[DELAYED AND PRIMARY RECONSTRUCTION OF MAMMARY GLAND IN PATIENTS WITH THE BREAST CANCER]
Oncoplastic surgery for breast cancer offers good outcomes. This study analyzed 75 patients, showing positive results for both immediate and delayed breast reconstruction, aiding rehabilitation after mastectomy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Plastic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Mammary gland cancer (MGC) treatment often requires mastectomy.
- Breast reconstruction is a crucial part of patient rehabilitation.
- Oncoplastic surgery combines cancer removal with breast reconstruction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the immediate and late follow-up results of oncoplastic operations for MGC.
- To evaluate the outcomes of primary versus delayed breast reconstruction.
- To assess the role of oncoplastic surgery in the rehabilitation of MGC patients.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 75 patients with MGC undergoing oncoplastic surgery.
- Inclusion of both primary (53 patients) and delayed (22 patients) breast reconstruction.
- Utilization of musculocutaneous flaps with endoprosthesis in 66 patients.
Main Results:
- Five-year survival rates: 81.8% for delayed reconstruction, 73.6% for primary reconstruction.
- Satisfactory immediate and late follow-up results were achieved.
- Oncoplastic surgery demonstrated effectiveness in MGC treatment and reconstruction.
Conclusions:
- Oncoplastic operations provide satisfactory outcomes for MGC patients.
- These procedures are an essential component of rehabilitation post-mastectomy.
- The study highlights the benefits of integrating cancer surgery with breast reconstruction.

The Mammary Glands
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...
