Résumé
Reconstruction of breast with transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous [TRAM] flap is the standard for reconstruction of breast following mastectomy. In this article, authors report their experience with pedicled TRAM flap reconstruction of the breast. Records for the patients who had undergone breast reconstruction with pedicled TRAM flap were retrieved. Records of outpatient followups were also obtained. Patient satisfaction with the outcome of surgery was assessed using a detailed questionnaire including a linear visual analogue scale ranging from zero [not satisfied] to ten [most satisfied]. There were 61 reconstructions in 59 patients. In 42 [71.2%] cases a synthetic mesh and in 14 [23.7%] cases dermal graft was used for closure of the abdominal fascial defect. The mean hospital stay was 10.67 [1 - 72] days. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 621 days. The overall rates of complications were as follows: partial flap necrosis: 11 [18.6%], flap hematoma: 2 [3.4%], flap seroma: 7 [11.9%], flap wound infection: 7 [11.9%], abdominal wound hematoma: 9 [15.3%], abdominal wound seroma: 5 [8.5%], abdominal wound ischemia: 1 [1.7%], abdominal wound incisional hernia: 6 [10.2%], deep vein thrombosis: 1 [1.7%], complication requiring rehospitalization: 9 [15.3%], complication requiring reoperation: 8 [13.6%]. There were no abdominal wound infection, no umbilical necrosis, and no pulmonary embolism. Aesthetic results were classified as excellent [62%], good [28%], fair [10%]. The mean satisfaction score was 9.5 [range 6-10]. Breast reconstruction with pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap was associated with a low complication rate and a high level of patient satisfaction in our center

Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. It's survival expectancy depends on the time of diagnosis, stage and grade of the tumor, and general condition of the patient. Survival expectancy of this type of cancer reveals the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the community. To improve and standardize the treatment modalities in this field, much research has been conducted worldwide. In this study, patients with a confirmed diagnosis of colorectal tumors [CRT] who were under treatment or referred to the Oncology Department of Imam Khomeini Medical, Educational and Research Complex within the years 1987-1991, were selected. This study showed that the 5 year survival rate of these patients was maximally 21%
