Abstract
Background: The primary purpose of breast reconstruction is to improve quality of life (QoL) among women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer. Therefore, the physical and psychosocial impact of this intervention should be evaluated post-operatively in order to better understand its effect on QoL. Breast Q assesses postoperative QoL and satisfaction in the domains of physical, psychosocial and sexual well-being as well as satisfaction with the reconstruction, overall outcome and care. The aim of this study was to assess patient satisfaction and QOL in those undergoing breast reconstructions within the Breast Cancer Unit at University Hospital Limerick (UHL) between 2005 and 2016.
