    Summary

    Breast cancer surgery can be simplified to two steps: radical mastectomy followed by tissue expansion reconstruction. This approach maintains surgical radicality and aesthetic outcomes in select patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

    Context:

    • Breast cancer treatment often involves complex surgical procedures.
    • The traditional sequence of mastectomy and subsequent reconstruction can be lengthy.
    • Optimizing surgical timing and outcomes is crucial for patient well-being.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a streamlined two-step surgical protocol for breast cancer patients.
    • To detail a method combining radical mastectomy with immediate tissue expansion reconstruction.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of reducing the demolition-reconstruction sequence.

    Summary:

    • A protocol is presented for a two-step surgical approach in breast cancer.
    • This involves classical radical mastectomy (Patey or Madden) followed by tissue expansion.

  • The procedure is designed to be time-efficient without compromising oncological or aesthetic results.

    • Impact:

    • Potential to reduce the overall surgical time for breast cancer patients.
    • Offers a viable option for maintaining radical surgical principles and aesthetic satisfaction.
    • May improve patient experience by simplifying the treatment pathway.
