Postmastectomy radiation therapy and breast reconstruction: an analysis of complications and patient satisfaction.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Sacropelvic resection is the treatment of choice for pelvic bone tumors and can be associated with intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) to optimize local control of the disease. Reconstruction with flaps also is essential to avoid pelvic complications. There is scarcity of publications evaluating o...
