Endoscopy mastectomy and breast reconstruction: endoscopic breast surgery

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
• Surgical Innovation

Background:

• Breast cancer surgery often involves a trade-off between oncological clearance and cosmetic results.
• Minimizing wound morbidity and maximizing aesthetic outcomes are key goals in breast cancer treatment.
• Current techniques may present challenges in achieving both comprehensive tumor removal and optimal reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate a new external traction elevation method for breast surgery.
• To assess the efficacy of this technique in achieving oncologically thorough glandular removal and axillary dissection.
• To determine the impact of the method on wound morbidity and cosmetic outcomes following immediate autologous reconstruction.

Main Methods:

• The study details a novel external traction elevation technique applied to the breast.
• This method facilitates oncologically sound glandular excision and axillary lymph node dissection.
• Immediate autologous tissue reconstruction is performed following the primary surgical procedure.

Main Results:

• The described technique allows for a complete and precise removal of breast tissue and axillary lymph nodes.
• Application of external traction elevation significantly reduces wound-related complications.
• Patients experience greatly improved cosmetic results after immediate autologous reconstruction.

Conclusions:

• External traction elevation is an effective surgical approach for breast cancer.
• This technique optimizes oncological safety while enhancing aesthetic results and patient satisfaction.
• The method represents a significant advancement in breast-conserving surgery and reconstruction.
