Background. One-stage direct-to-implant immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) is performed simultaneously with breast cancer resection. We explored indications, techniques, and outcomes of IBR to determine its feasibility, safety, and effectiveness. Material and Methods. We reviewed the available literature on one-stage direct-to-implant IBR,...

In the past adipose tissue was considered only as the energy storage of our body, today we can talk about adipose organ, an active and dynamic tissue from which multipotent stem cells can be obtained. The aim of our study was to focus on the properties and possible uses of stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ASCs) in regenerative medicine...

Background Stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) hold great promise for use in regenerative medicine applications, as a result of their ability to promote the healing process through in situ differentiation and the secretion of paracrine factors. The aim of this paper was to evaluate whether and how the topical application of SVF with...

The skin Cancers of the head and neck district are localized mostly on the nose, which, by being in the center of the mid-face, has an important aesthetic role. Therefore, many reconstructive techniques have been studied; among them regional skin fiaps appeared the most suitable since they guaranteed the oncological radicality as well as a good...

LIPECTO MY AS A SOURCE OF STEM CELLS Over the last few years, interest in adipose tissue as the ideal source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has considerably grown. MSCs represent the future of regenerative medicine, both for their multipotent capabilities and for their ability to excretion of pro-regenerative cytokines. Mesenchymal stem cells...

Adipose tissue is an organ of energy storage, an endocrine organ, a soft tissue filler and a cosmetically unnecessary tissue discarded by liposuction. Liposuction was designed to correct unaesthetic deposits of subcutaneous fat; it produces satisfactory silhouette contouring when performed by appropriately trained operators using properly...

Recent research suggests that statins might be useful in the process of wound healing, playing a positive immune-modulatory role, improving microvascular function and reducing oxidative stress. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the efficacy of topic application of Simvastatin-based cream in the treatment of chronic vascular cutaneous...

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, with an excellent prognosis after surgical removal. However, nodal metastasis are present in about 5% of cases and the death rate is about 2%.

Breast cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy among women worldwide. After a breast cancer removal procedure, women are asked to decide about breast reconstruction, mainly to improve their life quality, and they can choose from among many options. Broadly, there are two different types of breast reconstruction procedures: prosthetic...

Therapeutic approaches based on stem cells have recently been introduced to treat chronic ulcers, with good results. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the topical application of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of ischemic cutaneous ulcers modified the skin perfusion of the treated...

AIM: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) alone accounts for 80% of cases of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), which characteristically develops on sun-exposed skin. Indeed the most common site of BCC is the head and neck region (80%). The purpose of this study to review the experience of our center with BCC in the head and neck region to report the sites...

The use of autologous fat transplantation to correct volume and contour defects, scars, and asymmetry after breast cancer surgery has increased over the past 20 years. Many developments and refinements in this technique have taken place in recent years, and several studies of the safety of lipofilling in the breast have been published.

We conducted a randomized, prospective pilot study to evaluate the therapeutic effects (in particular, wound healing rate and pain relief) of one device that administers topical millimeter waves (MW) in patients with chronic skin ulcers of the lower extremities. Twenty consecutive patients with chronic skin ulcers of the lower extremities were...

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) hold great promise for regenerative medicine applications due to their ability to promote the healing process through in situ differentiation and secretion of paracrine factor. The aim of this paper is to present a clinical adjunct for chronic skin wound therapy based on ASCs added to platelet-rich plasma...

One important modality of breast cancer therapy is surgical treatment, which has become increasingly less mutilating over the last century. Breast reconstruction has become an integrated part of breast cancer treatment due to long-term psychosexual health factors and its importance for breast cancer survivors. Both autogenous tissue-based and...
