Abstract
A method of reconstruction of the breast following radical mastectomy is presented. The technique involves the use of an individually made Silastic prosthesis inserted three to six months after the mastectomy. A new simple method of nipple reconstruction is described, and the total restoration can be achieved in one operation. It is suggested that reconstruction of the breast be considered more frequently in patients subjected to mastectomy.
