Overview

The dorsalis major flap is an interesting therapeutic option in breast reconstruction because of reliability and reproducibility.

In recent years, the minimal flap technique has been developed, which consists of removing only a portion of the of the large dorsal muscle to reduce the painful and functional sequelae of this surgery.

The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the functional and aesthetic results in patients who have undergone who have undergone this procedure (prospective cohort) or who will undergo this procedure or prosthetic reconstruction (prospective cohort).

The investigators also wish to evaluate the quality of life of patients after reconstruction with a minimal harvest dorsalis flap or a prosthesis or prosthesis in the prospective cohort.
