Advantages of the modified double ring areolar incision over the traditional areolar incision in multicentric breast fibroadenoma surgery

摘要

Abstract BackgroundThis study was conducted to investigate the clinical advantages of modified double ring areola incision (MDRAI) compared to ordinary areola incision (OAI) in multicentric breast fibroadenoma in women. MethodsSixty cases of multicentric benign breast tumor were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January to December 2016. The cases were divided into two groups according to surgical approach: MDRAI ( n =?20) and OAI ( n =?40). The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, drainage time, and postoperative recurrence rate in the first six?months were compared. ResultsThe mean age and tumor locations were not statistically different between the groups ( P > 0.05). However, more lesions and larger tumor diameter were found in the MDRAI group than in the OAI group, with statistical difference ( P 0.05). However, the intraoperative blood loss was statistically different between the two groups ( P 2?=?4.62, P ConclusionCompared with OAI, MDRAI offers greater advantages in the aspects of blood loss and recurrence for the treatment of breast benign tumor, especially for multicentric larger lesions.
