Abstract

Aim: To present the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up processes of patients who
underwent toilet mastectomy for breast cancer.

Material and Method: After the approval of the ethics committee, the data of the
patients who underwent surgery for breast cancer in the general surgery and surgical
oncology clinic of a tertiary hospital between October 2012 and October 2022 were
collected. As a result of the necessary filtering, 11 cases were included in the study.
Preoperative, operative, and postoperative data of the cases were investigated.
Statistical analysis was made with the SPSS ver. 23.0 program; quantitative variables
were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), minimum-maximum, range, and
percent (%).

Results: The mean age of the cases was 62.81±19.98 years (26-93). While the
indication for surgery was bleeding in 8 (72.7%) cases, infection was in 3 cases. In the
preoperative evaluation, regional lymph node metastasis was observed in 5 cases;
the remaining cases had distant organ metastases. The morbidity rate in our study
was 36.4%, and no mortality was observed in any of the cases. In addition, the mean
overall survival was found to be 14.09 months (2-36).

Conclusion: Toilet mastectomy is a surgery performed in advanced breast cancer
cases with skin involvement (infection and/or bleeding). It remains a method
accepted by surgeons because of its reduction in tumor size, easier tumor control,
and positive cosmetic results.

Meme kanseri nedeniyle tuvalet mastektomi uygulanan hastaların klinik özelliklerinin incelenmesi: 10 yıllık deneyim

Abstract

Amaç: Meme kanseri nedeniyle tuvalet mastektomi uygulanan hastaların tanı, tedavi ve takip süreçlerini sunmak.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Etik kurul onayı alındıktan sonra Ekim 2012 ile Ekim 2022 tarihleri arasında üçüncü basamak bir hastanenin genel cerrahi ve cerrahi onkoloji kliniğinde meme kanseri nedeniyle cerrahi uygulanan olguların verileri toplandı. Gerekli filtrelemeler sonucunda 11 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Olguların preoperatif, operatif ve postoperatif verileri araştırıldı. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS ver. 23.0 programı ile yapılmış olup; nicel değişkenler ortalama ± standart sapma (SS), minimum maksimum, aralık ve yüzde (%) olarak ifade edildi.

Bulgular: Olguların yaş ortalaması 62,81±19,98 yıl (26-93) idi. 8 (%72,7) olguda cerrahi endikasyon kanama iken 3 olguda enfeksiyon idi. Preoperatif değerlendirmede 5 olguda bölgesel lenf nodu metastazı görülürken; kalan olgularda uzak organ metastazı mevcuttu. Çalışmamızın morbidite oranı %36,4 olup, hiçbir olguda mortalite görülmedi. Ayrıca genel sağkalım ortalama 14,09 ay (2-36) olarak saptandı.

Sonuç: Tuvalet mastektomi cilt tutulumu (enfeksiyon ve/veya kanama) olan ileri evre meme kanseri olgularında uygulanan bir cerrahidir. Tümör boyutunu azaltması, daha kolay tümör kontrolü sağlaması ve pozitif kozmetik sonuçlar nedeniyle cerrahlar tarafından kabul edilen bir yöntem olmaya devam etmektedir.
