Evaluation of Immediate Breast lipomodelling with Breast conserving surgery in Breast Cancer Patients.
Professor, Department of Experimental and Clinical Surgery Medical Research Institute - Alexandria University Prof. Dr. Ahmed Saad Ahmed.
Introduction. [image].
Breast Cancer *The most common malignancy affecting females worldwide in 2018. *11.6% of all newly diagnosed cancer patients worldwide. *6.6% of deaths among all. (Bary et al.,2018).
Restoring an acceptable cosmetic outcome after breast cancer surgery now constitutes a crucial element of the treatment process *Restoring body image, improves vitality, femininity and sexuality *Will have positive impacts on patients' psychological well-being and quality of life, especially in young women.
*Treatment has been evolved from aggressive to minimally invasive techniques over the last century *OPS became a revolution in conservative management of breast cancer in the last two decades However,….
Longer duration of intervention and well-trained surgeons are required to obtain optimal results..
BCT(BCS+RT) *Appropriate for most women with early-stage Breast cancer. *Is the standard for tumour < 3cm. *Many series adopt BCT for up to 4 cm tumors,or even larger for intraductal cancer with the use of neoadjuvant therapy..
*BCS main issue is to remain the compromise between wide excision with clear margin and a satisfactory aesthetic result. *Although defects can be managed with primary closure BUT cosmetic outcome may be unpredictable and frequently achieve unsatisfactory outcome *10 to 30% of patients submitted to BCS are not satisfied with their aesthetic outcome. (Losken et al;2009).
*The main reasons of such poor aesthetic results are related to the tumour resection. *Asymmetry retraction and volume changes. In addition, radiation can also have a negative effect on the native breast *The idea to substitute the removed volume immediately by successful application of immediate lipomodelling as a method for replacing lost volume is a recent development, signifying an innovative approach to volume replacement procedures.(Biazus et al;2015).

THE AIM OF THE WORK WAS. Evaluate efficacy, complications, patient satisfaction, and esthetic outcomes of immediate Lipomodelling used for correction of deformities resulting from breast conserving surgery for breast cancer patients. To.

Eligibility criteria: *female patients with breast cancer eligible to conservative breast surgery according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. *Small and moderate size breasts. *Solitary mass (maximum tumor size is 3 cm). *Clinical stage I, and II..
Exclusion criteria: *Centrally located tumour. *Bleeding disorders *DCIS more than 40% in tru-cut biopsy *Large breasts *Multicentric tumour. *Smokers.
5. Pre-operative work up. 1 Complete history taking stress on previous anti-cancer therapy.
*Tumor sites marked and injected with methylene blue to detect sentinel lymph nodes in cases of clinically and radiologically negative axilla. *The donor site for fat harvesting was prepared *Surgical excision of the mass with adequate safety margins. *The lipomodeling was prepared using the Coleman technique.
Infiltration of Klein's solution containing local anesthetic 10cc lignocaine + 0.25 mg adrenaline in 500 cc Ringer's solution..
Liposuction by slight negative pressure by blunt tipped Coleman's cannula 2 mm mounted over 50 cc Luer Lock syringe.
After centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes the fat is separated into 3 layers: upper oily layer, middle purified fat and lower blood and debris..
Purified fat is transferred to 3 and 1 cc Luer Lock syringes.
*Closure of primary defect directly by glandular flap advancement of the breast tissue. This leads to a defect in the shape of breast *Correction by injection of fat in the subcutaneous tissue in different tunnels away from tumor cavity to restore the contour of the breast.

Instead of that, we perform the lumpectomy and close the cavity created with absorbable stitches, deforming areas distant from the lumpectomy bed (lower left). The lipoinjection is performed in the deformity areas, distant from the tumor bed (lower right)..
*The amount of injected fat was guided by many factors as weight of the specimen, backflow of injected fat from subcutaneous tissue, and whiteness or firmness of the skin *This was followed by the closure of the skin in a neat way..

Patients were followed up for early and late postoperative complications. Patients were followed up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months for the detection of oncological recurrence. Mammography at 12,24 months The statistical analysis of data was done.

Weight resected ranged from 52-128 gm with mean value 93.7 ± 21.73 gm. Volume injected ranged from 65-159 ml with mean value 105.04 ± 27.26 ml. The period of follow up ranged from 24 –38 months with a mean of 31.02 ± 4.47 months..
