Abstract

Read online

Our team has created a novel endoscopic technique (ET) to solve the problems of the former minimally invasive surgery (Inconvenient operation for ET, high cost for robotic technique, long-operation time for both) for breast cancer patients requiring nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction (BR) with a latissimus dorsi flap/latissimus dorsi flap and implant. This easy-to-grasp method will benefit more patients.
