“…Whether worn alone or in conjunction with skin grafts, tattoos can provide excellent areolar combination of colors with limited morbidity. Initially introduced by Rees and Spear in 1975 [1]. Sisti, et al [2] found in the review of literature the tattoo as safer than the graft in the reconstruction of the areola.…”

“…The formation of the Areola-Nipple Complex (ANC) corresponds to the final part of the reconstruction of the breast mound. There are different techniques that allow to improve the anatomical and aesthetic appearance of the breast; in addition to improving biopsychosocial conditions, mastectomized women [1].…”

“…Studies have shown that ANC reconstruction has a high correlation with patient's overall satisfaction and acceptance of body image. The completion of breast reconstruction with the creation of a ANC that coincides with the contralateral nipple (in terms of size, shape, projection and position) is significantly added to the reconstructive results [1,5].…”

Background: Immediate breast reconstruction with tissue expander in patients who were expected to receive adjuvant therapy, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, has been a topic of debate. Postoperative complications from tissue expander procedures can delay the timing of adjuvant treatment and subsequently increase the probability of recurrence. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on postoperative complications in patients who underwent immediate reconstruction (IR) using tissue expander.Method: We conducted a retrospective study of 1,081 breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy and IR using tissue expander insertion between 2012 and 2017 in Samsung Medical Center. The patients were divided into two groups based on complications (complication group vs. no complication group). The complication group had 59 patients (5.5%) and the no complication group had 1,022 patients (94.5%). Results: In univariate analysis, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), pathologic N stage, pathologic prognostic stage, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), adjuvant radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy were significantly associated with postoperative complications. In multivariate analysis, however, higher pathologic N stage was significantly associated with postoperative complications. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy were not risk factors for postoperative complications.Conclusions: IR with tissue expander after mastectomy may be a treatment option even when the patients are expected to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. These results will aid preoperative counseling to patients who are concerned about the complications of IR caused by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

ZusammenfassungDie Rekonstruktion des Mamillen-Areola-Komplexes (MAK) ist ein ästhetisch und psychosozial bedeutender letzter Schritt bei der Rekonstruktion der Brust. Während die Rekonstruktion der Mamille unter Anwendung verschiedener Techniken in zahlreichen Publikationen untersucht wurde, gibt es unseres Wissens nur wenige Studien zu den Langzeitergebnissen nach Rekonstruktion der Areola. Daher untersuchen wir in dieser Studie die Langzeitergebnisse nach Rekonstruktion der Areola bei Frauen mit autologer Brustrekonstruktion. Im Zeitraum von 2014 bis 2016 führten wir in unserer Klinik bei 126 Patientinnen eine Rekonstruktion des MAK durch. Die Areola wurde durch Vollhauttransplantation aus der Leiste oder den oberen Augenlidern rekonstruiert. Insgesamt wurden 27 Frauen mit einem medianen Alter von 52 ± 8,6 Jahren nach einem medianen Zeitraum von 1,7 ± 0,7 Jahren in Bezug auf Farbveränderungen, Größenveränderungen und Zufriedenheit mit dem Rekonstruktionsergebnis der MAK untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen ein deutliches Ausbleichen bei guter Zufriedenheit der Patientinnen mit dem Gesamtergebnis. Wir beobachteten eine durchschnittliche Größenzunahme der neuen Areolen um 13,9 % bei Vollhauttransplantation aus der Leiste und 34,6 % bei Vollhauttransplantation aus den oberen Augenlidern. Die Patientinnen sollten präoperativ über Ausbleichen und Größenveränderungen der neuen Areola informiert werden.
