Description

<p>Few studies have examined the effect of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) on the overall progression of breast cancer therapy. This study examins the effect of IBR on the breast cancer therapy. 142 patients underwent mastectomy in our department (With IBR group, n = 17; Without IBR group, n = 125). We examined the number of days from diagnosis to surgery, operation time, length of postoperative stay, number of days from surgery to postoperative therapy, and complications in patients with or without breast reconstruction and by type of reconstruction. In the IBR group, the operation time was longer (P < 0.001), postoperative hospital stay was longer when adjusted for multivariate analysis (P = 0.008), and complications were significantly more common (P < 0.001), but there was no significant difference when limited to grade ≥3 complications. There was no difference until the start of postoperative treatment. The results reveal that IBR requires coordination between the surgical and operating room staff, and does not affect the transition to postoperative treatment but does affect an increased incidence of minor complications and length of postoperative stay.</p>
