ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In the past, several publications have described breast reconstruction techniques that utilize the contralateral breast; however, interest diminished because of technical difficulty, scarring, and poor aesthetic results.OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to present a new breast reconstruction technique that uses a combination of the breast-pectoralis flap and the abdominal advancement flap.METHODS:
This retrospective study analyzed the results and complications of 20 consecutive breast reconstructions with the breast-pectoralis flap technique.RESULTS:
The authors present a series of 20 breast reconstructions that utilized the breast-pectoralis flap. Delayed breast reconstruction was performed in 13 cases (65%), breast reconstruction in 5 patients (25%) with Poland syndrome, sequela correction after a chest wall sarcoma in 1 patient (5%), and sequela correction after breast cystic lymphangioma resection in 1 patient (5%). One complication required surgical reintervention without long-term consequences. The outcomes were considered very good in 50% of the cases, good in 45%, and fair in 5%.CONCLUSIONS:
The combination of the breast-pectoralis flap and the abdominal advancement flap is an interesting advance in breast reconstruction. Evaluation of the presented cases suggests wider indications for this technique.
