Abstract

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among women. Treatment of the breast carcinoma will largely depend upon the clinical stage of the disease.The surgical treatment of patients with breast cancer involves either breast conserving surgery or mastectomy, both of which can result in considerable asymmetry of the breasts. Breast reconstruction offers restoration of breast symmetry to such women, Breast reconstruction has become an important aspect of breast cancer management. The patient needs to be aware that the reconstructed breasts will neither feel nor function like a normal breast but may help in restoring body image and confidence. Reconstructive techniques can be divided into: 1. Non-Autologous methods that use breast implants. 2. Autologous methods in which the patient's own tissues are used. 3. A combination of Autologous and non-Autologous methods.
