Popis: | Introduction: Therapeutic mammoplasty (TM) is increasing in popularity as a method for enhancing breast conserving surgery. Studies have shown it’s oncologically safe, whilst improving cosmetic outcome1,2,3. Therapeutic mammoplasty has been gaining popularity in West of Scotland over the past five years. Initially it was thought this may reduce requirement for mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. We have recorded type of surgery patients would have required had they not been suitable for TM, looking at changing demographic of surgical workload. Methods: Prospective data collected about patients undergoing TM in West of Scotland since 2011 in Victoria Infirmary, Western Infirmary and in NHS Lanarkshire. We reviewed clinical indications for TM, surgical alternative, Body Mass Index (BMI) and smoker status. Results: Seventy-nine patients were identified. In 67 cases, alternative surgical option of mastectomy or standard conservation was recorded. Mean BMI was 29. 41% of patients had contralateral surgery for symmetry at the same time. In 28 cases (35%) TM avoided need for mastectomy. In 39 cases (49%) it was felt that cosmetic result would be improved by TM compared with standard conservation. During the study period, rates of mastectomy with immediate reconstruction as a proportion of total number of treated cancers have remained similar. Conclusions: Whilst introduction of therapeutic mammoplasty in our region has improved options offered to patients and likely cosmetic outcomes, it has not had a major impact in reducing mastectomy rates or demand for immediate reconstruction. It has probably increased surgical workload of plastic surgeons as these cases are often performed as joint procedures. References: 1. Iwuchukwu OC, Harvey JR, Dordea M, Critchley AC, Drew PJ.
