IMPACT OF MASTECTOMY ON SPINAL AND TRUNK MORPHOMETRY IN PRE-MENOPAUSAL AND POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Аннотация

This research investigates the effects of mastectomy on spinal and trunk morphometry in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women. By employing advanced imaging techniques and comprehensive physical assessments, the study evaluates changes in spinal curvature, trunk alignment, and overall posture resulting from the surgical procedure. Comparative analysis of pre- and post-operative data reveals distinct morphometric changes associated with mastectomy. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the physical implications of mastectomy and to inform the development of targeted post- operative rehabilitation strategies. The results highlight the importance of individualized care plans to address these morphometric changes and improve patient outcomes. Keywords: Mastectomy, Spinal curvature, Trunk alignment, Pre-menopausal women, Post-menopausal women, Morphometric changes, Post-operative rehabilitation Relevance: Mastectomy is a critical treatment option for breast cancer, but its impact on spinal and trunk morphology, particularly in pre-menopausal versus post- menopausal women, is not well-documented. As both age groups may experience different physiological changes post-surgery, understanding these effects is essential for optimizing post-operative care. This study fills a significant gap by comparing morphometric changes in different menopausal stages, offering insights that can help tailor rehabilitation strategies to the specific needs of each group. Given the high prevalence of breast cancer and the variability in patient demographics, this research is crucial for enhancing clinical practices and patient support. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess and compare the morphometric changes in the spine and trunk of pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women 84 МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ КОНФЕРЕНЦИЯ АКАДЕМИЧЕСКИХ НАУК before and after mastectomy. The study seeks to identify significant differences in spinal curvature and trunk alignment related to menopausal status and to evaluate the implications for post-operative rehabilitation.
