چکیده
METHODS: Patients with completed breast reconstructions of all types from 2009–2011 completed BreastQ questionnaires. Postoperative photos were graded by a six member panel using a breast reconstruction-specific aesthetic scale. Scores from the BreastQ domain “satisfaction with breasts” (BrSat) were compared with the photo-based grades (PhotoGr). Patients were categorized: Group 1, BrSat >PhotoGr; Group 2, BrSat =PhotoGr; Group 3 patients BrSat<PhotoGr. Demographics, additional BreastQ domain scores, and surgical data were used in the analysis.

Aesthetic outcomes in breast conservation therapy.
BACKGROUND Since the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project B06 (NSABP-B06) trial demonstrated equivalent survival outcomes between patients with breast cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy versus lumpectomy and radiation, an increasing number of patients are seeking breast conservation therapy. Traditionally, only patients who have undergone total mastectomy have been ref...
متن کاملMicrosurgical restoration of failed or unsatisfactory breast reconstruction: a systematic review and pooled-analysis of outcomes
Aim: Autologous tissue transfer to salvage breast reconstruction following a previously failed or unsatisfactory reconstruction has been described by previous studies to be an effective strategy to optimize outcomes. The purpose of this systematic review is to assimilate the relevant literature to evaluate surgical and aesthetic outcomes following autologous breast reconstruction in the setting...
متن کاملOptions and considerations in the timing of breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Timing of breast reconstruction after mastectomy is determined primarily by patient factors and the need for postmastectomy radiation therapy. If the risk of needing postmastectomy radiation is low, then immediate reconstruction produces the optimal aesthetic result. If the risk of needing postmastectomy radiation is high, then delayed reconstruction is preferable to optimize both radiation del...

BACKGROUND Nipple creation using the C-V flap technique is often the final step in breast reconstruction. The aim of this study was to subjectively and objectively assess the cosmetic outcomes and satisfaction of patients undergoing C-V flap nipple reconstruction. METHODS Subjective assessments of patient satisfaction with the neo-nipple were recorded by visual analogue scoring (VAS; 0...
متن کاملDelayed versus Delayed-Immediate Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A Blinded Evaluation of Aesthetic Outcomes
BACKGROUND The technique of delayed-immediate breast reconstruction includes immediate insertion of a tissue expander, post-mastectomy radiation, followed by reconstruction. The aesthetic benefits of delayed-immediate reconstruction compared to delayed reconstruction are postulated but remain unproven. The purpose of this study was to compare aesthetic outcomes in patients following delayed and...
