Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast reconstruction with implants has long-term disadvantages and is leading an increasing number of patients to request secondary corrective surgery. Two surgical strategies are possible: implant replacement (associated with capsulectomy/capsulotomy and/or lipofilling procedures) and implant removal associated with the provision of autologous tissue (flap and/or lipofilling). METHOD Between 2010 and 2018, 54 patients underwent secondary surgery for correction of a first implant breast reconstruction. The reasons for dissatisfaction with the initial reconstruction, the procedures performed, and postoperative complications were analysed. Patient well-being and satisfaction were evaluated using the BREAST-Q questionnaire. RESULTS Thirty-four patients benefited from a prosthesis change and 20 patients benefited from a permanent removal of their prosthesis combined with the addition of autologous tissue. The presence of a periprosthetic shell, pain, fixed appearance of the breast and breast asymmetry were the most frequent reasons for dissatisfaction. With a mean follow-up of 2.6 years, autologous conversion patients were generally more satisfied with the appearance of their breasts than patients who retained a breast implant (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION In cases of poor esthetic or functional outcomes of implant-based breast reconstruction, removal of the prosthesis in combination with autologous reconstruction provides better results in terms of well-being and satisfaction than implant replacement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Each university hospital has its own specificities in microsurgical reconstructions. Activities may focus on breast reconstruction, ENT reconstruction or traumatic substance loss. This study analyzes the specificities at the University Hospital of Nancy, studies the indications, the operating data and the failure rates. METHOD We realized a historical cohort of microsurgical reconstructions at Nancy University Hospital from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2017. All free flaps were included and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 359 free flaps were made. The failure rate was 9.47%. Forty eight different operators have been identified. Substance losses were essentially traumatic (56.8%). A total of 20 different flaps were use with 49% bone reconstruction. The fibula flap was the first flap used (26.5%). Arterial anastomoses were performed in termino-lateral in 44% and venous anastomoses were single in 70.5%. High BMI, diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and arterial or venous graft were identified as risk factors for failure (P<0.05). The smoking and the realisation of the intervention by a young operator have no impact on the success rate. CONCLUSION Our specificity is the bone reconstruction which represents a significant part of our activity. In the university center, the number of etiology of substance losses, operator and flap used is important but it still allows to obtain results in adequacy with the literature.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study analyzes postoperative course of different immediate breast reconstruction techniques: deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP), gracilis, latissimus dorsi flap, expander implants and definitive implants. METHODS All women operated on IBR between 2012 and 2017 in the CHU Strasbourg were included in this retrospective study. The main data collected were healing time, complications, surgical revisions and failure rates. These data were compared between the five IBR techniques to find a significant difference. Two groups were distinguished according to the surgical techniques: free flaps and implants. Data of those groups were compared too. RESULTS One hundred and ninety three patients have had a breast surgical treatment between 2012 and 2017. Among them, 44 had a bilateral IBR (23%). Early and unserious complications, were less frequent in the implants group than in the free flaps group: 8.6% vs. 33.3% (P<0.01) for unilateral reconstructions and 10.9% vs. 38.9% (P<0.01) for bilateral reconstructions. No surgical failures were found in the free flaps group versus 6.2% for definitive implants and 3.6% for expander implants. Healing time was longer for the free flaps group than for the prothesis group: 5.6 weeks vs. 4.2weeks, (P<0.01). CONCLUSION IBR with free flaps is associated with a higher risk for early and unserious complications as healing disorders, which extend the dressings time. However the failure rate is not higher with free flaps.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients' satisfaction after immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) according to the surgical technique. METHODS Included patients had an IBR between 2012 and 2017 and finished their reconstruction since a year. Patients were contacted by phone and their satisfaction was evaluated with the Breast Q questionnaire. According to the surgical technique, patients were divided into 5 groups: DIEP, gracilis, Latissimus Dorsi flap, definitive implant and expander implant. Techniques were grouped into two categories: free flaps and prothesis. Nipple reconstruction techniques were also evaluated: toe pulp grafting, nipple sharing and local flap. RESULTS Nighty-five patients on the 103 who were eligible accepted to answer the questionnaire. Satisfaction with breasts was stastistically higher in the free flap group (72.6/100) than in the prothesis group (62.7/100) (P<0.01). Physical well-being (chest) was better for the free flap group than for the prothesis group (92.2/100 vs. 85.2/100, P=0.02). Nipple reconstructions with nipple sharing and free flap give a better satisfaction for patients than toe pulp grafting (75.3/100 and 73.5/100 vs. 47.8/100, P<0.01). CONCLUSION IBR with free flap give, in a short time, a statistically higher satisfaction for breast than prothesis. Nipple reconstructions with free flap and nipple sharing give a better satisfaction too.

