Skin sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction for breast cancer: a three to five year follow-up study of post-operative patients looking at cosmetic outcome
… Most tumours could be resected using this approach and local recurrences were rare. However, this radical surgical approach was associated with significant short- and long term morbidity. Removal of the pectoralis muscles resulted in major aesthetic chest wall deformity. Other complications …
