Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application of local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle for breast conservation in central breast cancer.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 14 patients with stage Ⅰor Ⅱ central breast cancer was performed. The local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle was used for breast conservation in Jiangxi Provincial Breast Specialist Hospital (Nanchang Third Hospital) from January 2017 to December 2018. The postoperative complications were recorded. One year after operation, the aesthetic result, satisfactory and comfort index were evaluated. Two years after operation, local tumor recurrence and metastasis were followed.Results:All patients were women, aged 37-75 years old with the median age as 47. First-stage healing was achieved in 12 patients. Wound infection happened in one case and necrotic in one case. They were all healed after secondary suture. Fourteen patients were followed up for 1 year, the suprasternal notch-nipple length was (22.27±2.38) cm at the operative side, and (23.33±2.22) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-1.253, P=0.242). The nipple-midsternal line length was(10.12±0.91) cm at the operative side, and (10.68±1.09) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-1.937, P=0.094). The nipple-inframammary fold length was (6.94±0.95) cm at the operative side, and (7.05±1.30) cm at the healthy side, showing no statistical significance ( t=-0.478, P=0.645). The patient’s breast satisfaction was 60.2±11.4 points before operation and 61.7±12.7 points after operation, with no difference between them ( t=-0.330, P=0.744). The overall postoperative comfort index was 62.05±4.40 points, which indicates a moderate comfort state. The physiological comfort index was 6.52±2.05 points, the mental and psychological comfort index was 15.13±2.56 points, the social comfort index was 19.09±1.57 points, and the environmental comfort index was 21.29±2.11 points. There was no local recurrence and no systemic metastasis 2 years after operation. Conclusions:The breast conservation in central breast cancer with local rotation flap with subcutaneous pedicle is less invasive with few complication and satisfactory results in cosmetic appearance. The moderate comfort index and good prognosis can be prospected.
