1 | Zhu et al., 2016 | Inferior pedicle | 18 years to 65 years | 24 breasts in WISE and 14 breasts in modified ROB | Maximized superior fullness in pole in modified ROB whereas WISE group found high projection in breast and greater medical fullness of pole |
2 | Kim et al., 2017 | Modified central pedicle technique | 19 - 61 years | 56 patients and follow-up duration was 12 - 53 months | Modified technique for central pedicle for reducing mammaplasty with technique of vertical scar is a versatile technique for reducing breast for all tissue conditions and shapes, by giving a conical breast shape with less burden of scar and high preservation of function for breast |
3 | Bilgen et al., 2019 | Central and inferior mound pedicle breast reduction in Gigantomastia | 21 - 61 years | 72 patients for 3 years | Inferior pyramidal pedicle method is found to be versatile technique for reduction mammaplasty which could be used in all sizes of breast. It preserves the sensation of nipple and potential to lactate with minimal complication rates |
4 | Eskitascioglu and Yontar, 2019 | Combined advantages of dermal flap suspension and placation of inferior pedicle in inverted T-scar mammaplasty for breast reduction | 17 to 76 years | 121 patients from March 2008 to November 2017 | Combined use of dermal flap suspension and pedicle placation enhances the position and shape controllability in technique of inferior pedicle, gives a stabilized and projectile breast mound helps to reach satisfactory cosmetic results in long-term and prevents deformities of breast |
5 | Erfon et al., 2019 | Single central block technique | 17 to 75 years | 2097 patients were underwent single central block for reduction mammoplasties (1556) and mastopexies (541) | This technique permits surgeon to get a good breast shape like cone, NAC repositioning and preserving, its sensation and vascularisation without tension on sutures of skin flaps, result in better and smaller scars |
