ANATOMICAL VARIATIONS AND ASYMMETRY OF THE CONTOUR OF ANTERIOR THORAX WALL

The resulting estimate of the prevalence of anatomical variations and anteriorthorax wall asymmetry, affecting the contour of the breast, as well as on the size, shape and location of grafts or implants in breast surgery. A study to assess and predict the degree of asymmetry of the breast after the breast surgery. Study design: comparative, prospective (parallel groups). Duration of study: 24 months ( January 2012 - March 2014). Material and methods. Under observation were 40 patients who produced x-ray computed tomography. To assess the impact on the asymmetry of the thorax, the patients were divided into 2 groups - younger and older than 45. The observation period after surgery was 6 months. The result is clinically significant asymmetric deformity of the thorax must be identified on the basis of a certain set size, and data is taken into account in reconstructive plastic surgery on the breasts and the soft tissues of the thorax wall. Conclusion. It is shown that when performing a ugmentation mammaplasty in 15 % of cases, patients with a more convex front wall of the chestis determined by the offset projection of the mammary glands in the sides, and when flattened thorax may be marked medial displacement of the nipples.
