Abstract:
Breast cancer remains one of the most widespread malignant tumors affecting women, with a range of treatment options available, among which surgical intervention holds a central position. Traditional mastectomy, while effective in removing tumors, often results in severe damage to the breast's appearance, triggering significant psychological stress and emotional distress for patients, which in turn may affect their post-treatment quality of life and recovery process. Thanks to advancements in medical technology, a novel approach-laparoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy combined with in situ prosthetic breast reconstruction-has emerged. This innovative surgical method not only ensures thorough tumor resection but also maximizes the preservation of the breast's natural structure and contour, thereby significantly improving the overall aesthetic outcome for breast cancer patients. This study aims to explore the specific impact of this surgical approach on the overall aesthetic appearance of breast cancer patients. It will detail critical elements such as patient selection criteria, comprehensive preoperative preparation, meticulous surgical approach planning, step-by-step surgical procedures, and comparative analyses of postoperative breast appearance. Through this exploration, the study seeks to offer practical references and guidance for clinical practice.
