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. With the growing number of nipple-sparing mastectomies, also the chances of successful one-stage reconstruction with implants are increasing. Local safety is one of the main issues. This study investigated which factors could lead to major or minor complications after expander-based versus direct-to-implant reconstruction.
