Pre Pectoral Implant for Immediate Breast Reconstruction Using Single Port Endoscopy in Prophylactic Indication
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Summary
Implant-based reconstruction is currently the most common choice for mastectomy reconstruction. Whatever the choice of mastectomy incision, a scar remains on or near the breast volume. Current techniques involve partial or total coverage of the implant with the pectoralis major muscle, to prevent exposure or infection. The muscle dissection technique applied has functional and cosmetic consequences. In this study, an endoscopic approach will be evaluated. This new surgical technique, using a single-port endoscopic way, will put the scar is in the axillary area, away from the breast. The hypothesis is that this delocalized scar potentially reduces the risk of exposure and allows placement of the implant in the subcutaneous space, with no manipulation of the pectoralis major muscle.
