Immediate reconstruction of the breast following modified radical mastectomy for carcinoma of the breast. 1984

G S Georgiade

Immediate reconstruction offers an adjunct to the standard modified radical mastectomy for carcinoma of the breast in highly selected patients. It provides early reestablishment of breast form with a low complication rate and high patient satisfaction. There has been no evidence to date that immediate reconstruction affects the natural course of the primary breast cancer.
