This study reviews 100 breast reconstructions after mastectomy using a single method. It analyzes patient suitability, hospital stays, complications, and outcomes for this reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Mastectomy is a common procedure for breast cancer treatment.
  • Breast reconstruction aims to restore a natural appearance and improve quality of life post-mastectomy.
  • Standardized surgical approaches are crucial for consistent outcomes in breast reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experience of 100 consecutive breast reconstructions after mastectomy.
  • To analyze patient eligibility, hospital stay, complications, and results of a standardized reconstruction method.
  • To showcase representative cases to illustrate the surgical technique and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A standardized surgical technique was applied to 100 consecutive patients undergoing breast reconstruction.
