Abstract

The anatomical basis and operative technique for insertion of mammary prostheses in the completely submuscular position are described. The results of 38 completely submuscular prostheses used for reconstructive breast surgery form the basis of this report. The two major advantages of the method, freedom from major complications, and a reduced incidence of deforming fibrous capsular contracture, have important implications in reconstructive breast surgery.
