Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the application and clinical outcomes (oncological and cosmetic) following oncoplastic conservative surgery using bilateral reduction mammoplasty in conjunction with breast conservation therapy for esthetic purposes. Background Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Until recently, breast surgery could provide only two options for early-stage breast cancer: either modified radical mastectomy or segmental excision, followed by radiation, but the latter causes breast deformities. Reduction mammoplasty is used as a conservative breast surgery with excision of a large volume of tissue without compromising the cosmetic outcome. Patients and methods We …

Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective The aim of this study was to identify the incidence, risk factors and the clinical relevance of incidental parathyroid excision during total and subtotal thyroidectomy in thyroid diseases. Background Postoperative hypocalcaemia is observed in total thyroidectomy patients and it is the most common complication. It is usually transient, and the incidence of permanent hyperparathyroidism is 3% or less. Despite being self-limiting in most patients, symptomatic hypocalcaemia is of particular concern because of a delay in its manifestation and the consequent need for prolonged patient hospitalization or readmission. Patients and methods In this randomized prospective study, we surveyed 30 patients …
