Les indications des reconstructions mammaires après mastectomie selon la situation carcinologique

Breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer treatment. It must be systematically mentioned when the disease is announced and proposed at an optimal time during cancer management. In case of ductal carcinoma in situ, reconstruction should be proposed at the same time as mastectomy, which generally preserves the skin. The conservation of the nipple-areolar complex should be further evaluated. In the case of invasive breast carcinoma, breast reconstruction is generally proposed at a distance from the oncological time, except for patients requiring neither chemotherapy nor postoperative radiotherapy for whom reconstruction can be immediate. Finally, in the case of prophylactic synchronous contralateral mastectomy, reconstruction should never delay the overall management of breast cancer.
