[Breast reconstruction after mastectomy: necessity, evolution, techniques and research goals].
Revue Médicale Suisse 2023 June 15
Breast reconstruction is recognized as an integrated part of breast cancer treatment today. Depending on tumor characteristics, different types of partial and total breast resections are indicated: tumorectomy, nipple/skin sparing or complete mastectomy. Patients' desires, general health status and body shape, as well as the necessity of adjuvant therapies, lead to the individual reconstruction plan. Next to implant-based reconstructions, autologous reconstructions play a great role, including local, pedicled and free flaps as well as autologous fat grafting. In cases of tumorectomy, oncoplastic surgery comes into play: it is the combination of a large tumor resection and immediate breast reconstruction with the remaining breast tissue.
