Oncoplastic Mammoplasty with disguised geometric compensation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of a cohort of patients submitted to a new technique of oncoplastic mammoplasty, referred to as Disguised Geometric Compensation Mammoplasty (GCM), which is suitable for tumours involving the glandular tissue in the pillars of the mammoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-five breast tumours involving the pillars of the mammoplasty were included, 20 (80.0%) invasive ductal carcinomas, 3 (12.0%) phyllodes tumours, 1 (4.0%) invasive lobular carcinoma, and 1 (4.0%) in situ ductal carcinoma. Preoperative markings followed the "Wise-pattern" technique. The resection of the tumour in the pillar, preserving the overlying skin, was geometrically compensated with a corresponding area coming from the lower poles, which folded over itself and maintained the skin vascularity in the pillar. One patient was converted to classic GCM due to a positive skin margin in the frozen section. Another patient combined a Classic GCM for the inner quadrants and a Disguised GCM for the outer quadrants on the same breast. One patient decided to undergo a bilateral mastectomy after some months because of a BRCA 1 mutation. Immediate fat grafting was done in one case. Approval from the ethics committee: n. 2.322.212. RESULTS: Mean age was 47.0 ± 9.5 years. Mean clinical tumour size was 47.2 ± 22.2mm before chemotherapy and 36.7 ± 22.5mm, after. There were 11 (44.0%) locally advanced and 1 (4.00%) multicentric tumours. Nine (36.0%) were submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Adjuvant treatment was indicated according to the necessity. Ptosis was corrected in all cases. The aesthetic results were rated as excellent or good in 21 (95.5%) cases, by the Harris scale and the BCCT.core. The BREAST-Q scores for the satisfaction with the breasts and satisfaction with outcomes were 81.5 (±15.0) and 90.4 (±11.7), respectively. Intraoperative frozen sections were done in 12 (48%) cases. There was 1 (4.0%) focus of DCIS in the skin margin treated with radiotherapy. Minor complications occurred in 6 (24.0%) patients. There was 1 (4.0%) local recurrence treated with radical mastectomy, and 1 (4.0%) metastasis after 3 months. No deaths were observed within a mean follow-up time of 16.3 ± 11.4 months. CONCLUSIONS: The disguised geometric compensation mammoplasty allowed breast conservation in situations requiring large resection in the pillars of the mammoplasty, with a high rate of free margins, correction of ptosis, satisfactory symmetry, and few complications.

Análise das indicações, achados e complicações da endoscopia digestiva alta em uma população pediátrica / Analysis of indications, complications and found the upper digestive endoscopy in a pediatric population

Introdução: a endoscopia digestiva com aparelhos flexíveis de fibras óticas começou a ser realizada na década de 60 em adultos e, em meados dos anos 70, nas crianças. Desde então, as técnicas e habilidades do método avançaram bastante a ponto do procedimento ser indicado pela maioria dos gastroenterologistas pediátricos para fins diagnósticos e terapêuticos. Objetivo: avaliar as indicações, achados e complicações da endoscopia digestiva alta em uma população pediátrica atendida no Instituto do Aparelho Digestivo de Goiânia. Métodos: foram avaliados dados referentes à identificação, achados endoscópicos e a ocorrência de complicações decorrentes do exame e/ou sedação de pacientes, com idade de zero a treze anos, submetidos à endoscopia digestiva alta (EDA). Resultados: durante o período foram realizados 312 exames de EDA em um grupo que teve média de idade de 6,4 ± 4,0 anos, variando de 9 meses a 13 anos, dos quais 156 (50,0%) eram do gênero masculino. A dor abdominal (DA) foi a principal indicação, sendo o motivo para realização do exame em 129 (41,3%) pacientes, seguida da suspeita de doença do refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE) em 110 pacientes (35,3%) e da suspeita de alergia alimentar (AA), não incluindo a suspeita de esofagite eosinofílica (EoE) em 21(6,7%). Dentre os achados endoscópicos, a esofagite péptica isolada ou associada a outros achados estava presente em 252 (80,8%) pacientes; a duodenite isolada ou não foi observada em 128 (41,0%) pacientes e a gastrite isolada ou não em 56 (17,9%). O exame foi normal em 26 (8,3%) pacientes, dos quais 18 (69,2%) eram do sexo feminino e 8 (30,8%) masculino. A DA foi a indicação para a realização do exame em 17 (65,4%) destes pacientes, seguida por suspeita de DRGE em 5 (19,2%) pacientes. Não foram observadas complicações relacionadas nem ao procedimento anestésico, nem tão pouco ao procedimento endoscópico. Conclusão: no presente estudo, 91,7% da população apresentaram alterações endoscópicas, sugerindo que a nossa população foi adequadamente triada. No presente estudo, a principal indicação do exame foi a DA (41,3%), seguida da suspeita de DRGE (35,3%) e da suspeita de AA (6,7%).

Endoscopy with flexible fiber optic devices began to be held in the 60s in adults and in the mid 70s in children. Since then, techniques and abilities of this method made significant progress, the point of the procedure is indicated by most pediatric gastroenterologists for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Aim: Evaluate the indications, findings and complications of upper endoscopy in a pediatric population treated at the Institute of Digestive Goiânia. Methods: we avaluate data about identification, endoscopic and complications arising from the examination and / or sedation of patients aged from zero to thirteen years who underwent upper endoscopy (EDA). Results: in the period 312 EDA were performed, the mean age of the group was 6.4 ± 4.0 years, ranging from 9 months to 13 years, of whom 156 (50.0%) were male. Abdominal pain (DA) was the main indication being the reason for the examination in 129 (41.3%) patients, followed by suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in 110 patients (35.3%) and suspected food allergy (AA), not including the suspected eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), 21 (6.7%). Among the endoscopic findings, peptic esophagitis alone or associated with other findings was present in 252 (80.8%) patients; duodenitis alone or not was observed in 128 (41.0%) patients and gastritis alone or not in 56 (17.9%). The examination was normal in 26 (8.3%) patients, of whom 18 (69.2%) were female and 8 male (30.8%). The DA was the indication for the examination in 17 (65.4%) of these patients followed for suspected GERD in 5 (19.2%) patients. No complications related to EDA or anesthetic procedure were observed. Conclusion: In this study, 91.7% of the population had endoscopic changes, suggesting that our population has been adequately screened. In the present study, the main indication for examination was the DA (41.3%), followed by suspected GERD (35.3%) and suspicion of AA (6.7%).
