BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH DERMAL SLING FLAP – SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH DERMAL SLING FLAP – SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Reconstructive breast surgery is part of a comprehensive treatment for breast cancer. Awareness, education, self-examination techniques and regular medical examinations brought an increase in the early detection of breast oncopathologies, which lead to an increase in oncosurgical procedures with subsequent reconstruction. One of the reconstruction option is breast reconstruction using a dermal sling. Breast reconstruction using an implant and a dermal sling is a surgical technique that uses a double skin cover of the implant during immediate reconstruction in ptotic and large breasts. Objective: The aim of this work is to describe the theoretical knowledge about breast reconstruction with a focus on reconstruction using the dermal sling in immediate reconstruction surgery. The aim is also to introduce surgical techniques as a possibility of directing the patient in the treatment process to oncologists and surgical oncologists. Core of work: The core of our work categorises the reconstruction using the dermal sling as an immediate reconstruction in ptotic breasts and at the same time describes in detail the planning of the surgical marking and the surgery itself. Conclusion: Theoretical work describing the surgical technique using the dermal sling summarises the reconstruction as an affordable, reliable and safe method of immediate reconstruction, it belongs to the complex oncosurgical treatment of breast disease. Last but not least, it is more cost-effective than popular methods using acellular dermis and other types of meshes. Minimising the use of foreign materials leads to a reduction in the tissue morbidity of the reconstructed tissue.
