+General Tips:\\
+\\
+==== Breast Reduction (Superiomedial Pedicle) ====
+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP half column>
+Operative Report:\\
+. Superiomedial Bilateral Breast Reduction\\
+\\
+The patient was marked preoperatively in the holding area in an upright standing position for anatomic landmarks as well as a wise pattern breast reduction using a standard template. The limbs were made slightly longer to accommodate the superiomedial pedicle.\\
+\\
+The patient was brought into the operating room and placed in the supine position.  All bony prominences were padded and the SCDs were on and functioning prior to the induction of anesthesia.  All lines were obtained and secured and the patient was intubated and sedated as per protocol. The patient received preoperative antibiotics prior to surgical incision.   A timeout was performed with the entire team and the patient was then prepped with chloroprep and draped in the standard fashion.\\
+\\
+A near identical procedure was performed on both breasts. All resected tissues were saved and sent to Pathology for routine histologic examination.\\
+\\
+A 42mm cookie cutter was used to mark a new ideal nipple areolar complex size.  A 9 cm superomedial pedicle was then de-epithelialized using 10 blade. The superomedial pedicle was then dissected away from the surrounding breast tissue down to the chest wall using electrocautery. The nipple was pink and viable during this process.  Skin flaps were elevated at full thickness as appropriate. I then removed the medial, inferior and then lateral breast tissue from the wise pattern outline. A small amount of back cut was utilized to allow the pedicle to rotate into the new nipple position. Once the resected specimen was removed the skin was tailor tacked with a stapler.\\
+\\
+I then turned my attention to the contralateral breast and an identical procedure was performed.  Upon completion of the contralateral resection, the patient was sat in an upright sitting position to assess for size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts.  All necessary adjustments were subsequently made to achieve excellent symmetry. The new nipple position was also selected at the most projecting part of the breast. Meticulous hemostasis and copious irrigation was then performed. 30cc of 0.5% Marcaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine was infiltrated in the pectoralis major muscle fascia for perioperative analgesia.\\
+\\
+The IMF, vertical limbs and periareolar incision were then closed with 3-0 monocryl into the dermis followed by a 4-0 running monocryl intracuticular. A 15F drain was placed into both breasts and secured with a 2-0 nylon at the lateral aspect of the incision. Dermabond was then applied all incisions.  Prineo was utilized for the triple point. The nipples were viable at the end of the procedure and the breasts soft.  She was placed into a surgical bra with ABDs. The patient tolerated this procedure without complication, and postoperatively she was extubated and brought to the recovery room in stable and satisfactory condition.

+A near identical procedure was performed on both breasts. All resected tissues were saved and sent to Pathology for routine histologic examination.\\
+\\
+A 42mm cookie cutter was used to mark a new ideal nipple areolar complex size.  A 8 cm wide inferior pedicle was then de-epithelialized using 10 blade. The inferior pedicle was then dissected away from the surrounding breast tissue down to the chest wall using electrocautery. The nipple was pink and viable during this process.  Skin flaps were elevated at approximately 2 cm thickness. I then removed the medial, lateral and then superior breast tissue from the wise pattern outline.  There are some medial fullness left in order to maintain an aesthetically pleasing result.  Once the resected specimen was removed the skin was tailor tacked with a stapler.\\

+Operative Report:\\
+. Nipple Reconstruction\\
+\\
+The patient was brought into the operating room and placed in the supine position after intubation.  All bony prominences were padded and the SCDs were on and functioning prior to the induction of anesthesia.  All lines were obtained and secured and the patient was intubated and sedated as per protocol. The patient received preoperative antibiotics prior to surgical incision.   A timeout was performed with the entire team and the patient was then prepped and draped in the standard fashion.\\
+\\
+In the preoperative suite, I marked her nipple location at the meridian and X cm from her sternal notch.  This was also in the most projecting portion of the breast.  The sites were confirmed with the patient.  In the operating room C-V flaps with a base of 1.5cm and wings of 2.5 cm were designed - these were Superior vs Inferior  based incorporating her prior scar. The flaps were raised from distal to proximal, gradually increasing the flap thickness to the base.  There was healthy bleeding throughout.  The wings were then wrapped around the base and sutured together with 4-0 chromics.  The cap was sutured down with a 4-0 chromic.  The donor site was closed with 3-0 and then 4-0 monocryl.\\
+\\
+I then applied bacitracin and placed a protective sponge cap around the nipple.  This was held in place with tape.\\

