Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide, and surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Breast reconstruction and Oncoplastic techniques have advanced over the last decade from complex autologous reconstruction to minimal invasive surgery. Breast reconstruction has evolved from traditional submuscular techniques to prepectoral implant-based reconstruction, thanks to advances in implantable biologic and synthetic products that make this muscle-sparing approach possible. In this state-of-the art volume, prominent clinicians and the pioneers of this technique join forces to provide the reader with a practical guide to prepectoral breast reconstruction, including relevant anatomical knowledge, key skills, and concrete tips for daily practice. After discussing the historical evolution of prepectoral breast reconstruction and providing an anatomical description of the superficial fascia system, the book presents the main approaches currently available, and addresses patient selection, radiation therapy, postoperative monitoring, and particular challenges such as revision surgery. Dedicated chapters on mesh scaffolds and autologous lipomodelling are also included. The book also features over 150 original full-color illustrations and drawings, together with take-home messages. With its complete yet handy format, Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction offers a valuable reference guide for residents, fellows, practicing breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and all professionals in related sub-specialties.
