Mastectomy recently evolved as a form of primary prevention of hereditary breast cancer, commonly performed in combination with simultaneous reconstruction. A case of 44-year-old woman who underwent right mastectomy with adjuvant radiotherapy is presented. Due to the patient’s positivity for BRCA1 mutation and her wishes, a risk-reducing mastectomy with nipple-areola complex preservation and bilateral deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap reconstruction were performed in one-stage. In selected cases this method appears to be the best possible procedure for simultaneous preventative and reconstructive management in patients with genetically determined breast cancer who have undergone mastectomy with radiotherapy.}, type={Article}, title={Bilateral DIEP flap breast with simultaneous unilateral nipple-sparing mastectomy — case report}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/122088/PDF-MASTER/2021-03-FMC-08-Ulatowski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/fmc.2021.138955}, keywords={bilateral breast reconstruction, DIEP flap, risk-reducing mastectomy, prophylactic mastectomy, breast cancer, nipple-sparing mastectomy}, }
