Abstract
- Different procedures of breast reconstruction were employed in the treatment of 223 breast cancer patients (primary reconstruction-97; delayed reconstruction-136). No major complications were recorded, including total necrosis of transverse abdominal island flap. The advantage offered by the latter is due to its resistance to chemoradiotherapy: complications such as boundary necrosis do not destroy cosmetic effect as in the case of expander application.
