Reconstrucción mamaria con tejido natural - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

Colgajo musculocutáneo de recto abdominal transverso; TRAM; Colgajo de músculo dorsal ancho con implante mamario; Colgajo DIEP (perforador epigástrico inferior profundo); Colgajo glúteo libre

Después del procedimiento:

Usted se quedará en el hospital durante 2 a 5 días.

Cuando se vaya para la casa, aún puede tener drenajes en el pecho, los cuales el cirujano retirará posteriormente durante una visita al consultorio. Se puede presentar dolor alrededor de la incisión después de la cirugía.

Se puede acumular líquido bajo la piel de su axila. Esto se denomina seroma y es bastante común. Los seromas por lo regular desaparecen por sí solos, pero algunas veces es necesario drenarlos.

Pronóstico:

Los resultados de la cirugía de reconstrucción usando tejido natural por lo regular son muy buenos, pero dicha reconstrucción no restablecerá la sensibilidad normal en su nueva mama o pezón.

La recuperación normalmente es más rápida cuando la reconstrucción se hace después de que la herida de la mastectomía haya sanado.

Hacerse la cirugía de reconstrucción mamaria después de un cáncer de mama puede mejorar su sentido de bienestar y su calidad de vida.
