“…In addition, current results have congruently proposed higher BMI as a possible risk factor for lower quality of life . A recent meta‐analysis also supported the suggested impact of obesity on morbidity and surgical complications after reconstruction …”

“…31,32,39 A recent metaanalysis also supported the suggested impact of obesity on morbidity and surgical complications after reconstruction. 61 When considering sociodemographic variables, age is an important variable to discuss. A recent systematic review has reported that the uptake of breast reconstruction after mastectomy is lower in older patients, raising the question that some older women are currently not proposed for reconstruction because of generalized assumptions about esthetic needs or age-related safety concerns.…”

Objective The aim of this study is to present a broader perspective of factors affecting the quality of life after postmastectomy breast reconstruction in women with breast cancer by considering these patients' self‐reported outcomes. Methods The search was performed from 29 March to 19 April 2019, on the following databases: PsycInfo; Web of Science Core Collection, Current Contents Connect, Derwent Innovations Index, KCI‐Korean Journal Database, Russian Science Citation Index, SciELO Citation Index, and MEDLINE. The studies were included if they identified factors affecting self‐reported quality of life after breast reconstruction, in women with breast cancer. Results One hundred and twenty‐two records were identified. After quality assessment, 44 studies were included for qualitative synthesis. This review comprised a total of 16 683 women who underwent breast reconstruction. The results identified a broad collection of 32 empirically based variables associated with several domains of quality of life. These variables were grouped into four categories: (a) surgical, (b) clinical, (c) psychosocial, and (d) sociodemographic variables. Conclusions This systematic review goes beyond surgical factors of morbidity and uses patient‐reported outcomes to scope wider issues that influence quality of life, such as psychosocial and sociodemographic variables. It sustains the need to adopt a more holistic approach and advises the consideration of preoperative psychosocial factors to better understand these patients' quality of life after breast reconstruction and to implement future preventive measures.

“…Stage 0 was diagnosed in 2% of patients, I -30%, IIA -33%, IIB -16%, IIIA -15%, IIIB -2%, IIIC -2%. To strengthen the lower slope of the breast, operated on for cancer, titanium meshes were used in 12 cases and polyester 3D meshes in 68 cases, acellular dermal matrix Permacol -in 24 cases.Silicone implant volume ranged from 120 to 585 cm 3 and depended on the individual anatomy of the patient. Mutations of the BRCA1 gene were found in 5 patients, and therefore prophylactic contralateral subcutaneous mastectomy was made with the strengthening of the lower slope of the reconstructed mesh implant.…”

“…The quality of life in patients decreases dramatically as a result of the radical treatment. Reconstructive plastic surgery plays a significant role in the rehabilitation of patients with breast cancer and is currently considered as causative treatment of mental disorders associated with the loss of femininity and integrity of one's own body [2][3][4][5].…”

Вопросы реконструктивной и пластической хирургии № 2 (61) июнь'2017 of injury, blood loss, and surgery time, as well as assumes no defects of donor zones. The paper presents the review of publications and results obtained by the authors. Material and methods. Since 2013 till 2016, specialists of the P. Herzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute made 104 one-time breast cancer reconstructions with the use of mesh implants in 80 cases, acellular dermal matrix in 24 cases after radical skin-sparing or subcutaneous mastectomy. Average age of patients was 47.2 years. Stage 0 breast cancer was diagnosed in 2% of cases, I-30%, IIA-33%, IIB-16%, IIIA-15%, IIIB-2%, IIIC-2%. Titanium mesh implants were used in 12 patients, and polyester 3D mesh implants were applied in 68 cases. The size of silicone implants varied from 120 to 585 cm 3 depended on anatomic features of chest wall and breast constitution. Results. Cosmetic results were considered as excellent in 67.3% of cases, good in 19.2% of cases, satisfactory in 7.7% of cases, and poor in 5.8% of cases. The frequency of removal of silicone implant was 5.8% when titanium mesh implant was used and 0% for the polyester 3D mesh implant. Seroma was diagnosed in 1.9% of cases with the use of acellular dermal matrix and in 2.9% with the use of titanium mesh implant. Nipple-areola necrosis was observed in 1.9% of cases with the use of titanium mesh implant. Infection of implant site was observed in 2.9% of cases. Capsular contracture developed in 5.8% of cases after application of radiotherapy to the reconstructed breast. Conclusions. Biological and synthetic materials form a significant alternative to existing ways of breast reconstruction and, in many cases, adequate replacement of autologous muscular flaps at the proper selection of patients.

Introduction. In recent years, considerable success has been achieved in complex and combined treatment of breast cancer (BC). Reconstructive plastic surgery plays an important role in the rehabilitation of patients with breast cancer and it is currently considered as the causal treatment of mental disorders caused by loss of femininity and integrity of one's own body. One-step breast reconstruction for cancer treatment makes it possible to use supplementary materials -synthetic and biological implants that can replace muscle autografts and thereby reduce trauma, blood loss, operation time, and thereby help to avoid the defect of donor areas. The authors describe the state of the art at present and demonstrate the results of their own research.
