Abstract
Background: Fat transfer has been widely used after breast conservative surgery (BCS) where it aims to recover shapes as a simple, inexpensive, biocompatible method but the technique is not without complications. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a promising approach to enhance fat graft survival and subsequently improve the outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of enriching fat graft with PRP for delayed correction of deformities after conservative surgery for breast cancer regarding esthetic outcome and incidence of complications.
Methods: The current study included 50 female patients who were scheduled for delayed lipofilling for correction of deformities after conservative surgery for breast cancer. The studied patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups: Group I (G I) included 25 patients scheduled for PRP enriched lipoinjection and Group II (G II) included 25 patients scheduled for lipoinjection without PRP as a control group.
Results: Number of sessions of lipoinjection was significantly less in G I in comparison to G II (P = 0.024). During the 2nd session; the amounts of fat injected and harvested were significantly less in G I in comparison to G II (P = 0.049 and 0.001 respectively). Recipient site complications were significantly more evident in G II in comparison to G I (P = 0.01). Surgeon and patient satisfactions were significantly more evident in GI in comparison to G II (P = 0.005 and 0.029 respectively).
Conclusion: The addition of PRP to fat grafts is a simple, cost-effective and safe method to improve esthetic outcome and decrease complications.
背景:脂肪移植作为一种简单、廉价、生物相容性好的方法,在乳房保守手术(BCS)后被广泛用于恢复外形,但该技术并非没有并发症。富血小板血浆(PRP)是一种很有前景的方法,可提高脂肪移植的存活率,从而改善手术效果。本研究的目的是评估在乳腺癌保守手术后延迟矫正畸形时使用富血小板血浆进行脂肪移植对美学效果和并发症发生率的影响:本研究包括50名女性患者,她们在乳腺癌保守手术后被安排进行延迟脂肪填充以矫正畸形。研究对象被随机分为两组:第一组(G I)包括25名计划接受富含PRP脂肪注射的患者,第二组(G II)包括25名计划接受不含PRP脂肪注射的患者作为对照组:结果:与 G II 相比,G I 组的脂肪注射次数明显较少(P = 0.024)。在第 2 次注射中,G I 组注射和抽取的脂肪量明显少于 G II 组(P = 0.049 和 0.001)。G II 与 G I 相比,受体部位并发症明显增多(P = 0.01)。GI 与 G II 相比,外科医生和患者的满意度明显更高(P = 0.005 和 0.029):结论:在脂肪移植中添加 PRP 是一种简单、经济、安全的方法,可改善美学效果并减少并发症。
期刊介绍:
The recent expansion of work in the field of breast cancer inevitably will hasten discoveries that will have impact on patient outcome. The breadth of this research that spans basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and public policy poses difficulties for investigators. Not only is it necessary to be facile in comprehending ideas from many disciplines, but also important to understand the public implications of these discoveries. Breast Disease publishes review issues devoted to an in-depth analysis of the scientific and public implications of recent research on a specific problem in breast cancer. Thus, the reviews will not only discuss recent discoveries but will also reflect on their impact in breast cancer research or clinical management.
