| Summary: | Breast ultrasound is the most important tool for breast cancer surveillance after surgery. In particular, when a breast reconstruction is performed for patients with breast cancer, the sonographer should be provided with surgical information to distinguish between a benign lesion and cancer recurrence. This article describes the sonographic changes after breast reconstruction for breast cancer, which vary, but may be typical. Therefore, if breast surgeons and sonographers are aware of the typical sonographic findings, it would be helpful for the early detection and management of postoperative complications. |
