30.4 Pre-op Marking fortheProcedure
The marking is done in an upright position either sitting or standing, maintaining a neutral position of the patient with her shoulders relaxed. The
marking itself follows the principles of wise pat­tern mastectomy and is crucial to the entire out­come of reconstruction and hence cannot be overemphasized. The creation of a dermal ap is integral to this process.
Figure 30.1: Marking WPM and DF
• Mark the sternal notch and drawa line verti­cally down to mark the midline. This helps to compare the distance between the midline and the nipple as well as the breast meridian and is always worth noting if there is a differ­ence on the two sides. In a bilateral proce­dure, these distances fromthe midline should be equal for symmetrical looking recon­structed breasts.
• Mark the breast meridian- a vertical line join­ing mid-clavicular point to nipple and traced to inframammary fold, chest wall, and upper abdomen in the same line. This line will often

be slightly oblique in the lateral direction starting from the mid-clavicular point. A prac­tical way of drawing this line is to allow a long measuring tape around the neck to hang on either of the breasts and hold it across the nip­ple to draw the line.
IMF projection on the breast on the breast meridian is marked. This forms the upper most point of the vertical limbs (wings) drawn down to the either side of the areola. This point becomes the point of maximum projection and site of future nipple reconstruction.
• Vertical limbs are then drawn; the length of
these vertical limbs should be ideally
10–12 cm to allow a degree of natural pto-
sisandat least 8cm to achieve an acceptable
aesthetic outcome. In contrast to a Wise pat-
tern breast reduction mammoplasty, the verti-
cal limbs are kept close to the areolar margins
to preserve skin. In some cases where the dis-
ease is peripheral, part of the areolar skin can
be preserved in the process too. The more
divergent the wings, the less projection the
reconstructed breast will have with serious
compromise of the aestheticoutcome.
From the inferior end of the vertical limb, the lines are extended laterally and medially, respec­tively, to join the extremes of the IMF.
30.5 Operative Procedure
30.5.1 Patient Positioning andSkin
Preparationand antibiotic prophylaxis
• Supine with both arms abducted at 90° on an
arm boards with straight spine and no rotation
of the torso shoulder or pelvis. An incorrect
position will lead to wrong intra-operative
assessment and hence altered outcome.
• Secure patients’ arms on the arm board and a
pillow below the knees to prevent patient slid-
ing whensat up during the surgery.
• Ensure that patient can be safely sat up to 60–70° to check for implant position and shape of the reconstructed breast.
• Skin preparation from neck to umbilicus and well beyond the shoulder joint so that once drapes are placed both the clavicle and shoul­der joints are visible within the draped area.A single dose of IV Flucloxacillin 1g is given as prophylaxis (Teicoplanin or Clindamycin in case of penicillin allergy).
30.5.2 Skin Incision (Fig.30.2a)
• Wise pattern skin incision as shown in Fig.30.2a. It is extremely important that the incision is kept supercialand epidermis deep along the IMF to prevent any compromise in the vascularity of the DF.
30.5.3 Mastectomy andCreation
ofDF (Fig.30.2b, c)
• Before raising the mastectomy aps, the lower pole skin is de-epithelialized to create the DF.
• Incision along the vertical limbs and lateral/ medial extensions are deepened to allow rais­ing the mastectomy aps.
• Upper and lower mastectomy aps are raised, taking care to preserve the vascularity of the aps by identifying and preserving the perfo­rators in second and third intercostals space coming from internal mammary blood ves­sels, cutaneous branches from lateral thoracic artery,branches along the IMF coming from chest wall perforators.
• While raising the lower ap, care should be taken to preserve the IMF.If the IMF is dis­turbed or is mobile, it is secured with 2'0'PDS sutures.Strong sutures taken in the underlying muscle aponeurosis aresufcient and it is not necessary to take the sutures down to rib peri­osteum (painful and frought with risk of trou­blesome bleeding)
• Breast tissue is dissected off the Pectoralis muscle, keeping the Pectoral fascia intact

