Summary

This study looked back at the records of 471 women who had breast cancer surgery with immediate implant reconstruction. It compared a newer method using a tiny camera through small cuts (endoscopic) to the traditional method with a larger cut. The goal was to see which approach leads to fewer complications and better patient satisfaction and quality of life. No new treatments were given; the study simply analyzed existing data to help guide future choices.
