The Comparison Between DEDTI BR and T/E BR (DETE-BR)

11 mei 2026 bijgewerkt door: Du Zhenggui, West China Hospital

A National Multicenter, Prospective, Cohort Study Comparing Delayed Endoscopic Direct-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction Via Axillary Approach With the Two-Stage Expander-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction Following Simple Mastectomy

This is a national multicenter, prospective, cohort study. The study aims to compare surgical safety (e.g., surgical complication rates), surgery-related indicators (e.g., operation time, number of operations, surgery-related costs, contralateral breast adjustment operation rates), aesthetic outcomes (e.g., BREAST-Q scores, Harris scores, SCAR-Q scores, Ueda scores and QLQ-BR45 scores), and divorce rate between patients undergoing delayed endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction via an axillary approach and those undergoing the two-stage expander-to-implant breast reconstruction following simple mastectomy.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors among women, with comprehensive treatment primarily centered around surgery being the mainstay approach. Mastectomy accounts for 88.8% of primary breast cancer surgeries, yet the rate of immediate breast reconstruction is only about 10.7%, resulting in the majority of patients losing their breasts at the time of initial surgery and suffering from long-term suboptimal psychosocial health, with divorce rates reaching as high as 40%. With the improvement in breast cancer treatment outcomes, an increasing number of women hope to improve postoperative breast morphology and alleviate psychological trauma through breast reconstruction. Traditional reconstruction methods include autologous tissue reconstruction and prosthetic reconstruction. The former involves significant trauma and a high incidence of complications, while the latter often requires a two-stage approach due to insufficient skin tissue, involving initial placement of a tissue expander followed by replacement with a prosthetic implant, which increases the number of surgeries and the risk of complications.

To address this issue, our team has developed a novel delayed endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction technique via an axillary incision approach with insufflation, which requires only a single surgery, significantly reducing surgical time, trauma, and costs, as well as the incidence of complications. Postoperatively, there are no fresh incisions on the breast, resulting in a more natural appearance and softer feel. This study aims to compare this technique with the traditional two-stage approach, exploring postoperative complications, aesthetic outcomes, quality of life, cost-effectiveness, and surgical-related indicators. To comprehensively evaluate its clinical benefits, large-scale multicenter studies are required to provide evidence-based medical evidence and optimize surgical strategies.

Therefore, this national multicenter, prospective, cohort study will compare surgical safety (e.g., surgical complication rates), surgery-related indicators (e.g., operation time, number of operations, surgery-related costs, contralateral breast adjustment operation rates), aesthetic outcomes (e.g., BREAST-Q scores, Harris scores, SCAR-Q scores, Ueda scores and QLQ-BR45 scores), and divorce rate between patients undergoing delayed endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction via an axillary approach and those undergoing the two-stage expander-to-implant breast reconstruction following simple mastectomy.

Delayed endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction
Procedure: Delayed endoscopic direct-to-implant breast reconstruction
This technique allows for breast reconstruction in a single operation. Taking dual-plane breast reconstruction as an example, preoperative marking lines are drawn to indicate the contour and inframammary fold of the reconstructed breast. A 4-5 cm axillary incision is placed one finger-breadth below the axillary apex. After making the skin incision, the plane between the pectoralis major and minor muscles is identified and dissected, extending approximately 2 cm below the previous mastectomy horizontal scar. The inner and lower parts of the pectoralis major muscle were then separated. Proceed to the subcutaneous layer and continue to dissociate the flap until it reaches the pre-designed folds and the breast boundary. The use of the TiLOOP® Bra depends on the thickness of the patient's flap. Finally, the prosthesis is placed behind the pectoralis major muscle for breast reconstruction.
Experimenteel: T/E group
Two-stage expander-to-implant breast reconstruction
Procedure: Two-stage expander-to-implant breast reconstruction
The two-stage expander-to-implant breast reconstruction involves initially placing a tissue expander to stretch the skin. Once the skin has sufficient capacity, a second surgery is performed to replace the expander with a breast implant. The expander can be gradually adjusted based on the patient's skin expansion progress, physical recovery, and aesthetic needs to achieve optimal reconstruction results.
