OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of cross vertical mattress suturing with basilar tightening during the correction of inverted nipple.

METHODS: Thirty patients with inverted nipples underwent cross vertical mattress suturing with basilar tightening. The postoperative results were recorded.

RESULTS: All the patients were followed up for 6 months to 2 years. The results of 28 cases were satisfactory, and there was no recurrence. Two patients relapsed, and a mild depression was formed. They were satisfied with the results after the second correction.

CONCLUSION: The method of cross vertical mattress suturing with basilar tightening has been applied to treat inverted nipple, with minimal trauma, which provides a reliable guarantee for a long-term effect. It is worthy to be widely used in clinical practice.
