Summary

This case report details a novel single-stage breast reconstruction using tissue from contralateral breast reduction. This innovative technique offers a new option for symmetry after mastectomy for breast cancer patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncologic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Breast reconstruction after mastectomy often requires contralateral breast reduction for symmetry.
  • Existing techniques may involve multiple stages or donor sites.
  • A single-stage approach utilizing excised tissue is desirable.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman underwent mastectomy for breast cancer.
  • She had a hypertrophic contralateral breast requiring reduction for symmetry.
  • The excised tissue from contralateral reduction was used for immediate reconstruction.

Findings:

  • A single-stage secondary breast reconstruction was successfully performed.
  • The reconstruction utilized excised tissue from the contralateral reduced breast.

  • Perforant vessels of the internal thoracic artery were the basis for vascular supply.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a novel, single-stage solution for breast reconstruction and symmetry.
    • It potentially reduces operative time and donor site morbidity.
    • This represents the first description of this technique in Denmark, expanding reconstructive options.
