Abstract

Breast reconstructive surgery has become an accepted part of the patient pathway for breast cancer patients requiring mastectomy. Yet the UK National Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction Audit (2011)(1) identified that one in four women were not satisfied with how their unclothed breasts looked after delayed reconstructive surgery. Women with an intact breast after surgery are generally referred for whole breast irradiation, radiotherapy increases the risk of these women developing breast oedema.
