Abstract :
BACKGROUND
Immediate Breast Reconstruction (IBR) is an additional surgical procedure that may increase postoperative complications (such as flap necrosis, infection, and hematoma) and delay the initial time for adjuvant chemotherapy in some patients. In this systematic and meta-analysis, we provide overall survival rates of patients
who underwent mastectomy with and without IBR.
METHODS
The following databases were systematically searched between 2015
to 2019 without language restrictions in PUBMED, EMBASE, Web
of Science, and Cochrane Library. In addition, the relevant references
in the list of all included articles were also checked. The search term
included “breast cancer” and “breast reconstruction” “mastectomy”.
RESULTS
The sample size was a range from 339 to 5644 patients. The
median age was 46.3 years. The results showed no significant
differences in terms of overall survival between two groups.
CONCLUSION
The results showed that IBR after mastectomy did not affect the overall survival.
