BREAST RECONSTRUCTION AFTER MASTECTOMY FOR BREAST TUMOR : ABOUT 24 CASES

Abstract

The mutilating surgery for breast cancer causes deep somatic and psychological sequelae. Breast reconstruction can mitigate these effects and permit the patient to help rebuild their lives. Our work is a retrospective study over 7 years, from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2019, covering 24 cases of reconstruction breast collected in the department of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery of ERRAZI hospital in Marrakech.This work presents through these first operated cases, the results obtained as well as an illustrated panorama of the different surgical methods used in the service during the different surgical times.It also Conducts a review of the literature, discussing our findings and reviewing the techniques currently used in the various centers for breast reconstruction. Breast reconstruction is today one of the most successful plastic surgery, however a few women use it, often because of lack of information. Every day, the surgical teams demonstrate an increasingly technical skill, in their constant search for perfection. It is clear that it is at the level of information that efforts should be intensified.
