Abstract:
Breast reconstruction as now to be consider as a complementary treatment of breast cancer surgery. Between 1998-1999 we developed a project of collaboration with Polytech-Silimed Europe Gmbh for a new textured tissue expander. This new system allows expansion of the middle and lower quadrant of the breast acting a physiologic ptosis of the breast. Authors report their experience on the first 130 patients.