Abstract
Breast reconstruction with free flap of gracilis has been described since 2004. The procedure consists in harvesting a flap made of the gracilis muscle and a transverse cutaneous paddle originating from the internal root of the thigh. The pedicle of the flap is the main pedicle of the gracilis muscle. After weaning, the vessels are anastomosed to the internal thoracic artery and vein. The modeling of the breast is done by folding the cut points in front of the muscle to obtain the shape of a cone. This surgical technique allows the realization of autologous breast reconstructions of small to medium size, immediate or delayed, unilateral or bilateral.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large breasted patients are difficult to reconstruct using free tissue transfer after mastectomy when abdominal tissue is inadequate. For these, two unilateral free flaps may be required. This study reviews the authors' experience using transverse upper gracilis and profunda artery perforator flaps. METHODS Through retrospective chart review, subjects were divided into three groups based on vascular anastomotic orientation: group 1, thoracodorsal and internal mammary; group 2, noncrossed internal mammary; and group 3, crossed internal mammary. Statistical comparison determined differences between groups for peri-operative "take-backs" and flap survival. RESULTS Twenty-one subjects underwent 42 free tissue transfers for unilateral breast reconstruction. Perioperative complications requiring return to the operating room occurred as follows for each group: group 1, two of four flaps (50 percent); group 2, two of two flaps (100 percent); and group 3, two of 36 flaps (5.5 percent). Long-term flap survival was as follows: group 1, three of four flaps (75 percent); group 2, zero of two flaps (0 percent); and group 3, 36 of 36 flaps (100 percent). Both the incidence of perioperative complications (p = 0.0011) and flap survival (p = 0.0008) were statistically significant in the three groups. CONCLUSIONS Use of double free tissue transfer consisting of transverse upper gracilis or profunda artery perforator flaps is a feasible option for unilateral autologous breast reconstruction. In the authors' experience, horizontal inset with crossed pedicles to the internal mammary system is the safest and most reliable technique for flap and pedicle inset.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many flaps have been described in autologous breast reconstruction, the most common being the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. This flap cannot be harvested in a certain range of patients. The profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap, based on perforators from profunda femoral artery, is therefore a good option. OBJECTIVE The goal was to highlight technical tips, particularities, and complications of our series of the 30 first PAP flaps for breast reconstruction in our department. PATIENTS AND METHOD We did a prospective study of all PAP flaps for breast reconstruction between November 2014 and October 2015. Thirty patients were included. We used 2 different types of skin design: classical or with vertical extension. The following parameters were recorded: pedicle length, flap weight, surgery duration, complications on donor or recipient site and type of recipient vessels. RESULTS Seventy-seven percent of the cases were delayed breast reconstruction, 23% were immediate. Twenty-five flaps were with classical skin design, and 5 with vertical extension. Mean flap weight was 301g (195-700g). Mean pedicle length was 9.88cm (8.2-12.5cm). Internal mammary vessels were the recipient vessels for 90% of the patients, versus 10% for circumflex scapular vessels. Mean surgery duration was 328min (195-610min). We had two total flap failures. The complications on the donor-site were 2 seroma, and 4 late healing scars. No lymphoedema occurred. CONCLUSION PAP flap is a good option when abdominal flap harvesting is not possible. The donor-site is well tolerated, with low morbidity. The indication is for patients with small to medium breast volume.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a ubiquitous disease and one of the leading causes of death in women in western societies. With overall increasing survival rates, the number of patients who need post-mastectomy reconstruction is on the rise. Especially since its psychological benefits have been broadly recognized, breast reconstruction has become a key component of breast cancer treatment. Evolving from the early beginnings of breast reconstruction with synthetic implants in the 1960s, microsurgical tissue transfer is on the way to become the gold standard for post oncology restoration of the breast. Particularly since the advent of perforator based free flap surgery, free tissue transfer has become as safe option for breast reconstruction with low morbidity. The lower abdominal skin and subcutaneous fat tissue typically offer enough volume to create an aesthetically satisfying breast mound. Nowadays, the most commonly used flap from this donor site is the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap. If the lower abdomen is not available as a donor site, the gluteal area and thigh provide a number of flaps suitable for breast reconstruction. If the required breast volume is small, and there is enough tissue available on the upper medial thigh, then a transverse upper gracilis flap may be a practicable method to reconstruct the breast. In case of a higher amount of required volume, a gluteal artery perforator flap is the best choice. However, what is crucial in addition to selecting the best flap option for the individual patient is the timing of the operation. In patients with confirmed post-mastectomy radiation therapy, it is advisable to perform microvascular breast reconstruction only in a delayed fashion.

Abstract
Autologous breast reconstruction provides great cosmetic, functional and sustainable incomes. Various flaps have been described in autologous breast reconstruction, Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator flap (DIEP) being the most frequent. For patients with a non-sufficient abdomen for a DIEP based breast reconstruction, the Profunda Artery Perforator Flap (PAP), based on profunda arteris perforators, is a current trend, but few publications detailed the flap harvest. Comparing with a TUG flap, the morbidity linked to the muscle harvest is decreased. Usually the dissection is done in prone or in "frog leg" position. The aim is to describe a technical option: we propose a different position, with a harvest of the PAP in lithotomy position. It offers additional comfort and security for the surgeon and decreases the operative time. The pedicle had an average of 7cm in length; the artery diameter was 2.2mm and the vein 2.5mm. The cosmetic incomes are very good six months postoperative.
