Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical application of the profunda artery perforator flap in breast reconstruction of patients with early-staged breast cancer.
Methods:Six cases of early breast cancer patients received radical or modified radicaI surgery.The PAP flap was used to reconstruct breast at the same time or in the second phase.Four cases of breast cancer were in stage I and 2 cases was in stage II.
Results:The length of flap was (25.2±0.2) cm, the width of flap was (6.4±0.8) cm, the thickness of flap was (2.6±0.2) cm. The length of pedicle was (7.2±0.6) cm, the outer diameter of pedicle was (1.6±0.3) mm.The average weight of flap was 345 g(ranged from 225 g to 575 g). All profunda artery perforator flaps were successful. In one flap fat necrosis occurred and healed with dressing treatment. The reconstructed breasts′ shape, texture and elasticity was good and no flap contracture deformation happened. Only linear scar left in the donor sites, the function of thighs was not affected. All 6 patients were followed up for 2-3 months (2.5 months on average) with satisfied result. No local recurrence happened.
Conclusions:PAP flap is suitable to reconstruct breast for breast cancer patients.
