ABSTRACT
Secondly, a total mastectomy without reconstruction, or thirdly, termination of operation pending definitive results of paraffin sections.
The majority of patients within the author’s unit when given these choices opt for an immediate reconstructive procedure following either partial mastectomy or total mastectomy (depending on bed biopsy analysis). Among a group of more than 200 patients undergoing LD miniflap reconstruction, none have chosen a two-stage procedure.
