Nipple areolar complex (NAC) or skin flap ischemia necrosis post nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM)-Analysis of clinicopathologic and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) factors
Abstract:Background
The purpose of this study is to identify clinicopathologic factors and/or pre-operative MRI vascular patterns in the prediction of ischemia necrosis of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) or skin flap post nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM).
Methods
Patients who received NSM were retrospectively retrieved from a prospectively collected breast cancer database in one institute. The ischemia necrosis of NAC or skin flap was evaluated with clinicopathologic factors and types of skin incision. Patients who re… Show more
