- Outcome Analysis of Immediate and Delayed Conservative Breast Surgery Reconstruction With Mastopexy and Reduction Mammaplasty Techniques(2011) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; ALDRIGHI, Claudia Maria; MONTAG, Eduardo; ARRUDA, Eduardo; BRASIL, Jose Augusto; FILASSI, Jose Roberto; ALDRIGHI, Jose Mendes; GEMPERLI, Rolf; FERREIRA, Marcus CastroBackground: Bilateral mammaplasty or mastopexy is frequently used for oncoplastic objectives. However, little information has been available regarding outcome following immediate and delayed reconstruction. Method: Patients were divided into Group I (immediate reconstruction) and Group II (delayed reconstruction). Retrospective review was performed to compare complications, length of hospital stay, revision surgeries, and satisfaction. The associations between the complications with potential risk factors (timing, age, body mass index, smoking, and comorbid medical conditions) were analyzed. Results: There were a total of 144 patients with a mean follow-up of 47 months. Of the 106 patients in Group I, complications occurred in 24 (22.6%), skin necrosis was observed in 7.5%, fat necrosis in 5.6%, and 6.6% patients developed local recurrence. Mean period of hospitalization was 1.89 days. Of the 38 patients of the Group II, complications occurred in 12 (31.5%), skin necrosis was observed in 7 (18.4%), fat necrosis in 4 (10.5%), and 5.2% patients developed local recurrence. Mean period of hospitalization was 1.35 days. Increased length of hospital stay greater than 1 day (P < 0.001) and the number of revision surgeries (P = 0.043) were associated with the timing of the reconstruction. In univariate analysis, no difference between groups was found with respect to complication incidence (P = 0.275); however, after adjusting for other risk factors, the probability of complications tend to be higher for Group II (OR = 2.65; 95% confidence interval - 1.01-7.00; P = 0.049). Conclusions: On the basis of the results of our study, the probability of complications tends to be higher for delayed reconstructions, and it is demonstrated that obesity and smoking are risk factors for complications. Ultimately, these data may facilitate the provision of individualized risk information for shared medical decision-making.
- Superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) free flap using perforator vessels as a recipient site: clinical implications in autologous breast reconstruction(2011) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; PELLARIN, Leandro; MONTAG, Eduardo; FILASSI, Jose Roberto; TACHIBANA, Adriano; GEBRIM, Heloisa; GEMPERLI, Rolf; FERREIRA, Marcus CastroBACKGROUND: Breast reconstruction with autogenous tissue is a well-established technique, but there are some limitations related to donor-site morbidity. Among available techniques, the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap is the least invasive procedure because it does not require harvesting or incision of the rectus muscle or the abdominal fascia. Besides adequate flap choice, the proper selection of the recipient vessels is an important factor. Thus, the internal mammary perforator branches (IMPBs) have been an attractive option regarding recipient pedicle morbidity. METHODS: The investigators reported the use of the free SIEA flap with the IMPBs as a recipient site to reconstruct radical mastectomy. RESULTS: Five patients with invasive ductal carcinoma underwent modified radical mastectomy and reconstruction. The IMPBs were selected as the recipient site and a free SIEA flap was used. The donor defect was closed directly without synthetic mesh. Satisfactory breast shape was achieved, and no complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: For selected patients, the SIEA flap and IMPBs may constitute a new alternative for immediate breast reconstruction, because of the possibility of large tissue transfer with minimal donor and recipient area morbidity. The SIEA pedicle size and the quality of IMPB vessels should be carefully evaluated.
- Immediate Locally Advanced Breast Cancer and Chest Wall Reconstruction: Surgical Planning and Reconstruction Strategies with Extended V-Y Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap(2011) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; MONTAG, Eduardo; ARRUDA, Eduardo; OKADA, Alberto; BRASIL, Jose Augusto; GEMPERLI, Rolf; FILASSI, Jose Roberto; FERREIRA, Marcus CastroBackground: Surgical resection in locally advanced breast cancer produces large defects that may not be suitable for primary closure. Immediate reconstruction is controversial and presents a complicated scenario for breast surgeons and plastic surgeons. Methods: In this study, a different design was planned for the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap with primary closure in V-Y for the correction of major lesions in the anterior chest wall. Twenty-five patients underwent immediate locally advanced breast cancer reconstruction with a V-Y latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap. This flap was raised from adjacent tissue located on the lateral and posterior thoracic region and presented a triangular shape whose base was the lateral aspect of the mastectomy wound. The technique was indicated in patients with large thoracic wounds. Results: Mean follow-up time was 16 months. Closure was obtained in the donor and recipient sites without the use of skin grafts or other more major procedures. Complications occurred in nine patients (36 percent), including dorsal wound dehiscence in five patients and seroma in three. All cases except one were treated by a conservative approach with a good result. No total flap loss was reported. All patients achieved a satisfactory thoracic reconstruction and adequate wound care. Conclusions: The V-Y latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap is a reliable technique for immediate locally advanced breast cancer reconstruction. The technique is advantageous because the V-Y design allows primary closure of the chest wound and donor defect. Success depends on patient selection, coordinated planning with the breast cancer surgeon, and careful intraoperative management. (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 127: 2186, 2011.)
- Immediate conservative breast surgery reconstruction with perforator flaps: New challenges in the era of partial mastectomy reconstruction?(2011) MUNHOZ, Alexandre Mendonca; MONTAG, Eduardo; ARRUDA, Eduardo; BRASIL, Jose Augusto; ALDRIGHI, Jose Mendes; GEMPERLI, Rolf; FILASSI, Jose Roberto; FERREIRA, Marcus CastroIntroduction: Although the use of local flaps in conservative breast surgery (CBS) reconstruction is a reliable technique, little information has been available regarding outcome following the use of perforator flaps. The purpose of this study is to analyze the feasibility, surgical planning and outcome following CBS reconstruction with intercostal artery perforator (ICAP) flap. Patients/methods: Thirteen patients underwent CBS reconstructions with an ICAP flap. These flaps were raised from adjacent tissue located on the lateral and thoracic region and based on perforators originating from the costal and muscular segment of the intercostal vessels. The technique was indicated in patients with small/moderate volume breasts. Results: Mean time of follow-up was 32 months. Flap complications were evaluated and information on patient satisfaction were collected. 61.5 percent had tumors located in the lower-outer quadrants and 69.2 percent had tumors measuring 2 cm or less (T1). Complications occurred in 3 patients (23%), including wound dehiscence in 2 patients and fat necrosis in one. All cases were treated by conservative approach with a good result. No flap loss or wound infection were reported. 90 percent were either satisfied or very satisfied with their result. Conclusion: The ICAP flap is a reliable technique for immediate CBS reconstruction. The technique is advantageous because it does not require the use of muscle transfer, with minimum donor site morbidity. Success depends on patient selection, coordinated planning with the oncological surgeon and careful intra-operative management.
