Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction Current Trends and Techniques

This medical reference provides a practical guide to prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction, an approach that spares the chest muscle by using advances in implantable biologic and synthetic products. It covers relevant anatomical knowledge, key skills, and concrete tips for daily practice, following the historical evolution of the technique and a description of the superficial fascia system.

Prominent clinicians and the pioneers of this technique contribute chapters on the main approaches currently available, patient selection, radiation therapy, and postoperative monitoring, as well as particular challenges such as revision surgery. Dedicated chapters address mesh scaffolds and autologous lipomodelling.

With over 150 original full-color illustrations and drawings alongside take-home messages, the volume serves as a reference for residents, fellows, practicing breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and professionals in related sub-specialties.
