The microsurgical repair of sarcoma defects is a reliable option that, though not free of complications, is necessary in selected cases such as patients receiving neoadjuvant treatments and those with head and neck location and high-grade tumors. The procedure enables both adequate oncosurgical resection and function preservation. Our microsurgical sarcoma reconstruction data, based on an observation period of 12 years and presenting the results of 42 free tissue transfers in 41 patients, adds further evidence to the previously published smaller series.
The gastro-omental flap represents a useful method for reconstruction of the pharyngoesophageal segment in a surgical field compromised by previous multimodal therapy. Despite being useful, the complication rate is relevant.
Cada vez más, con el fin de alcanzar un resultado final integral óptimo, las Unidades de tratamiento del cáncer de mama requieren las habilidades de un cirujano plástico reconstructor. En nuestra Unidad, desde hace más de 20 años, se entiende como calidad asistencial la suma de competencia oncológica y habilidad reconstructiva. Por ello se incorpora como miembro integral del equipo clínico la figura del cirujano plástico, aportando criterios estéticos a la cirugía oncológica aplicando las técnicas de cirugía oncoplástica. En este artículo analizamos la evolución de la cirugía oncoplástica en los últimos 20 años, demostrando la importancia del cirujano plástico como miembro integral de Unidad de Patología Mamaria.
