nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM)

Nipple-sparing bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with TiLoop®Bra mesh in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers: a prospective study of long-term and patient reported outcomes using the BREAST-Q

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Although demand for prophylactic mastectomy is increasing over time among women at a high risk for breast cancer, there is a paucity of studies on long term patient-reported outcomes after this procedure.
METHODS:

Subcutaneous expanders and synthetic mesh for breast reconstruction: long-term and patient-reported BREAST-Q outcomes of a single-center prospective study

Summary Recently, prepectoral breast reconstruction is experiencing a revival. Despite the
growing body of early reports about subcutaneous breast reconstruction, literature lacks in
long-term results and studies focusing on patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality
of life.
Between January 2012 and December 2016, patients undergoing mastectomy were enrolled at
our institution. We selected patients diagnosed with breast cancer or genetic predisposition
