Safety and aesthetic outcomes of double purse-string suture nipple reconstruction in early breast cancer patients undergoing nipple resection and endoscopic skin-sparing mastectomy with breast reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current surgical methods for managing incisions after nipple excision in breast reconstruction patients are limited. However, double purse-string suture (DPS) shows promise in the treatment of nipple excision. This study aimed to investigate the safety and aesthetic outcomes of DPS nipple reconstruction in early breast cancer patients who underwent endoscopic skin-sparing mastectomy (E-SSM) and breast reconstruction.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 87 early breast cancer patients with nipple excision who underwent E-SSM with breast reconstruction. According to the suture methods of nipple incision, all patients were divided into the spindle suture (SS) group, single purse-string suture (SPS) group, and DPS group, with SS and SPS groups
