Abstract:

Objective

To explore the surgical treatment of non-lactational mastitis.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 100 non-lactational mastitis patients receiving surgery in Beijing Tianyi Breast Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Health Hospital and reviewed relevant literature.

Results

All the patient were recovered after surgical treatment without complications, among which 12 cases underwent fistulectomy,40 cases underwent segmental mastectomy,47 cases underwent segmental mastectomy plus random pattern skin flap reconstruction,and 1 case underwent mastectomy. The patients were followed up for 1-12 months, median 6.5 months. Two patients had recurrences(2%,2/100),who were treated with surgical resection of recurred lesions and recovered well.

Conclusions

Surgery is effective for non-lactational mastitis.The key point for the operation lies in radical debridement of inflammatory lesions. Furthermore, the reconstruction with random pattern skin flap can achieve better cosmetic effect and have potential application in treatment of non-lactational mastitis.
