- Reconstrução do complexo areolomamilar da mama queimada com retalho trilobado autonomizado(2015) VANA, LUIZ PHILIPE MOLINA; FONTANA, CARLOS; REIS, JULIANA; GOMEZ, DAVID SOUZA; GEMPERLI, ROLFABSTRACT Introduction: Reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex is the final stage of breast reconstruction. The most common nipple reconstruction techniques use local flaps or grafts. However, these techniques in cases of burns produce undesirable outcomes due to the decreased vascularization of damaged skin. The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of the autonomized star flap in the nipple reconstruction of burned breasts. Methods: Nipples were reconstructed in eight female patients in two surgeries each. Results: There were no complications such as necrosis, dehiscence, complete loss of projection of the new nipple, or infection. The mean projection at the end of surgery was 15.25 mm; 6 months after reconstruction, it was 3 mm, showing stability. All patients were satisfied with their results. Conclusion: We conclude that autonomization leads to safe reconstruction of the nipple on burned breasts and maintains a satisfactory minimal projection of the reconstructed nipple.
