  • Title: Reconstruction of the breast.
    Author: Bostwick J, Carlson GW.
    Journal: Surg Oncol Clin N Am; 1997 Jan; 6(1):71-89. PubMed ID: 9031435.
    Abstract:
    The options for breast reconstruction include implant and expander, latissimus dorsi flap, TRAM flap, and free flaps. The moratorium on silicone gel implants has increased the use of TRAM and free flap breast reconstruction. Immediate reconstruction after preoperative planning with the surgical oncologist has improved the aesthetic results. Morbidity has been reduced through refinement in surgical technique and careful patient selection.
