Introduction. This study evaluated the feasibility and patient satisfaction of combined endoscopy-assisted muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap harvesting, with lipofilling enhancement for skin-preserving mastectomy. Methods. This is a prospective study that included 21 female patients with small breasts (cup size A-B), subjected to skin-preserving mastectomy as a management of breast cancer. Combined endoscopy-assisted muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap harvesting with lipofilling enhancement was performed for immediate breast reconstruction. Patients were followed up for early and late postoperative complications including recurrence for at least 24 months. Postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed using the Kyungpook National University Hospital breast reconstruction satisfaction questionnaire. Results. The study included 21 female patients with a mean age of 42.10 ± 8.46 years. Patients were followed up for 26.67 ± 3.38 months. The procedure was successful in all patients with a mean duration of 172.05 ± 28.22 minutes. Local recurrence was encountered in one patient (4.67%). Eighteen patients declared their satisfaction 6 months after the operation, while two patients were satisfied only after the second session of lipofilling. The overall postoperative patient satisfaction was 95.24%. The majority of the patients (93.3%) who underwent NSM surgery were satisfied, while only two-thirds (66.6%) of the patients who underwent SSM surgery were satisfied. Conclusions. Combined endoscopy-assisted muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi flap harvesting with lipofilling enhancement seems to be a feasible and encouraging technique for the volume adjustment of small breasts, especially in nipple-sparing mastectomy. It leaves a minor back scar and has an acceptable rate of postoperative complications. The procedure showed high postoperative patient satisfaction.
