Since February 1987, reconstruction of the brest by transposition of the contralateral half-brest with myocutaneous flap of pectoralis major muscle was used in 4 cases with successful results. The operation was suitable for those patients having radical mastectomy for early carcinoma of brest, and it was particularly feasible in those patients having benign lesions, trauma or other disorders causing absence of brest, and especially for those patients who had a huse brest of the contralateral side.
【Abstract】 Objective To discuss the aesthetic effect and appl ication of refined incisions in breast reconstructionfor breast cancer patients by the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap. Methods From January 2001 toOctober 2006, 77 cases with breast cancer were treated with TRAM flap to immediate breast recontruction. The patients were all femals, with an average age of 45 years (ranging from 26 years to 53 years). There were 39 cases of left breast and 38 cases of right breast. The disease course was from 1 day to 180 days. There were 11 cases of stage I , 60 cases of stage II and 6 cases of stage III, among which 34 cases were located in the upper outer quadrant, 15 in the lower outer quadrant, 22 in the upper inner quadrant and 6 in the lower inner quadrant. The size of tumors varied from 1 cm to 4 cm. As to the pathologic type, 60 cases were invasive ductal cancers, 12 ductal cancers in situ, 5 invasive lobular cancers; positive lymph node (number: 1-7) happened in 29 cases, while negative lymph node happened in 48 cases. Among the 77 cases, regular shuttle incisions were performed in 35 cases, and refined circle incisions were performed in 42 cases, which were 2 cm away from the breast tumor border. Axillary incision was necessary for the breast tumors located in upper inner, lower inner and upper outer quadrants in order to perform axillary mastectomy. Ten cases were ni pple-areola sparing. The shape, symmetry and incision scar of the reconstructed breast were evaluated and graded. Results There were 6 cases out of 77 cases of breast reconstruction in which partial necrosis happened and the necrosis rate was 7.79%. The time of follow-up was from 13 months to72 months, with an average of 39 months. No recurrence or matastasis happened in 76 cases, and distant metastasis happened only in 1 case. There were 40 cases out of 42 cases with refined incisions which were scored more than 3, and the satisfaction rate was 95.24%. There were 31 cases out of 35 cases with regular incisions which were scored more than 3, and the satisfaction rate was 88.57%. Conclusion The reasonable refined incision based on the location of the tumor is effective to improve the satisfaction rate for the shape of the reconstructed breast.
Objective To investigate the feasibility of reconstruction of the contracted eye socket by an application of the expanded forehead island skin flap with the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries. Methods From June 2002 to June 2005, 6 patients with the eye socket defects were treated with an expanded forehead island skin flap with the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries.There were 4 males and 2 females, aged 16-42 years. The defects were caused bytumors in 2 patients, by trauma in 3, and by chemical burns in 1; the defects were in the left eyes of 4 patients and in the right eyes of the remaining 2 patients, with the illness course of 1 year to 4 years.All the patients first underwent the skin and soft tissue expanding operation on the donor forehead skin area; 1 month later, the transplant of the expanded forehead island skin flap with the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries was performed to reconstruct the eye sockets. The flaps ranged in size from 8 cm×5 cm to 10 cm×6 cm.The appearance and functional recovery of the reconstructed eye sockets were observed after operation. Results The follow-up of all the patients for 1-3 years revealed that the skin flaps survived, with no visible contracture, and the fine sensory function was still present. The artificial eyes could be steadily placed in the reconstructed eye sockets. The donor areas were healed with no visible hyperplastic scars. Conclusion Reconstruction of the eye socket with an expanded forehead island skin flap with the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries is a feasible, effective and simply method, and the patient can have a concealed incision, a satisfactory appearance, and a fine sensory function.
Objective To investigate the results of skinsparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with transverse rectus abdomins musculotaneous(TRAM) flap or latissimus dorsi musculocutaneousflap plus placement of a mammary implant.Methods From June 1997 to June 2002, 11 patients were proven to have ductal carcinoma in situor huge breast carcinoid by pathological examination. The site of the biopsy incision was around the areola. The patients underwent mastectomy with skin sparing by a circumareolar incision and immediate breast reconstruction withTRAM flap or latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap plus placement of mammary implant.Autogenous tissue was used to fill the skin envelop. The second stage operation of nipple-areola reconstruction was performed on the replaced skin.Results Eleven patients were followed up 1 month to 6 years.The operative result was good and all patients had no relapse. The reconstructed breast achieved good results in shape, colour, sensation, symmetry and incision scar. Conclusion The skin sparing mastectomy and immediate autograft tissue breast reconstruction is an ideal reconstructive method for the patients with breast ductal carcinoma in situ or huge breast carcinoid in condition that there were strict operative indication and relapse can be prevented.
Three cases of the defects of theskin and soft tissuess of the heel orsole complicated with defect of thecalcaneus bone from trauma weretreated. Primary replantation andreconstruction surgery was applied.The author believed that the recon-struction of the defect of the heelshould include the repair of the heelstructures and the sensation of the sole.
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the eyelid reconstruction using hard palate mucosa graft after resection of malignant tumor of eyelid. Methods From January 1998 to October2003, 18 cases of malignant tumor of eyelid underwent the eyelid reconstruction with local flap grafting and hard palate mucosa autotransplantation. Of 18 cases, there were 10 males and 8 females, aging from 35 to 67 years. The defect was caused by basal cell carcinoma of eyelid in 10 cases, by carcinoma of meibomian glands in 6 cases and by squamous cell carcinoma of eyelid in 2 cases, including 12 cases of complete eyelid defect and 6 cases of 2/3 eyelid defect. Results The appearance and function of the eyelid in all cases were almost normal after the eyelid reconstruction with hard palate mucosa autotransplantation in replacing posterior layer of eyelid. The complete eyelid closure and no entropion were observed in all cases. The infection and contracture of the graft, immunologic rejection were not observed in allcases during the followup period of 6 to 48 months. Conclusion The eyelid reconstruction using autotransplantation with hard palate mucosa in replacing posterior layer of eyelid was easy-to-operate and has satisfactory clinical effect. The hard palate mucosa as substitute of tarsus is superior to the traditional substitute.
目的探讨提高乳腺癌术后乳房再造质量的途径和方法。 方法对武警北京总队医院2005年9月以来行乳房再造且获随访的37例乳腺癌患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析，就患者满意度和术后并发症分别予以评分，以评价乳房再造术的质量；然后再计算所有病例的平均得分，作为对本组患者乳腺癌术后乳房再造工作的评价参考。 结果满分10分，37例患者中评分无满分者，乳房再造术质量属良好11例，中等19例，较差4例，很差3例；平均得分6.51分，即本组患者行乳腺癌术后乳房再造的最终质量评价为中等。 结论应注意手术方式的选择、医患交流、术后并发症的防治、操作技术水平的提高、加强随访等，才能全面提高乳腺癌术后乳房再造术的质量。
