“…Additionally, few women were aware of other non-surgical management options like radiotherapy and hormone therapy. This result was similar to other research (Fathuldeen et al, 2022), but it was the opposite when compared to others (Kothari et al, 2012;Abbas, 2016;Familusi et al, 2019). This can be explained by the fact that most participants used social media as their main source of information, which was evident in both educated and uneducated women, the same observation that was reported in similar research (Fathuldeen et al, 2022).…”

“…psychological issues; these results are supported by other studies as well(Al-Ghazal et al, 2000; Fathuldeen et al, 2022). In our data, there was inadequate knowledge among the respondents regarding the timing of breast reconstruction and where or by whom it is performed, which shows similar results to those reported by other studies(Fathuldeen et al, 2022;Kothari et al, 2012).68.1% of the total 462 participants in asimilar Turkish study answered that health insurance doesn't cover this type of surgery(Abbas et al, 2016).…”

Objectives: Breast health awareness is a necessary subject for women because breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Saudi Arabia and a major cause of death related to cancer, which motivated us to inspect the knowledge of women in our society regarding reconstruction surgery.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among educated females in Almadinah to determine the awareness and acceptance of breast reconstruction surgery. An online validated questionnaire was used to collect the data. Analysis of the data was carried out using RStudio (R version 4.1.1). Results:We analyzed the responses of 342 participants in this study, most of whom were Saudis (97.7%). The majority of respondents admitted that breast reconstruction is important to them (89.2%); the most common reason among the participants who did not accept breast reconstruction surgeries (22.8%) was a procedural failure. Conclusion: We concluded that the majority of women used social media as their source of information, but we still saw a lack of knowledge regarding the surgical options for breast reconstruction, while acceptance of reconstruction was high.

Background: To our knowledge, this is the first and largest study conducted to collect data among surgeons worldwide about breast reconstruction. We have aimed to collect data about breast reconstruction worldwide, the most popular breast reconstruction techniques, and the barriers behind the low rate of breast reconstruction according to surgeons. Methodology: A comparative cross-sectional design was used in this study. A prepared questionnaire, which was developed after reviewing the literature review conducted for this study, was used to collect data. The questionnaire is multiple choice. It was distributed among surgeons online. Results: The study includes 812 participants who live all over the world, representing 79 countries. More than a third of surgeons perform less than 10 breast reconstructions per year (33.38%), and 45.86% of them think that immediate surgery is the most frequent practice. A higher percentage of participants prefer implants over autologous reconstruction as a technique for breast reconstruction (54.9%). Moreover, 39.02% of participants shared that a lack of knowledge about the availability of breast reconstruction was a reason for refusing the surgery. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the breast reconstruction rate is still low and that most surgeons prefer implants that are performed immediately. The lack of knowledge among patients about the availability of breast reconstruction is the most common reason for refusing reconstruction. Therefore, there is a need to increase patient awareness about the availability of this surgery.