+==== Augmentation/Mastopexy ====
+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP half column>
+Operative Report:\\
+. Bilateral revision mastopexy/augmentation with complete capsulectomy during implant removal\\
+\\
+The patient was marked preoperatively in the holding area in an upright standing position for anatomic landmarks as well as a wise pattern breast reduction using a standard template. The limbs were made slightly longer to accommodate the shape of new implants.\\
+\\
+The patient was brought into the operating room and placed in the supine position.  All bony prominences were padded and the SCDs were on and functioning prior to the induction of anesthesia.  All lines were obtained and secured and the patient was intubated and sedated as per protocol. The patient received preoperative antibiotics prior to surgical incision.   A timeout was performed with the entire team and the patient was then prepped with chloroprep and draped in the standard fashion.\\
+\\
+A near identical procedure was performed on both breasts.\\
+\\
+We began using the lateral limb of the Wise pattern incision bilaterally to access the submuscular current implant pocket.  The capsule was kept intact for the entire procedure whereby we dissected it free from the current pocket in all positions. This was performed with electrocautery and lighted retractor. The entire capsule was then removed and sent to pathology bilaterally. The implants were X implants bilaterally. The left was noted to be intact whereas the right was ruptured. Following removal of the implants the breasts were washed out thoroughly with saline. We then placed a SS sizer into the pocket. The breast was tailor tacked to approximate a wise pattern mastopexy.\\
+\\
+A 42mm cookie cutter was used to mark a new ideal nipple areolar complex size since it was too large.  The skin was then resected in a wise pattern with careful attention to symmetry. The nipple was pink and viable during this process.  The patient was sat in an upright sitting position to assess for size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts.  All necessary adjustments were subsequently made to achieve excellent symmetry.\\
+\\
+We elected to choose a SS which was placed into the previous submuscular augmentation pocket as this had the proper dimensions as well as produced the nicest aesthetic result. The pocket was washed out thoroughly and rinsed with betadine. The parenchymal opening was closed with 2-0 vicryl.\\
+\\
+The IMF, vertical limbs and periareolar incision were then closed with 3-0 monocryl into the dermis followed by a 4-0 running monocryl intracuticular. Prineo was utilized IMF incisions and dermabond for the rest. The nipples were viable at the end of the procedure and the breasts soft.  She was placed into a surgical bra with ABDs. The patient tolerated this procedure without complication, and postoperatively she was extubated and brought to the recovery room in stable and satisfactory condition.\\

+==== Latissiumus Flap ====
+<WRAP group>
+<WRAP half column>
+Operative Report:\\
+.  Latissimus dorsi pedicled flap,  split thickness skin graft, wound vacuum placement\\
+\\
+The patient was marked in the preoperative area for anatomic landmarks of the latissimus including axillary line lateral border of the muscle posterior superior iliac spine and posterior midline as well as the scapular tip.\\
+\\
+The patient was brought into the operating room and placed in the lateral decubitus position.  All bony prominences were padded and the SCDs were on and functioning prior to the induction of anesthesia.  All lines were obtained and secured and the patient was intubated and sedated as per protocol. The patient received preoperative antibiotics prior to surgical incision. A timeout was performed with the entire team and the patient was then prepped and draped in the standard sterile fashion.\\
+\\
+An incision was made from the axilla to the back along the axis of the latissimus muscle using a 10 blade scalpel.  Electrocautery was used to elevate skin flaps anteriorly and posteriorly and to clearly identified the latissimus muscle.  The anterior border of the latissimus muscle was identified and was dissected free from the serratus. The latissimus was then circumferentially dissected initially anteriorly then inferiorly and posteriorly.  Once these 3 borders were freed.  The muscle was elevated from distal to proximal.  All large perforators were clipped with medium ligaclips. The pedicle was identified at its entry into the muscle along with the serratus vascular pedicle.  The pedicle was dissected to allow adequate rotation into the wound with minimal tension. The donor site was then irrigated with normal saline and then closed over two 15 blake drains and secured to the skin with 2-0 nylon. The wound was closed with 2-0 Vicryl into the Scarpa's layer, 2-0 V-loc PDO suture for the deep dermal layer followed by a 3-0 monocryl suture for the subcuticular layer.  The donor site was then dressed with Dermabond and an OpSite dressing.\\
+\\
+Attention was then paid to flap inset.  The latissimus flap was spread out to cover the entire wound and provide sufficient dead space fill.  It was then secured into position using a 2-0 Vicryl suture in a parachuting fashion horizontal mattress through the skin.  This was performed at multiple points along the entire periphery of the flap.  A 15 French Blake drain was placed underneath the flap and secured to the skin with a 2-0 nylon.\\
+\\
+The wound measured approximately X cm x Xcm. A template was created and then transferred to the thigh and a dermatome set at 12 one thousandth of an inch thickness was used to obtain a STSG.  The skin graft was then meshed at 1:1.5.  It was placed on the wound bed and secured with 4-0 chromic suture. A VAC dressing was then applied over adaptec and the graft then placed at 125mmHg continuous. Minimal leak was noted. Of note this VAC was a inpatient version which is durable medical equipment and not disposable and will remain in position for 5 days while the patient is admitted to the hospital. The lower leg was then wrapped with a loose kerlix and ACE warp. The donor site was managed with mepliex dressing and then wrapped with a large ACE.\\

