TL;DR: Although the reason for the increase in implant use is multifactorial, changes in mastectomy patterns, such as increased use of bilateral mastectomies, are one important contributor.

Abstract: Background:Despite its benefits in body image, self-esteem, sexuality, and quality of life, historically fewer than 25 percent of patients undergo immediate breast reconstruction. After passage of the Women Health and Cancer Rights Act, studies failed to demonstrate changes in reconstructive rates.

Access to Breast Cancer Treatment and Reconstruction in Rural Populations: Do Women Have a Choice?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess care gaps in breast cancer treatment and reconstruction in rural populations and find that a significant proportion of women do not undergo reconstructive surgery and that geographic barriers play a large role in the lack of access to breast cancer care.

TL;DR: For immediate, free-tissue breast reconstruction, the ACS-NSQIP may be reliable for monitoring and comparing SSI, WD, URO, and URA rates, however, clinicians may find it useful to understand limitations of the AJQIP for complications and risk factors, as it may underreport complications occurring beyond 30 days.

TL;DR: In the first 2 years after the “Going Flat” movement, the number of women going flat after mastectomy has stabilized in women < 70 for the first time in over a decade, suggesting that the social and cultural impact of this movement may have contributed to the stabilization of PMBR rates.

Ph. Blondeel,Guy Vanderstraeten,Stanislas Monstrey,K. Van Landuyt,Patrick Tonnard,Roeland Lysens,Willy Boeckx,G. Matton +7 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the free DIEP flap can limit the surgical damage to the rectus abdominis and oblique muscles to an absolute minimum and it is worthwhile to spend extra operative time, the main disadvantage of this technique, to limit late postoperative weakness of the lower abdominal wall.

TL;DR: The data suggest that procedure type does have a significant effect on gains in vitality and body image for women undergoing delayed reconstruction, and both immediate and delayed breast reconstructions provide substantial psychosocial benefits for mastectomy patients.
