Abstract
Background

It has been proved that a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy has a great psycho-social impact on patients. For this reason, it is increasingly done in a greater percentage of cases. There are two major groups of reconstructive techniques: a reconstruction with implants and a reconstruction with autologous tissue of the patient. In order to make a more objective assessment of the results, it is important to know how satisfied these patients are with the results. Therefore, we performed a study using Q-BREAST, the aim of which is to analyze the satisfaction of mastectomized patients according to the different surgical reconstruction techniques.

Methods

A retrospective, descriptive and observational study of patients reconstructed in our service from 2008 to 2011 was carried out. Patient satisfaction levels were compared according to the surgical technique used in breast reconstruction using the Q-BREAST test, which was mailed to them.

Results

There are no statistical differences in the levels of satisfaction in terms of age, type of mastectomy done, coadjutant treatment or existence of complications. Higher levels of satisfaction are observed in patients reconstructed with autologous tissue versus implants (P=.028).

Conclusions

Patients reconstructed with autologous tissue have higher levels of satisfaction than those reconstructed with implants.

Resumen
Introducción

La reconstrucción mamaria tras mastectomía ha demostrado tener un impacto psicosocial muy importante en las pacientes. Existen 2 grandes grupos de técnicas reconstructivas: la reconstrucción con implantes y la reconstrucción con tejido autógeno de la paciente. Para poder realizar una valoración más objetiva de los resultados es importante conocer la satisfacción que presentan las mismas, por lo que se decide realizar un estudio empleando el Q-BREAST cuyo objetivo es analizar la satisfacción de las pacientes mastectomizadas en función de las diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas de reconstrucción.

Métodos

Se realiza un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y observacional de las pacientes reconstruidas en nuestro servicio del 2008 al 2011. Se comparan los niveles de satisfacción de las pacientes según la técnica quirúrgica empleada en la reconstrucción de mama mediante el empleo del test Q-BREAST, que se les envió por correo.

Resultados

Se obtiene una respuesta al Q-BREAST de 90 pacientes. No se encuentran diferencias estadísticas en los niveles de satisfacción en relación con la edad, el tipo de mastectomía realizada, el tratamiento coadyuvante y la existencia de complicaciones. Sí se observan unos niveles superiores de satisfacción en las pacientes reconstruidas con tejido autógeno frente a los implantes (p=0,028).

Conclusiones

Las pacientes reconstruidas con tejido autógeno presentan niveles más altos de satisfacción que las reconstruidas con implantes.
