  • Clinical Application of Immediate Breast Reconstruction Using Silicon Implant after Skin-Sparing Modified Radical Mastectomy

    ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of immediate breast reconstruction using silicon implant after skin-sparing modified radical mastectomy for patients with breast cancer. MethodsA total of 28 patients with breast cancer undergoing immediate breast reconstruction using silicon implant after skin-sparing modified radical mastectomy from January 2006 to December 2009 were included in this study. The perioperative results, breast appearance evaluation and followup results were analyzed. ResultsAll 28 patients received axillary lymph node dissection and the number of lymph node dissected was 14-32 (median 21). The operation time was 117-140 min (mean 126 min), blood loss was 82-124 ml (mean 98 ml), and the time to drainage tube removal was 3-5 d. No wound infection, skin necrosis, and foreign body reaction occurred in all the patients, especially in 22 patients underwent nippleareola complex-sparing mastectomy, no ischemia or necrosis occurred in nippleareola complex. For evaluation of breast appearance, excellent was in ten cases and good in 18 cases, thus, the excellent and good rate was 100%. All patients were followed up for 12-48 months (median 24 months) after operation, and distant metastasis, local recurrence, upper extremity edema, and dysfunction were not found. No fiber kystis contracture was found and all patients were satisfied with breast appearance and good handfeels. ConclusionsImmediate breast reconstruction using silicon implant after skinsparing modified radical mastectomy has the advantage of minimal invasion, safety, simple operation, and quick postoperative recovery for patients with breast cancer and the appearance of reconstructed breast is excellent, which can be clinically used widely.
