Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, a standard, optimal surgical procedure is still lacking for gynecomastia. Despite the development of a variety of surgical interventions, these techniques were often limited to patients with Simon I and II. The present study aimed to introduce a novel technique for all types and grades of gynecomastia, and reported the preliminary results. METHODS Patients who received single axillary incision reverse sequence endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-E-NSM) from March 2021 to March 2023 were enrolled at a single institution. The data from 3-month follow-up cut-off were collected prospectively and analyzed to determine the short-term esthetic and safety results of this technique, as well as the learning curve. RESULTS A total of 159 single axillary incision reverse sequence endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy procedures were performed in 81 gynecomastia patients. Among these 81 patients, 7 patients (8.6%) were classified as Simon grade I, 29 patients (35.8%) as grade IIa, 24 patients (29.6%) as grade IIb, and 21 patients (25.9%) as grade III. In the patient-reported cosmetic results, the overall satisfaction score was 8.4 ± 1.4. A total of 74.1% of patients were highly satisfied, and 25.9% were satisfied. The overall complication rate was 10.1%, and only 1 patient had a major complication. According to the cumulative sum plot analysis, approximately 12 cases were needed for surgeon B and 11 cases for surgeon C to decrease their operation time significantly. CONCLUSIONS R-E-NSM is safe and effective for all Simon grade gynecomastia patients, with excellent cosmetic results and a short learning curve. However, a long-term follow-up assessment is still needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Yang Q, Wang Q, Li Z, Fu X, Chen Z, Li H. Clinical effectiveness of transaxillary single-port endoscopic surgery in the treatment of breast benign tumor. World J Surg 2024. [PMID: 39078613 DOI: 10.1002/wjs.12300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Benign breast lumps affect 10% of women in their lifetimes. Endoscopic surgery could be an alternative surgical technique for benign breast tumors because it is performed through small wounds hidden in inconspicuous areas. The aim of this study was to explore the safety and esthetic effects of endoscopic surgery in the treatment of benign breast disease. METHODS This retrospective cohort study analyzed 363 patients with benign breast tumors from August 2021 to December 2023 in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, of whom 118 underwent transaxillary single-port endoscopic surgery and 245 underwent traditional open surgery. Clinicopathologic characteristics, surgery type, hospital stay, and complications were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the procedure for benign breast tumors. RESULTS Breast tumor resection was successfully performed in 363 patients by endoscopic surgery or traditional open surgery. Endoscopic procedures demonstrated longer durations of surgery (98.54 ± 35.17 min vs. 70.28 ± 26.06 min, p < 0.01) and postoperative drainage (64.30 ± 34.92 mL vs.18.49 ± 19.86 mL, p < 0.01), but there was less blood loss. The nipple-areolar complex of the patients who underwent endoscopic resection was significantly more sensitive than the traditional open surgery group. Patients in the endoscopic group reported higher satisfaction with surgical outcome (13.10 ± 1.97 vs. 12.63 ± 1.90, p < 0.01). And there was a significant difference in the wound scar and cosmetic outcome total score between the two groups. CONCLUSION Transaxillary single-port endoscopic surgery is effective and safe and improves postoperative nipple-areolar sensation and cosmetic outcome, as compared to the conventional technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimal access breast surgery improves cosmetic outcomes over conventional breast surgery but still faces barriers in becoming standard procedure for breast reconstruction. This report introduces a novel technique of transaxillary reverse-sequence endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-E-NSM) followed by direct-to-implant prepectoral breast reconstruction (DTI-PBR) and describes its clinical outcomes. METHODS This prospective study enrolled patients who underwent R-E-NSM and DTI-PBR from March 2021 to December 2021 at a single institution. Perioperative data, surgical complications, oncologic outcomes, and patient- and surgeon-reported cosmetic results were noted. RESULTS The 60 patients in this study who underwent 68 R-E-NSM and DTI-PBR had a mean age was 40.4 ± 10.3 years. The average durations of uni- and bilateral operations were 156.5 ± 48.3 min and 191.3 ± 36.1 min, respectively. The overall surgical complication rate was 13.3%, including 10.0% of patients with minor complications and 3.3% of patients with major complications. The study had one case (1.7%) of implant loss and one case (1.7%) of skin flap necrosis treated by reoperation. During the median follow-up period of 24 months, one patient (1.7%) who discontinued chemotherapy for myelosuppression experienced liver metastases 5 months postoperatively, and one patient experienced new-onset contralateral ductal carcinoma in situ 24 months postoperatively. The preoperative and 18-month postoperative Breast-Q scores for satisfaction with breasts, psychosocial well-being, sexual well-being, and chest well-being did not differ significantly, and the Scar-Q was 81.2 ± 14.5 points. The good-to-excellent rate in surgeon-reported cosmetic results reached 90%. CONCLUSIONS Transaxillary R-E-NSM followed by DTI-PBR is a safe and efficient technique with high cosmetic outcomes and reliable medium-term oncologic results.

