Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy and Immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction

Neoadjuvant radiotherapy(NART) followed by mastectomy and immediate DIEP flap reconstruction is feasible and technically safe. However, reports of NACT followed immediate implant-based breast reconstruction are rare. Some studies have shown that NART followed immediate implant-based breast reconstruction seems feasible and can be safely attempted. It's well known that radiotherapy after implant-based breast reconstruction have negative effects on implant and cosmetic results. So, investigators conducted a polit study to learn about acute post-surgical complications following skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate implant-based breast reconstruction after NART.