+<WRAP half column>
+Operative Report:\\
+. Gynecomastia correction with VASER liposuction\\
+\\
+The patient was marked preoperatively in the holding area in an upright standing position for anatomic landmarks, topography, and breast footprint.\\
+\\
+The patient was brought into the operating room and placed in the supine position.  All bony prominences were padded and the SCDs were on and functioning prior to the induction of anesthesia.  All lines were obtained and secured and the patient was intubated and sedated as per protocol. The patient received preoperative antibiotics prior to surgical incision.   A timeout was performed with the entire team and the patient was then prepped with chloroprep and draped in the standard fashion.\\
+\\
+A near identical procedure was performed on both sides of the chest.\\
+\\
+An 11 blade scalpel was used to make 2 nicks in the skin for access for tumescent. One was in the superolateral and the other in the inferolateral. Each breast was then tumesced using standard tumescent solution and cannula. X cc was placed into each side. Adequate time for hemostasis was allowed. Next skin protectors were placed on the skin and secured with staples. X minutes of VASER energy was added to each side of the chest at 80% power. I alternated between using a 2-ring and 5-ring device to assist with breaking up fibrous tissue and disrupting the fat and breast tissue. Next a 3 mm liposuction cannula was used to thoroughly and symmetrically remove all the excess fat and breast tissue. Cross hatching through the access incisions was performed. Special attention was paid to the retro areolar tissue. Contour irregularities were smoothed out and multiple pinch thickness tests were performed. The patient was also sat up multiple times during the procedure to assess for symmetry and optimal aesthetic outcome. There was a very smooth contoured symmetric male chest at the end of the procedure. Approximately X cc were removed from each side.\\
+\\
+The wounds were then closed with interrupted 5-0 fast gut sutures, along with steristrips, and OPsites. He was placed into an abdominal binder on the chest with ABDs. The patient tolerated this procedure without complication, and postoperatively he was extubated and brought to the recovery room in stable and satisfactory condition.\\

+<WRAP half column>
+Operative Report:\\
+. Perineal reconstruction with gracilis flap\\
+. SPY indocyanine green fluorescence angiography\\
+\\
+The patient was brought into the operating room and placed in the lithotomy position.  All bony prominences were padded and the SCDs were on and functioning prior to the induction of anesthesia.  All lines were obtained and secured and the patient was intubated and sedated as per protocol. The patient received preoperative antibiotics prior to surgical incision.   A timeout was performed with the entire team and the patient was then prepped and draped in the standard fashion.\\
+\\
+I began with the gracilis flap harvest.  A curvilinear incision which had been marked in preop with the patient was made with a 10 blade.   Dissection was carried to the fascia with electrocautery and the fascia was divided.   The gracilis was easily identified and dissected circumferentially.  The distal extent was identified using long retractors.  The SFA perforators were divided and controlled with medium clips or electrocautery.  The flap was then divided distally and dissected from distal to proximal.  The pedicle was identified and protected.  A tunnel was dissected through the soft tissue to the defect and the flap was passed into the perineum atraumatically.  The donor site was closed with a 15 blake drain in place using 3-0 monocryl deep dermals followed by a 4-0 monocryl subcuticular suture.  Dermabond was applied and the leg wrapped with an ace bandage.
