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

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

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

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

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
