Abstract
The development of OBS in the last decade has broadened the general indications for BCS in order to reduce the risk of these deformities and to ensure optimal cosmesis without compromising the oncological safety.
CWPFs can fill the resection deficits, hence prevent consequent deformities. Also offering skin cover for reconstruction if required. These flaps might depend upon TDAP, LTAP, LICAP, or AICAP. They are used for PBR following BCS in particular in the lateral & lower quadrants of the breast.
These VR-OBS approaches have their +ve and -ve aspects. They can preserve the volume / shape of the breast, keeping the LD muscle and don’t need breast operation on the other breast. Nevertheless, they are more complex methods and occasionally are accompanied by donor site and flap morbidities
So, this study was carried out to assess the role of CWPFs for PBR as an OBS in BCS.
The current study was carried out on 20 female patients having BC and candidate for VR-OBS, they were admitted to Surgical Oncology Unit or Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit in Alexandria Main University Hospital.
