Long-term sensibility following nonautologous, immediate breast reconstruction

Immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy, using submuscular expander prostheses, is well established in the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to survey the postoperative cutaneous somatosensory status and to analyze the patients' subjective opinion about the sensibility in the reconstructed breast. Fourteen patients were included and examined 3-6 years after reconstruction. The untreated contralateral breast served as control. None of the patients had received any locoregional radiotherapy. The perception thresholds to touch, cold, warmth, and heat pain were assessed and a questionnaire about the patients' subjective experience of sensibility was completed. In the quantitative somatosensory testing, statistically significant impairment concerning all the examined modalities was demonstrated. The least affected was the heat pain modality. In the questionnaire, the patients reported weaker nonmodality specific sensibility from the reconstructed breast compared with the control breast. More than half of the patients reported that the reconstructed breast felt like a real breast. In conclusion, the study revealed long-term, overall sensibility impairment following nonautologous, immediate breast reconstruction.

Endovascular Stent-Graft Placement in the Descending Aorta through an Ascending Aorto-Bifemoral Bypass

Immediate breast reconstruction using implants is a currently practiced intervention. However, It is exposed to the potential adverse effects of adjuvant therapies necessitated for cancer control.

Patients with implants, receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, were compared with those not necessitating chemotherapy to evaluate the real impact of this combination of treatment modalities on the final outcome.

Cosmetic results were not influenced by the adjunction of chemotherapy, but a higher rate of implant infection was observed in the chemotherapy group (10.7% versus 1.5% p = 0.0084).

This observation needs to be kept in mind when selecting patients for immediate breast reconstruction with implants.

Is the sensitivity of skin‐sparing mastectomy or nipple‐sparing mastectomy superior to conventional mastectomy with innervated flap?

The purpose of this study was to investigate sensory recovery in 33 patients who underwent conventional mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy, or nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction using abdominal flaps. Reconstructions included a pedicled transverse (28 cases) or vertical (five cases) rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap. Sensory reconstruction was performed in 15 cases by neurorrhaphy using intercostal nerve. Patients were classified into six groups according to type of mastectomy and use of neurorrhaphy. Sensory recovery was estimated by touch, pain, and hot and cold sensation at the nipple, areola, and 4 points at a distance of 2 cm from the areolar circumference. For touch sensation, conventional mastectomy with innervated flap provided greater sensitivity than the other groups (P < 0.05). For pain sensation, conventional mastectomy with innervated flap provided greater sensitivity than the other groups (P< 0.05). In terms of short-term postoperative sensitivity, skin- and nipple-sparing mastectomies with abdominal flap appear inferior to conventional mastectomy with innervated abdominal flap.     

The impact of mastectomy, breast-conserving treatment and immediate breast reconstruction on the quality of life of Chinese women

Background : The psychosocial impact of breast surgery has been extensively studied in the Western population. There is a relative paucity of comparable data in Oriental women who are increasingly affected by cancer of the breast. The present study investigates the effects that different types of breast surgery have on the quality of life of Chinese women. Methods : Forty‐nine Chinese women with early breast cancer were interviewed at 6 months–2 years following their primary surgery (breast‐conserving treatment (BCT; 17 patients), mastectomy (15 patients) and mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (17 patients)). Aspects of quality of life measured included general psychological well‐being, body image, sexual functioning and social functioning. Results : Patients who received BCT had significantly better body image scores compared to mastectomy patients. They were less worried about their appearance, had more freedom in the choice of clothing, felt less upset by the change in their body and felt more accepted by their partners. The three groups did not differ significantly in the other aspects of quality of life measured. Conclusions : Compared to mastectomy or mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction, the most significant benefit of BCT is the preservation of a better body image.     

The influence of radiotherapy on skin circulation of the breast after subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction.

The skin circulation was measured in 43 breast cancer patients following subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with a prosthesis, at least 1 year after radiotherapy (46 Gy) following surgery (19 patients) or if no radiotherapy was given, at least 1 year postoperatively (24 patients). The skin circulation was measured by laser Doppler fluxmetry (LDF) and fluorescein flowmetry within three areas: 2 cm above the border of the areola, within the nipple-areola complex, and 2 cm below the border of the areola. The results show that there was no reduction in skin circulation. On the contrary LDF and fluorescein flowmetry showed in the operated breast an increased circulation in the nipple-areola complex in the irradiated breast compared with the non-irradiated by 26% and 30%, respectively (P < 0.05). The results indicate that radiotherapy following subcutaneous mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with a prosthesis does not lead to long-term reduction in basal skin circulation in the breast.     

