At sternal notch-to-nipple (SN-N) distances above 35cm, the inferior pedicle (IFP) technique is often considered most reliable due to its vascular supply, potentially reducing complications. However, the superomedial pedicle (SMP) technique is associated with better aesthetic outcomes. We compared SMP and IFP outcomes at SN-N distances of 35\u201340\u00a0cm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 81 breast cancer patients (43 SMP, 38 IFP), who underwent therapeutic mammoplasty with an SN-N distance of 35\u201340\u00a0cm.

Mean operative time was shorter with SMP than with IFP (88.21 \u00b1 5.07 vs. 119.3 \u00b1 5.60 minutes,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).

Other postoperative complications were rare, with one infection in each group.
