Abstract EN
Background.
Most women with breast cancer today can be managed with breast conservation; however, some women still require mastectomy for treatment of their disease.
Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate reconstruction has emerged as a favorable option for many of these patients.
The authors combined the SSM technique with the preservation of a small part of the areola with immediate nipple together with with breast reconstruction.
Methods.
In an 8-year-period 155 female patients (age: 20–52 years old; mean age: 37.5 years) with extensive ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN) or invasive breast cancer were treated with areola skin sparing mastectomy with immediate nipple and breast reconstruction.
Patients were followed up prospectively by the breast surgeon, the plastic surgeon, and the oncologist for complications and recurrence.
Results.
After treatment, only 2 cases (1.29%) had a local recurrence.
8 out of 155 (5.5%) patients developed early complications (infections, seroma, haematoma), and 5 out of 155 patients (3.22%) developed delayed complications (implant rotation, aestethic deterioration) in the post operative time period.
The final aesthetic outcome was judged as positive in 150 out of 155 patients (96.78%).
Conclusion.
In our experience, immediate nipple reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy is a technically feasible procedure which can give excellent cosmetic results.
