Background
Oncoplastic Breast surgeries (OBS) in breast cancer have evolved to preserve the cancerous breast rather than its amputation to improve postoperative cosmetic results. The lack of evidence to support the oncological safety and benefits of OBS is questionable. In this study, we evaluate various aspects of oncoplastic surgeries with a focused monitoring of aesthetic results and oncological safety.
Methods
This was a multi-center observational study focused on the statistics of data collected from cases who underwent oncoplastic surgeries from the cohort of breast cancer candidates at Mansoura University Hospitals/Egypt and King Faisal Medical Complex/KSA from January 2015 to June 2018. All data were analyzed carefully using SPSS v-26.
Results
Eighty cases who underwent different oncoplastic surgeries were included and reviewed for the aesthetic outcome and oncological safety. The recurrence rate was found to be 2.5%. The breast impact treatment scale assessment method was used to analyze the aesthetic outcomes, and average scores were accepted in 90% of patients.
Conclusions
The oncoplastic breast surgeries are feasible and they had a high rate of oncological safety with the maintenance of good aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Aim Obesity is a significant global health care issue with a huge impact on individuals' well being. Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure involving the resection of part the stomach leading to reduction in its volume resulting in reduced food intake and weight loss. The objective of our study is to ascertain whether a routine postoperative CT scan is an effective tool for early detection of complications post LSG or notMethods A retrospective descriptive study conducted in a single tertiary center hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia through a period of three months from January to March 2022. Only those patients who had done a sleeve-gastrectomy plus post-operative computed tomography scan were included.Results A total of 112 patients were a part of this study. Among the included patients, 73 (65.2%) were females, and 39 (34.8%) were males, with a mean age of 36.2 [14–70] years; furthermore, the mean body mass index of those patients was shown to be 46.3 [29–77] kg/m2. For surgical complications, 18 (16.1%) cases of anastomotic leaks were radiologically diagnosed making it the most frequent type of surgical complications. Morbidity according to non-surgical complications includes atelectasis, which was diagnosed in 33.9% (38) (of the patients in contrast to cases of pleural effusions which were less occurring in 23.2% (26) of the patients.Conclusion In summary, among our studied cohort, we found that the most commonly detected surgical complication using CT post sleeve gastrectomy was anastomotic leaks, whereas the most non-surgical complication was found to be atelectasis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
