Combining the Grisotti flap with a secondary dermoglandular pedicle for partial breast reconstruction following contiguous central-inferior segment breast cancer excision

Abstract

A 61-year-old patient (38DD) with multifocal invasive ductal carcinomas requested breast-conserving surgery. An innovative two pedicle combination using a laterally-based Grisotti flap and an inferomedially-based secondary pedicle was designed to reconstruct a combined central breast (NAC included) and inferior segment resection defect. Satisfactory cosmesis with clear resection margins was achieved.

Survivorship and breast cancer: Navigating the continuum of care

“…Healthcare providers play a crucial role in facilitating discussions about reconstruction, addressing survivors' concerns, and coordinating multidisciplinary care to optimise outcomes. [4][5][6][7][8][9] By integrating breast reconstruction into the continuum of survivorship care, healthcare teams can support survivors in reclaiming a sense of wholeness and confidence as they navigate the challenges of posttreatment recovery and adjustment.…”

Breast cancer survivorship: A viewpoint

“…By integrating strategies for managing physical and emotional challenges, it fosters resilience and empowers survivors to embrace life beyond cancer. [5][6][7][8] Furthermore, the article addresses the often-overlooked aspect of survivorship-the psychological impact of cancer diagnosis and fear of recurrence. By acknowledging the real and valid concerns of survivors, it emphasises the importance of psychological support and resilience-building strategies.…”

Enhancing treatment compliance in breast cancer patients: A multi‐faceted approach

“…

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, with millions of new cases reported annually. [1][2][3][4][5] Timely and comprehensive treatment is essential for improving survival rates and quality of life in breast cancer patients. However, noncompliance with treatment protocols, including medication adherence, lifestyle modifications, and follow-up appointments, poses a formidable barrier to effective disease management.
