Abstract
Introduction: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) collected from London hospitals showed in 2011-2012 only 24.3% of patients receiving a mastectomy went on to have an immediate reconstruction and showed significant differences according to residential area. We compared mastectomy and immediate reconstruction rates at Charing Cross Hospital (where all patients recommended a mastectomy are offered an immediate reconstruction on-site) to those across London.
