This study introduces a breast-conserving surgery with quadrantectomy and lateral tissue flap (LTF) reconstruction. LTF immediate volume replacement showed promising results, with no ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence in the LTF group.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is a standard treatment for breast cancer.
  • Immediate volume replacement following BCS aims to improve cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
  • Traditional methods like latissimus dorsi flap (LDF) have been used, but newer techniques are explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel breast-conserving surgical technique combining quadrantectomy with immediate volume replacement using a lateral tissue flap (LTF).
  • To evaluate the oncologic safety and cosmetic outcomes of the LTF reconstruction method.
  • To compare LTF reconstruction with previous methods and no reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Quadrantectomy based on duct-lobular segmental anatomy.

  • Lateral skin incision for flap harvest without overlying skin removal.
  • Immediate breast volume replacement using LTF in 56 patients.
  • Comparison with 10 patients receiving LDF and 35 patients with no reconstruction.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 101 patients underwent BCS. Four patients (3.9%) developed ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence during a mean 48-month follow-up; none died from breast cancer.
    • Among the 56 patients who received LTF reconstruction, no ipsilateral breast cancer recurrence was observed.
    • Good cosmetic results were achieved in patients undergoing immediate volume replacement with LTF.

    Conclusions:

    • The described breast-conserving surgery with quadrantectomy and LTF immediate volume replacement is oncologically safe and provides favorable cosmetic outcomes.
    • LTF reconstruction appears to be a reliable option for immediate volume replacement after BCS, potentially reducing recurrence rates.
    • This technique offers an effective approach to breast reconstruction following oncologic surgery.
