“…Although most women are offered TM to avoid poor cosmetic outcomes associated with standard BCS, over 40 per cent are offered TM to avoid mastectomy. Recent work comparing the outcomes of women undergoing TM and those undergoing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction suggests that TM may be associated with fewer complications 44 and better body image, function and quality of life than mastectomy and reconstruction 45 . The majority of women undergoing TM in the present study had a high BMI and co-morbidities that may have made them unsuitable or high risk for immediate breast reconstruction, and the procedure may have particular quality-of-life benefits for this group of patients.…”

“… 41 Additionally, as OBCS is increasingly being utilized as an alternative to mastectomy, with or without, immediate reconstruction, this approach may offer a lower complication rate compared with total mastectomy and reconstruction, particularly if radiotherapy is being given in the adjuvant setting. 3 , 5 , 59 Potential benefits of this approach could be improved patient satisfaction, quality of life, as well as decreased health care costs compared with full breast reconstruction. 67 …”

“…Only four (2.7 per cent) studies used the validated Clavien–Dindo classification 39–42 . Certain studies, which did not classify complications formally, did report complications requiring reoperation or readmission separately ( n = 19, 12.8 per cent) 15 , 32 , 43–59 . Most studies ( n = 95, 81.2 per cent) did not clarify the measurement period for postoperative complications.…”

“…The majority ( n = 29, 72.5 per cent) did not define ‘delay’, and reported number of days/weeks until radiotherapy, chemotherapy or first adjuvant treatment. A minority of studies ( n = 10, 25.0 per cent) defined delays to adjuvant therapy with varying temporal cut-offs, for example less than or equal to 4 weeks ( n = 2) 15 , 48 , 6 weeks ( n = 4) 8 , 32 , 41 , 67 and 8 weeks ( n = 2) 35 , 68 after operation. Two studies differentiated the cut-off for chemotherapy and radiotherapy as 6 and 8 weeks after surgery, respectively 52 , 69 .…”
