BackgroundThere are many different methods used for immediate breast reconstruction, but the advantages and disadvantages between distinct methods are not reported and compared directly.MethodsWe collected the data of patients who underwent breast reconstruction from 2010 to 2015 and classified a total of 103 patients into three groups: i) skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant and partial latissimus dorsi flap (MIPLD); ii) skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy with the whole latissimus dorsi flap (MWLD); and iii) breast-conserving surgery and partial latissimus dorsi flap (BCSPLD). The outcome, safety, and cosmetic outcome of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap with or without implant were reported and compared.ResultsThe procedures were successful in all cases. None of the patients had severe complications. The 5-year distant metastasis-free survival is 94.2%. All the patients exhibited good arm and back function. Based on the evaluation of the BREAST-Q score, the cosmetic outcome of Satisfaction with Breasts was excellent or good in 97.8% of the cases.ConclusionsMIPLD, MWLD, and BCSPLD stand for three distinct methods for immediate breast reconstruction with good outcome and aesthetic effect. They were safe, were easy to perform, and provided quick recovery and good quality of life. Therefore, these three breast reconstructive methods are worthy of widespread use in clinical practice and provide different ways to reconstruct the breast according to the patients’ conditions and preferences.

Introduction. Only few cases of robotic latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction (RLDFR) have been reported in indication of reconstruction for breast cancer (BC). We report our experience of combined robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM) and RLDFR, and analyze technique, indications, and reproducibility. Methods. All patients with R-NSM and RLDFR from November 2016 to August 2, 2018, were analyzed, and technics have been described. Complication rate with Clavien-Dindo grading and postoperative hospitalization length (days) are reported. Results. Thirty-five R-NSM with RLDFR were performed in 22 cases for primitive BC and 13 for local recurrence. In 12 patients, another surgical procedure was performed during the same time (axillary lymph node dissection or contralateral breast surgery). R-NSM was realized through a short axillar incision, with inside-only installation for 12 patients (34.3%): 18 nonautologous and 17 autologous RLDFR associated with implant in 9 patients. In logistic regression, mastectomy weight >330 g was significantly associated with the use of implant (odds ratio [OR] = 17, P = .015), and significant factor of the time of anesthesia ≥380 minutes was 2 installations (OR = 10.4, P = .049). The median duration of hospitalization stay was 4 days. Complications rates were 51.4% (18/35; 9 grade-1, 2 grade-2, and 7 grade-3). In logistic regression, associated other surgical procedure was predictive of grade-3 complications (OR = 6.87, P = .053). Conclusion. We confirmed the reproducibility and safety of R-NSM and RLDFR with a decreased complication rate. NSM was performed in 42.8% of our patients after previous radiotherapy. We observed an increase of grade-3 complications when R-NSM and RLDFR was combined to another surgical procedure.

Introdução: As falhas de cobertura nas extremidades são um grande desafio terapêutico. Dentre as várias opções disponíveis para manejo da cobertura encontra-se o retalho livre do Músculo Grande Dorsal, devido sua grande versatilidade e características anatômicas do pedículo. Objetivo: avaliação da morbidade da área doadora do retalho livre de grande dorsal. Métodos: 7 pacientes avaliados em relação a morbidade da área doadora, seja pelo componente estético, álgico e funcional (amplitude de movimento residual). Resultados: 71,4% dos pacientes repetiriam o mesmo procedimento cirúrgico se necessário. 85,7% indicariam o mesmo procedimento para outros pacientes. Discussão: Devido baixa morbidade da área doadora, o retalho livre de grande dorsal encontra-se uma excelente opção na literatura. Nossos dados corroboram com os resultados apresentados em outros estudos, porém com algumas variações na amplitude de movimento mensurada nos pacientes. Conclusões: Devido grande versatilidade e baixa morbidade na área doadora, o retalho livre de Grande Dorsal é uma excelente opção para falhas de cobertura.Descritores: Retalhos Cirúrgicos; Microcirurgia; Procedimentos Cirúrgicos Reconstrutivos.ReferênciasPederson WC.

Robot-assisted surgery is evolving to incorporate a higher number of minimally invasive techniques. There is a growing interest in robotic breast reconstruction that uses autologous tissue. Since a traditional latissimus dorsi (LD) flap leads to a long donor scar, which can be an unpleasant burden to patients, there have been many attempts to decrease the scar length using minimally invasive approaches. This study presents the case of a patient who underwent a robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy followed by immediate breast reconstruction with an LD flap using a single-port robotic surgery system. With the assistance of a single-port robot, a simple docking process using a short and less visible incision is possible. Compared to multiport surgery systems, single-port robots can reduce the possibility of collision between robotic arms and provide a clear view of the medial border of the LD where the curvature of the back restricts the visual field. We recommend the use of single-port robots as a minimally invasive approach for harvesting LD flaps.
