A challenging surgical technique: single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic surgery for malignant breast tumors is becoming more and more popular and has been applied in the clinical setting. Single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation are rare. Therefore, this study described a new endoscopic technique for breast surgery.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 12 patients with breast cancer diagnosed in the Department of Thyroid Breast Surgery of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected and underwent axillary single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation.
