Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Breast reconstruction following mastectomy is a critical aspect of the multidisciplinary management of breast cancer, significantly impacting patients' psychological and physical well-being. This review explores the various surgical techniques available for breast reconstruction, including autologous tissue reconstruction and implant-based methods. The article delves into the indications, contraindications, advantages, and potential complications associated with each approach. Furthermore, we examine the role of oncoplastic surgery in enhancing aesthetic outcomes while ensuring oncological safety. Advances in microsurgical techniques, the development of acellular dermal matrices, and the use of 3D imaging and printing technology are highlighted. The review also addresses patient selection criteria, preoperative planning, and postoperative care to optimize outcomes. By providing a comprehensive overview of contemporary practices and emerging innovations, this article aims to guide clinicians in the optimal management of breast reconstruction and to inform patients about their reconstructive options.
