Application of chest wall perforator flaps in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to explore the application value of chest wall perforator flaps (CWPF) in oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery.

Methods

A retrospective review was conducted on 22 early-stage breast cancer patients who underwent oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery using CWPF between January 2021 and December 2022. This included 4 cases (18.2%) utilizing lateral intercostal artery perforator (LICAP) flaps, 10 cases (45.4%) employing lateral thoracic artery perforator (LTAP) flaps, 4 cases (18.2%) combining LICAP and LTAP flaps, and 4 cases (18.2%) using anterior intercostal artery perforator (AICAP) flaps. The perforators used in this study included lateral thoracic artery perforators (LTAP), anterior intercostal artery perforators (AICAP), and lateral intercostal
