Purpose: Single-incision videoendoscopic surgery has recently become popular as a result of the ongoing search for less invasive procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic single-port nipple-sparing mastectomy, axillary lymphadenectomy, and immediate reconstruction in patients with breast cancer.
Patients And Methods: From May 14, 2012 through January 23, 2013, 10 patients underwent videoendoscopic single-port nipple-sparing mastectomy and axillary dissection via a single, limited incision and immediate prosthetic reconstruction. Patient charts were reviewed, and demographic data, operative time, complications and pathology results were analyzed.
Results: In all patients, videoendoscopic surgery was performed successfully. Of 10 patients, 7 were diagnosed as having invasive ductal carcinoma, 2 had a ductal carcinoma in situ, and 1 underwent bilateral prophylactic mastectomy. The weight of the resected gland was 300-650 g, with a mean of 420 g. There were no operative complications, and the mean operative time was 250 minutes (range, 160-330 minutes). One-stage reconstruction with implants was performed on 4 patients, whereas expanders were placed in the remaining 6. Surgical margins of all cases were pathologically negative, and there were no recurrences observed during the early follow-up period.
Conclusions: Videoendoscopic single-port nipple-sparing mastectomy is technically feasible even in larger breasts, enabling immediate reconstruction with good cosmetic outcomes. However, further studies with larger clinical series and long-term follow-up are required to compare the safety and efficacy of the technique with those of the standard nipple-sparing mastectomy.

Background: The common techniques used in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) are hydrodissection (tumescent dissection) and electrocautery. We hypothesized that bipolar scissors (diathermy scissors) would improve surgical outcomes in mastectomy.
Methods: We prospectively compared 50 patients undergoing NSM using the bipolar scissor technique to retrospective data from patients who had previously undergone NSM with hydrodissection (n = 50) or electrocautery (n = 50).
Long-Term Follow-Up of Surgical Outcomes and Oncological Results of Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction Through a Single Axillary Incision with Different Approach Methods.

Background: We investigated the perioperative outcome and oncologic safety of performing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) through a single axillary incision (NSM-SAI) compared with performing NSM through a conventional incision (NSM-C).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 725 patients who underwent NSM for breast cancer between January 2010 and December 2023; 333 patients who underwent NSM with immediate reconstruction (IR) were enrolled. Surgical outcomes and oncologic outcomes of NSM-C (n = 184), NSM performed through SAI with a freehand approach (NSM-SAI-F; n = 92), and with an endoscopic approach (NSM-SAI-E; n = 57) were demonstrated.

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. Despite significant advancements in breast cancer treatments over the past decade, late recurrence, a hallmark of breast cancer, remains a major challenge for oncologists. In this case report, we present an atypical presentation of late breast cancer recurrence as a peri-bronchial lesion manifesting as dysphagia 14 years after completing treatment for primary breast cancer.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign but rare mesenchymal proliferation of the mammary stroma, characterized by pseudovascular spaces within a hyperplastic matrix. PASH can be classified as either non-tumor-forming or tumor-forming. The non-tumor-forming type is an infiltrative and clinically undetectable mass, incidentally found in approximately a quarter of breast biopsies.

Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast enlargement, which can lead to physical and psychological distress. Gestational gigantomastia (GG) occurs during pregnancy, often presenting significant management challenges. This case contributes to the limited literature on GG management by highlighting the successful use of the Goldilocks technique combined with free nipple grafting, offering insights into an effective surgical approach.