Abstract
Background Our center proposes a new technique that effectively provides space to broaden the surgical field of view and overcomes the limitations of endoscopy-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (E-NSM) by changing the dissection sequence and combining it with air inflation. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of the new technique designated "reverse-sequence endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-E-NSM) with subpectoral breast reconstruction (SBR)" and the conventional E-NSM (C-E-NSM) with SBR. Method All patients undergoing E-NSM with SBR at our breast center between April 2017 and December 2022 were included in this study. The cohort was divided into the C-E-NSM group and the R-E-NSM group. The operation time, anesthesia time, medical cost, complications, cosmetic outcomes, and oncological safety were compared. Results Twenty-six and seventy-nine consecutive patients were included in the C-E-NSM and R-E-NSM groups, with average ages of 36.9 ± 7.0 years and 39.7 ± 8.4 years (P=0.128). Patients in the R-E-NSM group had significantly shorter operation time (204.6 ± 59.2 vs. 318.9 ± 75.5 minutes, p<0.001) and anesthesia time (279.4 ± 83.9 vs. 408.9 ± 87.4 minutes, p<0.001) and decreased medical costs [5063.4 (4439.6-6532.3) vs. 6404.2 (5152.5-7981.5), USD, p=0.001] and increase SCAR-Q scores (77.2 ± 17.1 vs. 68.8 ± 8.7, P=0.002) compared to the C-E-NSM group. Although trends increased in both the excellent rate of Ueda scores (53.8% vs. 42.3%, P = 0.144), excellent rate of Harris scores (44.0% vs. 63.1%, P=0.102), and decreased surgical complications (7.6% vs. 19.2%, P = 0.135) were observed in the R-E-NSM group, the differences were not significant. There were no significant differences in oncological outcomes between the two groups. Conclusion R-E-NSM improves cosmetic outcomes and efficiency of C-E-NSM, reduces medical costs, and has a trend of lower surgical complications while maintaining the safety of oncology. It is a safe and feasible option for oncological procedures that deserves to be promoted and widely adopted in practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the short operation time and no need for special instruments, reverse-sequence endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-E-NSM) with direct-to-implant breast reconstruction (DIBR) has been rapidly becoming popular in the last three years. However, there has yet to be an evaluation of its oncologic safety or the feasibility of discharging patients within 24 hours. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this single-center retrospective cohort study, individuals diagnosed with stage 0-III breast cancer between May 2020 and April 2022 who underwent traditional open mastectomy or R-E-NSM with DIBR were included. Follow-up started on the date of surgery and ended in December 2023. Data, including demographics, tumor characteristics, medium-term oncological outcomes, and postoperative complications, were collected and analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to minimize selection bias. RESULTS This study included 1679 patients (median [IQR] age, 50 [44-57] years). Of these, 344 patients underwent R-E-NSM with DIBR (RE-R group), and 1335 patients underwent traditional open mastectomy (TOM group). The median [IQR] follow-up time was 30 [24-36] months (29 [23-33] months in the RE-R group and 30 [24-36] months in the TOM group). Regarding before or after PSM, the P value of local recurrence-free survival (LRFS, 0.910 and 0.450), regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS, 0.780 and 0.620), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS, 0.061 and 0.130), overall survival (OS, 0.260 and 0.620), disease-free survival (DFS, 0.120 and 0.330) were not significantly different between the RE-R group and the TOM group. The 3y-LRFS and 3y-DFS rates were 99.0% and 97.1% for the RE-R group and 99.5% and 95.3% for the TOM group, respectively. The rates of any complications and major complications were not significantly different between the RE-R patients who were discharged within 24 hours and the RE-R patients who were not discharged within 24 hours (P=0.290, P=0.665, respectively) or the TOM patients who were discharged within 24 hours (P =0.133, P=0.136, respectively). CONCLUSIONS R-E-NSM with DIBR is an innovative oncologic surgical procedure that not only improves cosmetic outcomes but also ensures reliable oncologic safety and fewer complications, enabling patients to be safely discharged within 24 hours. A long-term prospective multicenter assessment will be supporting.

Abstract
RATIONALE Breast cancer represents a prevalent malignancy that primarily impacts women, with pronounced consequences on their overarching health. The major therapeutic approach, encompassing surgical procedures, can often culminate in mastectomy, potentially inciting psychological turmoil and disorders. PATIENT CONCERNS A patient was admitted to our facility on May 5, 2023, precipitated by the discovery of bilateral breast masses during a routine physical examination conducted 3 days before admission. DIAGNOSIS The breasts were symmetric, with the right nipple inverted and a palpable mass in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast, measuring approximately 5 cm × 4 cm. The mass was firm with indistinct borders, relatively regular morphology, poor mobility, and no tenderness. Outpatient color Doppler ultrasound revealed heterogeneous echogenicity in the right breast, classified as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 0, along with multiple ductal dilatations. The left breast exhibited a hypoechoic area (BI-RADS 3), indicative of proliferative changes. Radiographic mammography confirmed diffuse changes in the right breast (BI-RADS 0) and proliferative signs in the left breast (BI-RADS 2). Biopsy results reveal significant atypical ductal hyperplasia consistent with intermediate-grade ductal carcinoma in situ. This patient was diagnosed as ductal carcinoma in situ of the right breast (cTisN0M0 and Stage 0), accompanied by a left breast mass. INTERVENTIONS On May 15, 2023, the patient was readmitted for further surgical intervention. Following relevant auxiliary examinations, the patient underwent nipple-areola complex-sparing radical mastectomy for the right breast, sentinel lymph node biopsy in the right axillary area, prosthesis-based breast reconstruction for the right breast, and microrotatotomy of the left breast mass on the left side on May 17. OUTCOMES The patient made a successful recovery under scrupulous perioperative supervision and was discharged 7 days post-surgery. LESSONS The axillary approach for endoscopic mammary gland excision and immediate implant reconstruction permits patients to preserve the esthetics of the female form while undergoing conventional medical treatment. This methodology considerably enhances the psychophysical health of the patients, thereby marking it as an advantageous practice worthy of broad dissemination in the medical community.
