  • Title: [Subcutaneous mastectomy and reconstruction].
    Author: Schrudde J.
    Journal: Z Plast Chir; 1981 Dec; 5(4):208-17. PubMed ID: 7340267.
    Abstract:
    A method for subcutaneous mastectomy and reconstruction is described. To the patients the results of this method are pleasing. A specific advantage of this method is, that only in 20, 15% of these cases in recent years, we used silicone prosthesis for augmentation. An analysis of 333 cases showed some frightening facts: in 9,26% an invasive carcinoma was found. Furthermore, in 4,44% a lobular carcinoma in situ was found. A preoperative diagnosis was made, only in four of these fourty patients. Therefore, it can be stated that - as reconstruction possibilities by plastic surgery standards are good - a generally restrictive point of view towards the indications to subcutaneous mastectomy should be given up.
