ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background: the use of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) in local advanced breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NQT) is increasing, despite few studies on the subject. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the safety of NSM after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: for this systematic review we searched MEDLINE; Cochrane; Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO); Embase and Scopus. A literature search of all original studies including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies and case-control studies comparing women undergoing NSM after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer was undertaken. Outcomes were locoregional recurrence (LRR), nipple recurrence and distant recurrence (DR). Data analysis was undertaken to explore the safety of NSM after NQT. The quality of the evidence was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool. This study is registered on PROSPERO, number CRD42021276778. Findings: a total of 437 articles were identified. Four articles were included with 1466 patients all of which had a high to serious risk of overall bias. Local recurrence in the NSM after the NQT group ranged from zero to 9.8%. Nippleareolar complex (NAC) recurrence ranged from zero to 2.1%. The distant recurrence rate ranged from 6.5% to 16%. Due to the lack of pattern among the control groups, it was not possible to perform a meta-analysis. Interpretation: this review provides information for decision making in performing NSM after NQT. Despite the low rates of local recurrence and patients should be counseled about limited oncological information.
RESUMO Introdução: O uso de mastectomia preservadora de complexo aréolo-papilar (MPCAP) no câncer de mama localmente avançado após quimioterapia neoadjuvante (QTN) é crescente, apesar de ainda haver poucos estudos abordando o assunto. O objetivo desta revisão sistemática foi determinar a segurança da MPCAP após a quimioterapia neoadjuvante. Métodos: para esta revisão sistemática, pesquisamos no MEDLINE; Cochrane; Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO); Embase e Scopus. Foi realizada uma busca na literatura de todos os estudos originais, incluindo ensaios clínicos randomizados, estudos de coorte e estudos de caso-controle comparando mulheres submetidas a MPCAP após quimioterapia neoadjuvante para câncer de mama. Os desfechos foram recorrência locorregional, recidiva em papila e recorrência à distância. A análise dos dados foi realizada para avaliar a segurança da mastectomia preservadora de complexo aréolo-papilar após o QTN. A qualidade da evidência foi avaliada com a ferramenta de avaliação de risco de viés da Cochrane - ROBINS-I. Este estudo está registrado no PROSPERO, número CRD42021276778. Resultados: Um total de 437 artigos foram identificados. Quatro artigos foram incluídos na análise, totalizando 1466 pacientes, todos com risco de viés geral moderado a alto. A recorrência local no grupo MPCAP após QTN variou de zero a 9,8%. A recorrência no complexo aréolo-papilar (CAP) variou de zero a 2,1%. A taxa de recorrência à distância variou de 6,5% a 16%. Devido à falta de padrão entre os grupos de controle, não foi possível realizar uma meta-análise. Interpretação: esta revisão fornece informações para a tomada de decisão na realização de NSM após QTN. Apesar das baixas taxas de recorrência local, os pacientes devem ser orientados sobre as informações oncológicas limitadas.
ABSTRACT
Minimal invasive surgical technique has been increasingly applied to breast surgery. Since the first robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy was introduced, we have been performing nipple-sparing mastectomy using multi-port robotic surgical system. Last year, the new robotic surgical system with single port was introduced. We report the development of a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction through a single incision using the updated single-port surgical robot system for a patient with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Breast reconstruction was performed using implants. Postoperative pathological examination revealed DCIS in both breasts. There were no major immediate complications, except for a minor skin burn on the right breast. Overall, the initial operation using the updated platform was safely performed.

Various reconstructive and/or oncoplastic options are available for breast cancer patients. In properly selected patients, autologous tissue-based reconstruction usually results in aesthetic, natural breasts. The choice of a reconstructive option for a breast cancer patient is a multifactorial decision that should consider the patient's values and preferences, as well as oncologic variables. A case of a 47-year-old woman who underwent bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and bilateral abdominally-based reconstruction despite having unilateral breast cancer. Right SSM and left lumpectomy were indicated for ductal carcinoma in situ in the right breast and benign tumors with microcalcifications in the left breast. The patient had very small breasts and wished for larger breasts, using her own tissue, to be created in a single-stage operation. Right SSM and left subcutaneous mastectomy were followed by bilateral free transverse rectus abdominis flap reconstruction and nipple sharing.

Preservation of the breast skin envelope during immediate implant-based breast reconstruction is important for producing symmetrical and natural-looking breasts. We propose the lazy S design for the closure of round-shaped wounds with the hope of improving the aesthetic outcomes and reducing the tension on the wound by preserving the skin. Additionally, the direction of tension is dispersed due to the shape of this design. Patients undergoing implant reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy may benefit from the lazy S design.

BACKGROUND: In the literature on nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with one-stage immediate implant reconstruction, contralateral symmetrisation has drawn little attention, with many surgeons still performing standard cosmetic mammaplasty procedures. However, standard implant-based mammaplasty usually does not result in proper symmetry with the mastectomy side, especially regarding breast projection, overall shape, and volume distribution. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 19 consecutive patients undergoing unilateral NSM with immediate prosthetic reconstruction and contralateral simultaneous symmetrisation by using the tailored reduction/augmentation mammaplasty technique between June 2012 and August 2013. RESULTS: The average follow-up time was 13 months (range, 10-24 months). No major complications, such as infection, haematoma, and nipple-areola complex necrosis, were experienced. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience suggests that simultaneous contralateral symmetrisation with tailored reduction/augmentation mammaplasty after unilateral immediate implant reconstruction after NSM facilitates durable and pleasant symmetric outcomes.
