In spite of advances in breast cancerology, partial or total mastectomy still has wide indications and remains a mutilative procedure. Since its introduction over thirty years ago, breast reconstruction has become an accepted, codified and efficient procedure. The techniques which can be used can be broadly divided into two categories: reconstructions with implants, which have been greatly improved by skin expansion techniques, and reconstructions using myocutaneous flaps. Whatever method is used, the breast is modeled during the reconstruction procedure and surgery is frequently necessary to obtain a symmetric opposite breast; a good knowledge of plastic surgery is thus a requisite.

D013524 Surgical Flaps Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end.

D015626 Tissue Expansion A procedure whereby the body is stimulated to generate extra soft tissue by the application of stretching forces that stimulate new growth of tissue which, over a period of time, results in a 2-dimensional expansion of the tissue. The procedure is used in reconstructive surgery for injuries caused by trauma, burns, or ablative surgery. Various types of TISSUE EXPANSION DEVICES have been developed that exert stretching forces.
