ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the cosmetic effect of oncoplastic volume displacement in breastconserving surgery.Methods 43 cases of breast cancer in stages I and Ⅱ with pathological diagnosis by core needle biopsy were operated by extended resection of tumor combined with axillary lymph nodes dissection.Among the patients,wound cavity was repaired by direct skin suture without suture of mammary gland deletion in 22 cases,and another 21 cases were repaired by oncoplastic volume displacement technique in which skin suture followed by freeing remaining breast tissue flap and translocation to repair the mammary defect.All of them were treated with three-dimension conformal radiotherapy,standard chemotherapy and endocrine therapy after operation.3 years after partial removal of breast,a retrospective historical control study had been fulfilled to analyze breast cosmetic results between two groups.Results In direct suture group,the cosmetology score was 4.3 points and fine rate was 40.9% (9/22).In breast reconstruction group.the score was 4.8 points and fine rate was 71.4% (15/21).The breast cosmetic effect in breast reconstruction group was significantly better than that in direct suture group (P<0.01).Conclusion It will get better breast cosmetic results after operation to utilize oncoplastic volume displacement suture technique in breast-conserving surgery.