The dissection is taken close to sternum. A complete division must be avoided to prevent synmastia which is a difcult problem to cor­rect. For the same reason it is also important to stop dividing lower bres of Pectoralis major from their sternal attachment beyond 4 o’clock position (right breast) or 8 o’clock position for the left side.
• Laterally, DF often is not adequate to cover the implant and a Serratus anterior muscle ap or small patch of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) can be used to provide implant cover. Alternatively, the part of the DF can then be released by dividing it (a back cut) lateral to medially [5]. This gives slightly more laxity tothe DF to cover the lateral end of the implant or to wrap underneath it. However, care should be taken while making the back cut to keep it short to avoid compromising the vascularity of the DF.
30.5.4 Implant Insertion
(Fig.30.2c,d)
• The volume and projection of the implant is estimated from pre-operative planning. This can be aided by measuring the width and height of the breast disc plate intra-operatively after completing mastectomy. Weight of the specimen is not the best guide to implant vol­ume due to variation in the parenchymal density.
• Implant sizers are very useful to assess the appropriate implant size. The patient must be sat up for this purpose.
• Good wash of the pocket to remove any debris or loose fat is quite important along with meticulous haemostasis.
• Two closed suction drains are inserted at this stage (one subcutaneous and one sub­muscular) and tunnelled at a distance away from the suture lines. This has got two advan­tages as it decreases the risk of infection back­tracking through the drain site and allows adequate space to apply negative pressure dressings.
• Extreme precaution to maintain asepsis while handling implant (change of gloves, minimiz­ing handling, avoiding contact with skin).
• Implant is placed in the subpectoral space. See Fig.30.2c.
• The free edge of the pectoral major is then sutured to the free edge of the dermal ap using a running monolament stitch such as 3'0' PDS.
• Depending on the size of the dermal ap and the implant, additional lateral cover may or may not be needed.
• For a lateral coverthe Pectoralis major lateral margin can be sutured to the free edge of Serratus anterior ap or a small patch of ADM if the dermal ap does not cover the implant completely.
30.5.5 Closure
• The two vertical limbs are sutured together.See Fig.30e.
• The upper ap is then sutured to the IMF inci­sion over the dermal ap. It is a good practice to excise 5 mm of the ends of the vertical limbs which along with preserved small exten­sion of the skin at T-junction reduces the risk of T-junction necrosis.
30.5.6 Post-Operative Care
• Adequate analgesia, maintaining good oxygen saturation, good hydration, keeping patients warm, and use ofappropriate thromboprophy­laxis (TEDS and Low molecular weight hepa­rin injections).
• Most patients are discharged home within 24h.
• The practice of post op antibiotics prophy­laxisvaries from a single dose of antibiotics at induction to two further doses after the sur­gery or continuing antibiotics till the drains are taken out. There is no evidence that longer use of antibiotics reduces infection rate. Author’s own practice is to offer 5 days of oral

