title: Breast reconstruction.
abstract: This paper reviews a series of 40 consecutive breast reconstructions. Women of all ages, even many years after mastectomy, are seeking this form of rehabilitation. Breast reconstruction is now a practical proposition because of the low rate of complication and the minimal stay in hospital required.
