Métodos en reconstrucción mamaria para pacientes con antecedentes de cáncer de mama tras una mastectomía total o parcial

Abstract

Breast cancer is a tumor process in which healthy breast cells degenerate and then multiply to form tumors. As we all know, breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women. Therefore, mastectomy is one of the most used medical interventions to prevent, fight or stop breast cancer totally or partially. Due to this, the objective of this work is to determine the method or methods used for breast reconstruction for patients with a history of breast cancer after a total or partial mastectomy, and also to know a little about its possible complications in case there are any, in order to know which would be the most assertive to apply to the patient, For this purpose, information was collected in databases such as PubMed, Redalyc, Scielo, Cochrane and Science Direct, and by means of a method similar to PRISMA, a necessary number of articles were chosen that met the criteria for the preparation of the work, and search terms were also used in pages such as MESH/DECS. Among the main methods that are found to achieve breast reconstruction is immediate reconstruction that can even be applied at the time of mastectomy, however, the technique to be used will depend on the patient's case, since soft tissue and tissue flaps can be used, as well as autologous tissues that are catalogued as having better results than even radiotherapy.
