Main Article Content

Abstract

The study evaluated surgical early results of 37 breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery using inverted-T technique at K hospital from 2017 to 2020. The average age of the patients was 47 years old. More than 70% of patients has C or D bra cups. The mean BMI was 24.3. The average operation time was 130 minutes while the average operation time was 152 minutes for contralateral balancing surgery. The average breast volume removed was 326cm3 with the maximum volume up to 2100 cm3. There were 3 cases in which the first positive resection margin had to be extended immediately, 1 patient had to be re-operated to excise the resection margin again. In terms of aesthetic, 34 patients (91.9%) had beautiful and good aesthetic outcomes; 1 year later, this rate decreased to 86.5%. Complications were recorded as low (10.8%) mostly mild including haemorrhage (1), seroma (1), fat necrosis (1), slow healing wound (1), no complication of nipple-areolar complex necrosis. The inverted-T reduction mammaplasty technique is applied in breast-conserving surgery for patients with breast hypertrophy, multifocal tumors or in difficult locations such as the inner lower or inner upper quadrants of the breast. The technique is relatively safe with low complication rates, mild complications, and good results in terms of aesthetics and oncology.
