Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Skin-reducing mastectomy (SRM) is a method of immediate breast reconstruction derived from a Wise breast reduction incision pattern that enables immediate subpectoral implant placement after mastectomy. Its virtue lies in the manner it provides for adequate implant coverage using muscle and a deepithelialized dermal flap, thus reducing the risk of implant extrusion and providing good inframammary contour. Our experience with this technique is elaborated. Methods: Data was collected from a prospective database in our unit from January 2006 to August 2009. Information was analyzed on indications, complications, cosmetic outcomes, and recurrence rates. Results: A total of 89 SRMs were performed in 72 patients during the study period. This included 65 SRMs for invasive breast cancer, 7 for in-situ disease, and 17 for risk reduction. Median patient age was 44 years, and follow-up ranged from 5 to 42 months. Complications included capsular contracture in 14 patients, 2 implant infections, and 1 hematoma requiring surgical evacuation. Cosmetic outcomes were graded by patients as good to excellent in 66 (92%). No local recurrences have been detected to date. Conclusions: Our observations support the use of this technique as a safe, valid, and useful tool in an oncoplastic breast service. © 2010 Society of Surgical Oncology.
