Breast Conservation Surgery Using Nipple-Areolar Resection for Central Breast Cancers

Breast conservation surgery using nipple-areolar resection for central breast cancers.

HYPOTHESIS Resection of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) for central breast cancers that involve the nipple or areola, with postoperative radiation therapy, adheres to the oncologic principles established for breast conservation surgery of other breast cancers. Good or excellent cosmetic results can be achieved. The rate of ipsilateral breast recurrence will be similar to that seen with periphe...

Use of preoperative breast ultrasonography for mapping of breast cancer extent improves resection margins during breast conservation surgery.

BACKGROUND Positive margins after breast conservation surgery occur frequently and negatively influence local control rates. HYPOTHESIS Preoperative breast ultrasonography reduces the incidence of positive margins during breast conservation surgery. DESIGN Case-control analysis. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTION One hundred twenty-two consecutive patients with invasive breast cancer were studied....

Leech (Hirudo medicinalis) Therapy for the Treatment of Nipple-Areolar Complex Congestion Following Breast Reduction

مقایسه نتایج ماموپلاستی به روش پدیکول میانی با ماموپلاستی به روش پدیکول تحتانی

Background and Aim: Breast reduction is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures. Many approaches to breast reduction have been described, including medial pedicle and inferior pedicle. The aim of this study was to compare the results of medial pedicle mammoplasty method with inferior pedicle mammoplasty. Methods: Thirty-three consecutive patients who had undergone m...

Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Ptosis: Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction Allows Full Secondary Mastopexy with Complete Nipple Areolar Repositioning

BACKGROUND Patients with moderate to severe ptosis are often considered poor candidates for nipple-sparing mastectomy. This results from the perceived risk of nipple necrosis and/or the inability of the reconstructive surgeon to reliably and effectively reposition the nipple-areola complex on the breast mound after mastectomy. METHODS A retrospective review identified patients with grade II/I...
