Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Local flaps offer a safe and effective method for breast reconstruction after partial mastectomy, yielding good aesthetic results with few complications. Further multicenter studies are recommended to confirm these findings.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Breast Reconstruction

Background:

  • Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is a primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer.
  • BCS may lead to breast asymmetry and contour distortion, necessitating reconstruction.
  • Local flaps are an option for reconstruction after partial mastectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review available literature on local flap breast reconstruction techniques following partial mastectomy.
  • To evaluate the safety, reliability, and aesthetic outcomes of local flap breast reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was performed using PubMed.
  • Keywords included "partial breast reconstruction," "local flaps," and specific flap names (e.g., LICAP, ICAP).
  • Studies published in English within the last 20 years, focusing on local flaps after partial mastectomy, were included.

Main Results:

  • The initial search yielded 292 articles; 73 were selected for full-text review.
  • Twenty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria for the final analysis.
  • Local flaps demonstrated a low complication rate and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Local flaps represent a safe and reliable choice for breast reconstruction after partial mastectomy.
  • The available literature indicates favorable aesthetic results and low complication rates.
  • Prospective multicenter studies are needed to further validate these findings.
