Breast reconstruction has become integral part of breast cancer treatment. Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP)-based flap is considered the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the patient satisfaction and the incidence of complications in DIEP flaps in an Indian setup for breast reconstruction. This is a prospective, nonrandomized study at a single institute-Manipal Hospitals, Old Airport Road, Bangalore. Eligible patients were women aged between 28 and 60 years with primary breast cancer requiring mastectomy and radiotherapy, who consented for DIEP flap reconstruction. The study includes subjects who had autologous breast reconstruction after mastectomy with DIEP flap between January 2019 and August 2021 that included 31 patients with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Four flaps were turbocharged and 17 flaps were superdrained primarily. The average operative time for the whole procedure by adopting a two-team approach is 353.8 ± 43.793 minutes. About 94.1% patients had excellent aesthetic score results. Six patients developed mastectomy flap necrosis, one had fat necrosis that was managed conservatively, whereas one patient had donor site re-exploration for hematoma. We had no DIEP flap necrosis, seroma, flap site hematoma, or flap failure. Physical well-being module of Breast-Q indicated an average of 83 points, psychosocial well-being module indicated 80 points, whereas sexual scores reverted an average of 77 points. Among satisfaction module, aesthetic outcomes for breast showed an average of 94 points, whereas the donor site had 96 points. Satisfaction with information, surgeon, medical staff each gained more than 87 points. Breast reconstruction with DIEP flap yields good aesthetic outcomes and quality of life in Indian population. The incidence of fat necrosis, flap and donor site complications is less over time and will enhance the patient satisfaction score further.
乳房重建已成为乳腺癌治疗不可或缺的一部分。基于腹壁下深动脉穿支(DIEP)皮瓣被认为是自体乳房重建的金标准。
本研究的目的是评估在印度进行乳房重建的DIEP皮瓣患者的满意度和并发症发生率。
这是一项在班加罗尔老机场路马尼帕尔医院单机构进行的前瞻性、非随机研究。符合条件的患者为年龄在28至60岁之间、患有原发性乳腺癌需要进行乳房切除术和放疗且同意进行DIEP皮瓣重建的女性。
该研究纳入了2019年1月至2021年8月间接受DIEP皮瓣乳房切除术后自体乳房重建的受试者,共31例,至少随访2年。4例皮瓣进行了增压处理,17例皮瓣主要进行了超引流。采用双团队方法进行整个手术的平均手术时间为353.8±43.793分钟。约94.1%的患者获得了优异的美学评分结果。6例患者出现乳房切除皮瓣坏死,1例出现脂肪坏死,经保守治疗,1例患者因血肿进行了供区再次探查。我们没有出现DIEP皮瓣坏死、血清肿、皮瓣部位血肿或皮瓣失败。Breast-Q的身体幸福感模块平均得分为83分,心理社会幸福感模块为80分,而性评分平均恢复为77分。在满意度模块中,乳房美学结果平均得分为94分,而供区为96分。对信息、外科医生、医护人员的满意度均超过87分。
DIEP皮瓣乳房重建在印度人群中产生了良好的美学效果和生活质量。随着时间的推移,脂肪坏死、皮瓣和供区并发症的发生率较低,并将进一步提高患者满意度评分。
