Article Title: Impact of Radiotherapy on Breast Reconstruction
Abstract: Breast reconstruction in the face of radiotherapy poses a unique set of challenges to the plastic surgeon and thus alters the algorithm of the reconstruction. The impact of radiation changes on alloplastic and autologous breast reconstruction is unpredictable. This article reviews the pathophysiology of radiation changes and the alterations to the reconstructive process. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
