[Immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of benign breast disease]

Sector resection of the breast is the standard surgical treatment of benign breast disease, but often it has unsatisfactory outcomes. The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with benign breast diseases after sector resection and after modification of the procedure. Classical sector resection was performed on 45 women, 106 - underwent operations with using of plastic surgery elements. The effectiveness of treatment was defined by the presence of complications in the early postoperative period; the quality of life was studied using questionnaires--The Short Form Medical Study (SF-36) and The Breast Evaluation Questionnaire (BEQ)--before surgery and after 3 and 12 months after surgery. After sector resection was 44% of the complications in the early postoperative period, after the developed techniques - 17%. 3 months after the operation quality of life and aesthetic satisfaction of breast in patients of both groups decreased. 1 year after sector resection the rates of satisfaction of breast aesthetic appearance were significantly lower than the preoperative level. In patients after modified operations at 1 year was observed a significant improvement in well-being and satisfaction of aesthetic appearance of breast. The method of sector resection has a greater number of complications; it leads to deterioration of the aesthetic appearance of the breast in 1 year after surgery. Surgery techniques with elements of mammaplasty have fewer complications and improve quality of life after surgery.
