Journal Article
Endoscopy-assisted muscle-sparing Latissimus Dorsi muscle flap harvesting for partial breast reconstruction
2020
Overview
Background
Using the Latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle flap is one of the popular surgical technique for breast reconstruction. However, usually, long postoperative scar was remained on donor site which does not have disease. The authors applied the endoscopy-assisted surgery to harvest the LD muscle flap for breast reconstruction.
Methods
From July 2018 to July 2019, five consecutive patients with breast cancer underwent partial mastectomy with endoscopy-assisted LD muscle flap reconstruction. The clinic-pathologic factors were analyzed and the cosmetic outcomes were assessed with breast shape, scarring of breast and back. A 4–6 cm of lateral incision (donor site scar) was designed and LD muscle was harvested under endoscopic surgery without gas inflation. And the harvested LD muscle was inserted for partial breast reconstruction after the cancer surgery was done.
Results
Mean operative time was 116.4 min (range, 92–134) and there was no major postoperative complication. The satisfactory degree of cosmetic outcomes were shown better in patient’s survey than that of surgeon’s.
Conclusions
The endoscopy-assisted LD muscle flap harvesting would be useful technique to eliminate a large donor site incision in partial breast reconstruction.
