After underlining the serious psychological consequences of radical mastectomy for carcinoma and the importance of breast reconstruction for the patient's complete recovery, the paper briefly reviews the main reconstruction techniques employed in restoring breast volume which is essentially achieved by inserting an artificial prosthesis below a myocutaneous skin flap often taken from the great dorsal. Some mention is also made of recently developed alternative techniques.
