Endoscopic excision of breast fibroadenoma through inframammary fold: Feasibility, safety and medium‐term outcomes

Introduction Endoscopic‐assisted surgery for breast tumors has the advantage of inconspicuous scars, less breast volume loss, and nipple areolar distortion. A novel endoscopic‐assisted technique through inframammary fold for excision of fibroadenomas is presented. Materials and Surgical Technique En...

Description
Summary:Introduction Endoscopic‐assisted surgery for breast tumors has the advantage of inconspicuous scars, less breast volume loss, and nipple areolar distortion. A novel endoscopic‐assisted technique through inframammary fold for excision of fibroadenomas is presented. Materials and Surgical Technique Endoscopic‐assisted excision of fibroadenoma(s) through inframammary fold was performed in four patients after informed written consent via three ports (12, 5, and 5 mm). Breast Cancer Treatment Outcome Score‐12 (BCTOS‐12) was used to evaluate patient satisfaction after surgery. Discussion No intraoperative and wound complication was noted. On median follow‐up of 26.5 months, patients reported satisfactory responses to aesthetic and functional outcomes. No scar related complications were noted. Endoscopic‐assisted excision of fibroadenoma through inframammary fold can be a safe and feasible option with good aesthetic outcomes.
