Do inverted-T skin-reducing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction using the submuscular-subfascial pocket?
The authors' series suggests that skin-reducing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction can be easily and safely performed when an appropriate conservative skin-reducing mastectomy pattern is designed, providing complete autologous implant coverage with the submuscular-subfascial pocket. However, further studies are needed to enhance patient selection and reduce the complication rate.