乳腺癌术后即刻乳房重建肿瘤安全性探讨

即刻乳房重建在避免病人接受二次手术的同时，可以减轻病人失去乳房的心理创伤。但是，肿瘤外科医生在选择即刻乳房重建时必须保证肿瘤的安全性，术前细致的评估、术中足够完整的腺体切除是保证肿瘤安全性的前提。美国国家综合癌症网络（NCCN）指南明确指出，炎性乳腺癌是即刻乳房重建的禁忌证，此外，对于拟行术后放疗的病人也需慎重选择即刻乳房重建；尽管缺乏高级别循证医学证据，但现有的数据显示，即刻乳房重建并不影响术后辅助化疗的疗效，部分病人选择保留乳头乳晕的皮下腺体切除是安全可靠的，假体植入术后的淋巴瘤虽有报道，但发病率很低。因此，乳房切除术后即刻乳房重建在适宜的乳腺癌病人中是安全可靠的手术方式。     

Rationale for elective contralateral Mastectomy with immediate bilateral reconstruction

Background: Women with breast cancer treated by mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction can get exceptionally good results if the reconstruction is performed with autogenous tissue using the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Bilateral reconstruction with TRAM flaps is also possible, but only if both breasts are reconstructed at the same time. To avoid the possibility of subsequently developing contralateral malignancy and having to undergo assymetrical reconstruction with a different technique, some patients have chosen the alternative of bilateral mastectomy with bilateral immediate reconstruction. This is only reasonable if the incidence of failure in bilateral breast reconstruction is very low. Methods: We prospectively studied reconstructive outcomes in 100 patients who had breast cancer and who underwent bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction (using implants as well as TRAM flaps). We also reviewed the histologic findings in 88 prophylactically removed high-risk breasts. Results: Successful outcomes were initially achieved in 95 patients; of the 5 failures, two were successfully reconstructed with alternative techniques for an overall success rate of 97%. Of the 63 patients reconstructed with bilateral TRAM flaps, all but one (98%) were successful on the first try. TRAM flap reconstructions were significantly more likely to be successful than were those based on implants (p=0.05). Previously unsuspected invasive cancer was found in 3 patients (3.4%), whereas carcinoma in situ was found in 5 patients (5.7%) and in another 18 patients (20%) cellular atypia was present. Conclusions: Bilateral breast reconstruction has a low incidence of failure, particularly if TRAM flaps are used. For selected patients, elective contralateral mastectomy with immediate bilateral reconstruction is a reasonable treatment alternative provided that the necessary expertise is available and the patients clearly understand the risks.The results of this study were presented at the 46th Annual Cancer Symposium of The Society of Surgical Oncology, Los Angeles, California, March 18–21, 1993.     

Revisiting an Old Place: Single‐Surgeon Experience on Post‐Mastectomy Subcutaneous Implant‐Based Breast Reconstruction

Significant advances have been made to the reconstructive tools available to plastic surgeons allowing for the re‐exploration of subcutaneous breast reconstruction. The purpose of the current study is to examine the safety, efficacy, and aesthetic results of subcutaneous breast reconstruction by a single‐surgeon. A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients undergoing subcutaneous implant‐based breast reconstruction between April 2012 and September 2014. All implants were fully wrapped in Alloderm and placed in the subcutaneous (pre‐pectoral) plane. Primary outcome was a successful subcutaneous breast reconstruction. All complications were recorded. Aesthetics of the preoperative and postoperative photographs were examined. A total of 135 breasts (79 patients) were reconstructed. Direct‐to‐implant reconstruction was performed in 8 patients (10%). Successful breast reconstruction was achieved for 130 breasts in 76 patients (96%). Sixty‐nine patients (87%) had a course free of any unexpected event or complication. There were no patients with implant extrusion or skin necrosis requiring operative intervention. When comparing pre‐mastectomy breasts with post‐mastectomy reconstructions, there was an improvement in the overall aesthetic outcome. Subcutaneous post‐mastectomy breast reconstruction is safe and effective with comparable complication rates to standard techniques. Yet, this minimally invasive approach does not sacrifice the aesthetic results. Long‐term studies will be required to prove the durability of aesthetic results overtime.     

Pre‐mastectomy Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: A Strategy to Enhance Outcomes in Immediate Breast Reconstruction

The pre‐mastectomy sentinel lymph node biopsy (PM‐SLNB) is a technique that provides knowledge regarding nodal status prior to mastectomy. Because radiation exposure is associated with poor outcomes in breast reconstruction and reconstructed breasts can interfere with the planning and delivery of radiation therapy (RT), information regarding nodal status has important implications for patients who desire immediate breast reconstruction. This study explores the safety and utility of PM‐SLNB as part of the treatment strategy for breast cancer patients desiring immediate reconstruction. We reviewed the charts of adult patients (≥18 years old) who underwent PM‐SLNB from January 2004 to January 2011 at our institution. PM‐SLNB was offered to patients with stage I or IIa, clinically and/or radiographically node‐negative breast cancer who desired immediate breast reconstruction following mastectomy. PM‐SLNB was also offered to patients with ductal carcinoma in situ if features concerning for invasive carcinoma were present. Ninety‐one patients underwent PM‐SLNB of 94 axillae. PM‐SLNB was positive in 25.5% of breasts (n = 24). Nineteen node‐positive patients (79.2%) have undergone or planning to undergo delayed reconstruction at our institution. Seventeen of these 19 node‐positive patients (89.5%) have received adjuvant RT. Two patients (10.5%) elected against RT despite our recommendation for it. No biopsy‐positive patient underwent immediate reconstruction or suffered a radiation‐induced complication with their breast reconstruction. There were two minor complications associated with PM‐SLNB, both in node‐negative patients. This study demonstrates the utility of PM‐SLNB in providing information regarding nodal status, and therefore the need for adjuvant RT, prior to mastectomy. This knowledge can be used to appropriately counsel patients regarding optimal timing of breast reconstruction.

