    Abstract:
    Breast reconstruction is widely used in patients who have undergone mastectomy for breast cancer. The paper underlines that reconstruction is often performed by the general surgeon who has become an expert in this type of plastic surgery. The Authors present their own clinical data, and describe the indications and techniques used, and the results obtained. In conclusion, it is stressed that ideally the same surgeon should be experienced in oncology and plastic surgery.
