Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Therapeutic mammoplasty starts by excision of the inflammatory mass with all infected tissue. Technique of closure of the defect will be tailored according to the site of the inflammatory mass according to each quadrant is as follows:
*Inflamatory mass at the upper half of the breast will be subjected to inferior pedicle therapeutic mammoplasty technique or round block.
*Inflamatory mass at the lower half of the breast will be subjected to superior pedicle therapeutic mammoplasty techniques and round block.
*Inflamatory mass at the periareolar region by Round block.
Regarding the contralateral breast, only patient with bra size C or D (10 patients) were offered contra-lateral reduction mammoplasty for symmetry and better esthetic result. Seven patients accepted while 3patients refused the procedure.
approximate duration of the procedure is 2 hours
Intervention code [1] 291514 0
Treatment: Surgery
Comparator / control treatment
simple excision and direct closure. Data was collected from previous researches (Azlina AF, Ariza Z, Arni T, Hisham AN: Chronic granulomatous mastitis: Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. World J Surg 2003; 27:515–18. and Akcan A, Akyildiz H, Deneme MA, Akgun H, Aristas Y (2006) Granulomatous lobular mastitis: a complex diagnostic and therapeutic problem. World J Surg 30(8):1403–1409)
Excision and simple closure has been performed for a along time and still performed in some surgical centers.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 294665 0
Recurrence
Timepoint [1] 294665 0
detected by the surgeon by clinical examination during visits in outpatients clinic at 1, 3, 6, 12,18 and 24 months. Recurrence was considered only after true-cut biopsy and histopathological confirmation.
Primary outcome [2] 294666 0
Patients’ satisfaction
Timepoint [2] 294666 0
by asking the patients to fill a premade questionnaire (KNUH breast reconstruction satisfaction questionnaire) during patients visit at 6 months after surgery. Each question was graded on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “very satisfied [5]” to “very dissatisfied [1]” Then, each questionnaire was divided into two groups, with a rating of “satisfied” for mean scores >4 and “dissatisfied” for all other.
Secondary outcome [1] 313830 0
Operative time
Timepoint [1] 313830 0
measured (in minutes) by the operative nurse during the operation.
Secondary outcome [2] 313831 0
Early post operative complications (bleeding, early wound infection, seroma or diastasis of surgical wound)
Timepoint [2] 313831 0
detected by the doctor during the early post operative period and during patients visits at 14 days and one month after surgery.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Only patients with histopathological confirmation of Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis will be included in the study. Patients who have breast mass exceeding 20 % and less than 50% of the breast size with failed medical treatment (non decrease of mass size, severe pain from the mass that interfere with daily activity or intolerance to corticosteroid treatment) will be included in the study and will be offered surgical treatment. We used Bra Size as standard method for breast size while the size of the mass will be calculated clinically and radiologicaly.

Key exclusion criteria
All patients with known etiology of granulomatous mastitis will be excluded from the study. Patients who have breast mass less than 20 % or more than 50% of breast size will also be excluded from the study and will be offered alternative surgical option.

Summary
Brief summary
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare disease affecting young females. It is difficult to diagnose as it may mimic cancer clinically and radiologicaly. There is no consensus regarding management strategy of this disease. However, corticosteroids and surgical excision are the most commonly used therapies. Simple surgical excision with direct closure may be satisfactory for small lesions. On the other hand, for big lesions it results in disfigurement of the breast which will lead to psychological effects on those young ladies. So the Aim of the study is to evaluate the use of therapeutic mammoplasty surgical techniques for management of these patients in terms of recurrence and postoperative patients' satisfaction.
