The postoperative outcomes and oncological safety of free dermal fat graft for breast reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer treatment has evolved to focus on not only eradicating the disease but also enhancing the quality of life (QoL) for patients. Free dermal fat graft (FDFG) is used for immediate breast reconstruction (IBR), an emerging technique with the potential for enhanced aesthetic outcomes and improved patient satisfaction. However, concerns remain regarding complications and oncological safety. This study aims to assess the clinical effect, aesthetic outcomes, and oncological safety of FDFG compared to traditional breast-conserving surgery (TBCS) in patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Methods

In this retrospective study, data from a total of 106 breast cancer patients were collected with 52 in the FDFG group and 54 in the TBCS group. Follow-up evaluations
