This study was conducted aiming to assess the quality of life and satisfaction of women who had mastectomy treated with and without breast reconstruction.
A total of 81 women who had mastectomy were included, of whom 53 (65.4%) underwent breast reconstruction. Quality of life was not significantly better in the reconstruction group than the nonreconstruction group. Satisfaction with the surgically operated breast, whether reconstructed or not, was positively correlated with quality of life (p = 0.004). There was no significant difference in quality of life between women with immediate and late reconstruction. This study showed that the satisfaction of patients with the operated breast, reconstructed or not, is more important in quality of life than whether the breast was reconstructed or not. When we analyzed the quality of life of women who had mastectomy who were dissatisfied with their unreconstructed breasts, we observed that nonreconstruction had a negative impact on the quality of life.
本研究旨在评估接受和未接受乳房重建的乳房切除术患者的生活质量和满意度。
共纳入 81 例接受乳房切除术的女性，其中 53 例（65.4%）接受了乳房重建。重建组的生活质量并不明显优于非重建组。无论是否进行手术重建，对手术乳房的满意度与生活质量呈正相关（p = 0.004）。即刻重建和延迟重建的患者在生活质量方面没有显著差异。本研究表明，手术乳房的满意度（无论是否进行重建）对生活质量的重要性超过了乳房是否进行重建。当我们分析对未重建乳房不满意的乳房切除术患者的生活质量时，我们发现未重建对生活质量有负面影响。
