Objective To study the immediate conservative breast surgical reconstruction by trans-ferring the same lateral latissimus dorsal myocutaneous flap (LDM) for the treatment of stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ breast cancer, combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Breast cancer patients in stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ with pathological diagnosis by core needle biopsy, had undergone immediate conservative breast reconstruction surgery with transferring the latissimus dorsal myocutaneous (LDM). We scored the reconstructed breast twice at one month after operation and completion of radiation. The final score was decided using the mean value of the twice evaluating score. Kaplan-Meier survival was used to analyze the survival of 18 cases with traditional mastectomy. Results The tumor size ranged from 30 mm to 55 mm before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and ranged from 25mm to 45 mm after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The median weight of the tumor specimens in breast conservative operation was 140 g (90 g to 220 g). A-mong the 18 patients, 16 cases had more than 3 scores with satisfied cosmetics (93.33 % ). Dorsal subcu-taneous seroma in donation area was observed in 5 of 18 patients (27.78 %) and dorsal incision dehiscence was observed in 2 of 18 patients (11.11%). None of the patients developed recurrence except that 1 pa-tient (5.55 %) had distance metastasis (bone metastasis} in a mean 22-months follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve in breast conservation reconstruction patients had no different from that of traditional mastectomy patients at the same time. Conclusions Immediate conservative breast surgical reconstruction by using the same lateral latissimus dorsal myocutaneous flap is an effective method for stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ breast cancer patients combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which can increase satisfactory breast so that cosmetic outcome can be reached.
