Abstract

In delayed-immediate breast reconstruction, a tissue expander is placed in subpectoral position during the primary operation. After overexpansion of tissue expander, the tissue expander is then replaced with permanent implant according to the postoperative radiotherapy. Delayed-immediate reconstruction can receive better aesthetic outcomes and decrease the incidence of complications. In this paper, the indications and surgical methods of delayed-immediate breast reconstruction were reviewed.
