Application of free dermal fat graft in breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Breast conserving surgery has become one of the standard procedures for breast cancer and its oncological safety and cosmetic outcome have been confirmed by a large number of clinical studies. But there are still some patients who are not suitable for breast conserving surgery, they have to undergo total mastectomy or breast reconstruction with more damage. Free dermal fat graft (FDFG) can better solve the problems in breast conserving surgery, especially for cases with large breast tissue defect after lesion excision and upper inner quadrant lesion which makes local plastic surgery difficult. This article reviews the application of FDFG in breast conserving surgery.
