PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) has emerged as an oncologically safe approach to early-stage breast cancer and prophylactic mastectomies.1,2 This technique improves aesthetic outcomes by preserving the maximum amount of native anatomy including the inframammary fold, which improves the shape and position of the breast mound. The maximal amount of uninvolved skin is preserved, reducing or removing the need for a reconstructive skin paddle. The aesthetic results using this native envelope cannot be matched by any reconstructive technique.
