Aesthetic Outcome of Different Techniques of Reconstruction following Nipple-Areola: Preserving Envelope Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2007 Mar;119(3):796-803.
Mosahebi A1, Ramakrishnan V, Gittos M, Collier J.
Excerpt: Nipple-preserving mastectomy and immediate reconstruction has further improved the aesthetic outcome of skin-sparing mastectomy. Study: to investigate the effect of the type of reconstruction technique on aesthetic outcome, three different methods of reconstruction were compared using four evaluation modalities. Sixty-one cases; mean follow-up at 48 months. Methods of reconstruction used were: implant-only reconstruction, pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle with implant, and deep inferior epigastric perforator flap. Findings: In patients who are undergoing nipple-preserving envelope mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and who are likely to have postoperative radiotherapy, deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction achieved a better aesthetic outcome.

Envelope mastectomy and immediate reconstruction (EMIR), improving outcome without oncological compromise.
Mosahebi A1, Ramakrishnan V, Gittos M, Collier DS.
STUDY AIM: Determine long term oncological safety and aesthetic acceptability of envelope mastectomy and immediate reconstruction (EMIR).
PATIENTS/METHODS: Retrospective review of 71 cases. Aesthetic assessment was based on detailed clinical examination as well as subjective self-assessment of the outcome.
FINDINGS: At follow-up (mean follow up= 48 months), there were three local recurrences, only one involving the nipple-areolar complex. The mean aesthetic score was 0.75 (out of 1), representing a good aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction.
CONCLUSION (Excerpt): “Nipple-areolar complex preservation is a safe option and EMIR produced a good aesthetic outcome, which is oncologically safe. Furthermore, it does not preclude post-operative radiotherapy.
