In the last few years, breast reduction procedures in the U.S. have become increasingly common. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 100,000 breast reduction procedures were performed in 2020.
This procedure involves a high-tension T-junction suture in which three incisions meet, forming the shape of a T. Larger breast reductions with longer incisions may have a higher risk of complications and wound healing problems at the T-junction, which represent 13 to 39% of wound breakdown. It's known that decreasedto the wound, which then reduces the amount of oxygen to the area, promotes wound breakdown.
"The primary goal of our study was to determine whether the device that provided continuous diffusion of oxygen would be easy to use and accepted by patients," said first author Dr. Alejandro Zulbaran-Rojas, research assistant II in the Michael E DeBakey Department of Surgery.
