“Microsurgical breast reconstruction - A salvage option for failed implant-based breast reconstruction”
Microsurgical breast reconstruction is a reliable and safe salvage option in patients with failure of implant-based breast reconstruction. Urgent conversion to microsurgical breast reconstruction due to implant-associated complications, such as infection or extrusion, requires more surgical interventions to achieve successful breast reconstruction and has a higher rate of major complications compared to elective conversion.
