The Efficacy of Fat Grafting on Treating Post-Mastectomy Pain with and without Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Curr Oncol. 2024 Apr 4;31(4):2057-2066. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040152.ABSTRACTPost-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS), characterized by persistent pain lasting at least three months following mastectomy, affects 20-50% of breast surgery patients, lacking effective treatment options. A review was conducted utilizing EMBASE, MEDLINE, and all evidence-based medicine reviews to evaluate the effect of fat grafting as a treatment option for PMPS from database inception to 29 April 2023 (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023422627). Nine studies and 812 patients in total were included in the review. The overall mean change in visual analog scale (...

Geographic variation in breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy for females with breast cancer in Alberta, Canada
CONCLUSION: We found an overall postmastectomy rate of breast reconstruction of 11.9%, and we identified geographic variation. Predictors of reconstruction in Alberta were similar to those previously described in the literature, specifically with patients in rural communities having lower rates of reconstruction than their urban counterparts. These results suggest that further interventions are required to identify the specific barriers to reconstruction within rural communities and to create strategies to ensure equitable access to all residents.PMID:38670581 | PMC:PMC11052580 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.003823 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)
