Patient-reported outcomes following various incision techniques in breast reconstruction: an observational cohort study in China

Despite the study's limitations, our findings indicate that traditional techniques such as radial incision and inferolateral inframammary fold incision are still prevalent in China. Endoscopic-assisted surgery is associated with superior patient-reported satisfaction, highlighting its potential value for wider dissemination in clinical practice. Factors influencing patient satisfaction include reduced bra cup size, surgical approach, and implant plane.
