Objective: The aim of this study was to identify if breast reconstruction is a surgical risk factor for axillary web syndrome (AWS) in breast cancer (BC) patients. Methods: The data of 207 patients who have been diagnosed with unilateral BC and who had mastectomy and lymph node dissection were retrospectively reviewed. Information of their clinical and pathological data, whether they had immediate ­reconstruction and intraoperative radiotherapy, surgical methods, and postoperative complications during the 3 months after their surgery (AWS, lymphedema, seroma, and myofascial adhesion) were collected, and the incidence of AWS was compared between different surgical methods. ­Results: The overall incidence of AWS was 48.8% in 207 patients. Of the 22 patients who received reconstruction, 19 developed AWS, yielding an incidence of 86%. Multivariate logistic regression modeling showed that patients who underwent reconstruction had a significantly higher incidence of AWS (odds ratio, 4.74), as did patients with postoperative complication of myofascial adhesion (odds ratio, 7.07). Conclusions: BC survivors after breast reconstruction are susceptible to AWS, and there is a significant association between myofascial adhesion and AWS. Our results can stimulate further investigation and provide an evidence base for the development of educational guidance for patients who plan to undergo breast reconstruction.

The Inframammary fold (IMF) is an important component of attractive and esthetically normal appearance of the breast and one of the most important elements of natural breast ptosis. It plays a significant role in the formation and maintenance of breast shape as well as it provides support for the implants placed subpectoral that prevent their malposition. It is necessary to restore the IMF during breast reconstruction and it allows achieving results similar to their natural breasts. The IMF reconstruction existing methods on a row with the advantages have some disadvantages: visible scars and contour irregularities in case of the external access, indentations at the site of IMF, little ptosis improvement or small projection, therefore it is impossible to choice a particular method of its reconstruction. Considering certain shortcomings of the existing methods of reconstruction Prof. A. Ismagilov et al. have developed a new IMF reconstruction technique using the posterior sheet of the expander capsule. This article presents our 4-year experience of performing this original technique during two-stage breast reconstruction.
