BACKGROUND: Although therapeutic mammoplasty (TM) was introduced for treatment of localized @entity513 in situ and @entity0 (stages I and II) in females with large breast size, the suitability of medial pedicle TM for treatment of @entity0 at different locations has not been established. The objective of this study was to assess the safety and esthetic outcome of medial pedicle TM for @entity0 at different locations. METHODS: The study was conducted from February 2012 to July 2014. Consecutive @entity1 with early @entity0 with medium- and large-sized breasts, with or without @entity1736 , who were offered medial pedicle TM were included in the study. @entity1 who were not candidates for breast-conserving surgery or those with @entity5 located along the medial pedicle were excluded. All @entity1 received immediate postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. RESULTS: Thirty @entity1 with a mean age of 48.5 years received medial pedicle TM in the breast harboring the @entity5 or, additionally, the other breast (N=14). The @entity5 were in the upper (60.0%), lower (26.7%), and lateral (13.3%) quadrants. Minor complications occurred in five cases (5/30, 16.7%) in the ipsilateral and in two (2/14, 14.3%) contralateral breasts. No wound @entity6783 or @entity39 was recorded. A total of 22 (73.3%) @entity1 were scored as excellent cosmesis. After a median follow-up of 20 months, no locoregional recurrence or distant metastases were observed. CONCLUSION: TM using a medial pedicle is a safe and appealing technique among @entity1 with @entity5 at different locations.
