Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficiency of electrocautery de-epithelization in mammoplasty.

Detailed description

Mammoplasty is the fifth most commonly performed by plastic surgeons worldwide to improve symptomatology resulting from macromastia. One of the key stages in a breast reduction or augmentation surgery is the de-epithelization process. De-epithelialization is the first stage of reduction mammoplasty in techniques that use dermal, dermo-glandular pedicles. Traditional methods of de-epithelization include manual dissection or mechanical scraping as time-consuming and demanding by most surgeons, especially when the breasts are large and when there is no assistant available.
