Breast reconstruction with an autologous lower dermal sling (ALDS) is an established one-stage procedure in patients with moderate to large ptotic breasts. However, this technique is difficult to perform in small and non/minimally ptotic breasts. We describe our experiences from a single institution about a novel Advanced Autologous Lower Dermal Sling (A-ALDS) technique for reconstruction in small breasts. We performed one-stage nipple/skin sparing mastectomies in 61 patients with immediate reconstruction either by Conventional Immediate Breast Reconstruction Surgery or A-ALDS technique. Mean age of study patients was 46.9 years. We observed significantly better cosmetic score and lower immediate complication rate vis-a-vis skin necrosis, implant loss with the A-ALDS technique (i.e., nil versus 3 in Conventional Immediate Breast Reconstruction Surgery (IBRS)). Forty patients completed 12-month follow-up. The PROMs — Patient Reported Outcome Measures (Breast-Q) revealed good to excellent scores for satisfaction with breast, cosmetic outcome, and psychosocial well-being in patients operated with both these techniques. However, sexual well-being was significantly better in the A-ALDS group. The A-ALDS is a novel, cost-effective, and safe technique for immediate one-stage implant-based reconstruction for small breasts. It provides a dermal barrier flap and hence, ensures less complications, excellent cosmetic results, and patient satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
