“…There were more delayed complications and more surgical revisions in the group RI (27,3%, RR RI vs. others = 6,4 [2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]6]; p=0,0005). Considering all complications, TRAM and RI reconstructions required more surgical revisions than LD reconstructions (RR TRAM vs. LD = 2,7 [1,[4][5]3] and RR RI vs. LD = 4,2 [2,[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]6]; p=0,0006). Twelve reconstruction failures were noted with 1 complete TRAM flap loss and 11 implants removal (6 in LDI and 5 in RI).…”

“…The rationale for this belief was that the added surgical trauma and risk were unwarranted in the breast cancer patient and might induce recurrence of the disease. During the 1980s investigators started performing immediate reconstruction using breast implants, without any increase in complication or local recurrence rates (134). The safety of this tactic has been repeatedly demonstrated during the past two decades (135± 137).…”
