ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Endoscopic-assisted surgery for breast tumors has the advantage of inconspicuous scars, less breast volume loss, and nipple areolar distortion. A novel endoscopic-assisted technique through inframammary fold for excision of fibroadenomas is presented. MATERIALS AND SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Endoscopic-assisted excision of fibroadenoma(s) through inframammary fold was performed in four patients after informed written consent via three ports (12, 5, and 5 mm). Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Score-12 (BCTOS-12) was used to evaluate patient satisfaction after surgery.DISCUSSION:
No intraoperative and wound complication was noted. On median follow-up of 26.5 months, patients reported satisfactory responses to aesthetic and functional outcomes. No scar related complications were noted. Endoscopic-assisted excision of fibroadenoma through inframammary fold can be a safe and feasible option with good aesthetic outcomes.Key words
