Pain and Functional Recovery After Mastectomy and IBR by Implant: Prepectoral Versus Subpectoral Technique

Plain-language summary

This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized study of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) using a pre- or retro-pectoral technique in patients with breast cancer who have undergone total mastectomy. The technique used is chosen according to the characteristics of the breast, the morphology of the patient and her wishes after informed information on the different techniques. The aim is not to compare the two techniques but rather to evaluate the early functional results of these two methods in order to better understand them and to propose a management adapted to each. The main objective will be to evaluate the postoperative pain by BPI questionnaire. The investigators also wish to observe the functional results of the homolateral upper limb by DASH questionnaire, the quality of life by BREAST Q questionnaire and the occurrence of complications.
