“…In recent years, breast-conserving treatment (BCT) has significantly improved esthetic outcomes for many women undergoing surgery for the treatment or prophylaxis of breast cancer. [ 1 – 3 ] However, numerous such women still undergo mastectomy, especially in China, where the rate of BCT is extremely low. [ 4 , 5 ] The disfigurement resulting from mastectomy can lead to poor self-confidence, and correcting it through breast reconstruction can improve psychosocial well-being and quality of life.…”

The study was aimed to evaluate oncological safety and patient satisfaction in relatively late stage breast cancer patients who was treated with skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) followed by breast reconstruction with an extended latissimus dorsi (LD) flap. Oncological safety, postoperative complications, and cosmetic results were retrospectively analyzed in patients who underwent extended LD flap breast reconstruction following SSM between October 2011 and August 2014. A total of 62 patients who underwent 63 breast reconstructions were enrolled in the study. Local recurrence rate was 1.6% over a median follow-up of 63 months. On final aesthetic assessment, 37 reconstructions were rated excellent, 19 good, 5 fair, and 2 poor. Reconstruction-related complications occurred in 22 patients (34.9%); these patients’ satisfaction scores were significantly lower than those of patients without complications (P < .05). Five patients developed shoulder movement limitation, and 2 had minor twitching and pain in the reconstructed breast. However, these patients did not find their problems disabling and were able to live normally. SSM followed by breast reconstruction with extended LD flap can improve patients’ postoperative quality of life and is as oncologically safe as total mastectomy even in patients with tumors of relatively late stage.

Background The lateral intercostal artery perforator (LICAP) flap aims at replacing the excised breast lump with axillary tissue rich blood supply. The purpose of this study is to report the initial results of a modification LICAP flap technique in terms of intraoperative technical feasibility and short-term cosmetic outcomes in the early postoperative period. Methods Modified LICAP flap technique was performed on 36 female patients with pathologically proven BC located in the outer half of the breast in the period from June 1, 2021, to April 30, 2022. Results The LICAP flap modification enabled performing the procedure with the patient in supine position without repositioning. The majority of the patients (90%) had satisfactory early cosmetic results as reported by the patients and oncoplastic independent surgeon. Conclusion Modified LICAP flap reconstruction is feasible to be performed with the patient in supine position without repositioning and it has satisfactory early cosmetic outcomes.
