Immediate Single-stage Endoscopic Latissimus Dorsi Breast and Nipple Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY Immediate breast reconstruction usually is a multistep surgical treatment. We introduce a new technique with positive results that reduces the reconstruction to 1 single step. This new technique promises to reduce patient consequences from multistaged procedures while reducing the costs. A retrospective review of 7 patients is presented.

متن کاملImmediate Partial Breast Reconstruction with Endoscopic Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Flap Harvest
BACKGROUND Currently, breast conservation therapy is commonly performed for the treatment of early breast cancer. Depending on the volume excised, patients may require volume replacement, even in cases of partial mastectomy. The use of the latissimus dorsi muscle is the standard method, but this procedure leaves an unfavorable scar on the donor site. We used an endoscope for latissimus dorsi ha...
متن کاملImmediate breast reconstruction following segmentectomy using a latissimus dorsi ‘myoadipose’ flap through a single axillary incision: a case series
Immediate breast reconstruction is an excellent complementary treatment for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and early-stage invasive breast cancer. Although lattisimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is one of the well accepted and versatile methods of breast reconstruction, there have been very few reports describing a myoadipose flap, especially through the same axillary incision used for noda...
متن کاملNovel technique for laparoscopic harvesting of latissimus dorsi flap with prosthesis implantation for breast reconstruction
BACKGROUD An important drawback of the traditional technique for harvesting latissimus dorsi (LD) myocutaneous flap is a long, posterior donor-site incision. Current techniques involve endoscopic or robotic harvesting via a combined approach of open and closed surgery, which necessitates an open axillary incision and the use of special retractors. In this paper, we introduce a fully enclosed la...
متن کاملBreast Reconstruction following Breast-conserving Surgery with a Subcutaneous Tissue Expander and Latissimus Dorsi Flap
SUMMARY Corrective surgery following breast-conserving surgery is generally challenging due to severe fibrosis induced by postoperative radiotherapy. Although use of the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap offers a safe and reliable option, exposure of the skin paddle to the skin surface is often inevitable to achieve correction of nipple-areola complex malposition, leaving conspicuous, patchwor...
