A Complete History of Breast Reconstruction

  • Chapter
Breast Reconstruction

Abstract

Reconstruction of the female breast has become a common component of the overall management plan for breast cancer. Throughout ancient times, great controversy regarding such surgical treatment had produced many theories of why and how breast cancer occurred and what was the best treatment of this disease. William Halsted’s introduction of the “Radical Mastectomy” in 1889 revolutionized the realm of breast cancer treatment as it was markedly effective at achieving local control of the disease. Due to beliefs that closure of mastectomy sites could conceal tumor recurrence, breast reconstruction did not gain wide acceptance until the mid-1900s. Today, a plastic surgeon has a variety of autologous techniques to reconstruct the breast. The author describes the historical development of breast reconstruction with the large variety of techniques.
