    Abstract:
    Breast cancer in advanced stages is a condition still frequently diagnosed in the female patients of this hospital. The surgical treatment proposed tends to be radical and mutilating. The importance of the breast for the female self-image is recognized, as well as the sameness of the prognosis of the disease after breast reconstruction, for which different techniques may be proposed to the patients. Among them is the use of the m. rectus abdominis as musculo-cutaneous free flap. This paper reports our experience in regard to the indication, tactics, results and complications of this technique.
