[Breast reconstruction following radical mastectomy with myocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap]. 1985

H Brückner

Reconstruction of the female breast following radical mastectomy is bond to some criteria of cancer. Various methods are possible. At present the best method is the amplification of the skin cover by a latissimus-dorsi-myocutaneous flap in combination with augmentation by prosthesis. The other breast is adapted to size and level of the reconstructed breast. A quarter to half a year later the latter will be completed by substitution of the areola. This not too difficult surgical procedure yields good results and relieves the women from the psychical burden of being mutilated.
