Steffen N et al. Implicações da mamoplastia de aumento via transaxilar na pesquisa de linfonodo sentinela: revisão da literatura Implications of transaxillary breast augmentation in the sentinel lymph node detection: literature review RESUMO Introdução: A pesquisa do linfonodo sentinela é o tratamento padrão para o estadiamento da axila em pacientes com câncer de mama precoce, e sua identificação pode evitar um esvaziamento axilar desnecessário. A incidência de câncer de mama vem aumentando a cada ano, concomitantemente, a mamoplastia de aumento transaxilar vem ganhando cada vez mais adeptos. Objetivo: Revisão bibliográfica com vistas a avaliar se a mamoplastia de aumento transaxilar poderia modificar a drenagem linfática e prejudicar a identificação do linfonodo sentinela. Método: Revisão da literatura. Conclusão: A maioria dos estudos tende a excluir a hipótese de que a mamoplastia de aumento transaxilar possa afetar a identificação do linfonodo sentinela no futuro.

ABSTRACT
Background:The Rieger's flap was first described by its eponym, in 1967, as a good option for coverage of dorsal nasal soft-tissue defects. Objectives: To evaluate aesthetic results and patient satisfaction after nasal reconstruction with Rieger's flap. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 10 patients who underwent the procedure in 2009. We evaluated the aesthetic results using photographic analysis and satisfaction score according to the patients' complaints. Results: The mean age was 67 years old. A total of 7 men and 3 women underwent the procedure in 2009. The overall photographic aesthetic result score was 8.9; the overall satisfaction score was 9.0. Conclusion: The Rieger's flap is a good option for coverage of defects of the medium/distal nasal dorsum that are less than 2.0 cm in diameter. When performed on selected patients, the Rieger's flap is an aesthetically predictable one-stage procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
