“…A mosque pattern was marked around the new nipple location, and the medial and lateral margins of the skin resection were patterned using the Lassus manoeuvre. [24][25][26] The superior-medial pedicle was marked with a width of 6-8 cm, depending on the volume of the breast and planned tissue resection. The base width of the pedicle included 5 cm of the medial pillar on the vertical limb 1-3 cm from the medial part of the mosque.…”

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Our experience with the vertical scar superior-medial pedicle reduction pattern approach to oncoplastic breast surgery was highly rewarding. This technique is based on the Hall-Findlay vertical reduction mammaplasty 24 and has several advantages over other reduction pattern oncoplastic techniques. It is relatively simple and has a short learning curve.…”

“…It involves a straightforward glandular resection and shorter skin incisions, resulting in a shorter duration of surgery. 24 Furthermore, the superior-medial pedicle offers a reliable NAC for different breast sizes as well as versatility for different tumour locations and tissue rearrangement. [24][25][26] The tumour location in this series was in the inferior and lateral poles of the breast, with 1 patient having a tumour under the NAC (Fig.…”

Background: Oncoplastic breast reduction in women with medium to large breasts has reportedly benefitted them both oncologically and cosmetically. We present our experience with an oncoplastic breast reduction technique using a vertical scar superior-medial pedicle pattern for immediate partial breast reconstruction.Methods: All patients with breast tumours who underwent vertical scar superiormedial pedicle reduction pattern oncoplastic surgery at our centre between September 2006 and June 2010 were retrospectively studied. Follow-up continued from 12 months to 6 years.Results: Twenty women (age 28-72 yr) were enrolled: 16 with invasive carcinoma and 4 with benign tumours. They all had tumour-free surgical margins, and no further oncological operations were required. The patients expressed a high degree of satisfaction from the surgical outcome in terms of improved quality of life and a good cosmetic result. Conclusion:The vertical scar superior-medial pedicle reduction pattern is a versatile oncoplastic technique that allows breast tissue rearrangement for various tumour locations. It is oncologically beneficial and is associated with high patient satisfaction.Contexte : Chez des femmes qui avaient une poitrine de moyenne à volumineuse, la réduction mammaire oncoplastique aurait exercé des bienfaits, tant au plan oncologique que cosmétique. Nous présentons notre expérience d'une technique de réduction mammaire oncoplastique à cicatrice verticale et pédicule supéromédian pour une reconstruction mammaire partielle immédiate.

“…Despite more recently popularized techniques of breast reduction as described by Hamdi [8], Lejour [9], Hall-Findlay [10], Benelli [11], Goes [12], Graf [13] and the inferior pedicle reduction mammaplasty is still very popular because of its well recognized advantages. Firstly, this technique can be utilized with almost all breast sizes (more than 2000 g per breast) and even in cases of gigantomastia it is possible to avoid free nipple grafts [14].…”

The “Dermal Cage”: A Modification of the Inferior Pedicle Breast Reduction

et al. 2013

Abstract:In spite of more recent techniques for breast reduction, the inferior pedicle technique has proven to be enduring being a still a very popular option in the plastic surgeons armamentarium despite certain shortcomings. This utility is especially so for the treatment of large breasts with a long sternal notch to nipple distance. The modifications we describe in this article, overcome some of the main drawbacks of the standard inferior pedicle technique, and is particularly effective when used with appropriately selected patients. This is achieved principally by the making of a strong, durable and internalized "dermal cage" that remains fixed to the chest wall in the upper part, as well as on both sides, to support the majority of the remaining breast tissue. This serves several purposes, including the narrowing of the breast, thereby giving good projection and reduction of the N-IMF length of the inferior pedicle.Through suspension and fixation of the inferior pedicle to the chest wall, one can obtain mitigation of the effects of gravity on the inferior pedicle. The benefits include reduced tension on the T junction, thereby reducing the incidence of wound dehiscence in the immediate post-operative phase; whilst reduction of tension on the NAC reduces "bottoming" out over the longer-term. This process has been the main short coming of the inferior pedicle technique to date.The technique was used for 26 patients over a 7 year period with a mean long term follow up of 41 months. The results demonstrate the short and long time effectiveness of our own particular combination of modifications to previously described techniques and modifications of the inferior pedicle breast reduction.EBM level: V 2

“…Hall-Findlay technique (modified vertical reduction -medial pedicle) (Hall-Findlay, 1999;Lemmon and Rios, 2007;Higdon and Grotting, 2013). Lateral and inferior tissues are excised, leaving a medial pedicle which can be rotated superiorly.…”
