What does ravioli have to do with breast implants? ๐ซจ๐
On this episode of ๐๐ฝ๐: ๐ฝ๐ง๐๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ - Breast Reconstruction, Dr. Sigalove breaks down where the name for this wrap technique actually came from.
Dr. Sigalove coined the technique back in 2015, a nod to medical school pathology days when everything got a food nickname. Think of the implant as the filling, and the mesh wrapped around it is the dough; hence, ravioli.
The reaction itself came from a red light green light breakdown by Dr. Andrew Cohen (@andrewcohenmd), showing a breast revision case using this exact wrap technique. Dr. Sigalove called the approach reasonable, noting that wrapping 360 degrees with ADM or P4HB has become common, and comes down to surgeon preference. Dr. Nahabedian gave it a green light too, calling downsizing a common, patient-driven operation, and ADM his go-to.
