Trends In Reconstructive Surgery Following Mastectomy At A Single Institution Between 2011 And 2015, Jessica Barton, Jaclyn Malat, Sergio Perez, Michael T. Brown
Research Day
Current trends show that same-day breast reconstruction after oncologic breast surgery is increasing. Data regarding the factors contributing to this increase in oncoplastic surgery is lacking. We examine the timing and type of reconstructive surgery following mastectomy at Reading Hospital between 2011 and 2015. We hypothesized that the majority of women would choose immediate reconstruction rather than delayed reconstruction following mastectomy and that the number of reconstructive surgeries would increase from 2011 to 2015 correlating with the increase in availability and popularity of oncoplastic breast procedures. This retrospective study looked at a total of 579 patients, 129 of which underwent …

Mastectomies for both cancer resection and risk reduction are becoming more common. Existing chest wall irregularities are found in these women presenting for breast reconstruction after mastectomy and can pose reconstructive challenges. Women who desired breast reconstruction after mastectomy were evaluated preoperatively for existing chest wall irregularities. Case reports were selected to highlight common irregularities and methods for improving cosmetic outcome concurrently with breast reconstruction procedures. Muscular anomalies, pectus excavatum, scoliosis, polythelia case reports are discussed. Relevant data from the literature are presented. Chest wall irregularities are occasionally encountered in women who request breast reconstruction. Correction of these deformities is …

Despite the growing elderly population, there is limited research specific to this demographic concerning breast reconstruction (BR). Lack of evidence-based BR recommendations in older populations may contribute to misconceptions and subsequent underutilization of BR, especially autologous BR. Patients who received either deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap BR or tissue expander/implant (TE/I) BR by a single surgeon between July 2011 and July 2015 were surveyed postoperatively by using the psychometrically validated BREAST-Q questionnaire to determine patient satisfaction. Patients were categorized into younger and older cohorts based on median age (55 years) and further stratified based on the type of reconstruction. …
