Abstract

Aim: The vertical scar mammaplasty is one of the most frequently performed operations among reduction mammoplasties. The technique has nowbeen adopted by many surgeons for mastopexies and small reductions, but it has not been commonly used for large reductions because of the frequency of healing problems of the vertical scar. The best candidate for surgery is a patient with elastic skin, moderate hypertrophy (up to 800 g removedper breast), anda breast whichis amixtureof fat and glandular tissue. Method: In this study, we present our late termresults with vertical scar reduction mammaplasty in heavy sized breast with resection of 1000 g or more per breast in eleven patients. Eleven patients with heavy sized 22 breasts in which more than 1000 g of tissuewas resected are evaluated.Results: Median age of the patients was 32 years (20-46 years) and the average amount of resected specimen was 1322 g (1000-1780 g) per breast. All patients were operated by the same team and senior surgeon. During the follow up period 2 major complications in the early period were observed: partial nipple-areola necrosis and hematoma. Secondary healing of a partial nipple areola necrosis in a heavy smoker patient resulted in periareolar hypertrophic scar.There were no late term complications.Conclusion: We think that the vertical mammaplasty technique can safely be applied to heavy breasts and large reductions over 1000 gr of tissue.

Özet

Amaç: Dikey izli (vertikal skar) meme küçültme tekniği mevcut ameliyat teknikleri içinde sıklıkla kullanılan yöntemlerden biridir. Bu teknik, özellikle meme düzeltme ve çok büyük olmayan memelerin küçültülmesinde pekçok cerrah tarafından başarı ile uygulanmaktadır. Ancak aşırı büyük memelerde özellikle dikey izin iyileşme problemleri ile ilgili olarak kullanımı tartışmalıdır. Bu tekniğe en iyi aday hasta elastik derisi olan, orta derecede hipertrofik (800 gr.dan az) ve yağ ve bez karışımından oluşan memelerdir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, 1000 gr.dan fazla miktarda doku rezeksiyonu yaptığımız toplam 11 hastadaki aşırı büyük memelerde uyguladığımız dikey izli tekniğin erken ve geç dönem sonuçları sunulmuştur.Bulgular: Hastaların yaşları 20 ile 46 arasında değişmekte olup ortancası 32 idi. Eksize edilen doku miktarı 1000 ile 1780 gr. arasında olup ortalaması 1322 gr. idi. Tüm hastalar aynı cerrahi ekip tarafından ameliyat edildiler. İzlem süresince olgularda erken dönemde iki komplikasyon gözlendi: parsiyel memebaşı - areola nekrozu ve hematom. Aşırı sigara içimi öyküsü olan nekrozlu hasta hipertrofik skar ile iyileşti. Uzun dönem sonuçlarında hastalarda herhangi bir komplikasyon gözlenmedi.Sonuç: Sonuç olarak dikey izli meme küçültme yönteminin, 1000 gr. dan fazla rezeksiyon yapılacak aşırı büyük memelerde güvenli bir şekilde uygulanabileceği görüşündeyiz.
