Abstract
Mastectomies have long been used as a surgical treatment for malignant and benign disorders of the breast, both as a therapy and prophylaxis in high-risk patients. A nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) allows for the removal of most of the glandular and ductal tissues while preserving the surface architecture of the nipple-areola complex (NAC). This report summarizes the current mastectomy practices and suggests an expansion of the established surgical selection criteria for NSM in the context of immediate implant-based breast reconstruction. We present two cases in which a novel hybrid oncoplastic approach was used and discuss its safety and efficacy when performing primary breast reconstruction in female patients considered non-ideal candidates for NSM.
