Experiencia en reconstrucción mamaria inmediata con prótesis pre pectoral post mastectomía con conservación de complejo areola pezón

Abstract

 Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world and among Peruvian women. At the moment, breast reconstruction is an important part of the integral treatment of breast cancer because of its impact in the patient´s quality of life. There are many types of breast reconstruction to be chosen according to the characteristics of the patient, such as the disease stage, comorbidities, preferences of the patient, etc. Alloplastic reconstruction is the most common worldwide because it doesn´t generate morbidity in other parts of the body, it requires less time in the operating room, shorter hospital stay and a quicker recuperation period.  Nowadays, the pre pectoral breast reconstruction with implants is a technique used frequently because it respects the anatomical planes, without affecting the pectoralis muscle and it is done just after the mastectomy and in just one time. The objective of this work is to present a case series of patients with immediate breast reconstruction pre pectoral with implants. The inclusion criteria were location of the tumor more than 3 cm from the nipple areola complex, no disease in the nipple areola complex, small or medium breasts with mild or moderate ptosis, adequate thickness of the fat flap evidenced on mammography and non-smokers patients. The results were aesthetically good, and in addition patients reported minimal post operative pain and shorter recovery time.
