Subcutaneous implant placement by means of a full titanium-coated polypropylene mesh coverage for immediate breast reconstruction in surgery of breast cancer:An analysis of 15 cases
Abstract：Objective To explore the application value of subcutaneous implant placement by means of a full titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TCPM) coverage in immediate breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy. Methods Totally 15 cases of primary breast cancer patients who prepared to receive subcutaneous implant placement by means of a full TCPM coverage in immediate breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy enrolled in Oncology Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2016 to February 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The operation data and the postoperative complications were evaluated. Results Operation time was (156.7±33.7) minutes;the volume and time of drainage were (307.3±51.0) mL and (8.9±1.2) days. All the cases received follow-up. No nipple and skin flap necrosis, seroma, wound dehiscence, infection and graft reaction were observed during a median follow-up time of 5.6(3~8) months. Postoperative appearance:excellent in 10 cases and good in 5 cases. Conclusion Immediate reconstructions with TCPM total implant coverage can be performed without destroying any muscular dissection. The surgical procedure is simplified; the operative time is reduced; no relevant complication increases. TCPM can achieve good cosmetic outcome of reconstructed breasts.
