ABSTRACT
AIM: To improve immediate results of treatment in patients with breast cancer using a new method of reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective study included 215 patients with breast cancer. Patients were treated at the Samara Regional Clinical Oncology Center in 2013-2016. Patients of the control group (n=111) underwent subcutaneous mastectomy followed by conventional endoprosthesis deployment with its complete muscular covering. Patients of the main group (n=104) underwent subcutaneous mastectomy with a new method of single-stage reconstruction. RESULTS: Mean time of operation was 115±15 min in the control group and 90±10 min in the main group (p=0.000). Intraoperative blood loss reached 115±15 ml in the control group, 70±10 ml - in the main group (p=0.000). Duration of postoperative lymphorrhea was 14.6±3.5 days in the control group, 10±3.4 days - in the main group (p=0.000). Postoperative hospital-stay was 17.1±3.7 day in the control group and 14.2±2.4 days in the main group (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: New surgical approach significantly improves early outcomes in patients with breast cancer in comparison with those who undergo conventional surgical repair.
