Our eight-year experience with breast reconstruction using abdominal advancement flap (207 reconstructions)

There are many possibilities for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The use of abdominal advancement flap in combination with silicone implant is among the less commonly used methods, although it is simple, fast and leads to excellent results. We started to use this technique at our department eight years ago. Since then we have performed 207 breast reconstructions using abdominal advancement flap in combination with silicone implants. We performed follow-up checks on the patients for between one and six years.
