Breast reconstruction
Reconstrucția sânului este intervenția chirurgicală indicată femeilor care au suferit o mastectomie ca parte a tratamentului pentru cancer de sân, refăcând forma și volumul sânului pierdut. Spitalizarea variază între 4-8 zile, în funcție de tehnica folosită, iar aspectul final al cicatricilor poate fi analizat la 12 luni. Este o intervenție decontată de casa de asigurări de sănătate.
Nowadays, breast reconstruction is an indispensable step in the treatment of breast cancer, which restores bodily integrity and the sense of femininity in patients who have undergone partial or total excision of breast tissue.
The intervention is indicated mainly in women who have undergone a mastectomy as part of breast cancer treatment. Reconstruction is a personal choice, and the plastic surgeon will discuss and help the patient make an informed decision.
Benefits of breast reconstruction after mastectomy
Breast amputation creates a physical asymmetry, but the effect is also psychological, due to the symbolism attributed to breasts. Restoring breast relief has been shown to bring significant improvement both physically and psychologically. Self-image and the way the patient perceives her femininity improve dramatically after breast reconstruction.
Mastectomy is the surgical ablation of the breast performed to treat a malignant tumour. When the oncologist does not recommend postoperative radiotherapy, mastectomy can be followed by breast reconstruction in the same surgical session. Secondary reconstruction is considered when the ablative operation must be followed by complementary treatments.
Breast reconstruction techniques are varied but aim to restore the shape and volume of the lost breast, restore the nipple-areola complex, and, where appropriate, a symmetrisation intervention of the healthy breast. Breast reconstruction after mastectomy for oncological conditions is covered by health insurance.