The drains are usually removed when it drains less than 30ml in 24h which is usually between 5 and 7days. It is important that the drains are removed only after an appropriate level of clini­cal input (usually operating surgeon) and thatthere is an agreed policy in place for ateam approach to peri-operative careincluding timely clinical review if need be.
30.6 Complication andRisks
30.6.1 Early Post-operative Risks
andComplications
The early post-operative complications include bleeding, seroma and infection leading to implant loss. The implant loss rate with DF based IBR should not be any higher than other forms of implant based reconstructions with an added risk of T-junction necrosis (see chapters on Implant based reconstruction). The technique, despite being a useful one, remains somewhat underuti­lised and thus there is arelative lack of outcome data [10]. The authors have used the technique and the outcome data between 2008 and 2018 indicate outcomes which are comparable to other implant based reconstruction [11, 12]. The long and thin superior skin ap approximated along the breast meridian can increase wound related complications at T-junction. The reported inci­dence of wound dehiscence varies between 5 to 7% in the literature [5, 7] and in our series; it was around 6% [12]. The more serious complications including ap necrosis (5–20%) and implant extrusion resulting in loss of implant have been reported variably in the literatures from 0 to 13% [57, 9]. In our series, implant loss and T-Junction necrosis occurred in 6% of the patients [12]. Most of the T-junction necroses can be managed conservatively, if supercial and limited to mas­tectomy aps with the underlying DF remaining healthy. If there is impending implant exposure, it requires early wound debridement and closure
(with or without converting xed volume implant to adjustable implant or tissue expander place­ment to reduce tension on suture lines). One can minimize the incidence of T-junction necrosis by using an inverted V extension of IMF skin at the T-junction allowing the excision of the tip (most at risk) of the medial and lateral wise pattern mastectomy ap to be excised. In relatively high risk patients, use of a negative pressure dressing can minimize the wound related complication in the early post- operative period [13, 14]. The inci­dence of seroma has been reported to varying rates but is lower compared to IBR using ADM and implant and this is mainly due to the fact that the DF based technique does not require a bio­logical or a synthetic mesh; both associated with risk of seroma. Seroma can be managed by obser­vation alone and aspiration is avoided to mini­mize risk of infection but a seroma compromising wound healing can be aspirated under US guid­ance with utmost aseptic antiseptic precautions.
30.6.2 Delayed Risk andComplication
Late complication with DF based IBR are mainly related to the use of silicone implant such as cap­sular contracture, migration/rotation of the implant, rippling, breast animation and in rare cases BIA ALCL (Breast implant associated ana­plastic large cell lymphoma). See the chapter on Silicone implant(Chap. 28) for delayed compli­cations in implant based reconstructions.
In authors experience the incidence of capsu­lar contracture seem to be lower in DF based reconstruction in comparison to other implant and ADM based reconstruction.
30.7 Summary
The outcomes from DF based reconstruction are consistent and good with high patient satisfaction (Figs. 30.3a, b, 30.4a, b, and 30.5). A careful patient selection, proper counselling, and meticu­lous surgical technique with a structured peri-

Implant Breast Reconstruction

In US and UK implant-based breast reconstruc­tion (IBBR) is the most commonly performed breast reconstruction operation [1]. Techniques have evolved rapidly in this area since late 1990s especially with the technological advancement in prosthesis and meshes [28]. Commonly used techniques are:
• Two-staged implant reconstruction (immedi­ate or delayed).
• Subpectoral implant using mesh (synthetic or biological).
• Subpectoral implant using dermal sling (only possible in large ptotic breast)-covered
elsewhere.
• Pre-pectoral implant (with biological) mesh-
covered elsewhere.
31.1 Two-Staged Implant
Reconstruction (Immediate or Delayed)
31.1.1 Introduction
Two-stage implant reconstruction involves plac­ing temporary expander to expand skin, soft tis-
sues, and pectoralis major muscle, to be replaced with permanent implant later (second stage). It can be done in immediate or delayed settings. Expander is gradually inated in clinic to achieve the desired pocket size. Results are mediocre at best and this technique is being replaced by reconstruction with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and dermal sling. In my own practice I use expander implants (Picture 31.1, right) with remote port (c/w pure expanders which have inte­grated port) which can be left as permanent option if decent cosmetic result and symmetry is achieved.
31.1.2 Indications
Subpectoral implant using meshes (synthetic or biological) or de-epithelised lower pole ptotic skin (dermal sling) has replaced two-staged sub­muscular implant reconstruction in the developed countries. However, two-staged procedure is still used when mesh is not available, patient not suit­able for dermal sling (non-ptotic breasts) and autologous options of Latissimus Dorsi Flap and DIEP ap are not available.

