Breast Reconstruction After Breast Cancer Surgery with Immediate Autologous Flap Reconstruction in Phrachomklao Hospital
Keywords:
immediate autologous breast reconstruction, transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM flap), latissimus dorsi flap (LD flap)Abstract
Objective: Breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery with immediate autologous flap was starting to be done for the first time in Phrachomklao Hospital, Phetchaburi. The result improved lifestyle after breast surgery, decreased risk of chronic wound and reduced the burden of being referred to other hospitals.
Methods: There are two types of breast reconstruction technic: transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap (TRAM flap) and latissimus dorsi flap (LD flap).
Results: The number of patients underwent immediate breast reconstruction was 10 cases (TRAM flap 7 cases, LD flap 3 cases). The patients' mean age was 36.5 years. Partial skin gangrene at wound edges was found in 2 cases after TRAM flap. The contours and volume of the reconstruction breast were better in TRAM flap than LD flap. There were no complications of the reconstructive areas after radiation.
Conclusion: The procedures were starting to be done for the first time in Phrachomklao Hospital, Phetchaburi. This is a very useful thing for the patients and begins the development of plastic surery in the hospital.