Immediate breast reconstruction with implants and adjuvant chemotherapy: a good option?

Immediate breast reconstruction using implants is a currently practiced intervention. However, it is exposed to the potential adverse effects of adjuvant therapies necessitated for cancer control. Patients with implants, receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, were compared with those not necessitating chemotherapy to evaluate the real impact of this combination of treatment modalities on the final outcome. Cosmetic results were not influenced by the adjunction of chemotherapy, but a higher rate of implant infection was observed in the chemotherapy group (10.7% versus 1.5% p = 0.0084). This observation needs to be kept in mind when selecting patients for immediate breast reconstruction with implants.     

Treatment of Recurrent Breast Cancer Following Breast Conserving Surgery

Patients with isolated ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence face completion mastectomy in the majority of cases. Selected patients may derive good outcomes from repeat breast conservation surgery and indeed repeat irradiation may be employed using one of many different modalities. Tumor biology rather than salvage surgery method is likely to influence outcome. Patients with isolated breast tumor recurrence are treated in the majority of cases with completion mastectomy, when for selected patients there exists little evidence that more radical surgery provides better outcomes in terms of further recurrence and overall survival, than repeated breast conserving surgery. Literature search identifying articles addressing the issue of repeat breast conserving surgery for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, and repeat radiotherapy (search terms include: repeat breast conserving surgery, salvage mastectomy, salvage breast conserving surgery, salvage radiotherapy, reirradiation). Thirty‐five articles discussed the outcomes of repeat breast conserving surgery versus salvage mastectomy, methods of repeat breast irradiation, repeat sentinel lymph node biopsy and related factors. Repeat breast conserving surgery may represent a safe and feasible treatment method for isolated ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence.     

Recovery of sensation in immediate breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps after breast-conservative surgery and skin-sparing mastectomy

In breast reconstruction, sensation in the reconstructed breasts affects the patients' quality of life along with its aesthetic outcome. Fortunately, less invasive procedures such as breast-conservative surgery (BCS) and skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) have greatly contributed to the improved aesthetic outcome in immediate breast reconstruction. However, there are few reports on the recovery of breast sensation after BCS and SSM. We retrospectively reviewed 104 consecutive patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction with the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap between 2001 and 2006 at our institution. The sensations of pain, temperature, touch, and vibration were examined at the nipple and skin envelope during the follow-up period (range: 12-61 months, mean: 31 months), and a stratified analysis was performed to determine the critical factors affecting the sensation recovery after BCS and SSM. We found that large breast size significantly impaired the recovery of sensation in the nipple and skin envelope after BCS as well as SSM. Older age and high body mass index value were the factors which negatively affected the sensation in the skin envelope after SSM. While all our BCS patients underwent postoperative radiation therapy, it did not negatively affect the recovery of sensation in SSM patients. On the basis of these findings, we could further improve the sensation of the reconstructed breasts after BCS and SSM. Especially after SSM, the use of innervated flaps is recommended in the patients with large breast, increased age, or obesity when the nipple-areola complex is resected.     

Impact of immediate reconstruction on the local recurrence of breast cancer after mastectomy

The incidence of local recurrence of breast cancer in women who underwent mastectomy with or without reconstruction was examined. All female mastectomy patients were followed-up in a 10-year retrospective review. Groups consisted of patients who had mastectomy, mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, or delayed reconstruction. Reconstruction was performed using prostheses, latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps with or without implants, or transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps. Charts were reviewed for local breast cancer recurrence. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-square and analysis of variance. Of the 1,444 mastectomies performed from 1988 to 1997, 1,262 breasts (87%) were not reconstructed, 182 (13%) were reconstructed, 158 (87%) were immediately reconstructed, and 24 (13%) were reconstructed later. There were no recurrences in the delayed reconstruction group, two recurrences (1.3%) in the immediate reconstruction group, and nine recurrences (0.7%) in the mastectomy without reconstruction group (p=0.746). Analyses of an additional time period from 1992 to 2000 yielded similar results. There is little relationship between local recurrence of breast cancer after mastectomy and reconstruction.     

Radiotherapy and Immediate Expander/Implant Breast Reconstruction: Should Reconstruction be Delayed?

Chest wall irradiation is very common for mastectomy patients that have opted for immediate breast reconstruction. We reviewed a 6 year experience with tissue expander implant reconstruction with and without radiotherapy in 97 patients. All patients were evaluated with respect to aesthetic outcome, infection, implant exposure, capsular contracture, displacement and failure of the reconstruction; more than 50% of our irradiated patients resulted in a complication. The findings of this study demonstrate that the rate of complications and the rate of patients requiring corrective surgeries in irradiated patients is significant in early follow up.
