Abstract

Breast reconstruction is part of the treatment of breast cancer needing mastectomy. To deal with the numbering technics in breast reconstruction surgery and with the number of patients seeking reconstruction, the authors proposed a strategy taking care of the patients wishes, of the patients morphology and of the surgicals limits of the different technics. On this aim, the authors reviewed a 30 patients series of secondary breast reconstruction composed of 23 inferior gluteal free flaps, 4 transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneous flaps and 3 latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps.
