Secondary breast reconstruction is recommended one year after cancer treatment for mastectomized women. Surgical techniques like prosthesis implantation or flap transfer yield good cosmetic results, making reconstruction an integral part of breast cancer care.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Increasing interest in breast reconstruction among mastectomized women in Denmark.
  • Secondary reconstruction is recommended one year post-oncologic treatment.
  • Patient selection primarily includes Stage I localized disease cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline current practices and outcomes for secondary breast reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and cosmetic results of different reconstructive methods.
  • To advocate for reconstructive surgery as an integral component of breast cancer treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Submuscular implantation of soft silicone prostheses.
  • Tissue expansion preceding prosthesis implantation.

  • Nipple-areola complex reconstruction after achieving symmetry.

    • Main Results:

    • Reconstruction duration ranges from 0.5-1 year in uncomplicated cases.
    • Good cosmetic results are achievable with current techniques.
    • Flap transfer can sometimes obviate the need for a prosthesis.

    Conclusions:

    • Secondary breast reconstruction is a viable and recommended option for mastectomized women.
    • The described surgical methods provide satisfactory cosmetic outcomes.
    • Reconstructive surgery should be accessible as part of comprehensive breast cancer care.
