Background
Immediate breast reconstruction has become an important supplement after modified radical mastectomy. The role of preoperative breast reconstruction information has not been widely popularized in China. It may play an important role in choosing immediate breast reconstruction. In this paper, we investigated whether there was an effect of the role of preoperative breast reconstruction information on the difference about choosing immediate breast reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy at signing the operation consent.
Methods
From 2015 January to March 2018, newly admitted 100 patients with breast carcinoma must receive modified radical mastectomy. All these patients’ conditions met the requirements of immediate breast reconstruction. Patient age, breast reconstruction cognition, marital status, education, and family economics were recorded. They were randomly classified into two groups (A & B). Preoperative breast reconstruction information was designed and prepared. When it came to signing operation consent, Group A received preoperative breast reconstruction information and Group B did not receive it. We recorded whether they were willing to receive immediate breast reconstruction in different groups.
Results
There was no significant difference in patient age, breast reconstruction cognition, marital status, education, and family economics (P > 0.05). Thirty-two patients agreed to receive breast reconstruction and 18 patients did not agree to receive breast reconstruction in Group A when 24 patients agreed to receive breast reconstruction and 26 patients did not agree to receive breast reconstruction in Group B. There was a statistical significance (P < 0.05) between the above two groups.
Conclusion
Preoperative breast reconstruction information may be a vital role for explaining about choosing immediate breast reconstruction after modified radical mastectomy at signing the operation consent.
