Abstract
This study is based on the results of a retrospective analysis conducted to restore the shape and size of mammary glands in patients after radical mastectomy. When comparing the three groups of patients, depending on postoperative complications, it was found that the probability of developing specific complications of mild, moderate and severe degree in the group using the method of transplantation of own adipose tissue was lower compared with the groups using the two-stage reconstruction method expander implant and TRAM flap (p>0,05).
When analyzing the results of the BREAST-Q questionnaire survey in the postoperative period, a more significant improvement in the quality of life and greater satisfaction with the result of reconstructive surgery were revealed in the group of patients with the method of transplantation of their own adipose tissue (p<0.05).
Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the monomethod of breast reconstruction through transplantation of own adipose tissue can be considered the method of choice in patients after mastectomy.
Keywords: mastectomy, breast reconstruction, own adipose tissue.
