Abstract

The Use of Becker Prosthesis in Breast Reconstruction and in Correction of Breast Deformities We performed classic Becker type prothesis for breast reconstruction in our clinic on 4 patients with congenital breast hypoplasia for augmentation, on 4 patients for postmastectomy breast reconstruction, and on one patient with traumatic breast deformity. All the Becker prostheses are placed beneath the pectoral muscle. Latissimus dorsi muscle was transferred in two patients with inadequate muscle mass. Preexisting scars or axillary lines are used fort he incisions. Initial saline injection get started by the third postoperative week were and continued in weekly intervals. Inflation process continued until the 20 percent of the optimal volume was exceeded. The average time fort this process was three months. The prosthesis are deflated to their optimal volumes prior to removal of the port. After a minimum one year follow-up time, seven patients had a nonproblematic course. Two patients needed extra surgical interventions, one with port malposition and the other because of kink of the port tube. We conclude that Becker prosthesis is a good choice for breast reconstruction and augmentation when cost effectiveness, satisfying results and easy surgical technique are considered.

Özet

Kliniğimizde konjenital meme hipoplazisi olan dört hastada augmentasyon için, mastektomili 4 hasta ve travmatik meme deformitesi olan bir hastada meme rekonstrüksiyonu için klasik Becker tip protez kullanıldı. Becker protez hastaların tümünde subpektoral plana yerleştirildi, kas dokusu yetersiz olan iki hastada latissimus dorsi kası da transfer edildi. İnsizyonlar için, var olan skarlar ya da aksiller insizyon kullanıldı. Operasyondan, en erken üç hafta sonra başlanan serum fizyolojik (SF) enjeksiyonları haftalık aralarla uygulandı, şişirme işlemine optimal hacmin %20 fazlasına ulaşılacak kadar devam edildikten sonra, ortalama üç ay beklendi. Port çıkarılmadan önce protezler optimal hacmine indirildi. Minimum takip süresi bir yıl olan hastalardan 7’si problemsiz iyileşti. Bir hastaya port malpozisyonu için, bir hastaya da port tüpü kıvrılması nedeni ile ek cerrahi uygulandı. Becker protez ile meme rekonstrüksiyonu ve augmentasyonunun kolay uygulanabilir, ekonomik ve sonuçlarının tatmin edici olması nedeniyle meme rekonstrüksiyonu ve augmentasyonunda iyi bir seçenek olduğu kanaatindeyiz.
