Breast conserving surgery (BCS) with lateral tissue flap (LTF) reconstruction offers a safe and effective treatment for early breast cancer. This method avoids additional surgeries and complications, maintaining good long-term results.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is a standard treatment for early breast cancer.
  • In Japan, BCS for tumors under 3 cm surpassed mastectomy in 2003.
  • Immediate reconstruction is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCS with primary reconstruction using a lateral tissue flap (LTF).
  • To assess the local relapse rate and advantages of LTF reconstruction compared to other methods.
  • To determine if irradiation can be spared for low-risk patient groups.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 266 patients who underwent BCS with LTF reconstruction between 1990 and 2002.
  • Comparison of local relapse rates with existing literature, including studies with irradiation.

  • Evaluation of advantages such as avoiding polysurgery, flap volume maintenance, and avoiding prosthesis complications.

    • Main Results:

    • The study included 266 patients treated with BCS and LTF reconstruction from 1990-2002.
    • The local relapse incidence was 5.6%.
    • LTF reconstruction avoided poly-surgery, maintained graft volume longer than musculocutaneous flaps, and prevented issues associated with prostheses.

    Conclusions:

    • Breast conserving surgery with immediate volume replacement using LTF is a viable and advantageous surgical option.
    • This technique avoids unnecessary reconstructive procedures and surgical invasion.
    • It allows for timely diagnosis of local relapse and can spare low-risk groups from irradiation.
