“…PMRT changes to the skin have been well characterized, including skin thinning, fibrosis, and overall structural changes in epidermal and dermal keratinocytes and melanocytes. 33 This is why PMRT patients who undergo autologous reconstruction often require flap designs that include an oval or triangular skin paddle to increase the skin envelope. 34 These patches could be fairly large on reconstructed breast, leading to more scarring and a clear distinction between the native tissue and newly imported skin patch.…”

“…Despite the negative effects that PMRT has on reconstructive outcomes, it is an important therapy in reducing local recurrence and increasing overall survival. 33 That is why it is the job of reconstructive surgeons to balance the patients’ reconstructive care with their oncologic needs, as cancer treatment is the priority. Our study shows that more PMRT patients who undergo SP TE placement require large skin patches and multiflaps than PMRT patients who undergo prepectoral TE placement.…”
