The Aesthetic

Breast reconstruction with transverse rectus abdominal myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps on pedicles was performed simultaneously with radical mastectomy in 73 patients with breast cancer. In the case of the tumour exceeding the breast borders, or edemo-infiltrative form of cancer, radical mastectomy was accomplished, and the wound defect on the chest wall was closed without technical difficulties, while simultaneously solving the aesthetic part of the operation. Complications were noted in 13 patients (17.8%), and with revision, complications were eliminated without impairing cosmetic effect. Recurrence of the breast cancer was noted in 9.6% of patients, which is explained by the presence of hidden separate metastases not located during the preoperational period or operation. An individual approach in solving the task of simultaneous breast reconstruction with radical mastectomy is necessary in each patient.
