What this trial is about
Women who have their breast reconstructed with autologous tissue seem to be more satisfied with their breast. However, autologous breast reconstruction entails a bigger operation, and the usage of more health care resources, than some other methods, such as implant-based techniques. The main objectives of the present study are to investigate if pre- peri- and postoperative protocols can be safely modified, so the operation demands less resources, while maintaining a low complication rate and a high patient satisfaction.
