Influence of incision site on postoperative outcome in skin-/nipple-sparing mastectomy: Is there a difference between radial and inframammary incision?
Breast Care Sep 11, 2019
Lanthaler M, Spinelli R, Tasch C, et al. - Researchers investigated if the radial and the inframammary approach in nipple-/skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction differ in outcomes. They divided 28 patients into two groups: group 1: radial incision; group 2: inframammary fold incision [IMF]; each of these group consisted of two subgroups undergoing direct-to-implant reconstruction (1a, 2a) and expander reconstruction (1b, 2b). Each subgroup included seven patients. As per outcomes, implant breast reconstruction in both groups had good results, with minimally better results for the IMF group. The radial group showed slightly better results in the direct-to-implant subgroups.
