Abstract:
Objective:To discuss the surgical treatment and efficacy of endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with skin lifting system (ENSMSLS) followed by immediate breast reconstruction.
Methods:ENSMSLS was conducted on 21 patients followed by immediate breast reconstruction with implant via axillary incision from August 2014 to January 2016 in Oncology Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. These 21 patients were frequency matched with 21 patients, who received nipple-sparing mastectomy via loop periareolar incision from November 2012 to May 2015 in the same center. These 21 patients formed the control group. The operation data of two groups were compared by t test and Fisher′s exact test.
Results:Differences in operation time ((185±43) minutes vs. (165±33) minutes, t=1.778, P=0.101), amount of bleeding ((60±48) ml vs. (75±57) ml, t=-0.535, P=0.329), and drainage ((240±112) ml vs. (201±91) ml, t=1.238, P=0.233) between these two groups of patients were not statistically significant. There was no nipple necrosis recorded in the ENSMSLS group, while there were three cases (14.3%) recorded in the control group. Two cases (9.5%) of nipple transposition were recorded in the ENSMSLS group, while five cases (23.8%) were recorded in the control group. Differences in nipple necrosis and nipple transposition were statistically significant (0 vs. 5, P=0.001). There were 16 cases (76.2%) of excellent appearance recorded in the ENSMSLS group, while there were 11 cases (52.4%) recorded in the control group. There were 5 cases (23.8%) of good appearance recorded in the ENSMSLS group, while there were 9 cases (42.9%) recorded in the control group. There was no case of fair appearance in the ENSMSLS group, while there was 1 case (4.8%) recorded in the control group. Difference in postoperative appearance was statistically significant (P=0.001).
Conclusions:ENSMSLS significantly decreases the possibility of nipple necrosis and nipple transposition. This technique avoids visible incisions of breast. It also enhances the aesthetic appeal of reconstructed breasts.
