Mammary reconstruction in Tunisia |
There are 3 classical methods to reconstruct the chest :
The reconstruction
through mammary prothesis only.
The reconstruction through mammary prothesis
and the strip of the big Dorsal
The reconstruction through the strip without
prothesis type Big Straight
It is possible to reconstruct the chest using
tissues from other parts of the body (strip) ;either the skin of the abdomen (strip
of the big straight), either the skin of the back(the strip of the big dorsal).
The
strip of the Big Dorsal uses the skin of the back and the muscle of the big dorsal
(which function is not indispensable in everyday movements)
Advantages:
In certain case it allows to reconstruct the chest without prothesis
at the expense of a scar that can be hidden by brassiere .This is a reliable and
useful method.
Disadvantages :
Most
often the adding of the prothesis under the strip is necessary in order to reconstruct
a sufficient volume for the chest. The skin color of the back is sometimes different
from that of the chest that provides with an aspect of 'cutaneous patch'.
