Abstract: Purpose of the study: to compare the quality of life of patients who underwent mastectomy and non-flapped breast reconstructions for cancer. The study included 90 patients, diagnosed with breast cancer 0–IIA st. T1–2N0M0. The minimum age of the patients was 30 years old, the maximum was 65 years, the average age was (49.76 ± 8.54) years old. Patients were divided into three groups of 30 women depending on the type of surgical treatment of the tumor and breast reconstruction: 1st group – Madden surgery with a subsectoral expander installation and replacement with a silicone endoprosthesis, 2nd group – Madden surgery with prepectoral expander installation, staged lipofilling and replacement with silicone endoprosthesis, 3rd group – radical subcutaneous mastectomy with one-stage prepectoral breast reconstruction. The quality of life was assessed using a set of Breast-Q scales. The data obtained make it possible to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of subcutaneous mastectomy with one-stage prepectoral breast reconstruction according to the method proposed by the authors due to the tendency to a more intensive increase of the quality of life of patients at the stages of rehabilitation in such aspects as psychosocial, physical and sexual well-being.
