The study investigates the effectiveness of two surgical techniques (Wise pattern vs. modified vertical technique) for post-mastectomy reconstruction in patients with severe breast ptosis.
It highlights that while both methods had similar BMI among patients, the Wise pattern showed a higher incidence of complications, such as seroma and skin necrosis.
The findings suggest that the vertical pattern might be a safer and simpler option for certain patients, potentially reducing the risk of complications.
