Abstract:
Objective To compare and analyze clinical effects of three correction methods in type Ⅲnipple retraction.Methods A total of 93 patients with type Ⅲ nipple retraction were retrospectively enrolled at Clifford Hospital between May 2018 and December 2023.Based on the different surgical methods employed,they were categorized into three groups:group A(silk traction method,n=30),group B(areola double-flap method,n=31),and group C(areola single-flap method,n=32).The study compared the operation time,therapeutic efficacy,hemodynamic disorders,improvement in nipple appearance and function,complications,patient satisfac-tion,and recurrence rates among these three groups.Results The operation duration was significantly longer in group B compared to groups A and C(P<0.05).Group C exhibited a significantly higher total response rate than groups A and B(P<0.05),while no significant difference was observed between groups A and B(P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of hemodynamic disorders among the three groups(P>0.05).The improvement scores for nipple appearance and function were significantly higher in group C compared to groups A and B(P<0.05),with no significant difference between groups A and B(P>0.05).The incidence of complications was lower,satisfaction was higher,both being statistically significant,in group C compared to groups A and B(P<0.05),but there were no significant differences in the incidence of complications or satisfaction between groups A and B(P>0.05).The recurrence rate was significantly lower in group B and group C than in group A(P<0.05).Conclusion The correction effect of the areola single-flap method is superior to that of the silk trac-tion method and areola double-flap method in patients with type Ⅲ nipple retraction,thereby enhancing clinical efficacy,patient satisfaction,nipple aesthetics,and functionality while reducing complications and recurrence rates.
