Article Abstract
Background/aim: Recently, "conservative" mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (M-R) has become the gold standard when the breast must be removed. We analyzed the evolution in the choice of mastectomy type in our Unit, focusing on factors associated with renounce to reconstruction and risk factors for its failure.
Patients And Methods: Clinical-pathological and surgical features of 132 patients who underwent mastectomy in our Unit from 2004 to 2016 were analyzed. M-R rate and different mastectomy techniques' rates between 2004-2009 and 2010-2016 were compared.
Results: M-R was associated with younger age at diagnosis (p<0.001) and early tumor stage (p=0.03). M-R rate increased from 49.1% to 72.2% (p=0.002) in the last years, with prominent use of nipple-sparing-mastectomy (p<0.001). M-R failure rate was associated with previous or subsequent irradiation/chemotherapy in 92.3% of cases.
Conclusion: M-R and particularly nipple-sparing-mastectomy represented the standard in more recent years; reconstruction failure was associated with irradiation/chemotherapy, especially in implant-based reconstructions.

Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is the primary surgical approach for patients with breast cancer. The accurate determination of surgical margins during BCS is critical for patient prognosis; however, time constraints and limitations in current pathological techniques often prevent pathologists from performing this assessment intraoperatively. The inability to reliably assess margins during surgery can lead to incomplete tumor removal and the need for additional surgeries.

Background: The interpectoral and pectoserratus plane (PECs) blocks have been reported to provide favorable postoperative analgesia after mastectomy. However, studies have reported controversial data regarding its effect on the quality of recovery (QoR). We aimed to evaluate the effect of the PECs block in light of baseline psychological factors and pain sensitivity.

Background And Aims: Ultrasound-guided deep serratus anterior plane (SAP) block has recently gained popularity as an analgesic technique in breast surgery. However, the effectiveness of ultrasound depends largely on the quality of the equipment used, and the technique can be complicated by patient-related factors such as obesity. We hypothesized that the simpler open approach to deep SAP block would be non-inferior to the ultrasound-guided approach in providing analgesia for modified radical mastectomy.

Endoscopic breast surgery (EBS) is designed to reduce surgical trauma and optimize cosmetic outcomes through inconspicuous incisions. However, a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of research focus in EBS is lacking. This study aimed to analyze global publication trends, academic impacts, and evolving research directions in the field of EBS.
