Implant salvage in post-mastectomy reconstruction complicated with infection: molecular diagnosis and negative-pressure wound therapy combined with expander

Figure 3. Preoperative and 6-month postoperative view of a BRCA-1 patient who underwent bilateral mastectomy (risk-reducing on the right side and skin-sparing on the left). An infection caused by S. Aureus occurred on the 34th postoperative day on the left side. The patient was promptly enrolled in the fast-track protocol, which successfully preserved the reconstruction.
