Combining Wise-pattern Volume Displacement and Autologous Volume Replacement to Facilitate Oncoplastic Breast Conservation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oncoplastic breast conservation has been classically divided into volume displacement (VD) or volume replacement (VR) techniques. There have been few descriptions of merging these two approaches. This report describes our experience combining Wise-pattern VD and autologous VR to repair extensive partial mastectomy defects in patients with ptosis.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who underwent combined Wise-pattern VD surgery and autologous VR by the author from June 2017 to June 2023, with at least 6 months follow-up. Patient demographics, oncological and intraoperative details, and complications were recorded.

Results

Forty patients underwent Wise-pattern VD surgery combined with a medial intercostal artery perforator flap (f
