OBJECTIVE

To analyze patient quality of life after simultaneous breast reconstruction with implants and biological or synthetic matrices.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A prospective controlled study involved 91 patients aged 53.7±2.1 years with breast cancer who were treated between 2013 and 2018. Depending on reconstruction technique, all patients were divided into two groups: classical prepectoral reconstruction (n=49) and prepectoral reconstruction using functionally sparing method (n=42).

RESULTS

Incidence of seroma was 2 times higher in the 2^nd group (9 (21.4%) vs. 6 (12.4%)). Biological matrix was followed by 2-fold higher incidence of complications compared to synthetic mesh (66.6% vs. 33.4%). Postoperative analysis revealed a significant deterioration of all QoL parameters in the 1^st group and improvement of all these parameters in the 2^nd group, except for sexual well-being.

CONCLUSION

Functionally sparing prepectoral breast reconstruction improves health-related quality of life in breast cancer patients regarding mental well-being, breast shape satisfaction and psychosocial well-being. At the same time, there was no deterioration of sexual well-being. We observed significantly less incidence of certain complications such as animation deformity and postoperative pain syndrome.
