Abstract
Reconstructive surgery following mastectomy has had an increased acceptability with improved techniques and prostheses. Plastic reconstructive procedures following prophylactic mastectomy were performed in 104 patients and following mastectomy for cancer in 88 patients. Capsular contractions have not occurred with the use of a subpectoral pocket and detection of recurrent cancer is not hampered by the materials now used.Entities:
