Immediate reconstruction with an expander/implant following ablatio mammae because of breast cancer : side effects and cosmetic results after adjuvant chest wall radiotherapy.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Timing and sequencing of radiotherapy in the context of allogenous breast reconstruction have not been standardized. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of adjuvant radiotherapy on morbidity and patient ... Read more...

Effect of postoperative radiotherapy on autologous deep inferior epigastric perforator flap volume after immediate breast reconstruction.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The effect of postoperative radiotherapy following autologous flap breast reconstruction is controversial. The aim of this study was to measure whether adjuvant radiotherapy following immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) ... Read more...

Lateral mammaplasty reconstruction after surgery for breast cancer.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Up to 60 per cent of cancers develop laterally in the breast and breast-conserving surgery frequently produces superolateral nipple-areolar complex (NAC) distortion aggravated by postoperative irradiation. Correction is technically ... Read more...
