Skin-sparing mastectomy
Abstract
Background: Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) is a new technique being used in a variety of clinical settings. This article reviews the published data on SSM to establish its current role in clinical practice.
Methods: A Medline search was carried out using the key words 'skin-sparing mastectomy' to identify English-language articles published between 1990 and 2004 and further material referenced in these publications.
Results: SSM is most commonly used for surgical prophylaxis and to treat in situ and early invasive disease in patients who request immediate breast reconstruction. SSM and non-SSM result in similar surgical and oncological outcomes, but skin flap ischaemia is more common after SSM and is associated with a range of risk factors, including smoking.
Conclusion: SSM has become an established procedure in breast surgery, but there is a lack of prospective data on which to make evidence-based decisions about its use in individual patients.
