【🏥💡港大醫學院率先引入自體脂肪移植技術配合乳房保留手術 幫助乳癌患者回復體態重拾自信
HKUMed pioneers the integration of lipofilling with breast-conserving surgery to restore body contour and confidence for breast cancer patients】

港大外科研究團隊早前在香港開展一項臨床試驗🔬，率先採用「自體脂肪乳房重塑手術」，為早期乳癌患者切除腫瘤後，隨即利用自體脂肪移植（脂肪填充）技術進行乳房保留手術👩‍⚕️，以改善術後乳房組織缺損及變形問題。

目前，港大醫學院團隊已為15位乳癌患者成功完成手術。病人手術復原後，便可繼續他們術後的癌症治療，包括電療⚡及其他藥物治療💊。當中60%病人已進行術後三個月的檢查。初步數據顯示，透過自體脂肪重建，術後三個月，病人的乳房會有約10%的體積增長📈，對照組則普遍會有12%的減少📉。這不僅為患者提供全新的治療選擇，亦希望藉此提高術後的生活質素與外觀。

【最新消息】港大醫學院率先引入自體脂肪移植技術配合乳房保留手術 幫助乳癌患者回復體態重拾自信

乳癌是本港女性最常見的癌症，也是第三位致命的癌症。目前腫瘤切除手術仍是乳癌治療的主要方法，患者在術後可能出現組織缺損而令乳房出現變形等問題，並因此可能影響外觀與生活。港大醫學院臨床醫學學院外科學系臨床教授、乳腺外科主任兼於崇光基金教授（乳腺癌研究）鄺靄慧教授表示：「許多女性在診斷乳癌後最擔心的就是須切除乳房，影響外觀，臨床上更有患者在手術後因外觀轉變而自信心受挫，情緒低落，甚至影響康復進度。」

鄺靄慧教授續指：「傳統的乳房保留手術會配合整形手術，患者切除部分乳房後，透過調整周圍組織來重塑乳房形狀，但往往受限於切除手術後剩餘的乳房組織體積，尤其當腫瘤較大或位置較靠近乳房中央時，重塑後的乳房可能出現明顯的不對稱或凹陷。這不僅影響外觀，也可能對患者的心理造成壓力，降低她們對手術結果的滿意度。」

即時自體脂肪移植技術結合3D影像評估

港大醫學院臨床醫學學院外科學系研究團隊於香港開展一項臨床試驗，率先採用「自體脂肪乳房重塑手術」，為早期乳癌患者切除腫瘤後，隨即利用自體脂肪移植（脂肪填充）技術以進行乳房保留手術，以改善術後乳房組織缺損及變形問題。這不僅為患者提供全新的治療選擇，亦希望藉此提高術後的生活質素與外觀。

鄺靄慧教授表示：「我們計劃為48個乳癌患者進行臨床試驗，即時以自體脂肪移植技術進行乳房保留手術。研究團隊期望透過是次臨床試驗，能為更多適合進行乳房保留手術的患者提供其他選擇，改善術後乳房外形對稱性與自然感，從而提升患者自信及生活質素。」

目前，港大醫學院團隊已為15位乳癌患者成功完成手術，病人手術復原後，便可繼續他們術後的癌症治療，當中包括電療及其他藥物治療。外科團隊亦會繼續跟進及觀察病人狀況，以收集術後成效數據，當中包括外觀、乳房容量，以及病人對自身的生活質量及滿意度等。目前手術後病人復原理想，一般術後一天已經可以出院，跟平常手術的病人無異。目前為止，未有病人出現復發跡象。

此外，60%的病人已進行術後三個月的檢查。初步數據顯示，透過自體脂肪重建，於手術後三個月時，病人的乳房會有約10%的體積增長，對照組則普遍會有12%的減少。初步亦可見患者的生活質素，特別是對於自身健康滿意程度較傳統手術提升。同時，團隊亦引進3D影像系統，透過三維攝影精準測量體積與對比分析，也有助長期追蹤監測，收集數據，客觀評估手術前後變化，進一步驗證該技術的安全性與長期成效，為臨床應用提供實證依據，推動即時自體脂肪移植在臨床實踐中更廣泛應用。

來自同一學系的名譽臨床助理教授李中正醫生指出，一般乳房保留手術會同時與整形外科手術同步進行。當乳腺外科團隊為病人進行乳癌切除手術時，整形外科醫生會從患者身體脂肪較多的部位，如肚皮、大腿及腰間抽取脂肪，經處理後再注射至乳房。自體脂肪移植技術於醫學界已有數十年歷史，在美容領域廣泛應用於面部填充、隆胸手術等，但在癌症腫瘤切除手術後同時採用作乳房重塑仍屬少數，而且在乳房保留手術中更不常用。這主要是因為過去醫學界對於在腫瘤切除後立即進行自體脂肪移植的安全性與效果仍存有疑慮。但隨着臨床數據的累積，反映該技術安全性良好。因此，臨床團隊亦應用此技術於本地病人，並希望作進一步研究，以追蹤長期效果，尤其在改善外觀及提升生活品質方面。

【尿失禁的成因與治療方法 Causes and Treatments of Urinary Incontinence】

尿失禁是一種常見但令人尷尬的健康問題，尤其影響年長女性。研究顯示，香港約有13%至21%的成年女性正面對尿失禁的困擾；而男性在接受前列腺手術後，也可能出現類似情況。
港大外科名譽臨床導師王庭峰醫生早前在香港電台節目《醫生與你》中，深入講解尿失禁的成因、症狀及治療方案。

Urinary incontinence is a common yet often embarrassing health issue that affects many elderly individuals, especially women over the age of 60. Studies show that approximately 13% to 21% of adult women in Hong Kong experience urinary incontinence. For men, this condition may occur after undergoing prostate surgery.

Dr. Thomas Wong, Honorary Clinical Tutor of the Department of Surgery, HKUMed, was recently invited on RTHK’s program Doctor and You to explain the symptoms and available treatment options.
