    Summary

    Subcutaneous mastectomy is a promising surgical option, feasible in 80% of selected patients for breast removal and reconstruction with few complications. Further advancements in implants and patient selection will enhance its value in breast disease treatment and cancer prevention.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Subcutaneous mastectomy is explored as a prophylactic cancer procedure and a method for breast disease treatment.
    • The study evaluates a 10-year experience with this surgical technique.

    Observation:

    • The procedure was feasible in at least 80% of selected patients.
    • Breast parenchyma removal and reconstruction were achieved without serious complications.

    Findings:

    • Surgical technique and experience improvements are expected to reduce complication rates.
    • Development of better breast implants is crucial for enhancing cosmetic breast surgery outcomes.
    • The efficacy of subcutaneous mastectomy as a prophylactic cancer procedure is linked to advancements in implant-based breast reconstruction.

    Implications:

    • Subcutaneous mastectomy is a justifiable and valuable tool in treating breast disease, including the discovery of occult carcinoma.
    • Further research is needed to refine diagnostic guidelines for selecting appropriate candidates, particularly for potentially malignant breasts.
    • Long-term studies are required to determine the impact on breast carcinoma mortality rates.
