Implication

Observational study evaluates complications and satisfaction in patients with autologous reconstruction, indicating PMRT may increase risk but overall satisfaction stays high.

Key Points

Overall complications were significantly higher in patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy at 46.5%, versus 23.7% in those who did not.
Fat necrosis rates were 39.5% in the irradiated group compared to just 8.5% in the unirradiated cohort, indicating serious effects of radiation.
Patients’ BREAST-Q scores for physical well-being were notably lower in the irradiated group, reflecting the impact of PMRT on quality of life.
Advanced radiotherapy techniques like IMRT and VMAT appear to reduce complications, suggesting potential for improved patient outcomes.
