Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncologic surgery
  • Plastic and reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • Breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer treatment.
  • Plastic surgeons play a key role in restoring breast shape and symmetry post-mastectomy or quadrantectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline current breast reconstruction techniques.
  • To improve aesthetic results and patient satisfaction following oncological breast surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Discusses breast reshaping with mammoplasty for ptotic breasts.
  • Explores flap-based reconstruction (local and free flaps) from donor sites like the back, abdomen, or thigh.
  • Compares prepectoral (onlay) implant reconstruction with submuscular (behind muscle) placement.

Main Results:

  • Prepectoral reconstruction offers easier recovery and more natural results compared to submuscular placement.
  • Autologous flaps provide a natural breast appearance and can be used in radiated areas.
  • Conservative mastectomy techniques enhance reconstructive outcomes, especially with implants.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple breast reconstruction methods exist, tailored to patient needs and surgical context.
  • Technological advancements improve aesthetic results and patient experience in breast reconstruction.
