Abstract:

BACKGROUND: How to keep the intact shape of the breast while treating tumor has been widely concerned by more doctors and patients, breast reconstruction is introduced, developed and considered an important part in the treatment of breast tumors.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and therapeutic effects of immediate breast reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap transplantation.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological features of 42 breast cancer patients under immediate breast reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy with latissimus dorsi musculocuraneous flap or extended latissimus dorsi musculocuraneous flap. The procedure duration, postoperative complications and cosmetic outcome were assessed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among the involved 42 patients, 33 cases underwent modified radical mastectomy, retaining the nipple and areola of breast, 9 cases underwent modified radical mastectomy, retaining the skin of breast, 24 cases underwent breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi musculocuraneous flap,
18 cases underwent breast reconstruction with extended latissimus dorsi musculocuraneous flap. The skin flap and reconstructed breast all survived, without severe complications. According to objective evaluation results, the cosmetic outcome was good in 39 cases and fair in 3 cases. The subjective evaluation results were good in 40 cases and fair in 2 cases. All the patients were followed up for 9-41 months. One patient had bone metastasis 19 months after operation and there was no case with local recurrence. Immediate breast reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy with latissimus dorsi musculocuraneous flap is a simple and feasible operation process, with optimal effects, high security, and high survival.
