Abstract:
Breast cancer is a common disease affecting millions of women, often at a relatively youngage. Every tenth woman in the Uzbekistan develop breast cancer during her lifetime; 2.5 million women survive annually after treatment, and a significant increase in the number of such patients is expected in the coming decades.1 Reconstruction after a mastectomy enables women to alleviate the emotional and aesthetic defect of this severe illness. Successful breast surgery virtually eliminates a postmastectomy psychosocial defect - this is the main disabling factor. Oncoplastic surgery is increasingly performed in Uzbekish women;Uzbekish women usually have normal-big to moderate-sized breasts. To achieve better outcomes in reconstructed breasts, several factors determining the optimal surgical method should be considered.
