Abstract
Objective To investigate the difference between simple continued traction and areola dermal flap filling in inverted nipple correction surgery.Methods There were 60 nipples of 32 patients in simple continuous traction group and 62 nipples of 32 patients in dermal flap filling group.Follow-up was conducted for 12 months.The surgical results were compared with statistical analysis.Results Wound healing,nipple shape,blood supply,feeling and breast-feeding function in simple continuous traction group were better than those of the dermal flap filling group.There was no statistically significant difference in diameter and height of nipple,nipple retraction and relapse rate between the two groups.Conclusions Simple continuous traction is superior to dermal flap filling.Both methods are safe and effective for the treatment of various types of inverted nipple and two groups of patients have improved in symptoms and appearance.
