Atualização sobre as técnicas e complicações em reconstruções mamárias: Uma Revisão Sistemática

Abstract

Objective: To identify the relationship between new techniques of breast reconstruction and lower rates of postoperative complications. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted based on the search for studies in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Web of Science, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) databases over the last 10 years. Results: At the end of the selection process, 6 studies met the proposed inclusion criteria and were used for analysis. It was possible to identify the main risk factors related to complications such as BMI, comorbidities, smoking, exposure to radiotherapy as adjuvant treatment, and participants' age. However, there was no statistically significant value for complications when only the techniques were compared, making it impossible to infer a correlation between newer techniques and lower complication rates. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that, based on the available evidence, the risks of postoperative complications may be influenced by other factors such as individual treatment, personal pathological history, and the professional's experience. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the analyzed studies, as well as the heterogeneity of the samples and data collection methods, highlighting the need for more robust and standardized future research to validate these observations.
