Local safety of immediate reconstruction during primary treatment of breast cancer. Direct-to-implant versus expander-based surgery

After mastectomy, immediate breast reconstruction is paramount.

This study investigated which factors could lead to major or minor complications after expander-based versus direct-to-implant reconstruction.