are usually not suitable. Short well build patients are more suitable for nding complete cover. Patients slim to the extent that ribs are visible in upright position are generally not suitable.
31.1.3 Contraindications
Two-stage implant reconstruction better be avoided in the setting of radiotherapy. Previous radiotherapy and anticipated future radiotherapy are contraindications to two-staged implant reconstruction. It is difcult to expand irradiated tissues and radiotherapy subsequently causes severe encapsulation and pushes implant higher. In very slim patients it is difcult to provide 360 degrees cover due to scarcity of tissue and there­fore leading to poor cosmetic result.
31.1.4 Patient Selection
In two-stage submuscular pocket is created with intention to provide complete muscle cover. Patient selection is important. Tall slim patients
31.1.5 Preoperative Marking
Extent of breast is marked with dotted line. Midline and inframammary fold are marked. Aim to lower implant pocket 2–3 cm below IMF which need to be marked by second line below IMF.For delayed reconstruction breast footprint is marked as per extent of the other breast. In case of previous bilateral mastectomy breast foot plates are marked based on IMF remnants and implant size chosen vis-a-vis patients over all built and chest wall frame.
Picture 31.2
Preoperative marking for two­stage implant reconstruction. IMF need to be lowered, shown on the right breast.
31.1.6 Surgical Technique
Skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) is done taking care not to disturb serratus fascia or serratus mus­cle in the lower half of the base of the breast. After careful skin sparing mastectomy, pectoralis major muscle is split in the middle leading to subpectoral space. This step is like splitting inter­nal oblique muscle during open appendicectomy.

removed helps in choosing right volume of the implant in A to C cup breasts. In larger breasts approximate size is discussed and agreed between patient and surgeon.
After Care/Second stage It is my practice to use single redivac drain. Broad spectrum antibi­otics are used till drain is in situ, usually 5–7days. Prosthesis is expanded by injecting uid percuta­neously until the desired size is achieved. It is my practice to inate at 6–8 weekly intervals.
249
Picture 31.2 Pocket dissection is started from centre of pectoralis muscle
Dissection is extended 360in subpectoral space up to the extent of the breast marked preopera­tively. Inferiorly dissection extends to 2–3 cm below IMF, as marked preoperatively. Care is taken to include all the tissue available (serratus fascia, serratus muscle, and upper bres of oblique muscles of abdomen) below the lower and lateral edge of pectoralis major muscle keep­ing it continuous with pectoralis without inadver­tently making a hole in it. Implant is placed in the pocket and inated as much as muscle and skin can accommodate without undue tension. Split muscle bres are closed with absorbable sutures. Drain is placed in implant pocket. Skin is closed watertight in two layers. Steri-strips and water­proof dressing is applied which is left in place for a week.
31.1.7 Implant Selection
The expander is then replaced by a xed vol­ume implant at a second operation. There is no xed timing of replacement, it can be done any time after nishing cancer treatment and when desired ination is achieved. The old scar is opened, and the old implant is removed, capsu­lotomy is enough for grade 1-II encapsulation. Capsulotomy is done by radial incisions. For tough capsule 360 degrees anterior capsulectomy is necessary. Inframammary fold is opened to lower the implant to achieve symmetry. The pocket is adjusted to ensure tension free closure. The wound is closed meticulously in two layers (Picture 31.3).
Two-stage technique is safe but time consum­ing. It is better to use combined expander implants (“permanent expanders”) as a one-stage approach to avoid a second operation. Overall, better results are achieved with one sitting of fat graft­ing between the two stages to get better outcomes especially with thin aps.
31.1.8 Complications
Expander implants (Allergan 150, Mentor’s Becker 35) or expanders (Allergan 133 or Mentor expanders) can be used. Expanders have integral port and expander implants have remote port to be xed in subcutaneous location on the side in the mid-axillary line. Size of the implant is selected based on height and width of breast foot plate measured preoperatively and size of pocket measured intraoperatively. Weight of breast
Bleeding Peri-implant haematoma is rare, in
most cases it does not need any intervention and is managed conservatively. Large or expanding haematoma will need washout under GA.
Flap Necrosis It is rare and happens in smokers and diabetics. Debridement and watertight clo­sure is necessary to avoid infection and implant loss.
