Summary

Plastic surgeons favor immediate breast reconstruction using implants, with cost and training influencing choices. Autologous reconstruction is less common, despite perceived benefits for symmetry.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Multidisciplinary breast cancer management shows variations in reconstructive options and care.
  • Plastic surgeon perspectives on breast cancer management and reconstruction are crucial for understanding practice patterns.
  • Factors influencing reconstructive choices require evaluation to optimize patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate plastic surgeon perspectives on key issues in breast cancer management and reconstruction.
  • To identify factors influencing the choice between different breast reconstruction techniques.
  • To understand current reconstructive practices among plastic surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Survey of plastic surgeons treating early-stage breast cancer patients (Stages 0-II) identified via Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries.
  • Data collected on specific reconstruction practices, including timing, technique, and influencing factors.
  • Analysis of responses from 134 plastic surgeons (74.4% response rate).

Main Results:

  • Immediate reconstruction (79.7%) and expander/implant techniques (72.6%) were most common.
  • Reimbursement influenced autologous reconstruction rates (32.1%).
  • Surgeons perceived surgeon training, OR time, and reimbursement as barriers to autologous reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Modern plastic surgery practices favor immediate and implant-based breast reconstruction.
  • Autologous reconstruction is perceived to be negatively influenced by factors like surgeon training, operating room time, and insurance reimbursement.
  • Patient-initiated discussions regarding contralateral prophylactic mastectomy were common.
