Abstract
Purpose of Review
Breast reconstruction after prophylactic mastectomy is an important component of the surgical prevention of breast cancer. Women who undergo bilateral prophylactic mastectomy view reconstruction as part of their treatment and the choice to pursue a contralateral mastectomy is influenced by the availability of reconstruction.
Recent Findings
There has been increased data available on both medical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes in reconstruction after mastectomy. This review of recent literature includes trends and outcomes with contralateral and bilateral prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction, discussion of outcomes in implant and autologous tissue-based reconstruction, advancements in pre-pectoral implant placement, and new techniques of simultaneous mastectomy with reconstruction combined with gynecologic risk-reducing surgery.
Summary
Choice of reconstruction after prophylactic mastectomy is based on patient factors, availability of specialist services, and patient preference. Informed discussion with patients, plastic surgery, surgical oncology, and gynecology is necessary to determine the best option for each patient.
