Omega and Reverse Omega Incisions: Techniques for Immediate or Delayed Reconstruction of Mildly Ptotic and Larger Breasts Following Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBreast-Conserving Therapy (BCT) has become a widely accepted treatment option for selected breast cancer cases. Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) is considered an effective and oncologically safe approach for certain patients, as it preserves the native skin and nipple, allowing for one- or two-stage reconstruction with optimal cosmetic outcomes. This study aimed to provide our department's experience utilising the Omega and Reverse Omega incision techniques for immediate or delayed breast reconstruction for patients who had undergone NSM.
methodOur study included sixteen cancer patients with mildly ptotic and large breasts who underwent immediate or delayed breast reconstruction using prosthetic implants following NSM, where the Omega incision was utilised, either bilaterally or unilaterally, from January 2022 to December 2024, at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of Nicosia General Hospital. Patient demographics, co-morbidities, pre- and postoperative breast anthropometric measurements, and surgical complications were recorded and analysed.
resultsSixteen patients underwent a total of twenty-one nipple-sparing mastectomy procedures for either breast cancer (90.47%) or risk reduction (9.52%), followed by breast reconstruction. The average age at the time of reconstruction was 64.4 years. The mean preoperative body mass index was 26.73 kg/m
conclusionThe Omega incision appears to be a safe and effective technique for immediate or delayed reconstruction for selected cases of NSM eligible cancer patients with slightly ptotic and/or larger breasts. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention, such as case studies. Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence.
