Popis: The demand for breast reconstruction is expected to increase with the currently observed increase in the number of breast cancer patients. Among the 70 patients included in the study, 59 received tissue expanders, 1 received implant, and 10 received deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps. Complications were noted in is 11 patients who received tissue expanders. In this study, age50 years and smoking were associated with higher rates of complication. Choosing an appropriate method for breast reconstruction is important. In addition with plastic surgery, an approach to reduce complications will be necessary in future.
