title: [Role of plastic reconstructive operations in the rehabilitative treatment of women following mastectomy for breast cancer].
abstract: In 1980--1983, 15 plastic reconstruction surgeries were performed at the Center's clinics. In 11 cases, one-stage reconstruction of the breast was carried out after mastectomy for cancer. 13 females were mastectomized after Halsted and 2--after Patey (radical mastectomy). Good results were obtained in 11 cases. The paper contains a description of a procedure for one-stage mammoplasty for cancer which produces a good uniform bed for silicone prosthesis fixation as well as the breast contour. A musculocutaneous flap from musculus vastus dorsi and a silicone prosthesis were used in all cases of primary reconstruction. Emphasis is placed on the role of plastic reconstruction surgery as a factor of medical and social rehabilitation of females operated on for breast cancer.
