Reconstruction of the female breast is becoming ever more frequently requested by patients after mastectomy for cancer. One of the least complex techniques is that of local tissue expansion with a permanent prosthesis. We present our experience and the clinical outcomes of the first 100 patients to have undergone surgery in the 4 years since the introduction of this method of breast reconstruction in our unit. A retrospective study was performed with a detailed questionnaire being sent to each patient for subjective assessment of satisfaction. Data were also collected on the rates of clinical infection of the prosthesis and the need for further surgery, including capsulotomy, nipple reconstruction and contralateral procedures. With 84% expressing their satisfaction at the final result, immediate breast reconstruction is both feasible and highly acceptable to the majority of patients.
乳腺癌乳房切除术后，患者对女性乳房重建的需求日益增加。最不复杂的技术之一是使用永久性假体进行局部组织扩张。本文介绍了自我们单位引入这种乳房重建方法后的4年里，首批100例接受该手术患者的经验和临床结果。我们进行了一项回顾性研究，向每位患者发送详细问卷以进行主观满意度评估。还收集了假体临床感染率以及进一步手术需求的数据，包括包膜切开术、乳头重建和对侧手术。84%的患者对最终结果表示满意，即刻乳房重建对大多数患者来说既可行又高度可接受。
