see the anatomical landmarks. Despite this, very few surgeons are aware of the technique. The study group consists of patients undergoing bilateral cosmetic breast surgery at BMI Edgbaston and Priory hospitals and Spire Parkway and Southbank hospitals in Birmingham and Worcester. If a patient consents to being involved in the research, they will have one breast randomised to receiving a pec block and the contralateral (opposite) breast will receive the same amount of local anaesthetic placed in the breast pocket in a non-targeted fashion. The patients and researcher will be blinded as to the allocation. Patients will complete a verbal numeric pain score for each breast at set intervals until they are discharged.In addition, the investigators will specifically ask which breast is the most painful at each time point. The results of the study may improve patient care. |

| 313 | Postoperative Antibiotic Requirements Following Immediate Breast Reconstruction PF:3 Related Papers Related Patents Related Grants Related Experts View Highlight: Antibiotics are used routinely in postoperative tissue expander based breast reconstruction (TE) and autologous flap (AF) breast reconstruction procedures. Closed suction drains are also used routinely in immediate breast reconstruction to prevent fluid accumulation and seroma formation at the surgical sites. Antibiotics are most often prescribed as a precaution since drains can be a source for infection by creating open channels to outside contaminants. Plastic surgery patients without closed suction drainage devices are usually not placed on prolonged postoperative antibiotics. Current preoperative surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for up to 24 hours only. These recommendations do not take into account the increased risk of indwelling closed suction drains. A recent survey of plastic surgeons, conducted by SBUMC investigators, (IRB# 129415) found that Plastic Surgeons are divided as to extended outpatient administration following TE breast reconstruction. The study plans to prospectively enroll patients who will undergo immediate breast reconstruction with TE or AF based breast reconstruction. Using the above data and the current protocol, the investigators will investigate the optimal antibiotic discontinuation period for these patients. The investigators hypothesize that the use of 24-hour perioperative antibiotics in TE or AF based immediate breast reconstruction with closed suction drainage, does not result in an increased infection rate compared to prolonged postoperative antibiotic administration. |
