title: Analysis of long-term results of 326 breast reconstructions.
abstract: It has been the experience of many surgeons that results following breast reconstruction change with time. To evaluate long-term results, the 350 breast reconstructions performed in the authors' department from January 1977 to April 1986 were reviewed. The results of the 326 cases in which there were sufficient data are presented here, and some late results are shown.
