Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo summarize the reasons for the complications after breast reconstruction.
METHODSThe reasons for the complications after breast reconstruction were analyzed in flap necrosis, abdominal wall laxity or hernia and seroma.
RESULTSThe partial necrosis rate of LDF, TRAM and DIEP was 7.5%, 26% and 14.2% respectively. The total flap necrosis rate in DIEP was 7.1%. In 19 cases using breast prosthesis, the capsular contracture rate was 21%.
