Discussing the most current and pioneering techniques in breast reconstruction without the use of implants, this is the volume every breast surgeon has been waiting for. Focusing not only on how to reconstruct breasts following mastectomy but also on how to achieve the highest degree of aesthetic success possible, Dr. Kroll describes in detail his techniques in using autologous tissue. Over 500 photographs and custom illustrations demonstrate and compare the different techniques used in breast reconstruction with autologous tissue such as conventional TRAM flaps, free TRAM flaps, the extended latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, and the Rubens fat pad free flap. Also include are chapters on immediate and delayed reconstructions, shaping the breast mound, nipple and areolar reconstruction and choice of technique, follow-up and patient selection.
