BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH SUBPECTORAL IMPLANT (SUBPECTORAL VS DUAL PLANE)
Abstract
Immediate Breast Reconstruction (IBR) is widely recognized as the preferred reconstructive option for women undergoing mastectomy. It is essential for patients to receive thorough counseling regarding the available approaches to breast reconstruction. Implant-based reconstruction can be executed using ei-ther a one-stage or two-stage technique. In the one-stage direct-to-implant procedure, the final implant is positioned during the mastectomy. Conversely, the two-stage approach involves initial placement of a tissue expander, followed by the insertion of the permanent implant during a subsequent procedure.
