    Achieving a mastectomy occurs in one third of the acts of breast cancer surgery. In the present context, the increase in the diagnosis of early breast cancer, including widespread or multifocal forms, the possibility of a reconstruction at the same time is discussed. It will be proposed in a specific context, taking into account various factors: oncological (characteristics of the tumor, adjuvant treatments), clinical (smoking, comorbidity) and psychological (choice of the patient). The technique of mastectomy will be adapted to the indication and choice of reconstruction procedure. Including the preservation of the nipple-areola complex, or the skin envelope will be possible for some guidance. The reconstruction is possible with the use of breast implants, or musculocutaneous flaps or by the combination of both. Some of these techniques are associated with significant morbidity, and appropriate selection of procedure to the patient will guarantee a lower risk of complications.
