title: Immediate single-stage TRAM and nipple-areola reconstruction.
abstract: Single-stage breast reconstruction (SSBR) is a concept that unifies several complex individual procedures to create a finished breast reconstruction in one process. The key to reproducible and predictable results is proper patient selection. SSBR is another step in the effort to improve the quality of life in patients with carcinoma of the breast.
