  • Title: Breast reconstruction following mastectomy.
    Author: Versaci AD, Libbey JT.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 1994 Dec; 21(4):733-50. PubMed ID: 7731645.
    Abstract:
    Breast reconstruction after mastectomy for malignant breast disease is a viable option that should be offered to all women undergoing mastectomy. Reconstruction can be done either at the time of the mastectomy or at any convenient time in the postoperative period when the oncologic care givers and the patient feel comfortable with the decision. Reconstruction of the breast will not interfere with either further therapy or the detection of recurrent tumor. Today more and more women who are fully informed about reconstruction opt for the treatment. No contraindications to reconstructive surgery arise for the properly selected patient.
