Abstract
Objective: Evaluate result of breast reconstruction with TRAM flap at K hospital . Method:A cross-sectional study based on 91 breast cancer patients undergoing breast reconstruction using TRAM flap at the Breast surgery Department , K Hospital from 2018 to 2021. Results: mean age was 43, immediate reconstruction in 81 patients and delayed reconstruction in 10 patients. Standard mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy and nipple-sparing mastectomy in 45.5%, 14.5% and 40%. The average time of operation was 236 minutes, general complication rate was 16.5%.Excellent, good and average cosmetic results were 38.3%, 60% and 1.8%. Satisfaction rate was 96.4%.
