Surgical and Oncologic Outcomes of Tumescence and Sharp Dissection Versus Electrocautery Dissection in Minimal-Access Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Prosthesis Breast Reconstruction: A Real-World Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimal-access nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate prosthesis breast reconstruction results in better cosmetic outcomes than conventional operation. However, the impact of skin flap development techniques on postoperative complications and long-term oncologic safety is largely unknown. This report describes the surgical and oncologic outcomes of tumescence and sharp dissection compared with electrocautery dissection.

Methods

In this real-world retrospective cohort study, 5436 individuals undergoing NSM from 12 centers in China were identified. After exclusions and propensity score-matching, the study included 1252 patients who underwent minimal-access NSM with immediate prosthesis breast reconstruction between January 2016 and December 2022.
