“…A recent systematic review by Guliyeva et al suggests that implant-based breast reconstruction does not increase the risk of PMPS when compared to other surgical techniques or mastectomy alone [ 42 ]. Among the eleven publications included in the review, most reported no elevated risk of PMPS following implant-based reconstruction, and some studies even suggested a potential lower risk of chronic pain with this approach [ 42 ]. However, other studies suggest that tissue expander/implant-based reconstruction may increase the likelihood of PMPS [ 43 ].…”

Purpose of Review This narrative review aims to offer a thorough summary of functional impairments commonly encountered by breast cancer survivors following mastectomy. Its objective is to discuss the factors influencing these impairments and explore diverse strategies for managing them. Recent Findings Postmastectomy functional impairments can be grouped into three categories: neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and lymphovascular. Neuromuscular issues include postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) and phantom breast syndrome (PBS). Musculoskeletal problems encompass myofascial pain syndrome and adhesive capsulitis. Lymphovascular dysfunctions include lymphedema and axillary web syndrome (AWS). Factors such as age, surgical techniques, and adjuvant therapies influence the development of these functional impairments. Summary Managing functional impairments requires a comprehensive approach involving physical therapy, pharmacologic therapy, exercise, and surgical treatment when indicated. It is important to identify the risk factors associated with these conditions to tailor interventions accordingly. The impact of breast reconstruction on these impairments remains uncertain, with mixed results reported in the literature.
