[Clinical analysis of 80 cases of breast reconstruction].
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the reasons for the complications after breast reconstruction.


METHODS
The reasons for the complications after breast reconstruction were analyzed in flap necrosis, abdominal wall laxity or hernia and seroma.


RESULTS
The partial necrosis rate of LDF, TRAM and DIEP was 7.5%, 26% and 14.2% respectively. The total flap necrosis rate in DIEP was 7.1%. In 19 cases using breast prosthesis, the capsular contracture rate was 21%.
