Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction: Current Trends and Techniques , 2023 Epub + converted pdf

Surgery continues to be the basis of treatment for breast cancer, one of the most prevalent cancer types in the world. Over the past ten years, minimally invasive surgery has replaced sophisticated autologous reconstruction in breast reconstruction and oncoplastic procedures.
Thanks to developments in implantable biologic and synthetic goods that enable this muscle-sparing approach, breast reconstruction has progressed from conventional submuscular procedures to prepectoral implant-based reconstruction. In this cutting-edge book, well-known doctors and the creators of the procedure collaborate to give readers a comprehensive introduction to prepectoral breast reconstruction that includes pertinent anatomical knowledge, essential skills, and helpful advice for everyday practice.
The book first discusses the development of prepectoral breast reconstruction historically and then gives an anatomical description of the superficial fascia system before outlining the main methods currently in use and addressing patient selection, radiation therapy, postoperative monitoring, and unique challenges like revision surgery. There are also separate chapters on autologous lipomodelling and mesh scaffolds. Along with take-away lessons, the book also includes over 150 original images and drawings in full color. Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction is a useful reference resource for residents, fellows, practicing breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and all practitioners in relevant sub-specialties with its comprehensive yet portable format.
