Protocol of Postmastectomy Immediate Breast Reconstruction for Patients with Breast Cancer and Its Outcomes

    Graphical Abstract
    • Abstract
  •   Objective  To explore the clinical and financial significance of establishing an optimal protocol for immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
      Methods  Totally 28 women who underwent immediate reconstruction(IR) and 52 patients who underwent delayed reconstruction(DR) after mastectomy were enrolled in this study. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by SF-36 health survey. The average health care expenditures, duration of hospital stay, and complications were analyzed.
      Results  Within 1-5 years of follow-up, no significant difference was found between these two groups and the healthy control group in all 8 dimensions of SF-36. The average health care expenditures and hospital days were significant lower in IR group than in DR group.
      Conclusion  Immediate breast reconstruction has better economic and clinical outcomes than delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy, and therefore deserves further application.
